  If God (Jehovah) truly loved humans

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i`m taking this veiwpoint from a jw/christian observation, and my questions are:.

  if god, jehovah, allah,or whoever else you may like to call him,truly had the worlds " human" interests at heart,why would he only deal with a small minority of humans,over centuries of time ignoring the vast majority of the worlds population.. why would he send a number of prophets over centuries of time,to specifically set matters straight as to how they should worship him,then when it comes down to jesus time ,their are numerous sects,and no real direction from god as to how they should worship him.it`s all left up to faith,which is radically different from the "old testament"veiw.. why didn`t he give instructions /guidance to the rest of mankind,(who would have been in the millions by now)to give them some hope of salvation?

  obviously he didn`t give any thought to them.. 2000 years on from their, the christian gospel is mainly only preached in western civilizations,it is not widely preached in india,pakistan,the uae,mainland china,indonesia,afghanistan,or many other large populated areas.. so my question is.... does god really "love the world so much that he gave his only begotten son" .

  You must remember Smiddy, it is all for God's glory, and the vindication of his name. The world is a stage, and we are just part of the cast.

  Kingdom Melodies

  when i first started attending the kh i remember being shocked by some of the lyrics to the songs.

  i remember there was one we sang said something like "no-one likes us, we don't care" - someone said it was like a millwall supporters song!

  however, cannot remember which song it was, does anyone remember this one?.

  It goes..."Fear not those who kill the body, but cannot destroy the soul.." They've changed that now. Too soul separate from the body sounding..

  disfellowshipping

  by ex-chum in

  typically is there a limit to the number of disfellowships a person can receive before they're "out"?

  i'm specifically referring to my ex, who has a marriage/relationship that results in a babyx2.

  she just mentioned that it was harder to get back into good graces this last time.

  Wish I had the time to put the new versions next to the old versions and check all the changes made. That is amazing.
