Paradise is hell

  The whole JW concept of "Paradise on Earth" to me sounds like the story "Mars is Heaven" by Ray Bradbury. It's more of a manifestation that hope springs eternal than anything else, that people will see people who died, that people will live in peace, and that everyone will live in a Thomas Kinkade painting. My witch partner believes that the concept of regeneration will eventually have some sort of future effect on our planet but the concept of a "JW paradise" is so far out of the loop. The minute I find my self in that sort of environment I become a hermit.

  Reading that nightmarish piece of fiction one is struck with the fact that it sounds like it could be real.
  
  What is particularly frightening is in that scenario they would be absolute authorities - because everybody else would be gone. Not like now! Now, they are in subjection to the laws of the land, so they can't carry out capital punishment.
  
  But if they were the absolute authority, what a horror.

  LongHairGal, that is what struck me too. But, I had the fear even before reading the Armageddon Story. I even said that I would rather be dead than in a world run by JWs and the WTS.

  I once asked my wife what would happen if everyone woke up tommorow and turned JW. Remember being a dub doesnt mean you cant sin. Theyre would still be plenty of sinners around. They would all have to leave political positions. No policemen. No firemen. Think of the anarchy that would spread throughout the world. She asked her study person this question. She said Jehovah would never let that happen. So does that mean he doesnt want everyone in the world to know and love him?

  No gringo... the dub will just go into a mental orgasm and postulate inane crap. Like BrownBoy will. Everyone will perfect then. No one will sin. A perfect body will not need to poop or pee. Round and round we go where we stop nobody knows.
