  I'd go with #6. First they rule your life with an iron fist in this system. Then they run things for the next 1,000 years. I've no doubt they'll find some role for themselves after the second judgement. Talk about job security!

  That picture is, if the JW's realized it, an unplanned exposure of their attitude toward the rest of humanity. "False religion's" churches are in flames, the pavement is cracking (earthquakes?), and dubs are celebrating! The text probably says something about "God exacting divine retribution on those who falsified His Word," or something like that; the people look as happy as Santa Claus when he goes on a drunken, homicidal rampage in "Weird Al" Yankovic's "The Night Santa Went Crazy." At first I thought, "Come on! You may be dubs, but you must have some feelings other than glee over the loss of life and property destruction."

  Then I remembered how little time I was a dub and how glibly I believed in His right to do this, and....

  And my thought.........where are all the counselors to help the survivors who now suffer from fears and nightmares over the horrible sights they witnessed.

  I didn't want to see Armageddon - I didn't want to see people die.

  Yes, Aztec, I notice the change. Now all the Powerpuff Girls are here, and look out!

  There was a WT study article in the last few years that showed a picture of a patriarchal society (WTS viewpoint). The women were doing all the work and the men were in the tents thinking deeply.

  My husband always would tease me that he was going out to think in the tents when chores needed to be done.

  1. Playing with lions. (Do you want to??)
  I could handle this.
  
  2. I could live in the best house in the street.....without streets!
  No salt on the roads in winter to rust out my car.
  
  3. No cars
  See above
  
  4. No roads. (That could be a good reason to miss the post-Armageddon meetings!!)
  Maybe that's what paradise is - no meetings. Hell, I've got paradise NOW!
  
  5. Princes.
  These guys would be my biggest problem.
  
  6. Working to clean up a destroyed earth under the control of the Borg is "paradise" ??????
  Gos destroys the earth and I have to clean up his mess??? Yeah, right!!!
  
  7. Who would welcome back the children of so-called "anointed" ones?
  Not me. I can't get to them without a car and roads.
  
  8. An abundance of consumer goods without factories.
  Also, how does distribution of these goods take place without roads?
  
  9. The WTS always show illustrations of houses after Armageddon but never Kingdom Halls. Strange?
  They are not actually individual homes. They are mini-bethels, complete with elders and branch co-ordinator. This helps to keep the rest of us in line.
  
  10. Other (you add your own!)
  With all the animals and people now eating only vegetation, there would be an imbalance of nature, resulting in a great food shortage, people and animals would starve to death, leaving only a few insects to inheirit the earth.

  # 10 , my son would point out that the ladies always had dresses on in every picture of every magazine, Can you imagine trying to clean up the armagedeon mess in a dress?
  

  I too wanted to play with the bengal tigers.

  What is weird is what is absent; a decent explanation of why the earth will not be over-filled with people. They state (I think in the Live Forever book) that we COULD inhabit other planets, and yet the Creation book tells us how unique the earth is and how improbable other planets could sustain life.

  Anyway, never mind that, in a new system where we have managed to ditch pollution, technology, factories, oil wells, etc, how do you plan to blast people off to other planets?

  Has anyone considered the fact that you would eventually need an infinate number of planets?

  And if the answer is you finally bring to an end procreation, why not do that now and forget the other planets? It's just crazy talk.

  ever noticed how everyone is wearing some sort of national dress in those fake-ass paradise pictures? like stupid kaftans, dodgy robes and way out headgear!

  In the new system all men will wear white shirts and blue trousers. Ladies will wear knee-length dresses and have long hair.

  You mean horrible knee-length dresses and BAD hair. I always worried about having to dress like the women in the pictures. I'm just not that conservative and I prefer my hair blow-dried straight with blonde streaks. I would never dress that bad and have bad hair like that. Steve would die without jeans and t-shirts.

  I figured I stake out a T-paper warehouse and make everyone trade with me to get any. Maverick

  8. An abundance of consumer goods without factories.

  Yes, this one always baffled me. We will all have a house full of nice stuff.... but who is going to work in a hot, dirty factory making the washing machines, dryers, air conditioners, furnaces, etc. that every home will need. Not me!
