Welcome David, From the reply sent by the WTS I have to conclude the GB no longer is willing to "WAIT ON JEHOVAH" but instead id looking to the UN for help.

Why God refuses to interfere
by greendawn inmany people ask why doesn't god interefere to help suffering mankind?
biblically the answer is very simple: mankind exercise their freedom of choice and in so doing chose to be slaves to sin or the demons if you like.
god respects that choice however foolish it may be.

Kate, God has been good to me too, BUT that doesn't change the atrosities that happen to innocent people everywhere. I am not thinking of myself, only the innocent who don't deserve the suffering they go through.
From the scripture you posted....God has declared us all evil with some good in us. That is how he thinks of us?

Hi startingover, I ask my JW pioneer friend the same questions I put on this thread and got nearly the same answers as the ones on this thread....I am no longer a JW by choice....I left after I found out about the Malawi/Mexico fiasco. That was the one that broke the camel's back for me. I came to the conclusion that the WTS/GB can not be lead by God's Holy Spirit and allow people to suffer because of a 25 cent Government ID card.

I could go on but you get the gist of it and it has all been said before. The point is people will never find satisfactory answers to the question posed by this thread until they realize that they are looking for God in all the wrong places.
I suppose I am not looking for an answer, but take the occasion to express my thoughts.
However, the reply's are well thought out and I thank each one for their post.

JWs give him way too much power. Watch the show "The Human Behavior Experiment" I believe it is on Court TV. They go in depth on studies that have been done, research experiments, and is very revealing. We can think that we are great people and all, but when push comes to shove we are all capable of evil. Sin lives inside us all.
When push comes to shove, yes we do have sin within our self, inherited from our first parents....BUT wouldn't it have been interesting to find that we don't need Satan to complicate our sins with evil. Like Hitler and evil people from ancient times, OR in our day people who love to torture and kill for the fun of it. I don't think the human race is inherently evil, just sinful. Evil comes from Satan. IMHO

Kate, I know what you are trying to say. but why did God let Satan loose on the human race in general? Would the world be so BAD or EVIL with Satan dead or gone. Most of us want peace and try to live a good life and help our fellows who are less forunate AND that is WITH Satan as the God of this world. Would Nimrod have turned against God if it had not been for Satan? As I said: I feel we are pawns being used....

For Darcy, what do you think is necessary for salvation?
by TheListener ini know it was a rather long and drawn out title but i couldnt' think of another way to word it.
this is especially for the new poster darcy.
i was wondering what you felt was necessary to receive everlasting life, whether on heaven or paradise earth?

In view of how the WTS changes doctrine every so often, Darcy, what you are learning now most likely will be OLD LIGHT 10 or 20 years from now and you will teaching a lie today.

Does a child give his trust to a parent or even a stranger that slaps him/her in the face for no reason? There has got to be something more that the scriptures do not reveal.
