  What happens after a couple of thousand years of paradise?

  my guess is, god gets bored.. armageddon's over, the earth has been cleansed, only his sycophants have survived.

  all is perfect.

  after a millenium or three god gets bored.

  Sounds a lot like the plot to the film "Megamind"... :)

  i was publicly reproved last year and the elders have taken their sweet time in reinstating my "privileges".

  it's been six months and i can't answer at the meetings or participate in the theocratic ministry school.

  in all honesty- i don't care about the privileges.

  Is there a "dictionary" anywhere on here with a list of these loaded language terms?

  That would be an interesting read.

  from my yahoo answers question here: .

  "the bible says of deborah: "now deborah, a prophetess, the wife of lappidoth, was judging israel at that time.

  5 she used to sit under the palm tree of deborah between ramah and bethel in the hill country of ephraim; and the sons of israel came up to her for judgment.

  So, let me get this right, there's a glimmer of gender equality in a story in the bible (which is a wildly misogynist book overall) and the WTS poo's all over it?

  It constantly amazes me that women seem to be particularly drawn to this religion, it's almost like they like the abuse!

  it has been a while since i've seen a witness, either in person or virtually.

  searching for someone on facebook took me to the profile of a ministerial servant that i know.

  i scrolled through his wall to see who is still around and found this gem:.

  October 2nd, 2014: The World Ends Tomorrow, Taking all Bets!

  by Oubliette in

  on october 2, 1914, charles taze russell, founder of the watchtower, announced that the gentile times have ended!.

  tomorrow will be exactly 100 years since his historic announcment.. to commemorate this centennial occasion, i will gladly take bets in any amount of money that the world will not end tomorrow and that on friday, october 3rd, 2014 gmt, we will still all be here, for better or worse.. any die-hard jws interested in taking the other side of this friendly little wager?

  still hoping the big "a" is coming tomorrow and your loving god, jehovah, is going to commit mass genocide and execute 99.9% of earth's population because they don't follow the dictates the 7 members of the "faithful and discreet slave," aka, the governing body of jehovah's witnesses?.

  Well, the blood was coming up to the window of my car this morning, which is about the height of a bridle on a horse.

  At least I think it was blood. Might have been autumn leaves...

  If the parrot was part of the episode would that mean that parrots would lose their wings? Didn't the snake lose his/her legs in this transaction that changed human history?

  In New Zealand there is a parrot which has lost the ability to fly, called the Kakapo. Maybe that's the parrot that got us in this mess!
