Depends on HOW you live your life, right?
Let me tie my steering wheel off hard to the left....cause we're getting ready to go round in circles like a stock car race...
HOW? By whose standards? God's? Prove he exists and what those standards are.
we're back to the start/finish line... Lap one down...
"He probably liked those Shasta colas, too."
Hey! Those "sprites" were good!
JW's don't believe ANYONE can be happy unless they are active, baptised JW's.

No laps bro, no need to go there.
If a person leads their life in a way that they don't harm others or allow other to be harmed, most will agree that person is going to be ok in the eyes of a loving and all-knowing God.
Of course if a person doesn't feel they need to follow any "way" and do what they want as long as they are happy, regardless of consequences to themselvs or others, then whatever happens, happens.
I am sure such a person couldn't care less either way.
sounds like permission for hookers and blow to me...
We all have to sleep in the beds we make.
Ah geez.....man created God in HIS image, not the other way around. And so we end up with this entity who thinks and judges and reacts and punishes and threatens us like we do each other.
I actually do think there is some creator out there but he doesnt micromanage things he made except to keep the plates spinning and the planets from colliding with each other. And he just shakes his head and palms his forehead and goes "WTF??" at how incredibly STUPID we are.
It's not as if all athiests or agnostics purposely turn their back against God. It's God who has turned his back to us.
Love your plate-spinning analogy, Wuz!
Wow. I guess, he's so miserable being a JW and part of The Happiest People on Earth™ that he's made it his business to pontificate on the private lives and choices of other people. The only reason he says that is because he sees atheists/agnostics/non-JWs leading a life free of the burdens of being a JW. The only reason he stays a JW is because the WTS has promised him a big fat carrot of Living Forever In Paradise On Earth™. Unfortunately, he has to sit on his hands and Wait On Jehovah™ for all those promises to come true. He has to stifle his desires for a happy life NOW (like atheists/agnostics/non-JWs have NOW) and swallow the pile of $h!t that's served at Jehovah's Table™ before he can enjoy "dessert". BTW, he's probably not too thrilled about having to eat all that $h!t, day-in and day-out, especially when they have the balls to call it a "rich spiritual banquet." Yes, the WTS has mastered the art of turd-polishing, and the art of getting gullible fools to swallow it whole.
Truly happy people know how to mind their own damn business, to live and let live, and to leave whatever Judgement™ awaits the world in the hands of whatever higher power they believe in.

That's how I feel, danielp. I mean seriously, how long is it going to take for him to see what the world has come to and act? I feel like if he's cool with things like the holocaust, and all the other atrocities that have gone on with no intervention from him, why should I be bothered with being overly concerned with whether or not I am pleasing him? I'm just here living a nice normal life not harming anyone. If I could ask him anything it would be why has he been so inactive, esp for those of us who have, or still do strive to live scripturally? What exactly is the point?
Sorry for the rant.
