What is the justice in condemning humanity for the apparent sin of Eve, transferring the crime of one to another, or the entirety? Where is the justice in exterminating unbelievers (most of whom may simply be unaware of 'the truth')? People seem to value freedom as an implicit good--how is god's rule not authoritarian?

governments get into polictical conflicts.
soldiers are convinced they should be willing to be sent out to die, to protect the governments they represent.(i have nothing against patriotism, it is just a fact...)
the WBTS's theory is you are either a soldier for Jehovah's government, or for satan's government.
die for jehovah or die for satan.
the justice the WBTS claims jehovah set up, is entirely to sanctify jehovah's name, that was "called into question" in the garden of eden. we're asked to be soldiers of jah, to clear his name. isn't that what gangs do? round up their posse out of pride? We are taught to "turn the other cheek"..."walk away when provoked"....now, would this really be following jehovah's example??

how is god's rule not authoritarian?
au·thor·i·tar·i·an:
- Characterized by or favoring absolute obedience to authority, as against individual freedom: an authoritarian regime.
- Of, relating to, or expecting unquestioning obedience.
You can choose not to serve God. Yes there are consequences.
Does god have the right to enforce the consequences? Consider Rev. 4:11 for starters.
