Oh, and one last thing--God never said there weren't any other gods. He readily admits that there are many others. He just says that there's only one true God.
Is God Happy?

That's an interesting question. I don't think that I ever thought about it when I was a JW. At that time, God to me was a judgemental figure who was always getting angry about stuff and had no qualms whatsoever about killing anyone who didn't toe the line. I viewed him as a just being who wanted a clean, righteous world and who wanted to reward the favored few who qualified, but also a dangerous person with whom it was all too easy to become disqualified. So, no, I don't think I ever thought of God as being happy.

Seems like I was also admonished to 'fear Jehovah'.
Now, what's to fear about a happy God? ... Like He'll be laughing so hard that He wets his pants? Is that what caused the Flood?

If God did exist, I don't think he does anymore. There has been no communication between God and human for a long time. I have a feeling God has died, and doesn't have anyone to take his place. Things on earth are running on auto-pilot.
Just a thought.

Why is He jealous if there are no other gods?
Presumably because mankind designed their own material Gods and thrust them towards the heavens?
But to answer the thread question - no idea at all. I would be happy as a God until I looked at the earth, then I would get really really pissed off at mankind. Still, not sure though. Who knows?

Jehovah is a jealous god. Jealous people are not happy people, so I would say..... NOT!!!

dh, okay, I'll take the bait, but only this once, as really I am a friendly chap, or so the wardens keep telling me.
god may or may not be happy - it doesn't really concern me. One thing for sure though is that you are one unhappy sadsack.
dh, (Do you know what that signifies in Oz?) Innocent question without implication, but as evidenced by your comments, you obviously meet the criteria.
"If I were god I would kill myself and you". Should you decide to initiate such action, please follow that procedure i.e. kill yourself first, then come looking for me.
"dh. Make up your own punchline dickhead."
To be certain you made a basic error when signing off as the above - it should have read,
dh. Make up your own punchline. Dickhead.
cheeses. Who shows compassion for the uneducated fools parading as dickheads.
