  Science can now "grow" new body parts for us.

  If this is how we renew ourselves in the New System....then what is the price?

  What new rules will there be? And what will the new punishments be for not meeting up to standards of perfection?

  Suppose you "sin" in some manner. Does this mean you will be denied your new heart and you will have to suffer and die off?

  Since man has not been able to learn to treat each other with respect and "do right", perhaps that is why this god will be stepping in to monitor everyone. In the New System, there will be concrete "evidence" of your sins. How? The eye in the sky. You will be tracked. You will be monitored. Your every conversation will be filtered through more ears. (Jehovahs shadow government is dictating to the officials who are already in place.) To bring this to reality, as a for instance, one of the bills to be passed before Bush is out of office calls for local law enforcement surveillence of citizens and their activities even though it does not relate to any crime. There will be notes and records and files on everyone...your habits and your associations.

  What harm is that if you are doing nothing wrong? Maybe nothing, but it's creepy. Plus you don't know what kind of laws you may have in the new system. Maybe it will be like Kingdom Hall...bans on music, books, certain people...rules like being in attendance every day for a asskissing worship service....maybe sacrificing your children....who knows? You are bowing to a punishing god who has serious ego and temper problems.

  Suppose you are in slavery of some sort in the New System? You already know Jehovah is a killing god and full of trickery and conditions. Can you imagine what might be in store for you if you choose to live forever under his dictates?

  Could it be a curse to live forever in the new system? I think the scriptures say there will come a time when men seek death and it will escape them.

  The New Order will be like Zombo.com.

  A fate worse than death.

  Vachi 8 He Is

  "Wrong! You can't! I can do whatever the hell I want, I'm a human being not some god damned robot."-John "Cybernetic organism"-T108 Unfortunately, we would have to be robots. Our choices of doing or not doing regardless of their intent will lead to some bad things happening. God just can't shut this off. But if he does manage to do so he will kill of the very fascination that has grabbed his attention for all these years. With no choices being made by humans, god wouldn't have anything to do in this new system of his (not that he does jack anyway) So god knows where he can put his new system as far as Vachi is concerned.

  Could it be a curse to live forever in the new system?

  Believe it or not, this had a large role in my divorce and disfellowshipping. I figured that I'd rather die at Armageddon than live forever married to that man. And I knew I'd never get a divorce post-Armageddon. I hated him so much back then. Now I just dislike him, am mostly indifferent to him.

  Yes, i think so. As people get older, they get more resistant to change. A world filled w thousands yrs old people would become frozen in a monotonous life style. They would turn into little more than automatons. 'Course, that fits perfectly in the development curve from the wt org today.

  It would be a curse to have to live under all the rules that the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger puts out. Those rules are designed to stagnate people (even worse than those of society in general), and that is what makes living forever such a burden. And there would be no escaping it, since the Washtowel Slaveholdery would control all knowledge and own everyone and everything outright.

  I call it the New Dark Ages--which is what they are seeking.

  Life is a blessing - as long as you

  Enjoy it

  Give it a purpose

  otherwise it can be HELL - hence the euthanasia agitators.

  You don't need to make up rules for why life is worth living or when should you die.

  What I want is to live for as long as I want to. Then when I have had enough to GO.

  If all pain and disease were eliminated, and all opportunities possible most people would choose to live any years longer than at present.

  At what point does being alive become a CURSE - answer that one and you answer your question.

  I think we live forever now. We just dont all know it.

  I think we keep coming back in various forms.

  When we return to the spirt conciousness we can reflect on our past lives and experiences and who we are.

  When we get tired of hanging out and reflecting we reincarnate because thats the only game in town.
