Tsunamis have no connection with human activity. They are caused by the sudden release of pressure between tectonic plates deep below the ocean - pressure that has been building for thousands of years.

animals could sense in advance and moved to safer places just before the 2004 Asian tsunami

That is like saying if we only tried harder we could fly around safely at night like a bat.

Why are people who pretend to be the most spiritual often the most callous - as well as being profoundly ignorant?

No other religion is as guilty as JW religion—you know why?

by venus in

all other religions have myths that show satan as inferior to god almighty.

but only jw religion portrays satan more powerful than god through their teaching of “issue of sovereignty” which implies god almighty needs validation from satan as though he waits till satan is satisfied which has not happened even after killing of jesus 2000 years ago and things like ethnic cleansing, spilling of oceans of blood ….

etc..

I ... practice Past Regression therapy as hobby .. which I learned under my guru Brian L Weiss - Venus

The fact that God is not doing anything to remove suffering is not a problem for me to disbelieve in Him because we all know humans are capable of removing suffering - Venus

No we don't all know that. Humans can do nothing to prevent a tsunami or even predict it more than a few minutes in advance. If you are defining "god" as the creator of earth then he murdered a quarter of a million men, women and children in the 2004 Asian tsunami. He is a moral monster.

Of course your definition of god is so vague you will wiggle out of this dilemma with more ambiguous, self-aggrandising waffle.

So much vacuous and callous waffle in your posts Venus I can't muster the enthusiasm to even start to refute it.

If you are curious about why I called it callous let me know.

venus - the "god" you describe is utterly useless. It is precisely the same as no god at all.

A Korean Tragedy

by fulltimestudent in

jw
friends

the modern history is full of deep, dark tragedies.

and, my intention, as i sat down to write of those tragedies for a fb page i look after for a macquarie university student society, was to tell the story of these very dark contemporary events.

but east asia history is complex and i think its helpful to try to have an overview of that history to understand what has happened in the recent past.

bad relationship between North Korea’s Kim Il sung and Mao Zedong and Kruschev

I can't help with a primary source but I have read the same in Frank Dikotter's trilogy on Mao and in Paul French's book "North Korea, State of Paranoia".

The Bloody Boogeyman

by Saename in

have you ever heard a witness argue that blood transfusions are often unhealthy anyway?

it's something that they mention nearly every time to make you think... "oh, after all, it's not like jehovah's witnesses are fanatics because they deny certain medical treatments purely for the sake of the bible.

they do have medical reasons as well!".

Jumping out of an upstairs window is very dangerous. If your room is on fire and you have exhausted all other options it is the only sensible course of action.

It is deeply dishonest for JWs to refer to the medical risks of transfusions.
