before the mentally diseased apostates could get their hands on and dissect any information regarding the convention that hadn't been released to regular publishers/elders...the society released the district program on the official site completely and utterly slaying every single demented apostate on the face of the earth.
now have fun dissecting it kiddos, while we big kids get a taste of solid, spiritual meet this summer.
continue drowning in misery while god's people go on rejoicing and enduring these last days.
The original poster is the one making a joke of their god!
Agreed, Hint of Lime. God has nothing better to do than to prevent apostates from leaking information that will be readily available at one point in time or another anyways.
I wonder if God plays with Rubick's cube in his spare time, or made a version so sophisticated that he himself can't solve...

The video in the OP speaks about rape and murder. Both of those are human problems with human solutions.
ALL the problems we have are of a physical nature, in one way or the other. There are no other problems one can face! Tell me, which other problems do you propose? Even psychological problems are inherently of a physical nature.
Why would the First Cause intervene when his creation can and won't?
We do intervene, when we can. Then again, there are those that choose to commit the crime. Our inability to confront all these problems doesn't excuse God's inaction.
His intervention would favor good. His inaction allows evil to run rampant.
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
Plus how can you prove God is not acting in a way you don't know or understand?
That's a weak argument. How can you prove Thor doesn't control lightning in ways you don't know or understand?
The question is mostly addressed to Christian Apologists, and since you're all over the place, I don't think you are qualified to answer that from the Christian Apologist perspective.
i have an issue with preaching.
specifically, going door to door, talking to people who, for the most part, have no desire whatsoever to hear what i have to say.
more specifically, being required to do so as a means of salvation.
It's like there's a scripture cherry-picked for everything!
Leaving_quietly, do you believe the Bible can be interpreted correctly, what with there being many contradictory texts?
Don't you think 2,000 years of expectation and, "it's coming soon" is a bit much?

What was the question? I forget...
Is the inaction of God favoring evil?

So, was the OP question satisfactorily answered? The endless speculative abyss of Sab may well provide hope in non-exhaustible fuels after all.
Is the inaction of God favoring evil? If God exists, then yes, IMO, it seems like callous indifference.

I just thought of something too. How exactly is slaying someone "mentally diseased" considered a victory?
Braveheart wouldn't look so brave slaying 10,000 people confined to wheel-chairs.

LOL, I think we have a troll.

That's nothing. I once slayed 2 million Bloons in Bloons Tower Defence 5. In case you are thinking, "that is a piece of cake", these were no ordinary Bloons. These were mentally diseased/demented Bloons. These Bloons meant business.
I think I just +1 your GB. Your move, little lady.

Eze 3:17-21 - warning someone wicked
Does that mean going D2D? Context my friend. Does that mean shoving literature down people's throats and getting them to go to meetings, and in general submitting to the JW way of life?
Rom 10:14,15 - how, in turn will they hear without someone to preach?
Preaching, but in what capacity? What method? Exactly.
1 Tim 4:16 - Pay constant attention to yourself and to your teaching. Stay by these things, for by doing this you will save both yourself and those who listen to you.
Who is Paul writing to, specifically?
Luke 19:40 - I tell YOU, If these remained silent, the stones would cry out.
I'll add context.
37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:
38 “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!” [b]
“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
These disciples are supposed to have seen MIRACLES. Why would you have any reason to keep quiet?
2 Tim 4:2 - preach the word, be at it urgently in favorable season, in troublesome season, reprove, reprimand, exhort, with all long-suffering and [art of] teaching
Timothy was a "superintendent" or an "elder", whatever you want to call it. He had been on missions with Paul before. It was directed at him, and by extension anyone with a position of responsibility.
Interesting how WT takes so many verses out of context.
what is it about higher criticism that petrifies the watchtower?
what are they trying to hide?.
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/higher%20criticism.
Doug, that's certainly an interesting avenue you are going through. Me thinks, for example, that a study of comparative religions is very useful as a supplement, such as the thread Bethel - the house of the canaanite god El.
That certainly adds context to what most Biblical Literalists deem the "untouchable, uninfluentiable Word of God."
is there a church-of-england.net, or a baptist.net, etc, or are we the only ones that peeved by our religion?.
would be interesting to see how other religions compare as they are after all, all buildings of man, except of course, judaism, though even thats fallen down..
Ex-Mormons are peeved. Christians in general are peeved. You don't need a specific .net to see that.
