G'Day rebel, thank you for your thoughtfull reply.
You say " If we are to see God as a loving, forgiving, compassionate being, the God of the WT is not a person I want to know."
Ok, my point regarding this issue and jim's comment, is that as you have mistaken already ( by an association fallacy ), the is a presumably 'TRUE' God, and then there is the WT interpretation of him.
Unless anyone is athiest, we believe a 'True' God does exist, and takes whatever form we believe in, beit loving / forgiving or evil / vindictive etc. The WT presume this 'True' god to be the way they do, which most if not all of us disagree with ( incl myself ).
Now i imply that why should good people like Jim ( and yourself, viz: your above comment ) implicate the 'true' god jehovah with the Wt model of him?
Regarding Jim's opinion, it would mean to me that within the duration of his association within the WT, he has failed to evaluate his own concept of the diety he presumes to worship.
Now that is no ones fault but his own.
And by doing this, he ( and most here that lend themselves to similar dispositions )has regrettably denied himself of the true grace of jehovah, a real charm that one can only feel when one searchs and is receptive to his energy.
Forget knowledge, i am refering to the natural spirit that is avaliable for those that are willing to tap into it. Therein lies any necessary knowledge one may require.
It is harmonious with ones congenital makeup. It is the only thing that is ' true ' in this world.
It disregards reason as much as it supersedes it with enlightenment that is undisputed, which then can mature into many other enchatments.
Also you say " A God that is forever looking for faults, forever keeping a tally of hours, forever watching who is absent from meetings etc - I'm sorry - but I don't want to know. I have many issues going on in my life - God understands them - he doesn't judge me or find fault with me which is what everyone in my KH does. How is being hateful, spiteful and vindictive showing Jehovah's spirit?"
I dont personally know of this god, as you explain him above, short of saying that i know that most in the borg do know him as such. Bloody shame really considering that these ones pride themselves on their knowledge of him, but fall infinitely short in their personal investigation and discovery. For such ones detect only a human myth.
Funny though how you say that " god understands your issues ".
Whom is your god that understands you, if it is not the WT god that you implicate in your discontent ?
