the watchtower attacks and debunks other religions on a regular basis, often giving us the sense that if the watchtower is wrong, then there cant be a god.

spelling and grammar need to be improved and perhaps it should be toned down a little.

Do you wish SUFFERING on some human beings? Should you?

by BonaFide in

with the recent illness of a gb member who has hurt many people, some have commented that they would like to have him suffer, various ways have been mentioned including having his mind fine, but his body suffering.. we all here have a hatred for child molesters, abusers, those who make others suffer.. and there are many examples in history as well.

hitler, josef mengele, john wayne gacy, and many others.. is it right to want them to suffer for what they have done?

should they be made to undergo the exact same suffering they inflicted on others?.

Hi

I think this is a very interesting question that is probably a lot more complex to answer than most think.

I would have to say, Yes I do wish suffering on some human beings.

Is it right to wish that? I don't know. But I still wish it.

Should they suffer the same hurt and pain? Well that would seem just and fair to me. Probably impractical and most likely not even possible.

Would I carry out the punishment? In some cases, most definitely. In most other cases I would 'chicken' out.

Would carrying out the punishment make me a better person? Probably not.

Many people say they don't judge others. Some even say they leave it to Zeus or whatever they call their god to do the judging.

I do judge people. Whether I'm correct in the judgements I make is a different matter. But I most certainly do judge others and I suspect so does everyone else but are afraid to admit it.

Interesting question.

Thanks
