  I don't want the Watchtower's version of paradise.

  by StarTrekAngel in

  i am writing this in the hopes that it may help someone in a debate.

  i personally have not had a chance to discuss it with anyone but that is true for most other topics.

  i think is a good one to analyze.

  Back in 1988, the late Spaulding Gray did a one man show for HBO called "The Terrors of Pleasure".
  
  In his monologue, he describes a visit from the JW's (complete with dramatization!). He gives a perfect "takedown" of the JW description of paradise.
  
  Here is the clip, advanced to 25:10, where it starts:

  ive been for holidays to california and i didn't get in trouble with the law but there is a question i would like to put to our american friends are there other names you use for a lawyer.. here in australia mostly a lawyer is called a solicitor and i herd of a businessman who visited the states.

  he went to an event where there were a lot of lawyers and he called the lawyers solicitors.

  his american friends thought he meant prostitutes.

  If anyone was expecting a William Jennings Bryan explosion on the stand ("I do not think about things I don't think about.") they were disappointed...

  I used to work with a salesman. He could talk in circles and never answer a direct question from anybody. Jackson reminds me exactly of that weasel.

  okay, i know the royal commission hasn't started yet.

  but i'm confident enough that he will be telling some whoppers.

  so i thought i'd be the first to get a thread started for something that will begin... very soon now!.

  'Jehovah is using the Royal commission'??.. Ok, let's work with that.

  what do you think of the following line of reasoning for helping a jw start to think about what they are admitting.. (essentially, the organisations way of handling child abuse has been wrong, harm has been caused, god is now putting it right.).

  reply:.

  "i appreciate your honesty, in admitting that child abuse has not been handled in the right way in the past.

  I have wondered what the GB thinks about when the account of David and Bathsheba rotates around. Here is "God's anointed" participating in adultery, scheming, and murder. And Nathan has to come in and call him out for it. If David had the GB's attitude, Nathan would have been stoned as an Apostate because he spoke out against God's Anointed servant, would have made sure that if anyone else heard the story, they would suffer the same fate.

  "Cards Against Humanity?" You are definitely not participating in upbuilding conversation, sister!
  
  (By the way, spell-check flags "upbuilding" whenever I type it. Must be another bogus JW word...)
