How could a truly loving God punish you for someone else's crime? If men can accept innocent till proven guilty, does that make God less just than man?

What We Truly Deserve Is...Death, Really WT?
by JW_Rogue ini have seen this statement or similar ones popping up in the study edition of the wt lately.
whenever they talk about undeserved kindness or jesus ransom they add this little gem to get the point across.
this is sick, why do they feel the need to tear down people's self esteem?

As I recall, the information was considered so airtight that poor Colin Powell embarrassed himself in front of the UN with diagrams and charts to show the danger from the WMDs.

Absolutely no...I don't Believe what they report, at first! Remember WMD. WEPONDS OF MASS DESTRUCTION?... they reported this as a fact, but it was not.
They were told by our government that the weapons were real, and reported on that information.
Today, on the other hand, the right wing media reports something, and the government thinks it's real.
Quite a difference.

This is What I Would Need in Order to Believe
by cofty insometimes theists challenge atheists about what evidence would be required before they would believe.
various unlikely scenarios are offered in reply.
i have taken the bait myself in the past.. i think the correct answer is much more ordinary.

Getting back to the original question. When I die and am suddenly resurrected on a paradise earth, or at the pearly gates, or perhaps in another dimension, I'll believe.

Maybe they can come up with a no blood transplant card that will allow Witnesses to donate organs to recipients who won't accept transfusions. Then they can do what they want. The rest of us can use the organs with no strings attached.

Just a side note. Ever wonder how many organs would be available for heart and other transplants if organized religion encouraged saving lives by donating organs after death?

Pastor is charged with medical neglect of girl..Fundamentalist Christian sect
by James Mixon inby michael rubinkam" the associated press" reading pa...interesting case, "he(pastor) was well aware of the fact that this child was in need of medical treatment and he never reported it, nor do i believe that he ever had the intention to report it," berks county district attorney john adams, whose office is prosecuting foster...foster, 72 pastor of a faith tabernacle congregation church in eastern pennsylvania, was charged with felony this month under a state law requiring clergy members,teachers and other "mandated reporters" to turn the names of suspected child abusers over to authorities.
the law makes no exception for clergy who happen to be related to the abused child.
with a routine course of antibiotics, 2-year-old ella foster would have almost certainly beaten the pneumonia that took her life...

Here in Oregon another death from a faith healing church that already has two members in prison for failing to get treatment for a sick child. In this case, a newborn infant in obvious distress died after an at home birth.
Of course, the Witnesses are totally aghast at a church that would allow this to happen, and soundly condemning them.

Her denial of influence by the Org has all the classic markers of JW doublespeak. "It was my choice".
