So with the watchtower on Sunday, and the nº3 talk last night - it got me thinking.
Both the watchtower and by default the talk last night spoke about how "christians" view life on earth as transitory, and waiting for their reward in heaven. The tone was "how stupid are they".
Then it hit me - aren't witnesses doing the exact same thing? Life in this system is transitory, we aren't to get too attached to things, but put off education/family/fun things until the "real life" in the paradise comes, then we can do whatever we want. For instance at the district assembly this year, a girl whom i've known since i was a child gets up on the platform with her "experiece". She went to art school, lived away from home and went a bit "wild" - moved here and started to regular pioneer - now she doesn't even paint or do photography, as it would distract her from her pioneering. She can paint all she wants in the new system.
How depressing! The feeling that you have to put EVERYTHING off, until the new system comes.
Glad i'm on the way out - and taking of advantage of the life I have now.
