if humans have to suffer to have free will and to disprove satan's challenge to god as mentioned in the bible...then why the f*ck do animals have to suffer as well?

.

satan's challenge involved humans and not poor animals.. i'm looking for an honest explanation from believers.. at this point, the older i get, the less i believe in a god who is "love"..

@out4good4

It's not uniquely Watchtower inspired since it is mentioned in the Bible.

I know there are some believers on these forums; if you are reading this, please explain.

The paranormal.

by Lost in the fog in

i know that a lot of the people on here have turned their backs on the idea of a deity deciding that god does not exist.

but what about the unseen spirit world generally such as poltergeists, jinns, voodoo, etc.

if you have become agnostic, atheist, or just don't care since leaving, do you think that there are spirits out there or have you decided that is also hokum?

Keep the thoughts coming. Fascinating stuff.

Don't many religious texts have explanations for demons?

I've never experienced anything paranormal that I haven't debunked myself but am still open to the possibility.

Have you seen this appalling new Caleb and Sophia video??

by stuckinarut2 in

this manipulative new caleb and sophia video has got me so angry!!.

the level of cultiness has just gone to a whole new level!.

https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/children/become-jehovahs-friend/videos/make-jehovah-god-happy/.

I find it ironic and hypocritical how the Watchtower speaks against any entertainment with magic or spiritistic themes yet in their very own cartoons they depict Satan waving his hands around harnessing "magic".

I guess they justify it as being a Biblical lesson but the animators sure took artistic liberty.
