Questions From Readers

Guest 77

OK, we all know the old WT routine of inserting a question from readers at the back of the WT. Here's one for this forum.

I'm going to set the stage for my question.

Jah is a HOLY and an exacting God. He does not tolerate uncleaness/ sin and this was shown in the experience of the first human pair. They were 'ousted' from their perfect home and the ground outside the garden had been cursed due to their 'sin.' Jah did not 'delay' in taking action.

Job 2:1 says, "Afterward it came to be the day when the sons of the true God entered to take their station before Jehovah, and Satan 'also' proceeded to 'enter' right among them to take 'his' station before Jehovah."

According to Publications of the Society, it is undeniably written that Satan was cast out of heaven in 1914.

How is it that Jah did 'not' delay in ousting the first human pair from the garden and yet Jah 'delayed' till 1914 to oust Satan out of heaven? Why did this 'sinful' creature have access to Jehovahs station such a length of time? This, when Jah does not tolerate uncleanness/sin.

Dear Governing Body,

I have a pressing question that I hope you can help me with. What is love?

Your question contemplates transactions in the immediate presence of Diety and thus outside of time and in no location in space; a transcendent experience. I don't think we can relate to such a thing with our time-limited and space-bound minds. Does our concept of TIME actually apply to God?

And IMHO that is the short answer to your question. Um, that is A short answer to your question. I'm sure there must be more.

Dear Governing Body,
I would like to know how you will compensate me for all those wasted years i spent in your crappy, lyin' sack-of-doodoo religion? How much? Also, are you going to make up for the fact that your propaganda influenced my parents to believe that I didn't need an education and took me out of school when i was 9 and then only home-schooled me for two and a half years afterwards, leaving me to educate myself and to pay for my own college education? (Don't worry I won't stick you for my college education expenses.)

Also, are you going to throw me and my fellow ex-JWs a prom because we did what you wanted and stayed away from "worldly associates"? Are you going to educate all those suckers who didn't educate themselves and now have to get by on minimum wage because their dreams of Paradise have been deferred and just plain cancelled because you numbnuts thought it would be cool to say the end was coming and expected them to expend all their free time in field service, be it in freezing weather, rain, hot sun, etc. while you assholes travel around in Oldsmobiles to other KHs in NYC (or whereever you preverts hang out when you're not at Bethel) and sit in your A/C equipped offices pretending that you're recieving "new light" when it's obvious you're flipping coins like the I Ching (yiqing) for inspiration?

To answer Guest 77's question:
God works in mysterious ways....
Actually, i think god is a schizophrenic. In the OT: Angry, pissed off god who loves the jews and hates just about everyone else unless they kissed his ass. In the NT: God is loving and he likes the Gentiles better than the jews.
So, I think the question is more of a "Was God suffering a fool for s&*$s and giggles?" Or was God jealous of Satan, who obviously knew how to have more fun than HE did? Or maybe: The big evil one and the big good one are twins?
Great Scot! I think I getting vertigo and my hair is falling out from thinking too much....must. lay. down.

More possibilities as to why God waited so long to kick out Satan:
1. God and Satan are puppets in a great big movie production and they're following a script written by a pot-smokin' hippie who forgot about all the plot holes in the script.
2. God was hoping he could learn all of mackdaddy Satan's tips on how to get all the hot babes.
3. He was trying to score on Satan's main ho -- the Great Harlot, but he never could, so he gave up.
4. One word: senility
5. The two were dysfunctional lovers and the Big Guy finally gave Lucifer the big heave-ho.
6. Satan finally got a car that was bigger, better than His.
7. Satan finally told him that he didn't do windows anymore.
8. Satan was once Satana, a beautiful Goddess, until her "operation".
9. Satan's "Ho Downs" kept waking the Big Guy up.
10. Farting from satan's corner kept disrupting all of His meetings. Somebody had to go.
11. God beet him at a drinking game. Losers were boot out of the big sky palace.
Any other suggestions?

Guest77,

In the book of (insert scripture here) we find that a year to humans is less than a moment to Jehovha. So that fact that Jehovah waited
over 6,000 years to oust Satan from heaven can be explained several ways. To Jehovah it was only moments before he ousted Satan. Jehovah
also waited so that this privilege could be given to His Son Jesus
Chris in fulfillment of Prophecy.
