STADD- no shame in that. Well, ok, maybe there is a little shame. But hey! We all did it. ;-) I believed some of this paradise folklore when I was a kid. But as I became a teenager and learned a lot about nature and ecology I quickly realized just how lame this whole concept was.

Did you ever actually believe the JW fantasy version of "Paradise"?
by Darth Fader The Sequel ini am sure this topic has probably been discussed many times before but,......... i would like reassurance that i am not the only one who gagged every time i heard a jw pontificating on their fantasy version of what "paradise" will be like.
particularly when it comes to the animals.
more specifically, that the animals will all become vegetarians.

I would like reassurance that I am not the only one who gagged every time I heard a JW pontificating on their fantasy version of what "Paradise" will be like. Particularly when it comes to the animals. More specifically, that the animals will all become vegetarians. Lions will graze on grass with antelope. Eagles will be using their talons to catch ripe fruit. Sharks will presumably begin eating seaweed and be very careful not to accidentally eat a seaweed crab or water insect in the process. Not only is this an utterly preposterous line of logic, it is totally unnecessary for Jehovah to change every single species on the planet and create an entirely new ecosystem simply to satisfy the moronic assumptions of some idiot JW's who cannot emotionally handle the idea that there are predators and prey in this world and no matter how hard they try to make figurative scriptures out to be literal, this one ain't happening!!
I once had an older elder, having been a "big wig" elder for many decades, after a book study tell me in no uncertain terms that not only will humans live forever in paradise but also Jehovah will make it so that none of the animals will ever die either. I AM NOT KIDDING!!!! He said it. I graciously asked him to reiterate it hoping he had misspoken. He said it again. I began to politely debate him. He got angry.
Another paradise assumption that I have heard several times over the years in Jdub-land: "The angels will prevent us from injuring ourselves in paradise."

Yes, and Oscar winning director, Martin Scorsese was shown a clip of Friday's drama on an airplane by a JW sitting next to him and he said "I wish I could produce and direct movies as good as the WTBT$ does. My movies suck in comparison."

Yes, 3 days long. So far from all the other reports there is nothing momentous announced at the conventions. Just more of the same.

Pixar the production company is jealous of Caleb and Sophia video's
by life is to short inso said the co last night.. apparently a jw was on a flight and just happend to sit next to some big wig from pixar and when the man from pixar heard that he was a jw the pixar man just gushed over what great work that the watchtower has done in producing the caleb video's.
he siad he only wished pixar could do such great work.
the co said we are able to do it because we have free labor and jehovah behind us.. my husband stayed home from the meeting but wanted to tie in by phone and that is what the co said in his talk.. the co also talked about all the changes that have happened in the last ten years and how if some of the friends did not like it they needed and to quote him "they just needed to get over it" these changes are going to happned period.

I concur......... total load of horse feces.
Oh, and Life is to Short, there should not be anyone slamming you for where you are and what you have to do to maintain your marriage, etc. Don't sweat it.

NWT- I never got any of the chocolate bars. The only thing I looked forward to at the old DC's as a kid was for a couple of years the chocolate and vanilla puddings were partially frozen. It was a simple joy in a very spartan environment.

Blondie- excellent find. Thanks. As usual, the double talk and leaving room for super uptight "friends" to control the behavior of others by threatening to be "stumbled". Uggghhhhhhh.......... So sick of that way of thinking.

Jam- if you won the sports car, did you do the right thing and trade it in for a 4 door sedan for pioneering?

If these people are truly enjoying themselves, more power to them. I cannot blame them for trying to have fun. What sets my hairs on fire is that all these planned entertainment events at the international conventions this year are part of a contrived re-branding by WTBT$. Someone has convinced them that this sort of party atmosphere is necessary for the new image even though, had any of us put on a dance party in the parking lot of any convention there would have been executions right after the keynote address on Sunday.
Something stinks to high heaven about all this stuff.
