  But, if they truly believed their own doctrine, they should be happy for these people... These people just got a free pass to the other side, while those that Jehovah destroys are destroyed forever.

  You should check out pro-JW websites, or JW Facebook pages.

  After some celebrity dies, there are invariably comments, sometimes lots of comments, about how glad the writer is that [dead celebrity] will be resurrected in paradise, and how much the writer is looking forward to singing / dancing / what have you with [dead celebrity].

  I guess I've been away too long. I do remember the occasional zealot making a comment like that here and there, but it was usually an older person, or one of those that wasn't quite right to begin with. It seems most of us didn't dare utter such nonsense, because, I think, deep down we knew it was wrong to be gleeful over people suffering and dying.

  So does this mean lots of dubs are happy about Tom Petty? They're hoping they can jam with him and the All Star Dub Band in the New System?

  Imagine two non J.W. twins are crossing the street, they are the same in every way. One gets killed when struck by a car, he will be resurrected into a paradise. Five seconds later armageddon starts and God destroys the other twin, he is gone forever. Something is not right with that belief. Getting everlasting life would depend on who stepped into the road first! (Or second)
