Let's have a poll : 

 

1- Where do you want to live ?

Ocean or mountain ? Or normal flat country side ?

 

2- What job do you want to learn, do at first?

 

3- What do you want to produce? I mean imagine you have a market/barter/giveaway place, near your local kingdom hall, in Paradise, what do you want to bring here ?

 

4- What hobby do you want to develop? Learn art/music, etc... ?

 

My answers

1- Mountains, or very hilly place :D you know my taste when you see the houses I pick here.

2- Something related to Electricity, like being an electrician, plain and simple. I want to learn about that. I'm not the maths type (I'm a translator) but I'm sure this would be very useful.

3- Bread, cheese and wine (also whisky and beer) :D I'm French, yeah.

4- Piano and violin.

Tough question - so many options...

 

1 - Somewhere very green, mountainside - forest.

2 - Willing to learn anything new but, gardening and food are my areas - I do like to work with wood.

3 - I do a lot of fermenting & work with micro green's so if the great crowd needs a very large batch of sauerkraut or pea shoots, I'm their gal.  LOL

4 - As hobbies go, I would enjoy making rustic furniture with reclaimed wood - pottery making, learning to build wood fired ovens, have a fruit orchard, cheese making, learning about using natural botanical's for healing and, *swimming with penguins.

 

*I may have to rethink living near a forest...

And if you could ***pass along a true french baguette recipe*** I'll start working on that skill RIGHT NOW!!  Seriously, knowing a person in France that makes bread - dreams are made out of this!  I make a lot of bread but I'm not french and I KNOW that makes a difference!

 

Now, if you could work on your Vodka making skills, that would be very much appreciated AND, worth many, many broccoli sprouts. :backflip:

(Deuteronomy 28:3)  “Blessed you will be in the city, and blessed you will be in the field.

Being blessed by Jehovah is not contingent on location, assignment or circumstances.

I don't like Vodka and not really broccoli.

But I'll be working on my beer and whisky skills 👌

I know many sisters with the same idea. That's funny.

1- Where do you want to live ?

I am more concerned about the whether. Where I live it's usually hot and humid. When I'm out in service, I always say, "Only for Jehovah". So I would like nice weather, 70-80 F is perfect. And occasional cloudy weather for a change would be nice.

 

2- What job do you want to learn, do at first? Hmm, I don't know, I just hope I get placed in an area that I can develop some hidden talent and surprise even myself.

 

3- What do you want to produce? I mean imagine you have a market/barter/giveaway place, near your local kingdom hall, in Paradise, what do you want to bring here ? Food, dessert, teas, fruity mix drinks. I'm very organized, so I imagine myself also being involved with the setup and organization of the process of the market.

 

4- What hobby do you want to develop? Learn art/music, etc... ? Pottery

 Normal flat country side with clear water streams surrounded by lots of beautiful flowers, trees and green, green grass.   I'd love to have horses.  I've loved horses since I was a little girl.

So I'm thinking during Armagedon, Jehovah will need to do some reshaping, adding some mountain/hills. WIth streams or rivers of course. Seems like most want this.

 

But what we really want to do is travel the world. One idea we had was to grow or make something that we can barter as we travel. Hopefully trade it for something else to barter further into othe travel. Repeat over and over. 

 

But when we settle down definately mountains / hills / water.

I view myself in Paradise but, sometimes I think that it is a faraway dream. "sometimes" and, other times it scares me because I'm running after it and I can't seem to catch the idea.

 

I've never known any other life but, the one we are in.  So, how do I view paradise?  Hard to fathom.  But, I believe that it will be here someday.

Mountains. I've lived on the Appalachian mountains my entire life.

1- Where do you want to live?

 

A cabin in the forest but also of a house that overlooks the ocean and in winter, I absolutely need snow.  I guess that’s the description of Colorado...

I want a huge house to accommodate all my friends. I want to get up early in the morning to make them coffee, croissants and chocolate-filled pastries.

 

2- What job do you want to learn or do first?

 

First of all I would like to serve in the Resurrection department. I would also like traveling the world to report, to report on the progress of paradise throughout the earth. I want to capture the happiness of b&s, whatever form they give it.

 

3- What do you want to produce? I mean, imagine you have a market/barter/gift place, near your local kingdom hall, in Paradise, what do you want to bring here?

 

I would like to specialize in writing biography of all the brothers and sisters living in my area, an account of their journey, their trials, testimonies of their survival at Armageddon. I would like you to write a biography of each resurrected person in my city. Once finished, the book would be placed in the Hall and everyone can take a look.

 

4- What hobby do you want to develop? Learn art/music, etc.?

 

Music : like almost everybody : piano and violin. Then : Surfing, learning to whisper in the ears of horses, climbing, staying in the desert. I would also like to learn to fly or walk on water.

Enjoyed your ideas of your house and what you will be doing .With your permission I would like to share my two cents idea of my house and what I would be doing .

 

House - Up on the hills , a small tiny house with a addition of a enclosed sun deck for daytime events or a evening event. 

 

Landscape -different flowers to attract birds , butterflies ,dragonflies, ladybugs ,other insects and animals, small gold fish pond, birdbath with fountain , small trees and bushes , area where little birds want to take a dust bath . 

 

Work - whatever Jehovah wants me to do I will do my best.

 

Growing food - peanuts , almonds ,cashews , walnuts , pistachios, sunflower seeds , peacans

 

Hobby - studying Jehovah's creation, learning about our new spiritual family - having a puppet     ( lambchop from the Shari Lewis show ) to entertain little ones that don't have a mom or dad so they can giggle and be happy

 

I like and enjoy a lot of your ideas of what you do in paradise - I wanted , we all wanted to come fast.    Thank you for your time and for your kindness l.    WD-40

I would like a house overlooking a body of water and mountains. It could be coastal or a lake. 
 

2- What job do you want to learn, do at first?

 

I would like land management. It would be cool to help develop a barren land into one that is lush and beautiful. 
 

3- What do you want to produce? I mean imagine you have a market/barter/giveaway place, near your local kingdom hall, in Paradise, what do you want to bring here ?

 

Flowers everywhere. And flax to make linen. 
 

4- What hobby do you want to develop? Learn art/music, etc... ?

 

I would love to come up with all types of colors for dyeing fabrics. 
Also, photography of animal life. 
Also, surfing, swimming with whales.  I’ll visit with Turtle Man and his wife. 
Hiking across the world. 
I could keep going but I’ll stop. 

Jer 29:11-“For I well know the thoughts I am thinking toward you, declares Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not calamity, to give you a future and a hope.”

Psalm 56:3-“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.”
Romans 8:38-”For I am convinced...”
