  It is all such a man made fantasy, the WTS pictures of paradise are such BS, they show houses with all the modern conveniences of asphalt roofs, stucco, etc, well where are they going to get these from? if all of this will have been destroyed, and if lets say in their fantasy world some of these manufacturing plants survived intact, who is going to work there? I assure you no JW alive today plans on going to a regular job in the new system, so it aint happening.

  Not that I buy any of this earthly paradise BS, but it would be more believable if the houses they pictured were more like the homes the early settlers had, made from logs, or maybe mud huts in tropical areas, things that do not require manufactured items, horse drawn carriages, assuming horses survive the big A, but then if they showed what it would REALLY be like if the big A, happened as they have been teaching all these years, it would not be a pretty picture.

  There would be no beautiful garden like scenes like they show, the world would be a ugly, stinky, muddy mess, if they showed it that way no one would want to be there and go thru all of that, so like the good sales people they are, they show everyone the cleaned up, surreal paradise, that everyone would like to be in, THE CARROT THEY DANGLE IS QUITE DESIRABLE, UNTIL YOU GET CLOSE AND SEE IT'S ONLY PLASTIC !

  How very sad, my mom has in the past described to me how her home in the new system would look in great detail, she has actually sat there and designed this, drawn it out and all, this was after a talk was given that encouraged doing this, so it would be more real, and faith building. Yeah, keep that false dream alive and keep slaving for the WTS, she is a regular pioneer and thinks this life is not to be enjoyed because the REAL life begins after the big A. My poor delusional Mom, what to do? At this point let her live with that dream, she is in her late sixties, and has wasted her life in this CRAP, what does she have now? She lives alone, is divorced from her JW cheating spouse. I just hope she can at least find some nice pioneer brother to keep her company so she will at least enjoy some happiness before she goes.

  I do think it's funny that most JWs think they'll have all the modern conveniences, or even more advanced gadgets than now. Since I still believe in a Paradise, I think that life will be simpler and slower paced, and we'll have an agrarian life style. I don't rule out some modern things, but I'd be surprised if we have all the gadgets we have today. After all, if you live forever, do you need time-saving devices?

  no periods, all the women will be over 50. No sex for that matter as there is no marriage in the new system, and no kids are allowed once the world is full. Oh no, and no porn on the internet. All the brothers will go mad.

  No sex organs perhaps?

  Officially, there is marriage in the new system for those JWs who survive the great tribulation. The WTS only teaches that people resurrected will not marry and have children.

  The WTS does say that when the earth is "full" of people, God could stop procreation. But not necessarily marriage. Otherwise everyone might as well go to heaven where they is no sex or procreation.

  The thing is that JWs expect that the paradise will have all the things they have now without 6 billion people to compete with. That they will magically be able to play the piano without learning to read music or practice; that somehow there will be electricity, running water, etc., without anyone to run these things. You would think that New Orleans is a good example of how quickly infrastructure collapses and the number of people it takes to repair and keep it running.

  I wonder who wants to work at the waste treatment plants for 24 hours shifts? Or the electric company working the turbines or the hydroelectric dams? Who is going to pump the oil and refine the gas?

  Who is going to plant the grain, harvest it, grind it, and bake it into bread? The Little Red Hen

  Sara Cone Bryant (Retold from Joseph Jacobs)

  One day as the Little Red Hen was scratching in a field, she found a grain of wheat.

  "This wheat should be planted," she said. "Who will plant this grain of wheat?"

  "Not I," said the Duck.

  "Not I," said the Cat.

  "Not I," said the Dog.

  "Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.

  Soon the wheat grew to be tall and yellow.

  "The wheat is ripe," said the Little Red Hen. "Who will cut the wheat?"

  "Not I," said the Duck.

  "Not I," said the Cat.

  "Not I," said the Dog.

  "Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.

  When the wheat was cut, the Little Red Hen said, "Who will thresh the wheat?"

  "Not I," said the Duck.

  "Not I," said the Cat.

  "Not I," said the Dog.

  "Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.

  When the wheat was threshed, the Little Red Hen said, "Who will take this wheat to the mill?"

  "Not I," said the Duck.

  "Not I," said the Cat.

  "Not I," said the Dog.

  "Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.

  She took the wheat to the mill and had it ground into flour. Then she said, "Who will make this flour into bread?"

  "Not I," said the Duck.

  "Not I," said the Cat.

  "Not I," said the Dog.

  "Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.

  She made and baked the bread. Then she said, "Who will eat this bread?"

  "Oh! I will," said the Duck.

  "And I will," said the Cat.

  "And I will," said the Dog.

  "No, No!" said the Little Red Hen. "I will do that." And she did.
