That in itself was beautiful to behold.

10) Above all, the entire earth united in true worship and speaking the "pure Language."

(Where did you attend your first convention? What year?)

Answer 2

I look forward most to a world where everything is truth. Now the world is full of lies and deception as people follow the ruler of the world Satan (1 John 5:19). This world is full of darkness, and we have the wonderful privilege of being a part of a spiritual paradise that is full of light, but the new system will just be so bright.

Its wonderful to consider how the entire universe will be completely united under the only true God Jehovah. There will be no dissent, there will only be unity. I will be able to feel happy all the time.

Every time I leave my house it hurts my heart to see people struggling with life - you see an old lady hobbling across the road, bent double, or an old man shuffling along with a walking stick, a child being pushed in a wheelchair. I look forward to being able to leave my home knowing that every person I meet is healthy. That old greeting of "how are you today?" I'm sure will become a thing of the past as we find new ways of greeting each other.

No more reading about how the planet is being ruined, destroyed and people sticking their heads in the sand and ignoring the reality of what they have done. Ignoring the fact that man just can't rule the earth successfully (Jeremiah 10:23).

Plus, I apart from welcoming back my dear nan from the grave - I really want to speak to Daniel. Those few chapters he wrote are so full of information, but somehow you know its just the tip of the iceberg - I'm sure he will be a fascinating person to talk to and learn from - he was truly a humble servant of Jehovah.

Answer 3

Lucy44 said "having more than one wife, drinking ice tea is against their religion, and they don't drink any kind of sodas. They believe a woman is suppose to wear skirts and dresses all the time. And if you write with a red pen, they believe it's the devils pen your writing with, because it bleeds. Now, isn't all this so stupid?"

Yes Lucy, that is all so stupid!
Only stupid people would believe such lies.

and seeing such lies against these people makes me think of Jesus' words at Matthew 5:11 "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake."
I guess since JWs are preaching from house to house like Jesus instructed and the Apostles also did, that's why people lie about them.
Matthew 24:14
Luke 4:43
Luke 10:1-3
Acts 5:42
Acts 8:4
Acts 20:20
1 Corinthians 9:16
Romans 10:15
2 Timothy 4:2-5
Matthew 4:23a
Matthew 9:35a
Luke 9:6a
1 Peter 2:21
John 13:15
1 John 2:6
The more of these lies and hatred I read against JWs the more it makes me think that perhaps they *are* the only organization of true worship.

I have been looking deeply into the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses now for more than 10 years. I have also been studying theology, the history of religion and all other "major" belief systems of this world for over 25 years. I have learned that JWs have made many mistakes over the past 120 years. I’m pretty sure they are every bit as imperfect as Jacob, Moses, David, Solomon, Peter and Paul so I’ll bet dollars to donuts they will commit some more human errors before God establishes His “Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven“!
But so far in my search of imperfect human organizations claiming to believe in the God of the Bible, I haven't found any other worldwide organization closer to pure Christian worship.

agape!

Answer 4

There are a lot of things that I look forward to. A lot of them have already been stated; I do look forward to the new scrolls being opened and meeting men and women who lived in Bible times. I also look forward to not having to feel the anxieties of the times that we live in and seeing how blue the sky's supposed to be after all the pollution is gone.

Answer 5

Well, assuming my and appearantly your, beliefs Are correct I look forward to good health, and seeing my Grandmother again. There are other things but often this is what I think of when thinking of life in paradise.

44's answer is wayyyyyyyyy off. Either she made it up, or read it somewhere and believed it, or Heard/Read it and misunderstood whatever she read and somehow got those ideas. I hope it was an honest mistake. If not PLEASE stop making such things up. ANYONE who actually knows us/our beliefs will know, or find out, that it is not true.

Answer 6

I just can't wait to experience the true happiness that is only possible when sin and imperfection are done away with.

And I would love to see my friends and relatives again, healthy and whole.

Imagine getting to meet Moses, Aaron, Noah, Abraham, King David and all the other faithful servants of Jehovah who will be resurrected. I am sure they will be anxious to hear all about how God unfolded the Sacred Secret to mankind.

My mother is very ill, so I want to see her climb as the "young stag" again :0)

It will be such a blessing to wake up healthy and free from the stress and wickedness this system of things subjects all of us to.

And the "no more migraines" is a biggie for me too!

Agape :0)

Answer 7

I know this may sound funny , but each of us has our own dream, right? :) I want to plant flowers like I do now, without having to worry about the wrong kinds of critters getting into them and destroying them. I want to spend a portion of every day I am more perfect, using more and more of my old brain, learning about gardening. Then I want to learn about making cheeses. And about birds. I love to learn new things, and to think I can learn forever, using 100% of my brain instead of just a portion of a portion, that rocks! LOL
I want to smell night air, without all the pollutants. I want to wade in creeks barefooted without worrying about the chemicals in the water. I want to see all the stars Jehovah really did create, without all the lights or bad air, or debri covering up what we can see.
I want to hopefully see my mother again. She never accepted the truth but Jehovah knows her heart, and maybe He will feel that she would be receptive in the New Order. I would love to see her broken, blind, pitiful body gone, with the vibrant, loving, healthy woman she once must have been back to stay.
So many reasons to live for... so may reasons to trust Jehovah!

Answer 8

--Great question to help put us all in a positive mode--WITH all the terrible incidences that are escalating, ---and who knows whats next!

--The resurrection is going to be a marvelous sight, that absolutly nothing will compare to, as to miraculous!
--My mom had a terrible mean streak to her, but I do not know if there was something clinically wrong with her on the mental side, So I have full confidence that Christ will judge matters right.

--On somewhat the same wave length , I have struggled with a chem. imbalance that has kept me in a depressed state for some 55 years
--I have been on good medicine for a long time , they just take the edge off of the hurt!
--The biggest struggle is with post tramatic syndrone of the strangest kind. As an excellent Awake article brought out , one can suffer with that problem over minor matters, that just hang on & on. As if I was in some kind of war!
---I am constantly bombarded with hurts going back to jr. high & high school years--and to the present--and they drain the energy out of me!

--WELL any way it will be marvelous in view of Rev. 21--"the former things have passed away"---with little if any remembrance!

Answer 9

I really like what Revelation 21:3-4 brings out. It says: With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” I look forward to that time when we will be perfect on Earth on the Paradise Earth.

Answer 10

Beautiful question Sister, thanks for asking.
My Wife has Lupus so I look forward to "no resident will say I am sick."
My Wife and Son and I will be able to live as long as Jehovah lives. Also the whole earth will be a paradise filled with people who love Jehovah and his Son Jesus.
We will be able to communicate with all our Brothers and Sisters.
See our dead loved ones again and teach those that didn't know Jehovah all about him.
Satan will be abyssed for 1,000 years and then let loose to be destroyed !!!
