The Question Of The Day Do You Want Eternal Life? (page 2)

Undecided

If I woke up to 40 mideastern virgins and had to service them all, I would have to live forever to get it done. Well, maybe not if I could find out what Solomon ate for breakfast.

Of course I want eternal life, but I don't know what that really implies. Will life be pleasant, or will routine make life dull. That question can only be answered when I will be a million years old.

Living forever sounds good, but the probability of it being a reality seem far fetched. I think the JWs teach that to keep them obedient to God and to them the GB. I believe that when we die that there is something beyond death, but we have no idea what it is. Perhaps we might come back to earth in the form of another creature or we may go to another planet. I cannot believe that God created a vast universe and it is not inhabited elsewhere. I think that we have a parallel universe or a universe so far away that we don't know anything about yet.

So I do believe that eternal is possible somehow somewhere.

Am I required to join a brainwashing cult to aquire it?

Sure, the JW fantasy of perfect eternal life sounds great. Why not? But I'll settle for waking up painfree every so often

I would love eternal life! There is so much to do and learn.

I would like to be able to decide when I die. 200 years, 2 million, whatever.
But the 80 odd years we get now and popping our clogs at a most inconvenient time just sucks.

Dearest Minimus... may you have peace... and may I say:

Yes, of course. However, NOT in the flesh, as taught by the WTBTS. Why in the WORLD would I want to live forever in a vessel that gives me SO much trouble? True, it seems that Adam's vessel did not give him such trouble, but he was made in God's image; apparently, however, even Eve couldn't perfectly control hers. No, I much prefer the "promise held out" to man... for a "white robe"... on that is INCORRUPTIBLE. That way, I can love everyone... including God, Christ, and my "neighbor"... PERFECTLY... as I wish to do now, but seem unable to do always because sometimes my own selfish biases, whatever they may be and however large or small, tend to get in the way. We all have them, just some not so much as others. I want none, for one thing I have learned since leaving the Borg is that loving whomever I wish, to whatever extent I can... and WANT to... is better than NOT loving even one person due to some hypocritical "law".

Again, I bid you peace.

A slave of Christ,

If it were really the idealic paradise the dubs offered and all my loved also had it, yes, I would love to have eternal life. Who wouldn't?

Do I have a hope for it? Now, thats a different matter. A part of me still hopes it is true, but my douts grow more all the time.

Only when I die may I discover what, if anything, really is there. However, I hold no thoughts of floating off to heaven as mainstrem religion preaches. In many regards, that sounds worse than the JWs offering of paradise.

I wouldn't mind living forever, If I could stay young.

I want to live forever, but not as a sort of 'Stepford Wife' which is how I imagine it as a JW. I don't want to be a robot.

I want to believe in everlasting life and a resurrection because I want to see my little girl again. But I don't know what to believe anymore - like some have mentioned - I am pretty mixed up too
