That may be ok for short-term unjust profit or gain...but what about when the long-term results present themselves and demand payment? I am trying to think long term success not long term self destruction for short term benefits.

Why did Jesus say the servant would remain with us forever ..if He goes and the slave comes? If "they" were going to heaven they would no longer be with us right?

"....you will be like gods, knowing good and evil."
by Lilycurly ini know this has been mentioned before, but i'd like to bring that question to the front again.
not only from a jw's perspective, but also from all other christians.. who lied to man and woman in the eden story?.
yahweh god says to men: 17 "nevertheless of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you are not to eat, for on the day you eat of it you shall most surely die.

Actually.....was ressuresction on the table when they decided to eat from it? God said they would die....serpent said they wouldn't....If they are resurrected...did anyone lie?
Is there a human on this planet that has the answer to these questions?
If you are holding restricted information...yet no one knows it even exists....is that restriction or ignorance?
If you are holding restricted information everyone is searching for....yet you bury and hide it...or keep a secret so to speak.. You are superior to the ones who do not have it....If and when you decide to share it with others...are you still superior to them? Or do they become equal in power to you?
If you know all....how long does it take to share that completely? Could take forever...couldn't it?
Does anyone hate learning something new every day?
Does anyone hate living with the mystery of what each new day may bring?
Just some questions I ask myself sometimes.

Why would God want to destroy the world?
by DavidChristopher inmakes no sense to me,,,,,.
we have the means to accomplish that..and there are many people willing to do it too.. why would he want to put our necks in a noose..when we do it ourselves?.
who could blame him for us killing ourselves?.

You know...thinking further about it....
Arthur has a great deal of control right now......we could argue about his intentions even get violent and hurt one another trying to prove we are right and know his intentions....all the while he is sitting back watching waiting until a time of his choosing to stop it.
We could even start a whole bunch of religons to see how many people believe we know Arthur's intentions and reasons.
We can even have wars about it..making others admit we know Arthur's reasons and intentions "or else".
the possibilities are endless...and we can have fun doing so I suppose.....but Arthur can end that too if he chooses.
He doesn't have to lie....all he has to do is stay silent. until a time of his choosing.
when Arthur decides to speak....some are going to love him and some are going to hate him...
But EVERYONE is going to listen to him.

not really sure...
Perhaps it is in agreeance with their desires?
many people want everyone dead who refuse to listen to, follow them, and do what they want them to do.
that is the best I can come up with right now.

telling lies
by happyone inneighbors of mine have been spreading some unkind untruths about me and i'm not sure what i can do about it.
i'm struggling and would love some words of insight from others.
there are days when i'd like to sink to their level and tell some lies of my own, but i know that's not the way to go.

Is god really a good leader?
by LtCmd.Lore innow that i feel free to think about whatever i want i have been questioning everything.
so here are my thoughts on whether or not god, at leasy the one described in the bible, is fit to command.
we don't have very many examples of him ruling over large groups, but here are the main three i can think of.

DavidChristopher
That would depend on you.
do you want Him to be?
How can He be a leader if nobody wants to follow and listen?

can it be constructive judging and condemning a person who is not present or able to defend themselves and their intentions?
perhaps Arthur did that on purpose to see if someone would catch it and cared enough to try to fix it and right the wrong.
Only Arthur can provide the truth to that question....if he chooses too.
For us...it is a useless argument that only Arthur can stop if he chooses to.

didn't Jesus address that question?
Something to the effect "happy are you when people........."
Also try informing them that lies are too much work to try to remember and keep straight...truth is much easier and less time consuming...truth is memories...lies are dreams and most time nightmares they are designing for themselves in the long term scheme of things.
Hope this helps..
Keep us posted ok....
