Theists, why does God allow suffering..
by The Quiet One in..specifically, the suffering of animals.
you can talk about free will/sin/people choosing to not listen to god etc to explain human suffering being allowed.. but how can you love a god that allows animals, that haven't sinned or chosen to not have anything to do with god, to have their short lives ended in often long, drawn out, painful ways.
i could list stories i've read that would probably make you feel ill, but i'm not looking to shock anyone or start an emotional debate.

Emeth, I appreciate you responding to my request for an answer via PM .. The Bible doesn't appear to answer this question, and God has not spoken to me or anyone else for (at least) centuries.. You have avoided the question. Why has Jehovah designed animals to inflict suffering on other animals, and why are they being allowed to endure such painful deaths when they have committed no sin? This does not seem just or loving.

JW apologist Emeth dismisses teachings of Russell as irrelevant, uninspired and even funny.. Maybe in the future jw's will say the same about todays Governing Body?

The point is that today, as Datadog mentioned, 'present truth' is not open to questioning. Tomorrow it could change, and even be looked back on as amusing by future generations.. How might Jehovah have felt, watching Witnesses die because his mouthpiece told them that organ transplants were like cannibalism. Any other examples of positions that have changed over time, and could not be disagreed upon?

Emeth has kindly informed me that his posting limit has been reached.. So don't think that he isn't bothering to answer or read this. Please keep the comments coming..

Emeth, the Governing Body don't claim to be inspired or infallible either.. How do you know that teachings you would be DF'd for disagreeing with today will not be seen as irrelevant, outdated and amusing in the future? (You have to accept their teachings as coming from God, yet they admit that some things they say may be wrong..)"They do not claim that this slave class is infallible, but they do view it as the one channel that the Lord is using during the last days of this system of things."Proclaimers p.626
