This is because Jehovah is the God of the one true religion and always cares for his own. Now, the nasty, wicked people on the other hand (that's us) will be completely destroyed at the great battle of armageddon in which we will fully realise our own weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Who ever said that the future was bleak!
disturbing divine behavior:.
troubling old testament images of god.

I can't actually bring myself to take the bible seriously or even read it. That used to trouble me but not so much now. I'm sure there is a creative force or inteligence but in what form I know not.
Just got my son a book on the Hubble Telescope photos. WOW!
What wonders!
i really resent the fact that the wt looked down upon alot of music.
rap was considered violent.
heavy metal was satanic.
Ahhh, I remember when Nirvarna headed Reading Festival in around 1990 or so. Magic!
That's before I became knotted up with the Jobies. They put an end to all my fun-temporarily.
They even stopped me going fishing. They have no fun in them do they.

Every word of it.
in case you haven't heard, the november 15, 2011 watchtower, page 5 made this comment.
"today, no servant of jehovah uses physical force against opponents of pureworship.
"vengeance is mine," god says.
As if they haven't dug themselves in to a big enough hole they're still digging!
Someone lend them a JCB or a CAT.
They must be driven by their own arrogance.
i've never read any, so i'd like to know everyone's opinion..
Oh yes, and James Penton's book is very good as has already been mentioned.
Sorry if I have left any out. I think things have moved on a bit since I left the WBT$

Ron Rhodes did a very interesting and informative book entitled 'Reasoning from The Scriptures with the Jehovahs Witnesses'. If indeed it is possible to reason with them.
I do not have it now but I found it very helpful at the time.
Franz's books are the obvious starting point I suppose.
'Gentile Times Reconsidered' is interesting but I no longer feel that it is relevant because Jesus didn't show up in 1914 so to me the issue of when the Jewish temple was destroyed is of historical interest but little more.
Happy reading!
we had an elder that was hung up on mens haircuts he had a real thing about how short mens hair should be and even told one bro off for parting his hair down the middle.. even told one bro to shave off his sideburns.. a c.o who was paronoid about sound always telling the bro in charge off.. .
a d.o who orded the attendants to remove crying babys from assemblys on more than a few occations...hans hubler for those that know him..
We had an elder who was obsessed with the length of sisters skirts and their low-cut tops. It used to make me chuckle the way the sisters got round it by wearing long skirts with splits that were practically as long as the skirt itself.
Most of us came to the correct conclusion that this brother was sexually frustrated and didn't like to be reminded of it.

When the revolution comes, I want them to be the first to go.
dear friends:.
for years now after my exit from the wtbts i have searched for god.
as i have previously mentioned in other threads i looked into many other religions, including druidry, zen and tibetan buddhism (not really a religion), asatru, native american shamanism, kemetic orthodoxy, gnosticism and pandeism.
Personally, I think that all spiritual experiences are a delusion of the mind. I do not mean this as an insult. I can relate to your examination of Christianity and you are quite correct in that it makes no sense at all. How could it ever make sense?
All that hatred and revenge in the bible goes against every kind of sense. If it's all true, then I'll be happy to be the first to go.
