i hate these book lists they are so pretentious, everyone's perception of a "good read" is different, and quite frankly there are a number of books on that list i would not wish to read. I think pe...

good points...i finally made it up to luke. can i take credit for reading 41 books (gen thru mark)?

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

i think a better question is, if you place a bible, does it count as 66 books?

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

hahhaa! good thought dan...see, i'm not the only one with random/weird thoughts. such as my thought about if some people in the new system will be the same age forever...ie: some will be 4 years old forver..ect....i brought this up at sal's yesterday...i was taunted for a while.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

hahahha i'm imagining all the little brats in my hall being 2 forever...argh...i would go nuts...

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Same age forever..isn't it just young and healthy forever?

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

see, in paradise pictures they always have people of all ages...if everyone looks like there 20 forever we wouldnt have little kids...so *I* think some kids will never grow up...but i was told that sounded really cruel and unusual.

hahaha, so weird. even though early humans lived to be 800 years old, that doesn't mean they were physically stuck at 4 their whole lives. there will be children in the new system, but they will grow up just like they do now until they're mature. i thought this was obvious

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Yes but she does make a good point cause if people just stop aging at a certain point it will be like a bunch of 30 year olds and under. Kinda freaky but i'm sure it'll work out perfectly.

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

yea, but i'm saying once all the kids grow up...and all the kids that have died are resurrected and THEY grow up...people cant just keep on having babies...the earth would be swarming, reproduction has to stop eventually.

iwz iwz

well, women do have a limited amount of eggs. and there is an entire universe that Jehovah created for some reason.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

see, i don't think thats' fair. if reproduction has to stop eventually (which i agree with) then some people who have waited their whole lives to have kids and then died serving as missionaries might not get to have kids in the new system

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

well i dont think it would stop until everyone was resurrected and the earth would have to be "filled" i think it'd take a while so everyone who wanted kids probly would have the chance to...but no matter what, it's not like anyone is going ot be unhappy or complaining..because if they are...ZAP! haha

i wonder what'll happen when your loved ones come back who will be younger than you...my dad when he was 31. i'm now 33...and the longer the system goes on...*brain freeze!!!*

iwz iwz

yeah, that's a really interesting thought. i've thought about it before...

i think that maybe once the majority of humanity reaches their peak of maturity, in the overall scheme of time, they'll all be essentially the same age. it will certainly give us an interesting new perspective on our close relatives (or distant ancestors for that matter)

i think of how little life people get to experience in their limited amount of years on the earth. it makes total sense how in the bible when people lived for hundreds of years they would be like 100 when they got married and started having kids. we have to get married too young or we'll be dead

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

i keep thinking how isaac was 30

Do you really think that much about it that you had to repeat yourself?

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

i guess he was quite an entrepreneurister

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

sorry, ian...i'll ALWAYS be older than you. even when i'm 2.56789 x 10890823 and you're 2.56778 x 10890823, i'll still be older!
