Typically the most bizarre conversations I hear tend to relate to discussions of the New System TM (or is the New World TM now?).
People would make predictions that:
- We’d go back to only riding horses to get around
- We'd all start magically speaking Hebrew
- We’d start colonizing other planets (that’s why Jehovah created them!). Although I’m not sure how you can get to Jupiter on a horse….
- We’d be naked
- My favorite is that we’d all each be entirely self-sufficient—making our own clothes, building our own houses, growing our own food, etc. I always have fun with those people.
“So would you have to cut down the trees to build your house?”
“Yes, of course!”
“How would you make the saw blade or axe? Would you have to mine the ore yourself?”
“Oh, no. Of course not.”
“Then where would you get them?”
“Well there would be people to make stuff like that.”
“And the glass for your windows?”
“That too.”
“And where will you get the fabric and dye for your clothes?”
"Jehovah will make sure there are people to do those types of things."
"Doesn't that sound like a caste system or slavery?"
(You get the idea. I usually finish by reminding them that IMPERFECT humans living in an agrarian society were able to figure out pretty quickly how to grow more food than they needed, which is what allowed others to go off and specialize in other talents, and that I would hope PERFECT humans could do a lot better.)
