Fear of the New World

WildTurkey

I always had a fear as an active Jw, that I would not like life in the New World that I would not like to be perfect. To never make a mistake, that would mean you would never get to kiss and make up. I would never get to watch a real football game, and porn would be completely out of the question. No more dirty jokes, no more over drinking. Im not a bad person, but I think I would get bored with playing with the lions and tigers, and sitting around playing post Armageddon charades.

WildTurkey,

I know where you are coming from. Yes, it is reminiscent of the older Star Trek series, where Jim Kirk would stumble onto a world where they had achieved 'total perfection' - only to play with the visiting cultures - like Jim Kirk and the others. (Not to mention the 'brianiac' looks of the individuals who only used their brains.)

Of course, if - while still a JW - one verbally questioned this 'total perfection' concept, one would get the all-encompassing "Wait on Jehovah." answer, usually followed by the perpetual grin and the glassy eyed stare.

Nope - not for me, either.

The other side of the coin - rebellion. I remember being told about those that didn't 'fit' into that paradise - and would just 'disappear' if they disagreed with the rules and regulations (well, they weren't called that, but that is what they amount to).

You would be standing around and say, "Where's Jim?" to which someone would reply, "He didn't obey God's laws."

Kinda scary to live in a culture like that - similar to the former Soviet Union, or Nazi Germany.

Regards,

Jim TX

Well WildTurkey, there would always be a need for weaving Wicker Fruit Baskets to keep your sinful little mind busy!

My avatar is a bit of a tribute to the New World! Why does everybody have to have a Chaise longue? And what if you don't like eating grapes all day? In the new system maybe eating tons of grapes won't give you the runs! Why is there always some geek playing a guitar? And only Kingdom Melodies of course, no Drum & Bass or Two Step or Progressive Trance!! No, I never liked the Watchtower's idea of paradise at all!

My thoughts exactly! Throughout my Witness career, I always feared the idea of living in a world where women would be in subjection for eternity. Didn't seem like paradise to me.

I was always attracted to the idea of feeling good and being young again, that was the key. But I agree. I'd want to shoot hoops and keep score. I'd want to put the brakes on an elk and eat him. I'd even enjoy that peak down Sister Bigun's blouse.

I wanted to live forever so bad...but I had this fear that the moment I had a bad thought I would be suddenly wiped off the map. It was kind of a 1984 society. The "Highlander" series seemed a more appealing option for living forever.

I always wondered if there would be any antique shops,which is something I love to spend all day doing.From the pictures in the literature I get the impression I would be in some field all day working my @$$ off for food.I also use to hear some of the sisters talking about whether they would still have their washer and dryer.Wonder what they would do if they found out they were going to have to spend all day down at the "crick" scrubbing their husband's dirty underwear by hand?Has anybody else noticed there are no roads in the lit. pics?

LOL! Hey LB, didn't you know we are all to be 'as angels' in paradise. Which means God will give us all a Holy Spiritual Castration. No more hard-ons for you my man. And what's with all the kids in paradise pictures? Don't they realise with everyone living forvever the world will get full up and we will have to stop having children? (Or perhaps we'll have to colonise other planets?)

As regards the big jugs, just imagine your bad luck if you're stuck with those back breakers for all eternity!
