Will the new system be uncrowded?

M.J.

I was talking to an elder yesterday about how enjoyable it is to get away from civilization in remote wilderness areas, unlike the circus you see at places like Yosemite Natl. Park in California. With dreamy eyes he mentioned how great it will be in the "new system", when "we can enjoy uncrowded conditions."

I thought about this but it didn't seem to add up. Wasn't the bulk of mankind that are already dead supposed to be resurrected to this same earth, as JWs teach? I've seen statistics (contrary to some popular myths out there) that about 5.8% of all people that ever lived are alive today: http://www.overpopulation.org/faq.html

So if there are 6 billion people on earth right now, that means...97 Billion people are "in the grave"!

Let's say only half of those are resurrected. Is that being too generous? In any case that's 48.5 billion! 8 times earth's current population!

Doesn't quite sound like "uncrowded conditions".

Nope. Assuming the numbers provided are correct, that is obviously an unliveable situation.

If it happens, I guess it might be just a little crowded, but it isn't going to happen anyway.

It Won't be too crowded since we will all live in 100 story high rise apartment buildings. Of course the beaches will be crowded.

My best guess is that the 75/25 water to land ratio would have to be reversed to accomodate everyone.

The WT Paradise is a myth.

Maybe this is the GREAT CROWD that the bible talked about. All I can say is the JW's had better keep plenty of those little time slips available in the new system.

Becha didn't know that paradise is going to look like George Lucas's Coruscant.

I wonder if they'll have to keep the lions in their high rise apartments? Do they make litter boxes that big?

What about my boat?

Humans are social creatures - we accomplish more together than alone. We gravitate and congregate in all manner of ways, and this is why we build cities. The average JW does not even consider this when they envision paradise. It's just rolling hills and then, out in the middle of nowhere, a traditional frame house. Where is their water coming from? Food? How do they transport goods? Where did the materials to build the house come from? Those houses should actually resemble the stone and brick huts of an agrarian society, since those will be the materials most readily available to builders with no tractors or machines and certainly no oil and gas to power them. What is even more fantastical and rediculous, however, is the clothing they are often depicted as wearing in the WT & Awake! Where are these clothes made? Where did they find those pink polo shirts and kahki pants?
