Let's assume that there are about 9,000,000 armageddon survivors (baptised JW's and their children), After just 30 years every survivor will be sexually mature and with increased vigour and health.
Chemical contraception, condoms, I.U.D's etc will all be long gone so any married couple with a normal sex-drive will be producing children at an average rate of about 1 per year.
World Population at the beginning of the 20th century was less than 1.5 billion. Today it is over 6 billion. That's how fast an imperfect, contraception minded, abortion riddled human society breeds in a single century.
Now add into the equation that in the New System the death rate will be ZERO!
Also - it has been estimated that over the past 6000 years 6,000,000,000 have died. If the bulk of these 'righteous and unrighteous' are to be resurrected, then presumably they will start having children too!
I'm no statistician but I would imagine that within just 2 or 3 centuries of the 1000 year New System of things that the Earth would be toiling under the strain of a population many times larger than we see at present, perhaps 20-30 billion?!
I'm not really leading up to a question but I just wondered what any JW's might think of this.

your selection is, of course, one of the best anthems we could have - check my opening post.Another is the following. Read the lyrics carefully.
Paul Weller was writing about the ability of ordinary men and women to change the socio/political structures around them.Aren't we all trying to do something similar?
WALLS COME TUMBLING DOWN
You don't have to take this crap
You don't have to sit back and relax
You can actually try changing itI know we've always been taught to rely
Upon those in authority -
But you never know until you try
How things just might be -
If we came together so stronglyAre you gonna try to make this work
Or spend your days down in the dirt
You see things can change -
YES an' walls can come tumbling down!Governments crack and systems fall
'cause Unity is powerful -
Lights go out - walls come tumbling down!The competition is a colour TV
We're on still pause with the video machine
That keep you slave to the H.P.Until the Unity is threatend by
Those who have and who have not -
Those who are with and those who are without
And dangle jobs like a donkey's carrot -
Until you don't know where you areAre you gonna realize
The class war's real and not mythologized
And like Jericho - You see walls can come tumbling down!Are you gonna be threatend by
The public enemies No. 10 -
Those who play the power game
They take the profits - you take the blame -
When they tell you there's no rise in payAre you gonna try an' make this work
Or spend your days down in the dirt -
You see things CAN change -
YES an' walls can come tumbling down!If you have RealPlayer, click the link for a sample ..... http://mfile.akamai.com/3196/rm/muze.download.akamai.com/2890/us/us_rm/1400/147997_1_07.ram?obj=v10212

This always worked for me. Even when I was 'in' the nagging doubts I tried to ignore were telling me to go my own way.
GO YOUR OWN WAY
Fleetwood MacLoving you
Isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever change things
That I feelIf I could
Maybe I'd give you my world
How can I
When you won't take it from meYou can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own wayTell me why
Everything turned around
Packing up
Shacking up is all you wanna doIf I could
Baby I'd give you my world
Open up
Everything's waiting for youYou can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way -

Time out ....................................
by nicolaou intake a break.... close your eyes.....and go back in time.... before the internet and dvd's.
before semi-automatic machine guns, joyriders and crack .... before sega, ps2 or super nintendo...way back..... i'm talking about hide and seek in the park.
the corner shop, hopscotch, butterscotch, skipping, handstands, football with an old can, bulldog, beano, twinkle and roly poly, hula hoops, jumping in enormous puddles and building dams... when astro wars, 'computer' tennis, pac-man and donkey-kong ruled.... the smell of the sun and fresh cut grass.

Thanks for your comments guys!
It's the sort of 'trip' that could last for ages. What about conkers? Can any of you beat my twentytwo'er?
Who could forget Scooby and Shaggy, Hong Kong Phooey or the Hair Bair Bunch?
Probably best to put this one to rest. What got me started was shelling out £240 for my son's PS2 yesterday. He's got a TV and PC in his room and loads of other stuff my Mum and Dad could never have afforded to give me - but you know what - I looked at my boy and felt sorry for him because he'll never have what me and my brother had!
Yes Joelbear, I think Kids do have fun these days (in-line's, boards, video games etc) it's just different is all.

Oh yeah! What about clackers?! And playing 'knuckles' with a full deck!! Aaaaah, the painful memories come flooding back.

Take a break...
Close your eyes.....and go back in time.... Before the Internet and DVD's. Before semi-automatic machine guns, joyriders and crack .... Before SEGA, PS2 or Super Nintendo...Way back....
I'm talking about Hide and seek in the park. The corner shop, Hopscotch, butterscotch, skipping, handstands, football with an old can, Bulldog, Beano, Twinkle and Roly Poly, Hula Hoops, jumping in enormous puddles and building dams... When Astro Wars, 'Computer' Tennis, Pac-Man and Donkey-Kong ruled...
The smell of the sun and fresh cut grass. Bazooka Joe bubble gum. An ice cream cone on a warm summer night from the van that plays a tune- 99's, screwballs or a cider lolly.
Wait......Watching Saturday Morning cartoons...short commercials, The Double Decker's, Road Runner, He-Man, Captain Caveman, Swap-Shop, Tiswas and Why Don't You. Staying up late for Star Trek or Minder. When around the corner seemed far away, and going into town seemed like going somewhere?
A million mosquito bites, wasp and bee stings. Sticky fingers. Cops and Robbers, Cowboys and Indians. Zorro. Climbing trees and walking to school, no matter what the weather.
Running till you were out of breath. Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt. Jumping on the bed. Pillow fights. Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for the giggles.
Being tired from playing...
The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team. Water balloons were the ultimate weapons. Football cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle...
Eating raw jelly, orange squash, and ice pops.
Remember when...
There were two types of trainers - girls and boys. Dunlop Green Flash and the only time you wore them at school, was for "gym." You knew everyone in your street - and so did your parents! It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.
When nobody owned a pure-bred dog. When 25p was decent pocket money. When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for 10p. When nearly everyone's mum was at home when the kids got there from School. It was magic when dad would "remove" his thumb.
When it was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents. When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed him or use him to carry groceries and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it.
When being sent to the head's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home. Basically, we were in fear for our lives, but it wasn't because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! And some of us are still afraid of them!!!
Remember when.... Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo."
"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest. Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "Monopoly". The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was germs, and the worst thing in your day was having to sit next to one.
It was unbelievable that dodge ball wasn't an Olympic event. Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a catapult. Nobody was prettier than your Mum. Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better.
Taking drugs meant orange-flavoured chewable aspirin. Ice cream was considered a basic food group. Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true.
Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dare". Older siblings were the worst tormentors, but also the fiercest protectors.
.............................................................................If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED!!!!
Pass this on to anyone who may need a break from their "grown up" life...
Go on...I DOUBLE-DARE YA!!!Nic'
