Basically I believe man will live forever on earth...in the presence of God. Essentially heaven and earth will be one...as sin is what currently separates man from God. The WT tries to place a physical separation between heaven and earth whereas the difference is spiritual.

How do mainstream Christians interpret the live-forever-on-Earth scriptures
by neverendingjourney inyou know the proof texts we used to "prove" that the "righteous would inherit the earth and reside for forever upon it?
" how do mainstream christians interpret those scriptures?
i gather that the scriptures in isaiah speak metaphorically to the return of the jews to the promised land, but what about psalms 37?

Yep. If I were a CO living in the States, I'd be scared shitless about the whole healthcare thing.....Up here in Canada it doesn't matter as much because everyone who is a Canadian citizen gets their healthcare paid for.........I'd like to see some of the District Overlords get laid off. I've never met one that wasn't an arrogant asshole and who have discouraged higher education even more so than the average CO. Lets see how well they get along in life with no education and no free handouts.
The CO's will not still be provided health insurace? Mu understading was that if reassigned as special pioneers they get health insurance and a monthly stipend (600.00 single/1200.00 married). Is that accurate?

It appears you suffer from myopia. If you do not know what that means it is defined as:
1. Ophthalmology . a condition of the eye in which parallel rays are focused in front of the retina, objects being seen distinctly only when near to the eye; nearsightedness ( opposed to hyperopia ). 2. lack of foresight or discernment; obtuseness. 3. narrow-mindedness; intolerance. It seems to be a case of WT myopia which has clouded your minds eye and given you nearsighted, obtuseness and narrow-mindedness.
Perhaps you need to get out of the kitchen.

The congs pay the CO's expenses incurred during their visit?
This is extra $$ for the CO- if not reimbursed he would have to pay out of his allowance account?
