Hi Rick,

: No matter what you have been told, the return of everyone who has ever existed to life is an event that is 100% certain.

So you've finally read Volume I of the Millenial Dawn series. Now, just how do you reconcile this new belief of yours with what the JWs teach?

: [the Bible] says that death is an illusion

> Ecc 9:4-6 For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

For as gloomy as the Congregator's words appear, they are nonetheless quite true. I cannot fathom what living forever would be, unless it is some state of spiritual stupor or trance. Work, love, accomplishment, any endeavor whatsoever would become entirely meaningless with eternity in view. I'd eventually have to kill myself from feelings of emptiness and worthlessness. Why cherish anything at all when you can eventually attain everything possible?
