Where Is Paradise?
by Honesty inthe wtbts says it is on earth.
however, an examination of the 3 scriptures that mention paradise raises questions as to the validity of the wt's claims.
for instance, at luke 23:43 jesus tells the criminal beside him that he (the criminal) will be with him (jesus) in paradise.

Its not religion at fault, its ambitious men with power in mind that cause conflict! Men are naturally collectors of things and have some dumb inane need to think they are the best at their chosen mojo, regardless of its relevance or importance. They are more likely to get obsessive about it as well! Think beanie baby collectors of some years ago, i bet you the person with the most beanie babies in the world is a loser man, surounded by his vast collection!
Religion is just another thing to get obsessive about! -

Hey welcome, great to see another True Beleiver, of the Real Truth!!
Welcome, Bite me. I'd love to see some big a$$ sea monster crawl out of the Atlantic Ocean and take a bite of Bethel. Preferrably the part where the gov bod and all their henchman reside.
And FHN, it can be arranged, i have powerful friends in Scotland, just say the word! Beacuse The Loch Ness monster exists, it must do, well that crazy biblical stuff about A Great Flood happened, why wouldn't Nessie exist by that rationale!!! -

I grew up a Dub, and my family were very active, but not of the pious variety, we tried to be the good little xtians that we were instructed to be. Do you know how many times we were crucified for going off message regardless of the "crime"? Heaps is all i can say! My sister who is still a Stepford Witness (lol) was dragged infront of JC the other week because she had the nerve to attend my other sisters wedding, by brother in law gave her away! Good on ya paul! The meetings used to bore me rigid, i always wanted to scream at teh monotony and shout "IM MISSING THE A-TEAM FOR THIS CRAP?????" WE DONE THIS LAST WEEK, AND THE WEEK BEFORE THAT ARGGHGGGHGHGHGH!!!!!
Never did, although it would of been kinda kewl! -

Did Noahs Ark drift about aimlessly in the Great Flood?
by EliJah inno where does it mention that noah traveled around the world in his big boat.
in fact, is says that the ark was floating "high above the earth".
also, what does matthew mean about "just like in the days of noah?

a great topic, there was something on the History Channel about this the other week and the countless "expeditions" to Ararat to try and find it!
Now my thoughts...
Now, I call myself a critic maybe a skeptic, but mainly a realist. I see the physical world around me, i read the facts based on cold hard science, and The Great Flood to me just seems to be fables reapeated around the world, hazily connected by dubious sources intent on trying to prove its occurance. When was the last time you saw a real ridgy -didge biblical miracle? Bet you have never seen one. unless it was proved scientifically with physical, made-of-matter facts it is just a myth. At the proported time of the flood the people roaming the earth were simple people, not exactly informed of their physical surroundings and the workings of nature as we do. According to interpretation of the bible, the human species had been around ooh say about 2000 years at that point, so hardly a whisper in human development in real time!
My point is, its all stories by simple people who had a lack of understanding, so open to artistic padding out!
Great Flood? More like the rainy season we get in the Southern Hemsiphere! Noahs Ark was probably a Nature Reserve, created by a latter-day David Attenborough zoo-ologist, who thought the animals need a shelter from the rain. And seen as it takes a kangaroo a few seconds to realise its standing in front of your car when you hit it, its seems highly unlikely that it would have the crazy idea of upping sticks, and hopping to Turkey, on the premise it was getting a free boat ride to salvation!
C'mon people if you beleive whats written in the bible, by men after all, you need your head testing!
Huzzah! -

The world the JW's detest...
by TD inhow many times have jw depictions of paradise shown cozy little gabled, shingled, lapsided, wood frame houses tastefully situated in front of mountain lakes without a hint of technology?
i've lost count.
i've always thought this picture betrays an unbelievable naivete about how technology works.

Yeah i used to crack up at this too, plus the rote answers you usd to get when you questioned it "oh it will all be provided for you" I used to watch the Time Machine film as a child and wonder, We are the Eloi, rasied as cattle, blissfully unaware! Im sure the Morlochs will have their quota's to fill. How naive are people to continue to lap this shit up! Faith, what a wasted pursuit!

Oh yes plenty, depending on what area the ministry was in, you pretty much knew who would be the loons and who wouldn;t be! i always wanted some Mrs Robinson type to invite me in and teach me a thing or two, never happened though, mores the pity! I remember one brother at our hall, funny fella, on the service with him, and we knock on this door, some old chap comes to the door, and Dave (the brother) whips out hos wallet and goes "FBI" The old fella carked himself, i had to walk away because i was laughing so much!! Whata great pair we were!
