Quote:Romeo said to Neologist: you say you don't expect to be going to heaven, yet you say you'll meet your parents in the resurrection!
Meet them where exactly? I'd genuinely like to know..
Neologist replied: On earth, of course, where God intended man to live.
Quote:
"The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. (Psalms 115:16)"
Now, let's return to the question you have declined to answer:
Quote:
(In the resurrection) How might it work out? Will you continue to call him a little s%^&t? If your father continues abusive, will he continue in heaven?
Slow down mate, first things first, I'm trying to visualise what your JW "new earth" would be like-
If you meet your parents there, will they look young or old, and will you look young or old to them?
Secondly you seem to think my dad will be there. Are you saying that nasty people are going to be on your "new earth"?
If that's the case I don't think I want to go because I might find Hitler or Saddam living next door to me!
But to answer your question, if my dad is there i'll cross the street to avoid him and keep the peace, but if he runs up to me spoiling for a fight and shouting "have you got a job yet you workshy slob, and are you still wasting your money on silly model aeroplanes?" i'll give him a fight, fair enough?
PS- For the record, I never ever called him names when he was alive, all the verbal abuse came from HIM, so if he runs up to me to say "sorry" i'll probably smile, shake his hand and say "it's okay, just forget it you little ****"..
