You:"would you deny your child vaccination, even if it means your child will die?" Jwskyper-- "..I'll obey them ( the watchtower)." ..Yet they claim not to follow men as leaders?? I'd ask: if Jehovah was using them back then, how come Jehovah used them to say something else years later?

Why does god kill children?
by Comatose ini was thinking about all the accounts in the bible that indicate god kills children as a punishment or teaching experience.
1. kills all of egypts firstborn sons, who were innocent kids who did nothing to him or his people, who had no control over the decisions pharoah made.
how many times have you read that account or thought about it without realizing the devastating pain dealt to all those parents, and remembered those were innocent kids?.

Tec said: " What it says of Scripture is, not that it is "breathed into by God’ or is a product of the Divine "inbreathing" into its human authors, but that it is breathed out by God, "God-breathed," the product of the creative breath of God. "..and then.."An inspired book is described as ‘theopneustos’ (God breathed)" -- So, whether God was inhaling or exhaling at the time, the book (as a creative work) came from him, correct? So either he doesn't mind having secretaries that don't write down what he inspires them to say, or he has inspired them to say things that are not true/did not happen.. Also, which book/s has Jesus told you were written with Gods ideas and thoughts entirely, and there still remains an accurate translation today? Specifically please..

To enjoy the only life I have, and try to help others do the same. Finding something else to motivate yourself after your whole world-view crumbles, is difficult though. We were told that everything about normal life was a waste of time and energy, only ministry+meetings really matter..

God's will or free will?
by thinker ini've heard many people tell me about bible prophesy.
if the bible can predict future events then it stands to reason that those events are predetermined and man has no choices in this world.
think about all the choices you've made in your life and how different life for you would be if you had done things differently.

"Q. And unity based upon an enforced acceptance of false prophecy? A. That is conceded to be true. Q. And the person who expressed his view, as you say, that it was wrong, and was disfellowshipped, would be in breach of the Covenant, if he was baptized? A. That is correct. Q. And as you said yesterday expressly, would be worthy of death? A. I think – – – Q. Would you say yes or no? A. I will answer yes, unhesitatingly. Q. Do you call that religion? A. It certainly is. Q.
