Is that really what Armageddon's supposed to be like?

  I'm just wondering if that's really what JW's say Armageddon's going to be like. Approximately one in a thousand people are active JW's, so that means that each JW will have a thousand dead bodies to clean up. What if it depresses you so much after picking the bits and pieces of families dead around their dinner table that you want to die?

  Do JW's believe that after Armageddon they can no longer die? Do the laws of physics no longer apply? What if you're buried under cement, and cannot get out, and spend eternity like that?

  After Armageddon are JW's going to be running around trying to figure out how to shut down unmanned nuclear reactors, or is God going to clean up all the mess himself?

  What if you become an Athiest, or start to hate God after Armageddon? Or do you become a puppet with no free will?

  What if you're born with a defect, or are retarded, do you stay like that?

  I make videos as a hobby, and I think making an "accurately" depicted movie of what JW's expect Armageddon to be might actually show the ridiculousness of it (another idea to add to my endless list). Although I know JW's make up excuses for everything... so lay it on me, what are the excuses?

  The way I understand it, they are going to slowly attain perfection over the thousand years of Jesus' rule. If at any point they are not going along with the program they would continue aging and get old and die the way they do now. The good little older dubbies would keep getting younger while the younger ones would stop aging at around their early thirties, the prime of life. Basically, obedience=life, pretty much like it's laid out in the Torah. If they are obedient through the thousand years, and resist Satan's last stand, they get immortality. How that works for a biological body is anybody's guess.

  Oh I don't think they have to worry about picking up pieces of dead babies. If I remember right--the birds are going to eat them. Problem solved.

  The version i heard, and sort of depressed me, was that everyone would start off at 30ish and if they weren't up to snuff at anytime, they ran the risk of being wiped off the face of the earth right then and there. If you survived after the 1000 years you'd pretty much be golden.

  I've only just realised how utterly stupid this assertion really is. Only a percentage of birds are actual carnivores. There are a number of fish eaters among the carnivores . . . maybe all the penguins from Antarctica will swim up and give them a hand.
