Living without the hope of paradise

    I have major health issues myself and as I deprogram myself further I'm getting so sick of other JW's telling me that I'll be cured in the paradise, new system is just around the corner etc etc

    Of course I have to nod and look enthusiastic in return but inside I'm screaming with frustration! I have accepted that unless medical science makes major breakthroughs that I will be like this until I die. But there have been many people in history who have made huge contributions to society despite their physical limitations. So I take comfort from that.

    How does anyone else cope with the paradise dogma etc?

    Whether someone believes in God or Darwin, they both believe in an eternal future - an eternity of life, or an eternity of death.

    Individuals in both camps are rapidly speeding towards the truth/error of their personal belief.

    After all, 840 months isn't too long to wait and find out which eternity is waiting for us, is it?

    Why waste those precious few months?
