obviously jah wouldn't allow for millions of pregnancies in the new system for fear of the same problem today of overpopulation.
so would he throw in sex but not allow for the women to become pregnant?
or would there be just no sex at all?
jiyuu2 - "...once upon a time the Organization used to call 'paradise' the New World Order."
blondie - "Just to be technical, the WTS never called paradise the New World Order. Only "new world" or "new order."
The concept wasn't even unique to the WTS, either: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/205477/2/A-timely-booster-shot-for-JWs

poopsiecakes - "Flipperkins, that's probably one of the best posts ever!"
Got that right.
if you had to guess what point of their teaching.
the governing body wants jws to really, really understand,.
24:45.. the comment highlights that because jesus "did not say that there would be a multitude of slaves scattered throughout the various sects of christendom.
Band on the Run - "The Sistine Chapel had me in tears. Bernini's canopy. Giotto. Raphael. God is present in some sense in that art."
With all of the creative and out-of-the-box thinkers long gone, the WTS has nothing with which to compete.
with the new " overlap generation " theory that the wt society is pushing onto rank and file jehovah's witnesses since last year this article i found really heavy hitting in the jw version of the wt.
the wt society is leaking oil in that confidence is low among jw's in not really buying into the " generation overlap " theory as many younger jw's are exiting the organization.
so what better way to try reeling members back in by giving them an article entitled " do not deceive yourself with false reasoning " !
villabolo - "Maybe the Bitchtower cacaheads will take comfort knowing that they haven't been alone all this time."
Or that they hold the undisupted all-time record for number of failed date-sets.
Seriously, though, the fact that the WTS can't date-set anymore is an increasingly bigger problem.
a federal appeals court in boston ruled monday that a puerto rican law intended to keep neighborhoods safe from crime has been used to interfere in the rights of free speech of jehovah's witnesses.jehovah's witnesses in puerto rico had claimed that laws enacted in 1987 effectively shut down the door to door ministry which the christian group is well known for.
the laws effectively authorized neighborhoods to deny citizens access to public residential streets by erecting walls and gates around them reported digital journal last year.
according to primera hora, the federal court ruled that the law should allow the 318 congregations of jehovah's witnesses in puerto rico to freely express their faith.
With religious extremism being what it is these days, even money says this is gonna get reevaluated.
i have been hearing more people saying this now than ever.
especially those in the over-40 crowd.
i just got off the phone with an older jw family member who was reviewing options for golden years living.
Wasblind, it's called "cognitive dissonance", dude. Don't knock it if you haven't tried it.

miseryloveselders - "The funny thing to me about this disconnect is its an unconscious reaction."
Yeah, not surprising when you think about it.
The whole notion of "religious exclusivity" has gotten so non-PC and cringe-worthy, that two decades of having to pay lip service to the Western idea that "all religions are just different paths to the same place" (EDIT: plus the fact that the antics and shenanigans of violent religious extremists these days has turned anybody with half a brain completely off of fundamentalism) has effectively cemented the idea in the public conciousness; I guess it was only a matter of time before it started to bleed through the cracks of the WTS's hermetic seal; probably another factor in the increasing shrillness of GB2.0's anti-world rhetoric.

BluesBrother - "The flock are getting more mainstream in their thinking, despite what Brooklyn says."
That's interesting; I didn't know that.
Can you spell "D-I-S-C-O-N-N-E-C-T"?

I recently took a similar online test to determine what religion I would best be suited for.
"Jehovah's Witness" came in dead last.
