  Jehovah’s witnesses believe via Russell..... A God that would use his power to create human beings whom he foreknew and predestinated should be eternally tormented, could neither be wise, just nor loving. His standards would be lower than that of many men....Mankind search for God pg 351

  Hebrews 12: 8 For the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes each one he accepts as his child.

  For reasoning sake, does Russell argument holds here since even those God sees as children and God loves are disciplined or punished?

  Does the discipline or punishment our biological father met out on us a sign or show of lack of love by fathers?

  Jehovah's Witnesses Don't believe in a fiery place, "Hell" where bad people are tormented in the afterlife.

  They believe that bad people will just die and be unconscious forever.
