Why are people so offended by this?
by desib77 ini've been doing a lot of thinking and have been leaning toward a new conclusion about god.
i'm thinking that i believe in his existance but think that he does not play an active role in our lives.
he does not cause evil but also does not bless...... what do you think?.

You say that but he doesn't. If that is true then he doesn't save all of us....he doesn't protect all of us and I can't accept that.

Cantleave..
I don't either. That is why I've been openly discussing it with people. I was really kind of surprised at the reactions I've gotten. They were so defensive about it. Even one person that I really didn't expect to be.

Farkel,
Thanks for putting a name to my thoughts... I'm going to research that more.......
Tex,
I agree... to me it seems so much better. It means that he doesn't think I'm better than someone else and to me that makes him a better God. I still have a problem with the whole create and then neglect and allow suffering but it seems better to me to think that he hasn't actually chosen certain people to do better than others.

Everything that happens just happens. He does not cause evil but also does not bless...... What do you think?
Why do you think people are so offended by this idea? I've told several of my non-jw friends and they all get very defensive about it. They say they know they have been "blessed"......... but, they can't say why they have been blessed while some poor innocent child is beaten.
Most of them say that things happen for a reason in our lives. Even if it seems horrible that it will make us stronger. I disagree with that reasoning. I see no reason that a child or anyone for that matter would suffer through some of the awful things they do "for a reason"........
To me, this is kind of a relief. It means to me that he is not picking certain people over others and "blessing" them. To others, this seems like I'm insulting them......why do you think this is?

Witnesses "Policing" People...Is It True?
by CrimsonBleu inmy sister told me once she likes to "police" people, that it was sort of a game she liked to play.
she is true to her word, she does just that.
always seeking the negative, rarely acknowledging positive...anything.. is this common among witnesses?

I need someone to explain...
by desib77 inthis forum seems to have changed quite a bit and i'm kind of confused about the different people that respond to posts.
i need someone to explain what a jw apologist is to me.
is that someone who is not or has never been a jw but doesn't think there is anything wrong with what they do / teach?.

blue....... I hadn't thought of it that way. I t is hard to imagine that after going through an ordeal like that someone could still believe but you're right, I'm sure some do........ guess that is the brainwashing part.
