is elvis the king or what!
i spent yesterday evening listening to a double elvis album i got yesterday, 25+ tracks per cd!!!
it has alllllllllll the tunes i grew up listening to as lp's, (my mom's lp's i might add) and i gotta say, memories, reminded me of my whole life, what awesome music.. now i know that nobody can compete with elvis, but i thought i would ask for a show of hands all the same.. elvis - king or not king?.
Simon,
That's an awesome tune. One can wonder where music would have gone if Buddy Holly hadn't died. My vote for kings go to the four lads from Liverpool:
The halftime air was sweet perfume,
The sargeants played a marching tune,
We all got up to dance,
But we never got the chance...
supposedly adam was perfect, jesus was perfect; and witnesses hope to be perfect in the new system.
but what does perfection mean.
is it a physical state or is it freedom from sin?
This means that the Adamic Paradise* operated on the "Drone" theory... effectively making the only person who enjoyed "paradise" the deity who created the system
I've always pictured an Adam without the knowledge of good and evil to be more like a well-trained Labrador Retreiver. He would know that to disobey his master is bad without knowing why. I fail to see the perfection in this state.
so much snow this winter, but it reminds me of the silly conversations we would have out in service about conditions in the new system.
this one guy, who thought he knew everything because he had been to bethel and had been pioneering since the 9th grade, was positive that there would be no winter in the new system.
his reasoning was that since the whole earth would be made into a paradise with perfect conditions, there would be no real cold places like russia or even central pennsylvania.
We couldn't have a paradise earth without pond hockey!!

Elsewhere,
Your answer reminds me of the Robin Williams movie "What Dreams may Come". In it everyone's individual heaven is defined by their own mind.
I can also accept Talesin's idea that a personal perfection is being the best you can be be, and probably actual perfection is unattainable; just don't mention that to Olympic judges.
I can't accept being complete as being perfect. When Adam was perfect he was incomplete, he lacked the knowledge of good and evil.

Supposedly Adam was perfect, Jesus was perfect; and witnesses hope to be perfect in the New System. But what does perfection mean. Is it a physical state or is it freedom from sin? Or is there some other meaning that's eluding me?
now, i'm not referring to sesame street, mr. rogers, or any of the educational kids' shows.
i'm talking about the ones for pure entertainment, cartoons and such.
however, i can't really classify this as purely cartoons since some of you might have watched things like hr pufnstuf.. i grew up in the 1980s, when the magic of saturday morning cartoons existed.
Sunday afternoons in the 60's with Wild Kingdom then Walt Disney.
..only a pot noodle will do.. but afterwards, i always feel so... .
thing is, we're really good about about eating healthy stuff.
black pudding, hedgehog baked in mud, steak & kidney pie..but what is it that gets the old taste buds going, then afterwards it leaves your mouth feeling like the bottom of a parrots cage?.
Looks like he washed that down with sheep dip,
our dear eman, .
it was three years ago that you first joined the growing band of posters here.
those were the days, eh?!!
Cheers E-man:
Here's to 3 more years!!
bride of christ files for annulment

ROFLMAO!!!
Navigator i thinks your shorts are too tight! loosen up man.
sometimes when i go visit my mother, she mentions that i was a good kid because i was raised by bible principles.
i was crying for absolutely no reason at all.
around 11:30, i felt completely ill. i went up to my teacher and told him i was going to see the nurse.
Sometimes when I go visit my mother, she mentions that I was a good kid because I was raised by Bible Principles
I feel sorry for your Mom Nos. She doesn't know the bible as much as she thinks she does. When I think about bible principles I think about scumbags like Abraham and Jacob. What principles do we learn from these noble examples:
From Abraham we learn such endearing family values as selling your wifes virtue to save your own ass and willingness to sacrifice your son to an immoral edict from a callous diety.
from Jacob we learn to nothing about brotherly love. Instead we learn rip off your brother when he is at his weakest and deceive your father to further rip-off your brother.
Follow these practices and Jehovah will surely reward you just as he did these two highly principled individuals.
