A holy God gives much opportunity for grace and mercy. At some point the cancer that is killing civilization and His people must be dealt with (justice). You fail to appreciate God's blazing holiness and how evil/wicked/destructive man had become.

I care about my adult children. I would be grieved and broken if they reject Christ. I also know and trust God that He will do the right thing as Judge of all the earth (Gen. 18:25). Even now, I see the wisdom in loving God supremely and others equal to ourselves. Love and relationship demands free will, so there is a possibility our children will not choose God. God is the perfect parent, yet Israel strayed from Him.
I am suggesting it is ignorant and arrogant to think one knows better than an omniscient, wise, loving, holy God. His ways are defensible, but our rebellion is not. Most people desire justice for Hitler, yet are blind to their own sin that cost Christ's life. If God did not provide escape, you would have a point. He came and died an ignominious death that we can have eternal life, yet we continue to spit in His face?! The ball is in our court (hell was also originally prepared for Satan, not man; those who follow Satan share his fate).

Sorry, I ate vs hate pasta. Pasta is real, but it is not Deity like God is (hence the stupid argument).

Who said babies/young children go to hell? God does not want anyone to go to hell and there is no good reason to go there in light of the cross. The fate of lost loved ones is a legit concern, but also shows our mistrust and ignorance of God (medieval torture chamber is not the nature of hell; hell is also not contrary to the love of God, but it is consistent with His holiness).
Denying things out of ignorance/arrogance does not negate their reality.

I hate pasta the other day. I assure you the noodles were not god. I also talked to and worshipped the Living God today. I sensed His beautiful presence and He is as real to me as my wife is.

The love of God is paramount, but those who mock Him need fear (reverence/awe) of the most majestic, glorious being in the universe. Jn. 3:16 is great, but Jn. 3:36 is in the same context. It is not loving to present one verse without the other. There is a heaven to gain and a hell to shun. Is it loving to not warn people of the impending cliff they are about to drive off to their death? It is not hateful to give God's view of things. It is not hateful nor homophobic to say homosexuality is wrong and its proponents will not inherit the kingdom of God. Playing god is dumb. Defending the honor of God is a worthy enterprise.
I am also a father and hate the wiles and ways of the WT. The most loving thing a father can do is ensure their family is right with God through Christ. It takes a man to admit they were wrong all these years. It also takes a man to find out the truth and lead their family into it.
Some here confuse sentimental luv with true love that seeks the highest good and glory of God and the highest good of others.

I am not condemning and judging. The dude is condemned and judged by his own sins. I am pointing him to the cure for sin, death, hell, in love. I am also not a mindless drone and know what I believe and why and can defend it in the face of idiotic atheism (Dawkins, etc. who don't have a clue about sound arguments, logic, religion, spirituality).

'Great Crowd' of 12 people get baptised at District Convention!!!
by burnedout inyesterday, out of 4,035 people in attendance at the dc, only 12 people were baptized.
that is one more than eleventeen and one less than a baker's dozen.. .
want to take a guess as to the age group of this 'great crowd?

Evangelicals, Mormons, Muslims, etc. are much faster growing. Growth numbers or rate is not proof for or against being true religion (nor is door knocking!).
I hope to live to see the day where WT shrinks more and more like other pseudo-Christian cults have.
In fairness, it is also a sign of the times that so few have any interest in God, church, etc. One would think with the massive hours put in, JWs would have more success. A small group with the Holy Spirit can have more impact in a month than a large group without the Holy Spirit (active force insult to Him) can have in years (Christian revivals are exciting and change whole towns/cities/lives, not just one or two people talked into something).
