Where will they put them all?

  Back in the seventies we used to happily repeat the info. that "All the people who have ever lived are about the same as the present world population" or something similar,from the "Aid" book? as an explanation for how the resurrection was a practical idea.

  I was reading on-line the other day that new research puts the estimate at 106 Billion!

  The article said this may be plus or minus 10 million in error.

  But lets be conservative and say 100 Million souls will come back,where will they all live? How will they be fed?Could the Earth take it?

  How will the Dubs answer,without miracles from Jehovah? ("Don't worry about that Brother,just make sure you are there" I can here them now)

  love

  They don't know what they are talking about. If no one worries about what happens when we get in, no one is going to know what to do. There is going to be panic, people are not going to be able to figure out what to do (ever had a "brother" that couldn't figure out how to work the sound system?). And, real damage is going to happen when crops fail, buildings are built so sloppy that they do not fit anyone's need, and infrastructure is not planned for. Meanwhile, that Almighty Lowlife Scumbag is going to be turned into escargot once again when He does nothing.

  Reading, research......no good if you are going to make sense of jw teachings!

  I mean, let's do the math.

  # of people left after the flood = ?

  how many years since then = ?

  population growth since then = ?

  Subtotal = ?

  --------------------

  Multiply by .000000000001%, and that's how many people will have the privilege of living forever in Jehovah's Paradise Petting Zoo!

  The other 99.9999999999999% are nonbelievers or weak jws (masturbators, Internet users, smurf owners).

  Plus there will be no deserts and Jehoho will dry up parts of the sea to make room if he has to!

  JW teachings don't make logical sense, EVER.

  So you had all these people living on earth for how long, who died, and you're going to resurrect them AGAIN so they can be tested and DIE a second time?

  I like the thought of living in a petting zoo - cleaning up excrement for eternity, weeding, living by one of a plathora of waterfalls that seem to have spontaneousley sprung up everywhere..

  Give your head a shake.

  I've heard them say several times, and I'm not joking, that in the new system jehovah may begin to use the other planets to accommodate the population after the resurrection. And yes, Wobble they follow that with, " If you really want to know, just make it there and you will find out for yourself". JWs are hilarious and don't even know it.

  I've had the same experience, shopaholic.

  We had a bookstudy where people were talking about travelling to other planets, like Star-Trek.

  Weirdo's.
