Be careful what you say God is and what He wants; you may be saying more about yourself than you realize.
It may well be our personal taste in religion is revelatory of our basic character.
_____
Look at the devout Islamist whose worship consists of blowing people up or cutting off heads.
Contrast that to those Hindi who sit with legs folded in their own lap contemplating bliss.
Now contrast both the above to somebody who believes service to God is visiting the sick in hospitals.
_____
Instead of there being 3 different Gods served--there might only be an extraordinary unveiling of each person's heart and mind!
_____
Do we not have the power of choice to serve humanity with kindness EVEN IF some religious leader tells us God is vengeful?
In other words: CAN WE BE BETTER THAN THE GOD WE SERVE?

Jehovah's Witnesses believe in a god who solves problems by destroying billions of non-Witnesses!
What if your kind of "God" would never do that?
Are you better than Jehovah? I say, "Yes."
____________________________
Think how superior JW's feel when they encounter folks who believe in a god who burns people in Hell!
They smugly explain how Jehovah is a God of Love and how a parent would never punish their child by
sticking their hands in the fire for discipline.
What if we believed in something superior to Jehovah?
The power of mere human beings to repair the world through acts of kindness, volunteerism, charity and education--I say--
is vastly superior to the JW's Jehovah's way!
STOP AND THINK ABOUT IT.

Jehovah demands JW's spend time taking dreary-worded magazines door to door.
But, what about people who take meals to the hungry, the aging, the sick and the dying?
JW reading material (food at the proper time) is stale from start to finish,
while a true benevolence in feeding a hungry person genuine meals is far more loving.

(James 1:27) "The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is this:
to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep oneself with out spot from the world.

Working at charity is far from an approved activity among Witnesses. This raises the question: aren't those
who do visit widows and orphans, who feed the sick, who work at hospice for the dying--aren't they
SUPERIOR to Jehovah's Witnesses in every way?
________________________________
I say this: the new rebuttal we owe Jehovah's Witnesses should consist of the following:
"I SERVE A MUCH NICER GOD THAN JEHOVAH because I am free to be loving and kind to everybody
instead of practicing empty words, shunning those who disagree, hiding pedophiles,
clinging to False Prophets, and condemning the entire planet to holocaust in order to gain a paradise founded
upon the death of billions."
YOU GET THE GOD YOU DESERVE!
THE GOD YOU WORSHIP REVEALS WHAT HIDES IN YOUR HEART.
