Dick Gregory was born in 1932 and was a stand-up comedian, writer, and social activist. The story "Shame" is an excerpt from Gregory's autobiography. He writes the following: "Everybody's got a Helene Tucker, a symbol of everything you want." Of course, one's symbol does not have to be a who, but also, a what. My symbol is the worldwide organization of Jehovah's Witnesses (I will also refer to it as God’s Kingdom). To me, the organization represents family, love, and
The worldwide organization of Jehovah's Witnesses represents family. Jehovah's Witnesses follow God's word, for example, when a man and woman are married "they will become one flesh" (New World Translation of The Holy Scriptures Genesis 2:24). This is a good thing because this …show more content…

Unlike other kingdoms and governments, God’s kingdom will prevail indefinitely and satisfy our desire and need for permanent world peace. Humans are imperfect, therefore cannot possibly bring world peace and will never occur so long the leader is human and so is his government (Psalm 146:3). God’s kingdom/government represents a paradise, both figuratively and literally. After the end of this system of things, the whole earth will become a beautiful garden. New lovely homes will be built and gardens will be grown (Isaiah 65:21, 22). There will be peace between humans and animals. Today, people fear animals because they are savage. But once God’s perfect government comes, the wild animals and humans will eat together in peace nor fear one another (Isaiah 11:6-9, 65:25). Our life on earth will be perfect; there will be no sickness, death, or wickedness. The Bible reassures us that “no resident will say: ‘I am sick,’” (Isaiah 33:24). Death will no longer exist (Revelation 21:3, 4). We will live eternal, perfect lives. All wickedness, violence, will disappear (Psalm 37: 10, 11).
