if humans have to suffer to have free will and to disprove satan's challenge to god as mentioned in the bible...then why the f*ck do animals have to suffer as well?
.
satan's challenge involved humans and not poor animals.. i'm looking for an honest explanation from believers.. at this point, the older i get, the less i believe in a god who is "love"..
When I was "studying" I was told that our love for animals is misplaced and unnatural and that after Armageddon they would be returned to their proper place. We lack love from our fellow men so turn to animals to fulfil that need but it isn't right and we won't need them to love once we are perfect again.
My dog died 12 June this year and I am still struggling without her.
i think there will be a change in the 144000 belief.
too many witnesses think they have a heavenly hope.
maybe 1914 will be discarded too.. what is your watchtower prediction?
Us ordinary minions could count time too when we built ours

is it the first of april already?.
I don't think "reasoning from the scriptures" is encouraged any more. There's too many holes in their reasons. The GB do however have to keep those already enslaved busy and away from the internet lest they decide to research...well... anything really, because we all know what happens when you start down the rabbit hole.
I can see how the r &f might be impressed by a big screen.
how many here have been active here on this site in the the last seven days?.
I check in most days too.
This site keeps me up to date on more than JW/exJW topics but events around the world too.
been to see the new film (movie) tonight.
outstanding!
brought back lots of memories.
As we left the cinema I told my daughter I didn't remember a few things quite like they were depicted in the film but later learned it was because they shifted the timeline about so the build-up to Live Aid would be more dramatic.
was i the only one who secretly dreaded the new system of things a little bit when i was a believing witness?
of course i felt very guilty, because of all the sick and heartbroken people who needed a perfect world to live in.
but there are a lot of nice parts of life i was going to secretly miss.
We had a sister who constantly liked to speculate on life in the new system. Her main concern was that there would be naked bottoms on her sofa.

God supposedly deliberately designed and manufactured animals to grow old and die. Inbuilt planned obsolescence in a living feeling sentient being is not love in my book.
... filling in holes in my cds.

This is my favourite pianist
He often explains how, why, when and who composed the pieces too.
i recently had to take a trip with my family to bethel.
it was a bit torturous for a secret apostate as you can imagine.
but mostly just so boring.
The highlight of our tour was seeing a feather cleaning machine for their pillows. They actually rip open the pillows, deposit the feathers into the machine and then decant them back into an empty clean pillow case.
in this 21st century with so many nations involved in space exploration sending satellite`s out into the far reaching` s of the universe and none have detected anything resembling what could be described as a heaven ,i`m just wondering how these 3 major religions that base their beliefs on sections of the bible would/could answer this question.?.
not only have these many satellites been deployed to various parts of our solar system but at least a couple have even ventured out of our solar system into deep space .. and none have encountered a heaven of any description.. your thoughts ?.
