  International non-intervention in Syrian conflict and God's non-intervention

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  throwing this out there for discussion:.

  why do atheists curse god for not intervening in humankind's affairs to prevent or mitigate suffering and evil, yet the world stands by and basically lets syria get torn apart year by year with thousands of innocent adults and children dying, and millions having to flee their country, without the world intervening to end that terrible suffering?

  a whole generation of syrian children have been brutalised or traumatised by this never ending conflict.. the world, united states, russia, china, etc, say there is no moral right for any exernal nation to intervene in this internal syrian political conflict/war citing that it is right of each sovereign nation to self-determine it's own affairs.

  Syria has no oil. If it did, like Libya, something would have been done, like in Libya.

  Heads Up: If you are an older JW, WT has no further use for you!

  by AndDontCallMeShirley in

  wt is retiring district overseers, has sent older jws serving at bethel packing despite years of faithful service, and as of june 1, 2014, has announced that any elder that has reached 80 years of age is no longer valued or wanted as a cobe.

  in wt land it would appear that older people have little or no value, and wt sees no reason to use them in any meaningful capacity.

  i wonder how this makes older ones feel after devoting their lives to wt's interests while shelving their own hopes and dreams?.

  Totalitarian regimes regularly purge older and long time serving members in order to cement th their power and remove any chance of opposition. Look up Stalin's purges. Also the young Kim Jong Un who got power a few years ago in north Korea has purged some top brass. This gb is becoming more like a totalitarian regime so this move does not surprise me. Read Animal Farm. The pigs are turning human.

  Couples in large groups would pray, the husband praying only so his wife next to him could hear. Everyone else just said a private silent prayer. This nut pioneer ( who converted in the throes of extreme emotion after his dog died) would give a silent prayer over just coffee! Nutters gonna nut.

  It's just bright lights and shiny things to distract the sheeple from the real issues.

  Quite a few in Australia have gone to the authorities about abuse but no suing as I know. We aren't as much the suing type as Americans so Australians don't really sue for pedophiles. I know of some jws who were jailed for pedophilia ( but to the chagrin of the very few who knew about it, the pedos were free to roam in congs and assemblies) and also of cases in which the elders closed ranks and protected the sick bastards. I also know of kiddie fiddle cases that were 'taken care of' by the congregation, meaning the abuser was spoken to or reproved or something and the parent never pursued the matter further. I also knew a guy who was abused but nothing was done.

  These are my first hand accounts of pedo jws in Australia.

  It's part of how cults work. The higher up the chain you go, the more special knowledge you can have. Keeps people divided and reinforces hierarchy.

  by this measure the watchtower org is a sociopath and turns many of its followers into sociopaths too, especially in the area of attacking messengers who prove the lies wrong. All ten of those points apply to the wt org, and it does its level best to make its followers into zombie copies of itself.
