  WHY does God fail to...

  by Martini in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ...attain unanimous support from his creation of free moral agents?

  from the majority at least.. apparently according to the wt interpretation of god's own book...a prominent spirit creature who made himself satan became unsatisfied and left god.later untold numbers would join the devil.. now the only solution for the future of these 'rebels' would be for god to destroy them.. then the very first human creatures apparently also felt unsatisfied and withdrew from god.they got destroyed.. later god had to confuse the language of all humans because they were unanimously opposed to god.

  those people too are history.. then god had an ark built because all flesh had left god's way except for a handful of people.. evidently god was not expecting any great number to actually join noah, otherwise god would have had noah build several arks!

  To Spectromize:

  Quote: It would be presumptuous to conclude that God does not have the majority of his servants as faithful and loyal. Unquote.

  That sounds like WTBTS doublespeak. We are not to question. Ours is not to wonder. We are to only be assimilated to follow the GB's orders, period. I say HOGWASH.

  ON THE EARTH, the majority of mankind has chosen NOT to follow God. What the people here were asking was WHY?

  And yes, even though we cannot say how many of the Spirit world forsook Jah, or what their motives were, the question is WHY can't Jah keep the majority of beings as followers and why is his answer to it always violence and killing?

  If my child disagrees with me, I don't kill it. That's not LOVING.

  A Request

  by Friend in

  lately i have spent some time responding to various subjects on this forum.

  at this time it seems a bit necessary that i address something about myself in the hopes that it will clear up some misunderstandings.

  first of all, i am not a defender of the watch tower bible & tract society.

  I agree with Red HorseWoman. It's not JUST the doctrinal issues regarding the WTBTS that are sore points. It's the way they have treated "Widows and children" and those having doubts and questions regarding their "blinking light". It is said in the Bible that the true religion would be known by the "Love among themselves". This love is sadly lacking in the congregations that I have attended over the past 32 years. It is almost as if being taught this religion STUNTS emotional growth and maturity instead of widening out our capacity to love. Such a shame. And I do believe that is the telling feature that lets us know that it couldn't possibly BE the only true religion, if indeed it is comprised of any truth at all.

  SC,

  May I answer these questions as an inactive JW and what I was always taught to believe about this subject?

  Friend,

  In your response to Frenchy you qouted Jws in the 20th century.

  It says many millions that were not JWs will be resurrected and have the opportunity for life.

  Many now living may yet take a stand for truth and rightousness before the great tribulation, " and they will gain salvation.

  I ask, how do those who will be resurrected according to the WT and the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses gain the opportunity for life?

  Answer by Rcat: I was always taught that they will be "taught" Jehovah's ways, and grow to perfection like all the armageddon survivors, and be tested after Satan is let back out of the abyss.

  Also, how will those that chose to take a stand for truth gain salvation before the great tribulation?

  Answer by Rcat: By listening and learning the "truth" and becoming Baptized Jehovah's Witnesses, as only BAPTIZED Jehovah's Witnesses and those too young to make that stand who are CHILDREN of Baptized Jehovah's Witnesses will be fortunate enough to be "SAVED" in the Great Trib and Armageddon.

  Do we have to belong to the Jehovah's Witness belief system to gain that salvation? Please answer this question with a yes or no.

  YES. Simple as THAT.

  THAT is how I was always taught in the meetings and through the publications and my memory ISN"T FAULTY.

  devoting yourself to men and their rules puts you in a precarious position with jehovah.

  SC, that sounds like Gestapo tactics by the WTBS in order to keep people from hearing the truth and leaving the Org. That's not "unity", it's force.

  The Watchtower Society TELLS you that you have nowhere else to go, because that's what they want you to think. They want you to think that theirs is the only Pony Show in town. Don't believe it.
  When the Organization, who calls itself a prophet, tells you that they're the only game in town that is "Truth", they are isolating you from true knowledge. The true knowledge is that the Organization itself is fallible, as well as the very imperfect men who run it, however loving their motives may be.
