    Don'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? The history of the bible shows that even humans being blessed by God turn away from him en masse. Perfect, imperfect, even friggin ANGELS that are much closer and instructed directly by God (according to the book of Job) turned away. A whole 1/3 of them!!! Thats an awful lot!

    So my question is, how long before all (or a significant number) of these perfect people in paradise revolt, and disobey what their creator tells them? How long before the whole world became "wicked" again?

    My study conductor said they would get zapped instantly if they disobeyed in the new system.

    My wife thinks that as well.

    If true, there's going to be as much death post new system as there is now.

    I thnk that the JW idea is that those who pass the final test have proven to be the kinds of people who don't disobey. That's not who they are. Also, since all the laws will be perfectly just and all needs will be taken care of, nobody would ever have any reason to sin.

    It is a bit shallow, I agree.

    Revolt? Never! They are Jehovah's PERFECT witnesses(TM). They are all sinless now almost. How much more sinless will they be in paradise with a panda?

    Oh, the very thought! The former things will have passed away. No more 'worldly'(TM) people and things, no more Satan(TM)

    hmmm, so was Lot's wife a forgleam of what will happen in the new system? And if so, does that mean incest will be ok again? So, to make sure I got it right, turning back to see the most awesome fireworks display bad. Getting drunk and nailing your daughter, good.
