There are ALWAYS babies, no matter how long God waits, who are going to be killed because their parents are (allegedly) asses - and this is LOVING? Please. God's a freaking sociopathic killer
Berylblue,
First of all, I realize that as ex-jws we've been indoctrinated with certain phobias and views that are not grounded in either reality or common sense. It has taken me many, many years to try and remove some of this stuff, as I suspect is the same with most characters here.
I want to refute some of your views here. But it in no way is a condemnation of you as a person.
The WT has a very carnal view of life and death that is virtually identical to an atheistic worldview in many ways. The WT made us morbidly focus on a God killing 99.9% of the population. This over magnification of a sligthly pre-mature death, hid the actual reality that we all die anyway. It is even comical to me now when I look back at my previous WT. views.
As a side note, the battle of Armageddon is a military campaign and is not waged against the general public. The WT view deceptively puts God in the position of death bringer. However, the reality is that death is assured whether God exists or not. Whether God brings about death sooner than later is of no importance in the overall reality of things. We are subjected to assured destruction because we all have a 100% liklihood of sinning.
The 2nd law of thermodynamics says that all systems tend to degrade over time. If we are to have life indeed, then divine internention is needed. It is our 100% propensity to sin that separates us from him and prevents this divine intervention of our own demise.
In other words, atheists and Jehovah's Witnesses maintain that current momentary life is LIFE INDEED. Further, the extinguishing of that momentary life is DEATH INDEED. The bible maintains just the opposite on both counts.
