    The incredible thing will be having people like the JWs around in a paradise, but I think they got their overall concept of it wrong there will be new bodies that will not need food to survive.

    The paradise story never really made sense to me either. I didn't understand how you could not remember the past but still have a family? I mean how would you know that Sister Anne is really your aunt, and If you became widowed and remarried then whom would be your spouse upon resurrection? Further more, if my memory serves me right, the bible only makes one reference to the word paradise and not in a literal context.I believe the society has high-jacked that word in order to pursue it's own agenda.

    m wondering if folks will have to get their meals with meal tickets and all there will be to eat is foil-wrapped burritos and Muff'n'eggs.

    LMFAO

    I'm wondering if they'll change the name of chocolate pudding to Paradise Pudding

    With time homes will have to be rebuilt. In the original Garden of Eden, the animals did die. When Jehovah told Adam he would die if he ate of the fruit, Adam knew what "die" meant.

    If we build our homes out of wood they will eventually breakdown. There are homes built in many communities around the globe that are 100 to 150 years old but they just might look it. They need constant work. Just because we will be perfect doesnt mean that trees or the lumber that we cut from them will be indestructable. If family members leave to live in their own home we will have opportunity to build a smaller home to suit our needs.

    Hope this helps.

    But this is supposed to be paradise and perfect. How can homes need to be rebuilt in a perfect world? That would mean they would deteriorate. So whos idea of paradise is living in a house that is getting old? Do you build a new one when the first problem arises? Or do you deal with the problems and make the best of it? And who is going to have to build the house? I wouldnt want to have to do any labor in paradise.

    Have you ever seen a rock that was sitting below a waterfall or one that has sat for years just receiving a constant drip, drip, drip, of water? Even water can breakdown something as hard as a rock. It's called errosion. We have a Rock Tumbler that speeds up the process. Makes rough stones come out smooth and shiny. Just because we will be living in paradise doesn't mean that the physics of the earth will be changed. Wood will still break down, Iron rusts. When that happens we will need to fix or replace. You asked when to rebuild the house. The answer is when you want to. You'll have the time. You also said that you don't want to do any labor in paradise. Well, even lying in a hammock sipping a iced tea will become boring after a few hundred years. Building something with your own two hands will be good for you. Feelings of accomplishment and such.

    But the physics will have to change if we are to be here for eternity. Do you realize that the erosion of the land where it meets the sea is so much that you can see it from space photos in the past 30 years. At this rate i suppose in a few million years at best there will be very little land left. What about the ozone layer? And supposedly there will be no more nighttime. This would mean that the earth would have to stop spinning on its axis. This is a change in physics for sure.

    Will they have Shasta in paradise?

    If there were cans of Shasta there......then you ended up in the "other" place, LOL!

    In the "spiritual paradise" at a DC in 1973 (Pittsburg PA) they ran out of food halfway through the assembly! All we had for every meal-----was Shasta and Cheese Danish! Everything else was gone!

    We were like the murmurers and complainers......fussing about the manna! It was blistering hot that week and we had to sit in the sun (Three Rivers Stadium), most of the time waaaay up in the top rows where due to the extreme heat, I kept seeing mountain goats staring at us! My nose resembled a potato chip due to the repeated sunburn. Lovely.

    What a horrible way to spend those summer days!!!!

    Annie............who will not buy Shasta even if it were the only drink left on earth.....
