And lot more planning is required to make earth inhabitable

23Key to some universal truths—Queen Jezebel has it!
by venus ineven wicked queen jezebel knew ‘what is good and what is bad’ because she described those who hurt others for no reason as “good-for-nothing.” (1 king 21:10).
from her comment the following universal truths can be discerned:.
1) everyone is endowed with the knowledge of good and bad, which makes god’s communication with humans unnecessary.

This is a blessing in disguise. A reason to come out of JW org (whether from you or from them) is good enough, something you will feel good about in the future.

Just because I wrote I believe in God doesn’t mean I belong to any organization. Being born into a mixed family (Dad is a Jew, mom Christian), I had the freedom to choose religion, but I didn't. My dad is into hotel business. Each time he starts a new hotel, I know how much planning he does into it. So is the case with my mom who works as civil engineer for Bechtel Corp. Nothing happens without planning—a fact that sowed in me seeds of belief in God whom religions have only misrepresented, which in turn gave birth to atheists.

2 witness rule
by punkofnice ini'm gobsmacked.. the 7 rock star popes in warwick know darned well that the 2 witness rule allows child rapists to get away with their crime.. geoff (whacko jacko) jackson was at the australian royal commission and should have seen first hand what a vile man made law the 2 witness rule is.. my question is, why do they still insist on this pervert protecting rule?.
i know it's a highly controlling cult but still...........................stuff my old boots, mate!.
the above is more a rhetorical question.

Two-witness rule cannot be from God who would have better and more effective, foolproof method to bring the culprit to justice. See what happened when queen Jezebel misused this two-witness rule (1 king 21:10)--The innocent suffered with no help from anybody.
That means two witness arrangement is the sign that it originated from human organization.

Onager,
Behind the details, my point is that God is not using any medium--oral or written, humans or divine. Religions and scriptures are humans questions and human answers.

Cofty,
It is not God's failure, but His confidence in humans who have the ability to make earth a paradise again if only they avoid all the wastages. Some part of the earth is already paradise and devoid of any war which means if humans want, they can make the whole earth paradise again.

You nicely expanded what I left unuttered. Example of babies and dogs is really illuminating. What is observed is that everyone knows what is right and wrong—yet degree of implementation varies from person to person which makes God’s communication unnecessary. Religious leaders spoke against ego as the root cause of all human problems; yet after their death, followers continued with their ego and its divisive tendency. Germany remained divided as East Germany and West Germany for 44 years, and then showed the example of reunion; yet this good example has no effect on other countries (such as North Korea & South Korea; India & Pakistan …) who still remain divided at a very great cost to themselves. A few countries (such as Switzerland) have never taken part in any war, yet this good example has no effect on other countries. At least 108 million people were killed and many others suffered other losses in various wars in the twentieth century alone. (http://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/06/books/chapters/what-every-person-should-know-about-war.html) And there were 263 wars fought in just 116 years from 1900 A.D. (http://www.war-memorial.net/wars_all.asp).
Hence, Jezebel is a symbol of all those who know what is right and do not act accordingly.

The point I wanted to highlight was that what is found practical by some may not be viewed so by others--its technicality matters not.
When a temptress (very beautiful young lady) approached Bhuddha, he addressed her "Mother, what can I do for you?" which turned her into his disciple. What is found possible by Buddha may not be viewed so by others. But that is not what matters. If it is possible for some, then it is possible for others too if they want.

Whether she proved good-for-nothing is different matter.
What is important is that even she knew what is good and what is bad
