Down sixteen from this morning. I almost didn't want to post this just because it'll resurrect the thread and frankly it's nice not being reminded of El Slobbo on a daily basis. But good news is good news right? 😉

God won't lift a finger to help you.

if you have a better solution to the problem of evil than what jesus offers, then why don't you present that in a new topic?.
pathetic diversion.

@ Sea Breeze
You asked me the same question in the previous topic where this conversation started, I answered it in my opening post in this topic. Maybe you missed it but what I said was; "Societies of all faiths and none have developed systems of justice for millennia. None of them are perfect but humanity does try."So Sea Breeze, what exactly IS the solution to evil that Jesus offers? Be specific.

MANY DIFFICULT YEARS AHEAD : PER CHRISTENSEN
by raymond frantz inhttps://youtu.be/jsmbtv4nafi?si=ezj0dnudyjls4knc.
there was a time they preached the great tribulation was a short period of time between the fall of babylon and jesus coming back to save them, now they realize there are difficult years ahead of us, watch this latest morning worship video by per christensen on this subject .

When the boomers and genX'ers are all gone this wretched religion will be totally unrecognisable from anything we remember.
The change is almost complete even now with in-person meeting attendance not mandatory, book study abandoned, field service reporting dropped, dress and grooming standards lowered, shunning softened and the list goes on.
The final changes will be doctrinal and it's only the oldies that even remotely care about that. When they're out of the way doctrines won't just be simplified, they'll become irrelevant.
Jehovah's Witnesses used to stand for something. Sad really.

Just Curious: Do JWs Count Their Time Spent in Chat Forums "Witnessing?"
by LauraLynn inhi, all--i was just wondering, since there is emphasis on counting your witnessing hours in the jws, if they indeed count their time here and in other chat forums?
i happened to check the jws own chat forum, and it is closed to non-members.
i thought that it was interesting that they are free to come here, but we are not free to go there to discuss the bible.

The JW's don't have an official forum, you've no doubt found a group that have set one up despite the organisation's counselling not to do so.
Don't expect to get an honest debate on any forum (including this one) with anyone still calling themselves a Jehovah's Witness. Most fundamentalist Christians are the same.

Duran. I try as hard as I can to demonstrate how harmful religious belief is to humanity. How it desensitizes people and corrupts their moral perception.
I try to demonstrate the superiority of reason over dogma and how an atheistic or humanist approach to life is far more enriching and, frankly, loving.
But try as hard as I can I'll never turn as many people away from the God of the Bible as you will.
Keep up the good work.

Duran. The god you worship permitted the killing of innocent children just to settle a wager.
Reflect on that.

The story of Job is fascinating. It's the only account in the Bible where the devil kills anyone, in this case it's Job's ten children.
It's interesting because he couldn't actually touch them at all as God was protecting Job, his family and his possessions. They only became vulnerable when God accepted a bet with the devil and removed his protection.
God gave Satan a gun and Satan went a shootin'.
Imagine a family in the Witness Protection Scheme. If a police officer was persuaded by the family's aggressor to reveal the address of the safehouse what consequences would he face?
God on the other hand gets a free pass from unthinking, fundamentalists on this forum for behaving like an arsehole.
