  MAN: to blame? GOD: benign and caring? What is the whole truth?

  by Terry in

  2. beliefs

  almost every watchtower publication we've ever seen begins in the garden of eden.. we are told the earth was created for man.

  we are told man was given a paradise and that his disobedience introduced to the world sin and death.

  man ruined the wonderful, gentle and peaceful plan of god.. that is the story we are told.

  I do believe in a pervading intelligence that is responsible for life but why should we assume that it is benign or gentle - or that it has a definite plan.

  What do you gain by believing in a 'pervading intelligence'? What evidence is there for this? Why does some "entity" need to be "responsible" for life, if, as you said,

  reality is just what it is?

  hey, this was your question for me yesterday .

  "if the faithful and discreet slave can -- by their own admission -- make mistakes, and since they are the ones that identified themselves as the fds, isn't it possible that they were mistaken about their identity?".

  i thought about it and this is my reply.

  i am curious, how many of you were lurkers on jwd before joining in the party?

  im not sure if there is anyway to know how many people at any given time are just reading the posts and not posting, versus active members.

  i am going to do a pseudo-scientific analysis based on responses to the following questions:.

I am going to do a pseudo-scientific analysis based on responses to the following questions:

  1) Did you first come to JWD as an active witness, then after reading the posts, started questioning the JWs and joined in the conversations? If so, how long did this process take (from lurker to participant?)

  2) Did you first come to JWD as a non-active, or DFd or faded witness, liked what you were reading and decided to become a poster? If so, how long did the jump from lurker to poster take?

  Excellent post. I have never been able to get a satisfactory answer from a religionist about this logical contradiction. If god has allowed all these horrors to continue unchecked, and if HE is the ultimate creator of EVERYTHING in the universe (that would have to include good and evil....and satan) than he is ultimately responsible for whatever he has created.

  Religionists evade the question by saying "man chose" the path of sin.....NONSENSE!! If god created man, he created us with the ability to sin, and that is not a question of free will. If he gave us free will, he should have been willing and prepared to deal with the possible consequences of giving us free will!!

  Finally, god had a "choice" in the garden of eden.....he could have gotten rid of that pesky little satan right there and then and avoided all the ensuing horrors that were unleashed upon his naive "children" (the human race).....instead, he "took the bet" with satan, and allowed humanity to suffer as a result.

  Would any loving parent allow their children to suffer these horrors? Would you do everything in your power to prevent harm from coming to your children? My guess would be yes. Even the imperfect legal systems set up by mere mortal men have been established to protect children and the innocent.

  Man, is morally superior to god.

  i have just witnessed for myself one of the most hypocritical scenes ever before in my life!

  my sister's ex husband, ( father to 3 boys, 12, 15, 20 years) commited suicide a few days ago.

  he has been a jehova's witness all of his life and and also suffered from bi polar disorder for most of it also, particularly bad in the past 3 years.

  Very sad story, but not unheard of in the WTS. The society encourages JWs to avoid seeking professional mental health professionals and instead rely on "prayer" or talking to the "elders".....these are the real results of this policy.

  Why do YOU trust the bible?

  by gringojj in

  for anyone here who still believes the bible is gods inspired word, why?

  what research have you personally done to verify that all of the contents are true?

  do you know who ultimately assembled the different books to make the bible?

  I would highly recommend Eric Fromm's "Escape from Freedom" or Freuds "Totem and Taboo" as the ultimate arguments against the absurdity of believing in ancient, dead, tribal gods.
