Jesus H. Christ, if you receive a resurrection, that would seem to me to be indoctrination enough, teaching folks from days gone by is seemingly, quite truly to me, just plain crazy. Let folks go and live their life. If they get to go for a 2nd round, life in the 1st one should have taught them enough. I'm going out and getting a bottle of Merlot now!
Never ending JWism.....AAAgh!

No, you haven't had too much merlot.
As to your other question, yes, I thought we'd keep doing it but that it would be a lot more fun, what with perfection and all. It was the realization that such a "paradise" would be a living hell that started me on my exit journey.

As if having to teach these newly resurrected ones for another thousand years were not bad enough, we have to go through the second round of watching God kill ANOTHER huge group of people that became you're friends because they JUST DON'T GET IT. JW paradise sounds like hell.

Makes you wonder though if there are some people who like to live the JW control freak life.
About eighteen months ago a FT Pioneer/elders wife came round to visit, or should I say check up on me.
She said, that she and her husband did not know if what they believed was the truth, maybe it is and maybe not but they stuck with it because 'we like the lifestyle.'
It takes all sorts....

We all know of parsons in "Babylon the Great" who do not believe in what they are preaching..
How many JW Elders fit the same description?

Hi Reefton Jack - the reason I find this more surprising of JWS is that most other religions do not require such abject devotion as the WT. They are not expecting their member to attend five meetings a week, spend at least ten hours a month in preaching and go with out all kinds of normal activities.
So, you've got to be really screwed up to put up with that kind of regulatory worship and still not really believe it completely.
