  I mean, what is there for them to do? They must be just sitting there waiting for Armageddon to happen. Boring!

  I tell you what, I'd much rather be down here having a good time! Oh, unless I was a Witness of course!

  And what about that poor sod who was one of the first ones up there - old Charlie Boy. He must have been dying (sorry) for some company! "Please, Jehovah, please let someone get run over by a bus!"

  Just think - no mobile phones, no DVDs, no computers.

  Boring, boring, boring. Boring x 10 to the power of a million!

  Or is it?

  Any ideas what they get up to?

  Good question, actually. Though I think you'll get some funny replies on this Spanner. I've sometimes wondered what all those "myriads" of angels are doing too. If their not out there orchestrating vaious galactic nebulae, and I don't think they've got that kind of power, then what could they be up to?

  On the other hand, if the Universe is your playground, maybe there is fun to be had.

  Floating about, twanging harps all day, what a bore. Myself, I would rather be doing a bit of the old "forsaking of my own proper dwelling place". What about d rifting down to Earth and grabbing myself some fine ladies? Now, that's a better idea!

  As a child, I had recurring nightmares about living forever in heaven. I would cry and wonder what I was going to do all that time. ( I must have picked something up at sunday school) ? !

  When I first met the witnesses, I must admit that their idea of NOT going to heaven really thrilled me.........That was, of course, before I had the oppertunity of learning just WHO I would be living forever on earth with!.........Soon changed my mind about that too!

  Death and permanent nothingness is the option I'll stick with thank-you.

  What is there to do?

  Homework of course! Think of all the thousands who missed out on all the New Light that was shed after many of them died! All of the books that have been published since they died will need to be read so they can govern with accuracy and in unity. If you put a modern day annointed dub up in heaven with an old timer of the annointed, you would have mass confusion unless they ALL keep abreast with current "Light".

  Yes, many will have to study for their MASTERS before they can effectivly rule and this will take a lot of time for 12th grade graduates and janitors!

  I'm sure they're involved in directing a never to be repeated work that will be finished in the 20th, er 21st Century.

  It must be awful because they can't have sex.They probably look down here at us fleshly beings and wish they had never started partaking of the emblems.

  For those who do believe in heaven, we must realize that it is nothing like here. This really could be another dimension. I would imagine that there would be an infinite amount of things to experience. Also, God wants us to be happy, and I personally will leave it in His hands about what happens.
