JW Saturation
by highdose in

i was recalling many jw familes i used to know who would saturate themselves in the borg:.

at home and in the car they would have the kingdom melodies playing or a talk playing in the background.. their kids were given jw themed crossword puzzles to solve.

the pictures on the walls were taken from the wt illistrations.

Another example of extra zealous person:
When a sister is pregnant another sister asks her: "Do you already sing him (not yet born child) Kingdom songs?"

if in the beginning when god (supposedly) created adam & eve, with the prospect of eternal life without sickness etc.

why did he create plants with medicinal values that could treat sickness & ailments?

hope that makes sense.
John Locke

perfect humans could get sick and would need medicines. But if this was the case then in my opinion then man couldn't really be called'perfect'.
Why not? Perfect meens "exactly what is needed for a paticular purpose". The purpose of perfect boby was to maintain life of individual forever. It didn't meen that this body could't be deliberately destroyed. Example of Christ't body shows otherwise. So now, as we know two extreme cases, medcine herbs fit this picture as something inbetween.

Yeah, on the other hand what if a perfect man fell and broke his neck? Was the original man and woman built differently so their injuries would heal instantly, even a severe burn or cut?
Don't think so. Perfect man, Jesus Christ died because of injuries. He had a physical body which llowed all physical/chemichal law. If it looses big amount of blood it cannot function proprly, hence it dies.

Nice question Ice Cream
But why the Eternal Life was supposed to be without sicknesses?
It reminds me the statement that doctors will not be needed in the New World.
Was it supposed to impossible, for example, to break you arm or get hole in you tooth ?
Physical or chemichal processes that lead to the above mentioned results are natural and
and just follow laws of nature. So the question is: did God change law of nature after Adam
sinned? Personally I doubt it. So to my opinion, perfect people could get sick, but with the help of
their perfect immune system and means provided by God on earth (such as different kinds of herbs)
they could successfully recover without dieing.

Like many characters of lost because they are strong individuals and they show real human qualities.
Like Locke for his faith an mistical bond with the island, like Jack for his rationalistic approach and maybe a little bit maximalism, Sawyer for his indipendent thinking :), Crair for brilliant australian accent, simply in love with her. They had many beautiful episodes, I started watchin from the third season, also took a while to watch all the previous seasons, but that was really a pleasure. Personally I liked the episode when Charlie finds empty jar and brought it to Clair of peanut butter and they enjiy it togeter during the hard time. The idea is excelent. Forgot to mention Desmond who attracts just saying this word "brother". Their relationship with Penny is impressive.
Guys what do you think about this sexy character of LOST???
