An unfair test...

  According to the holy WT, Satan and his demons influence humans to do bad things. As a result of the bad things that Satan makes us do, we are going to be judged. Is that really fair?

  If I were to be taking a test in school and while I was taking that test, trying to concentrate, someone was screaming in my face the whole time I took the test, do you think the person who was giving the test would fault you for doing poorly? Thats why the test Jehovah provided us is an unfair one. Theres an outside influence. How can we be blamed? Wouldn't it make sense for the influencing force to be removed before being given the test? Shouldnt God get rid of Satanic unfluence, and THEN test us? I deem this test unfair and all results null.

  Also,..................how can it be claimed that human rulership has failed, when it has always been subjected to demonic influence, especially after 1914 when Satan and his demons were cast down to the vicinity of the earth. WHY HERE? Didn't that just lower the odds of mankind having any success at all? Was mankind destined to fail from the very get-go?

  It's a bit confusing but there's a great illustration in the Bible Teach book that explains why things have to be the way they are.

  Yahweh is like a teacher. And satan is like a student who challenged that teachers knowledge.

  The teachere could just make the student sit down, but then all the other students might wonder if he was actually right!

  So the only just solution is to lock all the spectators in a room with the rebellious student, give him a machine gun and let him torture all the other students until class is over.

  Wait that was the wrong illustration.

  Crap how does it go again?

  omygod Mr. McFreeze! Have you no faith?? Don't you know holy spirit is the antecdote? And what that means Lore is that the students locked up with the satan have BIGGER machine guns! Sheesh, it's like you never once listened in the kingdom hall! You were probably staring down some sister's blouse!

  Good point MrFreeze.

  Unfortunately, the test master is an all powerful allknowing, always right god who plans to kill off 7 billion people,

  (even more with the growing world population, if he doesnt hurry up).

  I dont think he'll listen to your arguement.

  Be thankful that jehovah does not exist, him and justice are not bed-fellows.

  About the seeming failure of secular leadership, my hubby says, "Yeah, but can they give eternal life?"

  "Of course not," I retort, "But I trust them more than the local elders to fill in our pot-holes."
