JWs' Interpretation of 1 Corinthians 15:51–52

This question is primarily for JWs, however, anyone may participate in this discussion. But what I would like to ask is: What is JWs' interpretation of 1 Corinthians 15:51–52?
50 But I tell you this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God’s Kingdom, nor does corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Look! I tell you a sacred secret: We will not all fall asleep in death, but we will all be changed,i 52 in a moment, in the blink of an eye, during* the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound,j and the dead will be raised up incorruptible, and we will be changed.

Have some of your people floated up to heaven already?
Jehovahs Witnesses are no different from most mainstream religions in our belief that all spirit anointed Christians go to heaven when they die. The final calling however of those alive when Jesus returns has not happened as we believe that event (the return of Christ) is a future event.
I see. So, how many JWs who have passed away already have gotten instantaneously converted into heavenly spirit beings in the twinkling of an eye?






I don't know.

So, what DO you know about this topic in regard to the 19th, the 20th, and the 21st centuries of the history of the Jehovah's Witnesses organization?

I've already told you, see POST #6 : viewtopic.php?p=1122925#p1122925

If there anything else revealed in scripture about what happens in heaven, I can share the Jehovah’s Witness understanding; I cannot go beyond the things written.

I see. Well, it's too late to edit my OP, therefore, I will start a new thread with a better description of what I was actually asking about: viewtopic.php?t=40752
