After Armegeddon Whats the plan? (page 3)

This quote from the 1953 Watchtower doesn't paint a very pretty picture for the Armageddon survivors. One could ask the Watchtower how they define the words, "for quite some time".

Just how long of a span of time do those words refer to? And why wouldn't God's people be on relief right after Armageddon? Also, where exactly are Jehovah's people to drag off all of these ruins?

If Jehovah's people will not be on any relief for quite some time, then how many will die in their attempts to clear away these ruins? Couldn't some of these ruins contain unexploded bombs from the old world?

What about diseases in these ruins? Couldn't Jehovah's people catch a deadly virus if these ruins are still present and needing to be cleared away? A lot of unanswered questions arise!

Watchtower-1953-December-15-p.759-para.36

After Armageddon we shall keep looking to him. After this world lies in ruins and we enter the new world, we shall not be on any relief. Jehovah through his King will open his hand and we shall not suffer while we may have to carry on for some time amid the ruins of the old world, till these are cleared away. http://www.wirefiles.com/show.php/7201_ZARMA10001.jpg Cheers!

After this world lies in ruins and we enter the new world, we shall not be on any relief.

It's sad, as so many feel that survival of Armegeddon is what it will take to fineally have relief. I wonder why if we are soooooooo close to the end, why they don't have their current talks about the difficulty there will be after Armegeddon. Why not give a reality check to the whole thing? I suppose whatever trauma anyone endured will not have any effect either?

Has there ever been speculation when the ressurection will start. How can there be teaching and cleaning up ruins?

Here's the plan:

1. Pack a huge picnic basket, find a clear space among the piles of rotting bodies, and enjoy a theocratic meal while watching carrion birds pick the decaying flesh from the victims' bones.

2. Find a big, beautiful, and conveniently deserted house, and move in. Any corpses inside will have to be carried out and dumped for the birds, of course.

3. Read the latest WT articles that gloat "We DID Know the Day and Hour!" and "Apostates Finally Get Theirs!" These WTs would be miraculous WTs, of course, since paper and ink supplies will have been disrupted, and postal and delivery services will no longer exist.

4. Take a hike to find the biggest, most gentle, straw-eating intestinal worm you can find and take it home to keep as a pet.

5. Plant some Miracle Wheat. It will finally start living up to its name.

6. Try desperately not to miss electricity, running water, TVs, the Internet, cars, coffee, and Philly cheese steaks.

For any JW lurkers read this, feel free to print out this list and keep it somewhere handy.

Can everyone just imagine ? All the major news networks will be running rampant !

I think in the beginning, they just think Jah will provide. But what about the long term. Where will we get things from when there's no more factories or stores. Either we will have to go back to the dark ages or end up reproducing this system of things. I don't think they really think about it too clearly.

And can you imagine the rules and the power struggles! After all, they won't be perfect for quite some time. If you think they treat people unfairly now, just imagine what they would do as "princes."

Way back someone gave my mother a copy of the Paradise book. It made Paradise look pretty good. Of course it didn't really appeal to us as we were already Christians and had complete faith in going to heaven after we died, something JWs don't believe in.

Now that JWs are more open about all the birds eating the dead bodies, even of women and innocent children, and all the ruins everywhere, I don't know how they can keep anybody looking forward to that day.

It's hardly the pretty picture they had been portraying. And then factor in all the rules about dead spouses not really being spouses after they are resurrected, and it's a wonder anybody's still buying into the JW version of paradise.

Personally, I don't believe they even have that much of the story correct, but give them the right to believe it if they want to. I just find it sad that the pretty picture they had been spoonfed is getting uglier by the day.

Atlantis, Considering that 'soon' has been over 120 years, I dread to think how long 'quite some time' is!

Zico:

Me too! Those words could mean for a thousand years for all the JWs know! And what about all of those flesh eating birds? Do JWs think that these birds will just wake up one morning and no longer have a taste for flesh? If not, just how safe would JW children be around these flesh eating birds?

Thanks Zico!

Flesh eating birds? I thought all the animals were going to turn into vegetarians!?
