  16-20. we shall also have to raise up against him seven shepherds, yes, eight dukes of mankind.mic.

  what is the most important thing that you can do now to prepare for any future attack on gods people?.

  all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.. .

  No offense to Blondie but I never read hers as they are too involved and too many quotes, ... i like your "simplified" style much better, maybe she could adopt it LOL.

  Is this a prevalent attitude among Jehovah's Witness?

  by Honesty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one jehovah's witness says that people deserve the evil rulers they have because god gives them the ruler they deserve.. okaaay.. jehovah's witnesses teach that 'true' christians refuse to vote, 'true' christians refuse to take up arms and revolt against oppressive governments but if a country gets an evil dictator it is the people's fault and they deserve it because god gives them what they deserve.. in other words, according to one jehovah's witness, god is the author of evil because the people of an entire country got what they deserve from him.. .

  I have heard that view expressed regarding the question about the unfairness of the preaching work and how some cultures wont get a reasonable chance to hear the message, meaning that the deaths of millions at armageddon will be on their leaders heads for not allowing the preaching work and that the fact that the people didnt do anything to change their governments in order to have the chance to hear the "good news" meant they deserved ther fate at armageddon.

  I wouldnt say this view is common, but I have heard it several times over the years. Basically it's just dubs trying to rationalise an unpleasnt side effect of their belief system, that millions (billions) wont get a fair chance to convert before being killed by their all loving god...

  When A Fellow Apostate Goes Insane, What Can We Do To Help?

  by RottenRiley in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't know how to handle the situation with a fellow apostate who has lost their mind due to this evil cult.

  this guy is texting many of the elders under alias of six different cell-phones no less than twenty times a day.. .

  we had to change the locks at the kingdom hall because he was still stalking and prowling around the hall after advertsing he had left the kingdom hall and we were all no less than mind-dead zombies sucking out of the life of thinking individuals.

  He may well have lost the plot and need help with his issues. Get in touch with the Samaritans (or similar) or the Police for advice on what can be done.

  I dont think it's funny to allow him to unravel publicly and self destruct with potential for harm to others. As you point out his actions are doing absolutely nothing to free anyone form the cult either.

  Apples and oranges...

  http://www.asktheatheists.com/questions/1788-do-atheists-deny-the-existence-of-socrat/

  One answer there was this:

  Eric_PK

  It’s very simple.

  That Socrates existed is not an extraordinary claim; he is said to have been an excellent teacher and philosopher.

  That somebody named Jesus existed is not an extraordinary claim.

  That he was the son of god, was raised from the dead, and performed miracles – not(sic) that is an extraordinary claim.

  Or, to put it another way, if Socrates did not exist, it’s not a big deal to my worldview. But if Jesus did not exist – or was not a god – it’s a huge deal to the christian worldview.

  So, to summarize:

  Socrates: Ordinary claim, minimal effect on my worldview.

  Jesus: Extraordinary claim, huge effect on the christian worldview.

  That is why they are different.
