What constitutes a wicked person?

SuperSpook

Do you agree with the Bible's definition of wickedness?

What! Do you not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men, nor thieves, nor greedy persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit God’s kingdom. And yet that is what some of you were. But you have been washed clean, but you have been sanctified, but you have been declared righteous in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Turn away from what is bad and do what is good, And so reside to time indefinite. For Jehovah is a lover of justice, And he will not leave his loyal ones. To time indefinite they will certainly be guarded; But as for the offspring of the wicked ones, they will indeed be cut off. The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it. Psalm 37:27-29

According to the WTS, anyone who disobeys their instructions by frequenting this website and adding comments to apostate blogs - would constitute a wicked person, Alice.

No. Wickedness is a very strong term. An alcoholic I would consider to have an addiction, but I would not consider him "wicked". I do not see gays or lesbians as being wicked as they have done no harm and are in consenting adult relationships. The same goes for fornication, two consenting adults have commited no crime for using their bodies for pleasure, or engaging in a psychological bond expressed physically outside of a legal union. Greed while I would consider it a vice, I would not consider it wicked. The acts committed that are fueled by greed could make some one so corrupt as to be deemed "wicked", however greed in and of itself is not horrible enough to be termed "wickedness". Idolatry is just silly, not wicked. The only things in that list I could possibly list as wicked would be Adultery (and even that would be conditional, and not absolute) and possibly extortion (while also not a good act, it can only in certain circumstances reach the status of "wicked".)

Going around killing off alcholics and gays however, I would consider to be extremely wicked. It would take a truly punitive and cruel mind to justify that.

The only evil is irrational thinking.

Thinking is man's only basic virtue.

A good life well lived is the greatest of all values.

NOT thinking rationally is the basic Vice of humanity.

Irrational thinking is the source of all perceived evils.

Willfulling suspending consciousness, blanking out, refusal to think, refusal to see and the refusal to know are EVIL INCARNATE.

Unfocusing the mind leads to superstition, fear, prejudice, ritual and pointing to some "other" as the source.

The willfull act of refusing to think, to abandon responsibility for your own life reduces you to any needy, demanding false authority.

The final Evil is refusal to acknowledge that what is real IS real in the hope that avoiding reality makes it go away.
