  But why isn't Jesus paying them back now? ; I know, you are going to say the bible says so. ; But honestly, if god is all-knowing and all-good, why let such atrocities continue? ; Why not stop it now? ; The bible has no reasonable answer for that.

  I understand your frustration all to well. You asked why does not Jesus pay them back now? In many ways he is. The main way a person like that would get paid now for his actions is the old reap what you sow princible. What comes around goes around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  But honestly, if god is all-knowing and all-good, why let such atrocities continue?

  With out going into long detail Most people are taught differently on this but God is not ALL KNOWING. Let me rephrase that, There are things that God does not know about unless He invetigates it or because He chooses not to know. Jehovah Will do something about all the atrocities we see in the world today. He promises a PERMENANT end and fix to all wickedness. A world free from rapist, liers, murderers, mean people and so-on. In the mean time we must ENDURE. He gives us help to endure also. He has not left us alone. Hang in there.

  That is exactly what I tried to explain to ;an elder perp who was threatening his adult daughter with DFing if she failed to have a normal relationship with him after he raped her. ; He said it would be evidence she didn't forgive, which is a sin, and evidence she is not respecting his leadership as an elder.

  ................

  Disgusting is all I can say.

  Dragonlady. You have ever right to be disgusted. Only be disgusted at the PERSON commiting that nasty act, not Jehovah. He does not approve of that tpye of conduct. And if what that person wrote about is true Jesus will pay him back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  in the past i visited bethel and got to 'tour' around.

  here men & women worked their asses off every single day - a full 8 & 1/2 hours a day.

  they had to make sure they were up at the crack of dawn to attend the reading of the day text.

  Is it because they volunteer for this???? But even still - suerly there is a minimum wage or salary that they should get that is livable?

  Your right and that is the point! No one puts a gun to there head and make them go. Its volunteer only. Anyway that is in line with scriptures. Jesus said you received free you give free! And again it says that God LOVES a cheerful GIVER. Never forget that!

  I wouldn't want to Hurt anyone....because if I did I would act as "SOME" JW's that I know of.

  Brooke I couldnt agree with you more brooke. You have the proper attitude that is in line with a true Christian. We should never try to intentionally try to hurt some one. The bible says retirn evil with evil to no one. The JWS that you mentioned hurt people by there actions, they wil have to answer to Jesus for it. Vengence is mine says Jehovah, I will repay!

  by RevFrank in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  concerning 1914, for those who are interested, "reasoning from the scriptures," is an excellent read, especially on page 234, heading the last days.

  all should have this book.

  even the witnesses.

  Jesus did say that there is only one REASON for getting a divorce. The society is just following scriptual counsel. Now adays people get divorced for crazy reasons. Most of the time it is because they do not know how to be married. What better advise could you get for the marraige then from the one who instituted the arrangement... Jehovah God!

  Do you miss feeling that "Jehovah" was listening to prayers?

  this is hard to explain, but i will try.

  the other day, my neice was put in the hospital for test , after having two seizures, she is 20 and has never had any medical problems at all.

  i now know, that by doing that it seemed to take the burden of helplessness off of my shoulders.

  Actually if the above is true, she should pray thanking him for the strength to leave in the first place. It's much easier to keep the blinders on. Keep on believing, defd...you're right where you belong, where it's nice and safe and you can put responsibility for your life on others hands

  Wander I am happy right where i am at. In the safety of Jehovahs Organization. I am the one responsible for my life, i do not put it in anyones hands but my own thank you.
