it's because the New System isn't a reality.
I can't imagine where they would get that idea. They've only been preaching its nearness for over a century. Why give up now?
One Day of "The Real Life"

What seems to be missing is an understanding of what makes the good points in our lives enjoyable: periods of not so good times. I find that when I have a weekend of nothing but activities and highs, I look forward to a crash. When there are periods of boredom, or even stress, you look forward to the good times that much more. Now how can an eternity of picking raspberries and tickling foxes (I couldn't bear to read any more than that) be enjoyable beyond a certain point? Rock stars who snort coke and bang hot groupies every night get tired of that too. How can every day being the same fantastic thing become fun for an eternity?
I think people would seriously look for drugs and alcohol in the New System TM . I think they'd want to kill themselves after awhile.

I could but notice the fact that worms aren't benefitting from the New Life, as hens still are eating them. And I wonder how the foxes can sustain themselves. In fact, I wonder what everyone eats. People are not supposed to slaughter cows, or maybe cows aren't supposed to benefit from the new life, either? Henrietta the Llama is still a beast of burden, from what I see. Of course, she never went to any meetings.
It seems that there is sex in the new world, after all. Otherwise, how did Elizabeth, the new granddaughter, came to be?
In another line of thought, I wonder if the Watchtower has ever stopped to think that life as we know it today requires dirty rotten worldlies to take care of things so hateful in jehovah's eyes such as, for example, spending many years in college to be able to design computers, or not attending meetings to make sure corn gets to the market, or organizing "message services", or designing and manufacturing the very printing machines the Watchtower owns. How could a better world be even thinkable without the worldlies? Who would make the tea kettle? I am sure Jehovah isn't going to spare many Chinese, since Armageddon is so close and they aren't witnesses. Wow. And, the new world has cars, and then roads, and then pollution?
Of course, Jehovah has a preference for Caucasians. In the new life, eyes of blue and hair of gold. No mention is even made of Brother Jawaharlal and his very dark skin, for example. Or brother Sun Myung Moon. Or, the fact that most Jehovah's witnesses aren't white. Or the fact that most of the resurrected wouldn't be White.
How sad that these things are even written. How sad that some people believe them.

The Hungarian Suicide Song came to mind for some reason
Sunday is Gloomy,
My hours are slumberless,
Dearest, the shadows I live with are numberless
Little white flowers will never awaken you
Not where the black coach of sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thought of ever returning you
Would they be angry if I thought of joining you
Gloomy Sunday
Sunday is gloomy
with shadows I spend it all
My heart and I have decided to end it all
Soon there'll be flowers and prayers that are sad,
I know, let them not weep,
Let them know that I'm glad to go
Death is no dream,
For in death I'm caressing you
With the last breath of my soul I'll be blessing you
Gloomy Sunday
Dreaming
I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you
Asleep in the deep of
My heart
Dear
Darling I hope that my dream never haunted you
My heart is telling you how much I wanted you
Gloomy Sunday -
