If our bodies were really supposed to live forever...
by Zoos ini recently finish obtaining a personal fitness trainer certification.
in that study i learned how the body will move blood to the core in a hypothermia situation, sacrificing the limbs/extremities in order to protect the vital organs.. why would such a survival mechanism need to be built into a body that was designed to live forever in paradise on earth?.

Everyone says that the human body wants to repair itself forever etc etc.
My problem is that we don't have multiple teeth in reserve like a shark! Will your one set of adult teeth last you even 100 years? Have a look at an elderly person's teeth and tell me how worn they are!!
Not talking about bad hygiene, I mean everyday wear and tear.
The only solution is that we will have magic teeth!

How long until the "Generation" gets Revised/Dropped?
by Lemonp inif you don't already know this; the latest revision of the insight book has no mention of the "overlapping generation" bs online library, insight book .
obviously that change will not bee seen by the vast majority of people, so when will this "brighter light" shine through in a wt or assembly talk?
predictions?.

It's funny because all the wrong teachings are interconnected! If the "generation" is wrong... then the time of the end is.... and the coming of the kingdom at 1914 is too??
They cant letup on one without it affecting others

I understand that it has already been revised, i mean I wonder how long until this change is packaged up for the R&F to gobble down?
A small change in the insight book doesn't get through to everyone!

Paradise is going to suck!
by WasOnceBlind inonce you really start thinking about it, the whole paradise idea is kind of depressing.
i remember growing up as kids my sister was the first to tell my parents (admittedly very courageously) that she wasn't sure she wanted to live in paradise, it sounded boring living forever.
i thought she was dumb for thinking that, i mean playing with lions!!!!

I wouldn't mind living forever. I would devote much time to singular pursuits so that I became very very good at certain things as time went on. -

Really? I honestly don't see that type of silly thing happening, and if it did I'm sure an Elder would be bemused at being told about a cookie jar theft!
Be realistic, c'mon

Lets run some numbers...
by Lemonp inafter the bombshell that is the may broadcast asking for cold hard cash, i was thinking about the mathematics of the money that they want.
details are very few, but with help from a few people we could build up a decent guess about cashflow.
we know that 6 buildings recently were sold for 375 million dollars, tax free i assume.

After the bombshell that is the May Broadcast asking for cold hard cash, I was thinking about the mathematics of the money that they want.

We know that 6 buildings recently were sold for 375 Million dollars, tax free I assume. Lett says that "a significant property's" sale would only cover a few weeks of running. So if we ballpark this and say that the single property was worth 50 million (it was "significant" remember).
The 2014 YB reports that almost 200 Million USD was spent on the special pioneers, CO etc. Obviously the latest Brooklyn sale could sustain that work for more than a year!
So my thinking is this: If we can get info from a decent amount of congregations around the world, and calculate a rough average of donations per congregation per month. Times the average by 113,823; the amount of congregations reported in the 2014 YB.
The figure we get from that would be very generous considering many congregations cannot donate as much as ones in 1st world countries, but it would be interesting to see how the figure we get compares to the "significant" sale!

Study: "Therefore, while we do not use the term “rapture” here because of its wrong connotation, the remaining faithful anointed will be gathered together in an instant of time."
Simplified: "We do not use the word “rapture” here to describe this event because of its connection to Christendom’s false teaching. However, the faithful anointed still on earth will be gathered together instantly."
Just DONT say its a Rapture!!
Haha look at your browser tab heading on the page; it says "Will there be a 'Rapture' of the anointed during the Great Tribulation?"
