I was thining the "paradise" is just purgatory with palm trees. THe JWs just turned the realm of souls not good enought for heaven and not bad enought for hell into a corona beer commercial. So the paradise would actually be cool. Think of it there in all history has been like maybe 10 million jws. Compared to the billions of people that died before armageddon (in our future btw).
So basically the paradise would be exactly like now except sans devil . Just like one of the posters said. So if you think it out to the place the wts does not want you to go it realy doesnt matter if you are a jw if the JWs are right. So really them being right is better for the world than them being wrong. If you don't count the constant we told you so ribbings.
Who cares if the JWs are right?

If, for the sake of argument , they were right after all - then I guess it would be better to go along with it than face the alternative !
Why should those prigging hypocrites get to enjoy the vine a fig trees when decent folk like us have to die? And if my mother were really to come back then I would like to see her
But It is not going to happen.. I am more sure of that than I am about anything in the world. It is perhaps indicative of the depth of my past faith that every few years I would experience a crisis of doubt and have to study myself back again . But since the penney dropped and I see through opened eyes, I have never had a moment of doubt or uncertainty . IT IS JUST NOT TRUE

I sure don't care if they are right. I would not want to live in their paradise earth. I remember as a teen and a adult thinking to myself about what it would be like in the paradise and praying that it never happend because I would not want to live forever with all these people. And I wouldn't want to give up all the creature comforts of this world. Also I like to eat steak and couldn't become a veggie .

One of the things that attracted me to this religion was their view on this. I hated the thought of my grandparents burning in Hell just because of what they believed. JW believe that EVERYONE will be brought back don't they? Most churches teach a much worse conclusion to life. And I don't know about you but flying around in the clouds for eternity doesn't sound like awhole lot of fun either!

Even if I was 100% certain that the JWs were correct in their beliefs and teachings, I wouldn't abide by them. I'd prefer the lake of fire any day to an eternity on an earth inhabited solely by JWs. Such an existence would truly be "hell on earth."

I'm with Brenda on this one, NL. When I finally got to the point of ending my misery by walking away from the WTS, my mom said the same thing as Brenda's dad did. My words and thoughts were almost the exact repeat of Brenda's. And, close to six years later, I continue to relish every moment I have out of that nightmare organization and nothing could induce me to return. In fact, time has only reinforced my feeling of rightness in my original decision. Finally, as a bible student of mine once said and I agree with 100%: I don't do hypocrite.

Oh man, I cant believe this site exists.....I cant believe some of the things people say. LOL
Okay....I think You ALL should have been mormons......apparently the bible is way too deep for alot of people...oh well chop them crappy trees down I say. Its too bad that satan killed all of you, damn our free will.
If there wrong.....IF there STILL wrong about CERTAIN THINGS, why cant anyone prove that.....its always there wrong...I know it......yup whatever prove it, show how, do something. Oh AND TRY NOT TO ACT LIKE THERE PERFECT. Elders have been known to be dfed, once even a member of the governing body I believe.
I wish I could be an elder one day and have the responsibility of keeping jehovahs organization free of cowards. After all cowards are listed among those destroyed at armagedon. And i mean do you think Jehovah is a wimp? You think he of all people would actually allow some punny little stupid imperfect human to tell him off....damn he so nice hes actually letting you live....For now.
People dont want to live in paradise with jws....so ill admit that I believe in a paradise then ill dismiss it because im too stupid to realize that im imperfect and could never ever ever picture what paradise might actually be...jws try to make a nice picture with people and smiles but really they dont know exactly what it will be, but they have an idea.
If you cant read, you cant talk, then ur useless....life sucks and reality is harsh, get over it and go back to a meeting where u know noone and start freash.....the point that this site exists and that you people actually use it alot shows that you all know its the truth...you just have problems admiting that. You should have taken it more serious when you got baptised. That shit aint a joke

Joy arises among the angels of God over one sinner that repents." Acts 10:15 Those who have drifted away and lost contact with God's people remain precious in Jehovah's eyes. Jeremiah 31:3 says: " From far away Jehovah himself appeared to me, (saying) " And with a love to time indefinite I have loved you. That is why I have drawn you with loving kindness." Such individuals may be spiritually weak, yet they are not necessarily rebellious. despite their weakened state, to some extent they may still be keeping Jehovah's requirements. Psalm 119:176 says: " I have wandered like a lost sheep. O look for your servant. For I have not forgotten your own commandments." Acts 15:29 says: " " to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication. If you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper. Good health to you!" Hence, as in times past, Jehovah is slow to " cast them away from before his face." 2 Kings 13:23 We too are deeply concerned about those who are weak and missing from the Christian congregation. Ezekiel 34:16 says: " The lost one I shall search for, and the dispersed one I shall bring back, and the broken one I shall bandage and the ailing one I shall strengthen, but the fat one and the strong one I shall annihilate. I shall feed that one with judgement." We view a spiritually weak individual as a lost sheep ---- not a lost cause. We do not reason " why worry about a weak one? The congregation is getting along just fine without him." Rather, like Jehovah, we view those who have drifted away but who want to return as being valuable. Funny stuff dont you think Why am i here? 1) well im not baptised, so i can be here, and say whatever I want. 2) I was looking for the official site when I stumbled on this one. I cant believe there are so many disfellowed ship...you guys follow the witnesses cursing about them, prying into there business. Not ONE of you has a reason to be angry at them.....you should be pissed with yourselfs.
