"...all men staying 34 years old and all women staying 16."
That not only isn't right, it isn't fair. I say all men will be 22 and all women will be 21. Now that would be fair.
Men could call them young ladies and women could call the husband her "old man" then.I know that JW's are whacko, but I also know there are stranger ones out there. Heck, I think the Mormons
and the Scientologists are much more whacko. -

While this is indeed one of the strangest of the strange, I am seeing that mainstream churches are beginning to fall in line with certain watchtower doctrine now. Many are downplaying the "rapture" and are starting to promote Paradise Earth, which they have never done before.
One of the oddest choices of words here is that Satan is given full recognition as a "god" equal to Yahweh, and not as a fallen disobedient angel.
Me, personally, I think they are two faces of the same deity.
Destroying all religions
or
unbelievable message from the World Illuminator to
Jews and through them to the whole World. John. 4-22; Zech. 8-23.Illuminator?

all women staying 16."
That wouldn't appeal to fundamentalist Mormons very much.
They like their wives a couple years younger than that.

The Essence of This CallAccording to the above said it is clear that h e who would like to become immortal should join neither a true religion, nor Abraham, nor Balaam, nor Israel, nor Ishmael, nor Buddha, nor Confucius, nor Zoroaster, nor Mohammad, nor Pope, nor Crimean Pope, nor Luther, nor Kelvin, nor Mormon, nor Rudometkin, nor Pashkov, nor Vilman, nor Leon Deroni, nor Rabbi the Great, nor Melchizedek the Greatest1), but YEHOWAH ... blah blah blah ..
That statemen seems a tad contradictory to their reason for being (I can't spell raison detra).
Apart from physical 'fleshly' desires, what do a 34 year old man and 16 year old girl have in common? Of course it's not about that but dominance and good old fashioned patriachal power. And I guess it's a matter of promising people what they want. Thus the appeal to a man's lust and a woman's vanity.
I can't believe I read all that crap. Our own JC Bibleman can write much better bible bollocks :lol:

Now, if we could use science to make both men and women stay 18 forever (though they would have the same legal rights once they turn 21 in calendar years--they would never age past 18). And that would be true, even though they would have on their birth certificates and other ID that they are something like 125--and still functionally 18.
