there was a thread started not too long ago about how jws feel what the paradise would entail.

one thing i always wrestled with in my mind is that once the earth would be populated with perfect humans that procreation could cease.

eventually the children would grow up and we would be able to associate with perfect adults.

pittsburg, october 27 - the suit for a separation brought by martha (sic)f. russell against charles taz russell, her husband, popularly known as pastor russell, who has just entered a libel suit against the brooklyn eagle, is remembered here as one of the most sensational court proceedings in the history of allegheny county.

pastor russell's advertising methods had already attracted a good deal of attention to himself, and while many referred to him as "the crank preacher of allegheny," his unusual lectures and effective publicity methods drew good-sized crowds to his bible house on arch street.

this is a topic i wanted to have a discussion about for quite some time but didnt know if anyone at all would be interested.

there is quite a buzz in scientific community in last 10 years about real possibility that our universe is only one of say 10 to the power of 500 universes around all in their separate dimensions.

such a notion is truly mind-boggling when you think of what the implications really are.
