ISIS, plain and simple. If there is a GOD there is no way he
would allow this to occur (beheading of James Foley). A people
that claim to speak for GOD..JW's are bad, but ISIS are at another
level.
We have a guy (Peter Popoff) marketing Miracle spring water to
the most gullible people on the face of the earth and then we
have ISIS.
Don't you think God would say, "OK, enough is enough, if I don't
put a stop to this madness, there will be no one left to believe in ME...
I agree, jw say its about universal sovereignty, do you love me god after I have aloud thousands of years to go by under the world influence of Satan. It just stupid, if I left my kids and then came back 20 years later and they had to endure an abusive stepfather being poor etc, do you really think they would still love me? NOT!
What ISIS has done is just plain horrible. There have always been people on the earth that have acted like this it is nothing new. However, as free-will beings wouldn't a god allow us to act out our free will even if it hurts others?
Crazyguy: Good point, "abusive stepfather".

Modern humans have been killing each other in large numbers for tens of thousands of years. What exactly do you think your god is trying to achieve by her inaction?
Wilmarite: But they are speaking for GOD..People are getting fed
up with, "In the name of GOD". It's not like it was in the past (religious wars).
Folks are not so gullible today. Your God tells you it's ok to behead another man,
for what???
Jam...isis and the executions heinous and horrific as they are, are but a drop in the ocean against the millenia of crimes torture murder and persecution of the human race in the name of whatever god.
Not to even mention natural disasters, mans inhumanity to man, abuse and torture of children.
All supposedly under the watchful sight of an all powerful loving god.
Does he /she/ it exist? Only a deluded fearful mind could possibly think so.
In my humble opinion of course.
Best wishes,
I think humans have been progressing and learning. What was once accepted as normal such as slavery is now thought of as an evil. At one time what ISIS did would have been thought of by many people as an acceptable way to wage war. To most people's credit it is now thought of as a dispicable evil.
Perhaps earth is a schoolroom to learn what works and what doesn't work. We've been slowly progressing through the tens of thousands of years.
Odd....there have been millions of executions and brutal murders over the centuries, and it's just this last one that convinces you?
If you think ISIS is bad, consider what the Romans, the Visigoths, the Vikings, the Assyrians, the [fill in the blank] did....

I don't know what type of school you went to, but in mine the teachers stepped in to stop disruption and facilitated learning so that those of us who wanted to progress could do so.
