Is the FACT that no God/god ever communicates with us evidence that no God/god exists?
I would have to answer "No" to that question. I do feel though that IF there is in fact a God, he just doesn't give a GOD damn about us humans.

i think it is very strong evidence that no personal god/god exits, especially a benevolent god who wants humans to know him him/her/it, to obey him/her/it, and/or to love him/her/it.
since no god/god communicates to us (including those who sincerely want communication with the/a god/god), wouldn't it be sensible for those who pray to what they believe is the/a god/god to cease all efforts to communicate to a god/god?

do jehovah’s witnesses take advantage of people in their low points in life?
do you know of some good examples?
.
Do Jehovah’s Witnesses take advantage of people in their low points in life?
Oh HELL yes! And if the persons are not low enough the JW's will darned sure see that they ARE put into a low spot. Then comes the favorite part for most JW's, kicking them while they are down!
so picture this, you are suddenly withdrawing troops after 2 decades in a country and, well, its all gone to shit.. how do you ensure that your vulnerable citizens and allies can get out when the airport is surrounded and no one can get through?.
option 1: it's a trick question surely?
you don't get yourself into this mess in the first place - you withdraw the citizens first, not last, duh!.
And the military leaders just said "ok, that sounds like a plan!".
And meanwhile a Lt. Col. Marine who had the temerity to question the powers-that-be and upper military brass was relieved of duty "for cause" and fired! What a sorry bunch of Anti-freedom ass-wipes! And that includes anyone who takes the side of those idiots who support the current U.S. regime!

@ Simon- Normally I do not resort to swearing, but in this case I will make an exception. I wonder who the FUCKING RETARD was that gave your opening post a thumb down?

If you are a dementia addled, anti-American, likely pedophile idiot named biden you pick options 2 and 3, then shuffle off to beddy-bye all the while mumbling that it is the previous President's fault.
a few months back, one of my uncles who was an elder, asked the co, why jehovah would allow the door to door preaching work, to come to an abrupt end.
this was when my uncle was starting to have serious doubts about the organization.. the co told him to be patient, and hang in there, because the governing body was on top of things and in time would explain what is happening regarding the preaching work.. my uncle asked; “what do you mean?”.
co said; “focus on the wt study articles in the coming months” .

THANK YOU! I really need to read something today that would make me laugh. The only thing the g.b. is on top of is begging for more money.

The Pentagon on Thursday confirmed that several U.S. service members have been killed after two explosions went off near Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan.
U.S. military code has this to say:
8 USC Ch. 115: TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
I know there are some half-wit leftists who will try to pin this all on Mean-tweets Trump except it is Xiden who ran like a rabbit and gave AID TO THE ENEMY in the form of weapons, munitions, and real property. It is Xiden who folded like a cheap rug when the taliban made threats against the U.S. This entire fiasco is on Xiden's dementia addled shoulders as is the blood of every single person the taliban murdered since that idiot ran!
in a post this morning, i suggested that a way to wake up fellow congregants is to plainly comment or make talks on teachings and rules the jws don't really know too well.
the idea is that you can say these things, other jws will be bothered by the comments, but will not be able to do anything about it as this is the official teaching or stand on this or that.
the key here is that when troubling rules and teachings are thought in the watchtower, they generally use wording that makes them go down easy.
Most none JWs will be killed at Armageddon. That means, 99% of the planet. It will be a blood bath.
This is a great point. In my last ever allowed public prayer instead of the time worn, "Jehovah, we pray for the time you bring the promised end to wicked people and we inherit the earth as you promised," I re-worded it to say the exact same thing. Of course I got called on the carpet for saying, "Jehovah, we pray for the time very soon now when you will kill nearly 8 billion men, women, and children so that only the very few who are baptized Jehovah's Witnesses are left alive on the earth."
Hey, it is what the former more popular request actually says.
great news.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-58309254.
pfizer's two-dose covid-19 vaccine has received full approval from the us food and drug administration (fda) - the first jab to be licensed in the nation.. .
the vaccine had initially been given emergency use authorisation.
A few other questions?
If you are one of the sheeple who believe and spout off about how an individual who makes an informed decision to hold off on getting the COVID jab should not receive medical care IF they get sick "due to their utter selfishness, sucks medical resources and time away from genuinely sick people"; do you feel that homosexuals should not be allowed medical treatment if/when they contract HIV/AIDS? What about smokers who get lung cancer? Alcoholics who get cirrhosis? Obese people who get heart disease or diabetes?
Already that kind of 'thinking' has led to death panels in the U.S. where medical centers are taking people, who for one reason or another have decline to be injected with the gene therapy COVID jab, off transplant wait lists. That effectively is sentencing those people to death as a penalty for making a personal decision.i’m reservations, pimo elder.
i’m in no position to leave the organisation, maybe some people will see that as weak or whatever, but we have to all go down our own path in life.. i would like to be able to wake people up in my congregation, how do you think best to do this?
any ideas?.
get off the school, and stop commenting at the meetings
I did that. I would also add, quit singing or even mouthing the words to the songs. There is no law that you must bow your head for prayers, so quit doing that. Quit the trained seal clapping for Sunday talks. If you feel you must report F.S. time, just report that you 'participated'.
