i was just pondering the other day, is it more likely that a man will leave a religion, or a woman?

is there a way to know if the men on the site outnumber the women or vice versa as to who found out ttat first and left.. im going to suggest men.

basically because men in general, do not like to be told what to do.

Careful OneEyedJoe... remember what happened last time lol..

this time I might not be here to help.

Wasn't it you and eye that went through this once before and got in trouble and almost shunned by the board? lol

Another reason god is a terrible "father"

by _Morpheus in

its easy to look around and say if a singular all powerful were real he would stop the suffering of man and animal, a position i support.

however there is another even more basic premise i have pondered at times as well (im sure im not the first of course) : would any loving parent ever hide from their children?

consider it... our all knowing all loving father hides from us even though we cry out to know him.

Sofia this story you have been taught is an apologists way of trying to justify a cruel god in a not cruel way, its not real doctrine or fact, its 2+2=5... because it just has to =5.

People justify abusive spouses in a similar way, ignoring the atrocities they commit and trying to make up a reason they aren't horrible.

YHWH is an abusive relationship

Lett has many tells that he is either lying, or covering things up.

A blaring one is saying how he is not ashamed to discuss this... a clear admission they are actually doing what they say they are not. There is no backing except a graph they made for the need to KH's in the US. For everyone outside the US I will tell you I don't know of any halls in this situation, quite the opposite, they are more empty than ever.

How would you explain his interference with the flood? or the tower of babel? Or the whole first 5 books of the bible? Pulled back control? read your bible again, he disappeared with the advent of better record keeping.

Yep, and I personally from a personal point of view had a dad that was out of my life until I was maybe 6? when I met him he was a stranger to me, and I never had that fatherly love you are suppose to have, it just never happened. I have told one person in my family this when they said "have you ever really learned how to love jehovah?"

No and this is why, I can't love someone who doesn't exist, not like Zeus anyway
