Like I mentioned in my previous post, God can allow us to keep our memories if he wants to. And I'm definitely not a JW. Paul wrote "absent from the body, present with Lord." That indicates we will go to heaven awaiting the final judgement and our placement in new bodies and on the new earth. My take on it is that there is no time in heaven; so everything is perceived as the present. Because of this, we (the saved) will all wake up at the same time for the final judgement and our residence on the new earth. Since the bible doesn't speak to this issue in detail, we can only speculate.

Oh, and so, God causes Alzheimer's? But, only those Alzheimer's Elect get to remember?
I don't know whether non-elect will know or not. Is this a make or break issue with you? As a side note: I am not a calvinist. When I speak of the elect, I am referring to those who are in Christ; that is his followers.
