  WHY does God fail to...

  by Martini in

  ...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!

  Seven, the post by 'Searching1' came from the same IP as the other trouble posts so I can only assume it is the same person.
  I think I've swapped Emails with martini a few times before this forum (the we both realised who we were) so I think he's quite genuine.
  All these posts by the troublemakers are just tricks to try and disrupt things - get us turning on each other.

  Yes, I wouldn't put too much store by the country that is in the users profile. People enter this themselves and can put whatever they want.

  Some Basics...

  okay, it appears that some of you are venturing forth onto the literary scene.

  i feel it my obligation to present to you a few basic faux pas that should be avoided if you are going to survive in this very volatile environment.

  today, the emphasis is on being politically correct.

  Rules and Regulations

  2. friends

  ok, it seems like we need to start setting up some rules and regulations as 'common sense' doesn;t seem to work for everyone.. rule 1. no personal attacks / insults.

  feel free to submit any rules (or guidelines) that you think would help.

  Yes, I don't want to get into having lots of rules. Unfortunately not everyone is sensible or considerate of others.
  We'll just have to see how things go I guess.

  You are obviously not here to discuss things and are just attempting to disrupt other peoples use of this forum.
  This is a polite request to stop.
  Thank you

  Hey trust me...it will be easier to use...honest
  And a bargain at just $0.00 for the upgrade. Alternatively, you can get a years subscription for $0.00 (USD).

  Hi Lars_Ulrich
  I get the impression that our discussions about the WatchTower Bible & Tract Society and the doubts that many Jehovah's Witnesses are having bothers you a great deal - it must do or else you wouldn't have bothered to make that post.
  However, this is no excuse for mocking people who have genuine concerns and want to discuss them with others.
  At one time I was exactly like you and, I'm afraid to say, I even defaced someone's web site who I considered 'an evil apostate'. Now I am ashamed of what I did because I understand things a bit more fully.
  Maybe when you understand more and don't have such a narrow view of things you can come back and join in meaningful discussion. Until then though, feel free to visit Witnesse.Net or WitnessesOnline.com where I am sure you will be happy discussing what your favourite color is and other safe topics.

  Hi y'all
  Sorry about the password problem you've been having and for being so quiet. You may find it easier to tick the '...remember logon details' when you posts. This automatically enters your username & password with each post.
  I'm hard at work on the next version of the software which should make things a lot easier and add some snazzy new features.
  Waiting's right - I'm the resident techie and leave all the deep conversations to the others
  Cheers
