What Did you Plan On Doing In The New System?

Every child and Bible student was told about how wonderful the "new system" was going to be. "And what animal do you want to have in the new system?"......That was a very typical question. "What type of work would you like to do in the paradise?"......"Did you know that you are going to be a gardener and a house builder, too?".......I remember service meeting parts directed to hearing little kids tell us all their fantasies in the "new system". What was yours?

That was my first snag with the teachings...I knew, from experience as a kid in a very strict home, that I was bound to mess up at some point, and that perfection just didn't allow for that...I guess I would walk on eggshells until I did/said/thought something that would end it all. "Ooops, Badger didn't listen,

Hey! You guys can't loaf around all your lives drinking beer and having continuous sex.

Living happily ever after.

Would have been nice.

"Drinking beer and having continuous sex" would be nice too!

Part of the problem is, when you ask yourself, what would your life be like if it were just the way you want it, you may start out with non-stop sex and beer, but you recognize that if that were actually your life you'd be unhappy pretty soon (even 50 years is pretty soon if you're going to live forever!) and most of us get happiness from solving problems and helping other people (which means, of course, that other people need help). The JW paradise includes doing work apparently which, I guess, is recognizing that people need something to do. But what kind of paradise requires work? Isn't everything supposed to be perfect? What kind of work did Adam and Eve do?

I had the dream of having my own spaceship, and it would be so cool it would have separate toilets for men and women!!

How cool is that? Much better than endless beer and sex.......(well ok, maybe not the beer....)
