    "I don't think God is just going to snap his fingers, and everything is perfect the day after.

    Once again, everyone who survived will have to prove their worth, fortitude, and ability to be in subjection to the morons you just spent the last 50 years tolerating. Now they will be in charge of your housing, job assignments, along with meeting and probably tons of worship attendance."

    First off, Jehoober is a God of order, not of disorder, so there is NO WAY he will let the cleanup last 1,000 years. He's already training the Dubs for the job by having them bring their brooms and dust pans to the District Conventions and having them do yard work at the KH cleaning. Throw in cleaning up any dead birds, etc., out of the KH gutters or from the KH parking lot and you have a fully trained Post-A Earth Restoration Crew. Isn't this a loving provision from the great and powerful Jehoober?

    Second, the morons you've been tolerating for 50 years won't just be in charge of you for the cleanup. They'll be in charge of you forever, with the great Jehoober's blessing. Now they'll progress to being perfect a$$holes rather than just a$$holes.

    Third, worship for Dubs is going out in field service. Since the all powerful and ever-loving Jehoober will have killed off all the householders (but left their homes intact and ready for the Dubs to occupy), there will be no need for field service, thus no need for worship. I guess this means that Jehoober will be destroying all of the coffee shops and the heathens in them, as there will no longer be coffee breaks.

    Ah, yes, life in paradise. Even the birds will be chirping Kingdom Melodies all day long.

    Oh, and about Armageddon II: The Final Test, I found some very interesting information from the Book of Enoch that concerns that very thing.

    There is nothing about each person living for a thousand years. It also says there will be youth AND old age. Perhaps if you are not "approved" you will not be "qualified" for the eternal youth part?

    eexcerpt:

    Destroy all wrong from the face of the earth and let every evil work come to an end: and let the plant of righteousness and truth appear: and it shall prove a blessing; the works of righteousness and truthÕ shall be planted in truth and joy for evermore.

    17 And then shall all the righteous escape, And shall live till they beget thousands of children, And all the days of their youth and their old age Shall they complete in peace.

    18 And then shall the whole earth be tilled in righteousness, and shall all be planted with trees and

    19 be full of blessing.

    The biggest difference is that Jesus speaks of "life everlasting" and eternal. To me this means infinite; forever.

    Jehovah gives a finite date. 1000 years. And even so, you are not guaranteed a permanent youthful condition.

    restrangled: I don't think God is just going to snap his fingers, and everything is perfect the day after.

    I agree, restrangled (I don't believe any of this, but let's play anyway). Dubs are fond of the "poof-earth theory," but they don't have any trouble with the idea that Noah was forced to build an ark, gather the critters, and live with the stench and seasickness for 40 days. Why didn't God just "poof-bad guys gone"? It would certainly have been a far less difficult task for God than creating the instantaneous earth.

    Why didn't God just "poof" the Israelites out of Egypt and directly into the promised land? The way he actually accomplished the task was so messy and tacky -- plagues, the Red Sea ecosystem disrupted (perhaps permanently!), the wandering around in the desert, the brushing of sand off the manna before eating. So much effort wasted by a God that is supposed to be able to "poof" anything.

    Yes, the dubbies in the New Order/World/System or whatever they're calling it now will have a lot of work to do piling up those billions of toasted corpses, rebuilding houses, winching cars out of earthquake crevices, finding gasoline to run them.

    God won't make it easy for them. Past practice indicates that God will work those dubs like rented mules. Enjoy, dubbies! No "poofing" for you!

    Parakeet, you have a good point. If Jehoober can make the world in only seven days, why can't he clean it up in a couple of hours?

    Interesting is it not that god is going to again produce a mass murder just like the flood of Noah's day in are time as a second mass murder ,

    and then once again after the 1000 year of Christ's reign, but its still said that he is a loving and just god toward all of mankind....ummmm

    Why in the hell would he do that????! He's got plenty of free brain-dead labour!

    I think Jehovah is going to make it as miserable, non-satisfying, arduous, and uncertain as He possibly can. That will get as many people to justifiably complain about His lousy p*** poor provisions so He can have someone to backstab and to kill (He will instantly kill those people). You will have to endlessly show that you love that Almighty Lowlife Scumbag, and He will never stop testing you. Never.

    I think I would rather get destroyed. That Almighty Lowlife Scumbag cannot permanently destroy me twice, and He used that up because I did not volunteer to remain celibate for life and spread His cancer worldwide. I challenge Him to permanently destroy me a second time for apostasy.

    WTWizard, now that would make an interesting obituary!

    "WTWizard killed by the Almighty Lowlife Scumbag for spreading the truth."

    Post - No. Some things were, some weren't , and all wrong to one degree or other but you were crazy so you wouldn't have understood if it had been explained to you.
