  hey guys,

  while i was at the meeting at the kingdom hall, (oh so fun!.... NOT!) the person giving the sunday talk was talking about paradise and how wonderful it will be.. while trying not to fall asleep it hit me... what happens when the earth fills up with people in paradise? if its all true about not dieing, then will not the world keep filling up until we just have no room left?

  and another thing... he also told us when god tells you to do something, you shouldn't ask why.. you should just do it. But, how can this be true if god doesnt speak directly to people anymore?

  and if it was okay for people to have more than one wife in the bible days and to be in an army, why can't we do these things today?

  write back

  The way it was explained to me many years ago was that when the earth fills up god will turn off the sex drive in all people and there will be no more babies. I'm not sure what they were smoking, huh?

  Guess then the reason for having a union would no longer be procreation.

  Exactly. That is how it was explained to me when I was a child. My mom told me that people wouldn't want to make babies anymore.........

  Funny how even a child can see flaws in the plan.

  My mother told me this one. That Jehovah created the other planets for witnesses.

  God = WT Society. When they tell you to do something, they're speaking for God!!

  and if it was okay for people to have more than one wife in the bible days and to be in an army, why can't we do these things today?

  These were ways for the nation of Israel to establish its territory and rapidly populate it, so as to be a force in the region. Of course, , God's people are all over the earth now rather than confined to just one nation, so they don't need to do these things anymore. The only "army" you need to join is the rapidly-growing army of Kingdom preachers.
