i get tired of using the argument of "the mystery of evil" to attack god but where are we when we see heroic acts of godly courage from great humans like dr. kent bradly and dr. nancy writebols wonderful works of love?

did you listen to dr. kent bradley's concern and loving compassion for west africa?

he's not angry superstitious mobs destroyed several make-shift medical facilities to treat victims of ebola, no, dr. bradly implored the world to "help save west africa".

So if healings "prove" there is a god, wouldn't complete lack of healing prove there isn't a god?

Oops, Christians don't like to consider the other side of that coin.

A Kindlier More Gentle Jehovah?

"for you must not prostrate yourself to another god, because jehovah, whose name is jealous, he is a jealous god," exodus 34:14 nwt 1984 edition.

"you must not bow down to another god, for jehovah is known for requiring exclusive devotion.

yes, he is a god who requires exclusive devotion.
AndDontCallMeShirley

How then did the 'scholars' that translated this new NEW WORLD TRANSLATION (2013 edition) make the intellectual jump of converting the word JEALOUS into the phrase 'REQUIRING EXCLUSIVE DEVOTION'?

1. WT does not have, and never has had, any scholars in its ranks.

2. Intellect has little to do with anything WT does.

3. "intellectual dishonesty". Bingo! You've hit upon WT's bread and butter.

I get tired of using the argument of "The Mystery of Evil" to attack God but where are we when we see heroic acts of godly courage from great humans...

Ironically, if the Christian god was actually doing what Christians claim he's doing ( a loving father who's helping his children), these doctors wouldn't be necessary, would they?

I get tired of anything good being attributed to god by the religious while all evil is conveniently shelved under the nauseatingly generic "bad things just happen, why blame god?" category...

i don't know a single desktop user (e.g.

architects, engineers running autocad, solid works, etc.

Microsoft wasn't doing any thinking...that's the problem.

I curse the day I started using Win 8 (not that I had any choice).

BD: If you repeat something enough times you're most likely to believe its' true.

Watchtower is in good company. Hitler used the same methodology:

"Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it." -Adolf Hitler

problemaddict: Jehovah's Witnesses - Misspelling the word website since they discovered the internet in 2011!

Since JWs are the 'best educated people in the world', everyone else must be wrong.

There is a lot of research into this disease and money being raised to find a cure.

Money and research only reveal a lack of faith.

The Kingdom will fix it. Until god gets around to curing ALS (tens of thousands of years and counting) humans must show "faith" and wait (and wait, and wait, and wait) on the "loving" father Jehovah™.

(yes, I'm being facetious).

.

The evil, wicked Satan and his world: money and research, actually doing something.

The "loving father" Jehovah: ***crickets****

ALS is a medical condition, how exactly does preaching fight ALS?

Kate, haven't you heard? Preaching fixes everything. It's the best alternative to actually doing something.

Preaching also cures AIDS, cancer, hunger in Africa, disease, crime and war. That's why the world no longer has any of those things...

"The elders evidently spent much time and effort to help you restore your reltionship with Jehovah God."

LOL. They can't even resist inserting an "evidently" in a letter.

"Clearly" WT drones are dumbasses.

Is the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society a Secretive Organization?

isn't secrecy the same as occultish when it comes to a religious organization?.
AndDontCallMeShirley

WT even keeps secret who its Bible "translation" committees are and who writes its books and magazine content.

No, it's not a secret organization.

"True religion in no way practices secretiveness." --W 6/1/97. p.6

.

"Flock" book: secret

Pages 2 and 3 of the recent BOE letter Re: new donation arrangement: secret

WT's finances: secret

etc.

etc.

etc.

By WT's own mouth, they are NOT the true religion.
