    They drink blood which he is against.

    They are a nuisance and would be hell in paradise.

    They just seem to be pests with no beneficial or redeeming characteristics.

    No JW could give you a satisfactory answer to that. I'm curious if anyone here has any plausible explanation.

    There may be no apparant value or need for these creatures, but we are far from understanding all the complex interdependencies of nature. i find mosquitos particularly obnoxious though.

    Maybe Satan created all bad things. Can Satan created things?

    The Bible says "All creation was subjected to futility"

    In some kind of dysfunctional state until it gets corrected

    somehow.?? Whether that means a paradise earth, or a changed

    state of existance ?? I used to have all the answers, then I realized

    I had no answers. I do not retain any belief in Watchtower doctrines.

    Try to imagine you never read a Watchtower or went to a meeting,

    and clear your head and start all over from the beginning, where

    anything is possible. I am no longer in love with the paradise earth

    concept either. But I do retain a strong feeling of the continuance

    of consiousness, in some form and a belief that there is a higher

    more joyful existance possible beyond death.

    I don't have a good answer. "God" doesn't speak to me.

    Just Lois

    Every creature has it's place in the world and god knew what he was doing when he created them **up in the air, vague answers they give you**

    Lets not forget snakes, scorpions and spiders - all have poison to kill their prey.

    A CO told me that perhaps mosquitos attack us humans because we are dying creatures.. Perhaps the Climate will change in the New World, trapping mosquitos in a certain climate zone??? I guess they will just feed off everything except humans?

    A better idea, IMO, is that mosquitos serve the purpose of innoculating Earth's inhabitants. When Aliens invade, they will die from disease before they can conquer our planet. We will live on because we have earned our right to be here thanks to the friendly mosquito's efforts to strengthen our immune system.

    Ok, I just made that up. I have heard worse possible explanations..
