  The Myth About Jehovah as a "GOD of LOVE".

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i`ll list a few things and welcome any input, comments you may have .. 1.when adam & eve "sinned" disobeyed him, surely god could have handled it better than to condemn all future generations to disease and death ?.

  2.his handling of satan who supposedly seduced eve to disobey god could also have been done a lot differently with a finality to it.. 3.i find little if anything in his dealings with the patriarchs that suggests a loving god protecting them.?.

  4.taking on the nation of israel and leading them as his chosen people does not inspire confidence or trust as a god of love.. 5.throughout the hebrew scriptures / old testament his chosen people were constantly at war with other nations which of course would have meant many deaths of the israelite`s during these battles .and the grief that comes with family members in those times.

  Seems like Johnamos has deliberately calculated his own interpretation of the bible to suit his own argumentative agenda, that's why I called him out as being intellectually dishonest.

  Quite frankly I dont think he's even read the bible in depth about the activity of Yahweh.
  

  What is an inter-net troll ....

  In internet slang, a troll is a person who starts quarrels or upsets people on the Internet to distract by posting inflammatory and digressive,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses[2] and normalizing tangential discussion,[3] whether for the troll's amusement or a specific gain.

  Well John I answered your question with honest open integrity, now the ball is in your court.

  If the god of the bible was a loving and just god he would punish people who were intellectually dishonest and evasive when presented with the facts.

  When Armageddon comes and your watching men, woman and children being burned alive, do remember this conversation will you .

  Your the one Brother johnamos who's being evasive and anyone reading this thread can see that.

  Best to go back to the WTS/JWS and get more lessens in being intellectually dishonest.

  If you would want them to be removed, would that be unjust/unloving?

  You are not talking about having them removed, you are talking about killing them out right like Yahweh did at Noah's flood.
  

  Yes I want them to be removed but wouldn't want them to be taken out to a field and burned to death as the bible writers say is going to happen.

  The topical question at hand is if the god of the ancient Hebrews Yahweh really a god of love and just .

  The evidence shown leads to the negative.

  Just think: all those wack-a-doo Preppers were right all along.
  Makes you go, "Hmmmmmmmm..."

  Sorry Terry I dont hold that same opinion, I personally think humanity has developed a sense of persistence to sustain a better life in unity to overcome a lot of things over the years/decades.
  

  True we are being socially tripped upped at the moment but humanity will persevere this problem out until its gets resolved, thankfully we live in a age of scientific knowledge to assist us in are perils and problems.

  They do strange things. Sharing self written songs about the end.

  Thats because they are delusionaly sick and some JWS even known that.

  The WTS pumps fear and ignorance into their brains to make them intellectually weak and submissive.

  Johnamos says .........

  If you lived on an island with 1,000 adults (men and women) and 500 children (boys and girls) and if only 3 men out of the 1000 adults were men that would rape, kill, and steal, etc.. would you feel it is okay for them to be there to do those things or would you want them to be removed from the island? If you would want them to be removed, would that be unjust/unloving?

  Armageddon is loving and just. Those that will be killed will be those that are like the 3 men on the island and the one that robbed your home.

  In your analogy you forgot to mention that YAHWEH killed innocent people, such as children during the Noah's flood only to save one family who after this killing genocide were not really good moral people.

  .......and no I wouldn't want someone who robbed my home to be killed for it
  

  According to the bible Yahweh/Jesus is going to kill all people who worshiped other gods who were never baptized in his name .

  Your analogy is tainted with corruption just like the lying corrupt spin doctrines of the Watchtower Corporation and the men who run it.

  Hospital is laying off and furloughing

  by Anony Mous in

  1. social
  2. current

  i've been having a tough time today, i just got notice that our hospital is laying off a large group of people and furloughing others.

  nurses, doctors, we just don't have enough business during this covid crisis, we've only ran at 60% capacity, while cuomo is telling us about shortages, they weren't ever realized, and nys simply won't open up fast enough for us to recover.

  nys has given notice that hospitals are likely going to be out for 4-5 more months before all restrictions will be lifted, only necessary surgeries are allowed right now, with a few hundred of millions per month revenue shortfall, this is going to destroy and contract our business and our remote (rural) hospitals are the hardest hit, probably going to close permanently.

  Sorry to hear that , I guess this isn't surprising being that many Hospitals dramatically reduced their operating activity in general.

  The bright side to this is that when the restrictions are lifted and Hospitals return to their normal activity they will be busy places for sure.

  US Letter Read Sunday 4/26 at Meeting - No KH Use and No Field Service Indefinitely

  by JWTom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there was a letter read sunday at our meeting that mentioned some parts of us are starting to open back up.

  however, regardless of things opening up that no kingdom halls should be used for any meetings of any kind.

  also, no door-to-door ministry or any form of in-person ministry is allowed.

  This letter is just confirming the governments laws regarding social gatherings.

  When these restrictions are lifted another letter will be sent out stating its OK to attend Kingdom Halls, after all that's where the real brainwashing takes place.

  Elders once again can reinsert their power over the flock, guilt tripping and obligating people to spread the literature to the public.
