for you ex-jehovahs witnesses...and even you current ones...have you ever contemplated your future existence in paradise earth, should you be fortunate enough to end up there?
during those raucous, fun moments at the kingdom hall when you were contemplating eternity and having the times of your lives...did you ever speculate about what life would be like?
for example, would you have to walk everywhere or would you be able to fly around like superman?

Haven't thought it through, have they? Where's the oil wells, refineries, and pipelines - the infrastructure - to deliver the fuel? That will be a really short reconstruction effort.
Evidently™, these vehicles will be fuelled by Holy Spirit™. And if that fails (we know Jehovah™ needs a rest every now and then), they can still take turns pushing each other around in the wheelbarrows.
hi as many of you know i am a born in baptized and in good standing, but mentally out.
when i was a kid it was always you will die soon and terrible pictures of horrid destruction.
then for a number of years not so much.

Thus like the concept of boiling a frog in water increasingly heated gradually
Myth. A frog placed in water that is gradually heated will jump out once the temperature becomes uncomfortable. Unfortunately, most JWs aren't as smart as the hypothetical frogs.

A recent point By Cedars reinforced this when he discussed a new article about the birds being summoned to eat the flesh of those that don't make it through the big A and the scary birds of prey picture not good for kids.
Interesting. A JW left me a 'charming' message a couple of weeks ago saying that "[Jehovah] will feed you to the birds on armageddon". I wonder if that delightful expression of loving concern was inspired by the same image.

1) Sports should not be played on Sunday.
Yes, "should not" is the operative phrase here. Many Mormons do play on the Sabbath and I think even BYU plays.
What kind of numpties think the Sabbath is on Sunday anyway?! (The answer to that question is sun worshippers.) Sabbath = Sabbato = Saturday
5) The Garden of Eden was in Missouri when Adam and Eve was kicked out.
True.
No. Not remotely true. That's just stupid. 'Adam and Eve' are fictitious, and all humans can be traced genetically to Africa and the Middle East.
Mormons really believe this shite? They make JW beliefs seem almost sane. It's always funny when someone comes along to 'defend' their 'entirely rational' religion by stating things that are just as irrational as the 'myths'.

From what I gather, Witnesses will walk.
Silly jgnat. They'll have tractors and bulldozers and wheelbarrows to get around in.

Hmph, propaganda, vicious rumors and dangerous lies.
You know, SfPW, we have something in common: neither of us has read any of those books.
Of course the difference is that I know that means I'm not qualified to comment on their content.
This just leaves you looking stupid.
(I wonder if SfPW even understands that calling something propaganda without actually knowing any of the facts about the content is in itself propaganda.)
a jw friend of mine (who was one of my besties until i told him i didn't believe jw religion anymore) used to live in austria and for a while in the 70's was in the same congregation as losch.
they used to spend some time together in the ministry.
my jw friend tells me that he and losch used to often talk about how they believed the wt was wrong about certain interpretations of the bible, for example, how at the time the wt taught that the mustard tree used by jesus in an illustration represented an evil kingdom, and losch and friend didn't think that was right.
Stand for Pure Worship:
The important thing is that he's not an apostate now. He's a pillar within the Christian congregation.
No, he's just some guy who knew how to manipulate the JW system enough to climb the corporate ladder.
And JWs almost never use the word apostate correctly.

Cold Steel:
I'm hoping that most people here can tell the Mormons from the Morons.
That's a lot to ask in relation to a religion that believes in an 'angel' named Moroni. (The name of the fictional Mormon character is taken from stories about Captain William Kidd, a Scottish pirate, in reference to the capital city of Comoros.)

How will cities be built?
Watch Tower Society illustrations of 'paradise' endorse equipment up to and including bulldozers (evidently™ fuelled by 'clean' energy sources that don't 'ruin the earth'). Can't be sure beyond that.

As far as having one’s own planet? I think galaxy or universe would be more accurate.
This is why we need a facepalm emoticon.
