Growing Old and Dying on the Paradise Earth
by Leolaia in
1. watchtower
2. bible
the standard watchtower teaching about the coming "paradise earth" has, as its most prominent feature, the promise of everlasting life and eternal youth.

this expectation is especially based on such texts as revelation 21:1-4 which declares: "i saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea.

i saw the holy city, and the new jerusalem, coming down from god out of heaven.... here god lives among men.

2. friends
i had an idea that i could build a uk map of everyones location which would show you instantly who is in your area from jwd.. (it might be an idea to do a seperate us one aswell but i'll wait and see if this one takes off first, or if anyone from the us wants to volunteer to do that one).

(and australia but you are all in the same backyard anyway - literally!!!).

anyway, all you have to do is post or email me your username and town and i will draw you on the map above which will change gradually to include everyone!.

All hail Sven Goran Eriksson!
by nicolaou in
1. jw
2. friends
not everyone was happy with a swede at the helm of england's football team.. for followers of english football, defeat is a way of life.

but however hard losing may be, the idea that a foreign coach could turn around england's fortunes was even more depressing.. at least that's how some sports commentators reacted to the appointment of sven goran eriksson to the country's top sporting job.

humiliation enough that a foreign coach has been drafted in to save football's mother country, but that he should be swedish would appear to be a step too far for some.
