Why does an Omni... God need Jesus and the 144,000 co-rulers?

by jwfacts in

at the thread about jaracz steve2 made the following interesting comment.

by now, ted should be finding his heavenly posting a routinized bore: 4 years and still counting.

he will have chaffed at the notion that all decisions are made by jehovah god who consults no one and who brooks no questioning or independent thinking.

So if god can't understand us fully, or know us fully, or know just how a human judge would think and act and empathize.... To the point that he needs a spirit who was once fleshly to help... Then he isn't omniscient and he isn't qualified to make rules for people he doesn't fully understand. He also wouldn't be fair in judging humans as the bible says he has done all along, if he can't really understand or know what they went through or what might have caused their decisions.

I hadn't seen the video. I wasn't going to watch it.

I thought the Vimeo link was a joke for the first 5 minutes... Then I realized it was not a parody... It was the REAL thing, so i turned it off. The fake corniness of this thing is unbelievable.

Getting a job in the big city is evil! omg... Angry older brother is so responsible! He knows how to load a ladder BEFORE breakfast. jeez.... THIS is what people have been begging me to watch!?!?

Ah, but thruthbeknown... He didnt wash his hands of them. He caused a flood to wipe them off the earth, then 130 years or so after that, he confused their languages to make their life hard and create prejudice and racism, then he chose a nomadic and barbaric people and helped them murder their way to a promised land, then he he had prophets and kings, he orchestrated the collapse of his people to teach them a lesson, then he empowered his people when they said sorry, then this cycle repeated a few more times and on and on.

The finger to Satan would have been not indulging his petulent little temper tantrum and instead zapping him. If god is omniscient, which is what this thread is about, then he knows everything. He made us as WT so often likes to point out. No one knows us better as they point out. So why the need for a human perspective in heaven? It's dumb.

Which parent will raise the child??? Because a man and woman couldn't live together and share that without bopping every chance they get. (Clearly this was thought up by a repressed nerdy virgin who thinks every single waking hour of married life is sex.) Idiots

Here is another question.

If being omniscient means he is all knowing, and he can see the future when he wants to... Then why the need to let Satan and any demons if his interfere for 6000 yrs? If its a foregone conclusion that Satan is wrong and all creation needs god, then he could have killed Satan if he is omnipotent. He then could easily have wiped Satans existence from the minds of all spirit creatures. If he cares so much about us, then why let us suffer? It was needless for an omni... god. Of course the standard line of a thousand yrs being a day and it's really not that long is used. But, tell that to a child who is born into slavery and suffers its entire life.

When I was a kid and was taken fishing I was bothered by the hooks imbedded in the fishes faces. The person who took me said, oh don't worry they don't feel pain like we do.

I think it's kind of like that for JWs. If they admitted and allowed themselves to believe that the people they live among love the same and live the same, they would have crazy cognitive dissonance about 7 billion upcoming deaths.

So they tell themselves its okay, they are just half human worldly people. They don't love like me. They are Satans spawns. They have no natural affection. I am one of gods people. I am different and special.

It's kind of similar to a style of racism or caste. Think the other race isn't as good and regular as you, so its okay to mistreat them.
