Hi Peg, Speaking of judgement day, what is the Witness view of the judgement of those that did not have the chance to get to know God, or about God, so as to accept God and his Son as their God and Savior? Are they lost forever?
no, they are not lost forever...not at all.
Jesus spoke of a resurrection. Both good and bad will be resurrected during Judgement day.
John 5:28
Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.
So we believe that everyone, even those who did not know God and did not worship him, will be brought back to life during the judgement day. Even the people who put Jesus to death will be resurrected at that time.
I read part of the site that you posted...It says here,
"Will the judgment of resurrected ones be based on what they did before their death? No. The Bible teaches that “he who has died has been acquitted from his sin.” (
Romans 6:7) So, like those who survive the end of this system, those resurrected to life on earth will be judged “according to their deeds” during Judgment Day. (
Revelation 20:12, 13) Depending on the final outcome of their actions, this will turn out to be either a resurrection that results in everlasting life or a resurrection that results in destruction. Many of those restored to life will for the first time come to know about Jehovah God and his requirements for life. They will have the opportunity to live in harmony with God’s will and receive everlasting life on earth."
This is totally new to me, that one is not judged for what they did before their death, but what they do during judgement day. I thought what we did during our lives was what we are judged for. Isn't that like saying one isn't punished for their sins during their life? That although they weren't good people,if they are during judgement day they will be saved? And once one has "met" God and the Son, and understand, they all would be good? right? and therefore be save?
Let me ask you this....when a criminal is sentenced or fined for a crime they commit, after serving the sentence or paying the fine, will the court issue them another sentence for the same crime???
No. Once you have served the sentence or paid the fine, the crime is justified or atoned for.
everyone who dies in this system, die as a punishment for 'all' their sins. Thats why there is no need to judge them for these sins again. They have already paid the penalty for all the sins they committed while alive.
God has no reason to punish them again for the same sins. I know this is difficult for many to understand, but the fact is, mankind were not created to die. We were created to live forever.... but death is the punishment for sin and we all pay the price.
Adam was warned what disobedience would result in....death.
Gen 2:16 
Jehovah God also gave this command to the man: “From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. 17 But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will certainly die.”
Notice that the man would only 'die' if he 'ate from the tree'.... so ask yourself this: Would he have died if he did not eat from the tree?
our answer is no. And thats why we accept that death ends all sin and no future punishment is required. When we die, we are justified by the law of God. Therefore in the future resurrection, everyone will be starting life with a clean slate so to speak. God will only judge them on how they behave thereafter.
It also says that those that did not repent of their sins, that were bad before their death, will be judged for that behavior, or is that also only their behavior during judgement day?
Hope that I'm do being too confusing, that my questions are clear. Thanks

They can only be judged for how they choose to live and behave after they are brought back to life...the sins they commited before they died are finished, they are washed away. The new covenant makes this possible
Jeremiah 31:31 
“Look! The days are coming,” declares Jehovah, “when I will make with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant. 32 It will not be like the covenant that I made with their forefathers on the day I took hold of their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, ‘my covenant that they broke, although I was their true master,’ declares Jehovah.” 33 “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares Jehovah. “I will put my law within them, and in their heart I will write it. And I will become their God, and they will become my people.” 34 “And they will no longer teach each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know Jehovah!’ for they will all know me, from the least to the greatest of them,” declares Jehovah. “For I will forgive their error, and I will no longer remember their sin.”
The new covenant is made possible by the blood of Jesus. Thats why its so important to express faith in that shed blood and know that we can have a clean standing before God. The memorial celebration that we hold discusses how his blood saves us and explains in detail the meaning and value of his blood.
I would really encourage you to find a local Kingdom Hall for April 14th and go along to the memorial observance.
