  I noticed in metatron's thread about bribery the next issue of QFR includes something about taking in knowledge now, which one could understand form the Witness viewpoint, but why forever. If you were perfect could you learn any more? Why would they still need to keep learning about Jehoveh if he had already fixed everything? What more could there be to know without giving the people in Paradise access to the tree of good and evil/tree of knowledge? Just some rambling questions from the Texas Branch..

  Sincerely,

  Don't forget, the society said that there are many thousands of insects that could be studied, so eternal life would never get boring. And service? to Jehover would never end.

  No fair! I posted something sort of rambling and philosophical last night, and it was soundly ignored, to the point where I was embarrassed and erased it, then one of the mods deleted it as it was serving no purpose.

  Now watch this thread go 3 pages.

  It must be the tattoos

  Don't you remember the thing about New Scrolls Being Opened? in the New System??? These are, apparently, going to be even bigger and better than New Light?. And possibly even more important. I mean, they may contain a map to the Garden of Eden? where only the purest weed grows. Don't you want to be there for that, Valis??

  Love, Scully

  Your mistake was posting it last night. We have lives at night. Next time post rambling thoughts during the day, while we're bored at work.

  We jump on stuff like that during the day.

  Scully, you forget. This is the WATCHTOWER we're talking about. There will be no weed, pure or otherwise. They will study insects. Once this is completed the society will preach to them. That's what's in the New Scrolls?!

  They'll still count time too.

  Having a direct relationship w a god would dispense w all this dreary book banging. But, i suppose the wt sees itself as always having a job to do. Silly old coots.

  It's not the tatoos. However, it might have something to do w your facial hair, and the really big ears and nose. I don't know, but sometimes i swear that when i look at your avata, i see a dog. But then, i'm demonised.
