Sophie G, Your quoting the fate of Lots wife is interesting. According to recent archeological findings and corroberated by carbon dating and genetic testing, Lot's wife was not actually turned into a pillar of Salt. It is now confirmed it was pepper.

Lets pretend the JW's are right for a moment...
by puffthedragon indon't worry, i'm not loosing my mind.
but whether you are christian, agnostic, atheist, thor-worshipper or otherwise, just pretend with me for a moment.. armageddon comes and wipes out wicked people.
there is a resurection and some kind of test and the ones that pass make it into the glorious new world.. how long would it last before a revolt?

Obviously the Almighty will install a microchip that will remove all errant human desires, like lust, greed, selfishness, ambition, fear, pain, curiosity and pride. Sounds like a pretty aweful place to live doesnt it? I think I will pass, as FUBAR as the earth is right now, I prefer it to the JW alternative fantasy Island,,,,,

Now That You're Out Of "The Truth" What Do You Do With All The Extra Time?
by minimus inlife is so short and being a witness is such a waste of valuable time.. now, i do not feel rushed or compelled to be at a meeting or out in field service.
much less stress!.

How about "Live"? Life is so busy, there is not enough of it to go around or do all the things you like to do. The list of things I would like to do is so long, but between work and work and well,,, work you just pick up the small bits of available time here and there. Truth be told, even if I did believe in Witnessism - I wouldnt have time for it like I used to, meetings and field service and yada yada - are you kidding me??? The way I look at it is time is money, and they want my time, which is money to me. They are not getting either asset,,,,,,

Mr Facts, are you on some kind of medication right now? Because your sentences are not very cohesive at all. That does it mean the Goal shouldnt be to amass wealth without real lasting value? What gobbledegook. The value of money and wealth is its own value. The more money you earn, the better position you are in in life. Look at the Society - how much have they amassed?
Money is good, more money is better, rich is great, filthy rich is even better.
And if education is so good, why was it preached and printed not to pursue higher education from the stage of KH and assembly's????
Probably because someone knows that educated people are less likely to follow a cult,,,,

Jam,
But Mr. Fact said we have to have unquestioning faith and loyalty and not to blame the society for our economic conditions,,,, Surely we should have all had sense enough when our parents and elders demanded we quit school early to pioneer and not pursue higher education, to tell them to stick it where the sun doesnt shine,,,
But I guess that would not be loyal huh?

Unquestionable faith and loyalty to a group of old unnamed and unknown and unidentified men residing in a corner suite in Brooklyn. Wow, your just the kind of sucker that makes Cults work,,,,,

You use the word faith - but it actually means stupidity. That is why people like you "want to believe" in the new order - you cant function in real life. Thinking and taking care of yourself is just too much, you need someone else "God" the "Society" the "Elders" to figure it out and tell you what to think. Seriously, why not just crawl in a cave and wait for your deliverance. It's like your buying a house and not supposed to worry about if the foundation is screwed up the roof if faulty, the electrical is outdated, the walls have mold. No go ahead and have faith because someone "told you" it was a good investment.
I dont beleive in giving unquestioned loyalty to anyone or anything - without using my god given intellect. But go ahead and see how that turns out for you.
Let the rest of us normal people live the real life in peace. And quit knocking on my door, it's annoying.
