What the watchtower teaches is anniliation.
When I was a believer this made NO sense to me. Surely if one is brought back in the 'resurrection(tm)' on a 'paradise earth(tm)' then this is cloning not actually being brought back.

Note Perry's warmhearted response to the current situation of starving children and god's lack of doing anything about it:
"The soul is eternal. This life is but a vapor."
.
This answer does a few things for the Christian Fundamentalist :
1. he doesn't have to answer why his god does nothing
2. starving to death now?? get over it!! Remember, you're just vapor (BTW,Perry, excruciating pain to a person starving to death doesn't feel like "vapor")
3. Why do anything about suffering now? It'll all be magically fixed in the 'next life'.
4. He can easily get on with his day and not think about fellow humans that are experiencing unimaginable suffering.
.
While Perry pokes fun at WT, he fails to realize his beliefs are just as untenable....and just as silly from the perspective of someone who believes something else.

Shirley,
Born Again Christians have historically been the most generous people on earth. I personally consider it a duty to try and help others the best I can. When I put together a business model for my current company I am running, I incorporated a significate profit percentage donation for each job to charity. I support a Ukranian charity dedicated to helping orphans. We build additions onto houses so that orphans can be integrated into real homes and not institutionalized by the state-run orphanages. In those facilities, the kids are turned out on their own at age 16, where many if not most are picked up by the sex and drug trades and exported around the world.
My God IS DOING SOMETHING in the world through the people he inhabits. When he returns, dramatic changes will take place sociologically and in nature, directly by him. Until then, Christians do as they have been instructed and leave the rest up to Christ.

Born again Christians are historically what???? That is not a fact. It is drivel. I would suggest animism or wahabi for example or even atheists. None of which can be proven.
Besides your vapor response why does God not treat his servants in different locations fairly? Why does he like letting the pigmented version of his followers suffer so much more? Be it african Asian Indian etc... it's like it tickles his pickle to let those of European descent eat a balanced meal everyday yet he let's others die of malnutrition and disease.
