  Deputydog:- i always remember at art school we had a project, which involved everybody drawing a wikar chair. Now mine was brilliant!!

  Ok it was good, but this boy next to me kept looking at mine and saying it was brilliant. When i looked at his drawing it was rubbish. What could i say? Well i said " nice use of color" . Well he got such confidence from that he is now an artitect

  my point being you can't write about things unless you live them. And to be fair i think many posters on this thread have used THERE colors very respectfully and have looked for the positive in other peoples belives, but nobody on this thread will change the thinking of another no matter how good the argument.

  And this a long thread about the God of theism( i am not sure what theism is) but as for the God of events on THOSE days, most of the replys are from those that were not in the crowd on THOSE days, but from people that were many miles away. There were scenes from Dante...we were not there. Our mothers and sisters were not there. Yes we can clench our fists and say " where was God". Why did not the angles save my loved ones? But i can answer this thread. No one anywhere can answer this question for me?

  Cofty: My friend who lost her 3 friends. Those friends were 3 girls under 18. I am friends with one the childs parents and there life as they new it was gone in a minute ...i all these years later am grateful for their God, it gave them comfort. Myself i am furious because of what happend. But they needed a church and a God .

  I think people need see the dead as humun beings with souls and not animals. This leaves people with memories and hope and make it easier to put the head on the pillow at night. Otherwise what is the point of a new day?

  Sorry Cofty i hadn't read the entire thread, and your correct.

  And as for the events of 2004 i lost my business partner, with his wife and a swedish friend of mine lost he 3 friends on that day.

  My business partner had his funneral at the cathederal in St Albans with his dead wife and it was important for everyone that God was at that Cathederal.

  I mean for me God wasn't there but he was and it was a comfort for the families...( it took many months for the funneral because of identifying bodies and death certificates) .....so ( little emotional now) but at that funneral God was needed...i mean i know his family didn't belive but they got comfort in believing....and i realized i could never totally loose my faith, even thouugh its dead and buried...you see Cofty i dont believe in God but with tragetu and death we need reasom mainly:

  Writting this is as yesterday, David and his wife and my friends 3 children were not the last, not yet Cameron died in a car crash, family tragedy my parents await in hopelessness the death sentence...we arrange to meet again. uggggg

  So i can not say God is an orgy that likes these sad events, nor can i say at death we return to our fathers house. But i think we should never open the trap door on all probability God doesnt have a plan. Some people need that.

  Why do you come here?

  by love2Bworldly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i come here to learn, but i also come here because it feels like a private club and i'm privy to be a member of the "in" crowd.

  it's a great place to socialize.

  does anyone else feel that they are a member of a special "club" when they come here, that only some people in this world will understand the jw world?.

  Ucantomone: thats a good point many people come here to selfishly help and answer questions of those seeking to escape the W.T.

  Dear Administrator,

  I wish to apply for the position of " answering questions" on your site. I have good communication skills and am very anti watchtower. I can also count to 10.

  If successful i understand i will be responsible for the welfare of all those that seek answers and believing they will never die. I am not sure what your exact policy is for recruiting but i have a theocratic ministry education and use a deodrent.

  Kind regards

  Ex Bro Mike.

  These days i am faced with a lot of leisure time, and i dont want to squander these periods of leisire just watching the leaves fall . So i have planned my viewing strategy and familiarized myself with the remote control and i am now so confident i can locate the volume button swiftly and painlessly, in case my kid awakes.

  No thats one thing i learnt as a witness the T.V is not my best friend. I love Autimn and its beauty...almost as much as i love my collection American T.V westerns ....and i got both now i dont have those meetings to attend.

  Well who is the God of this thread? Otherwise i think we can go off topic.

  I think the God of this thread has denied access to chocolate bars and fattening sweets sich as sticky toffee pudding to the worlds starving Millions. Is this an act of love? I mean there's no dilemma for them, no temptation to divert them from if they are lucky a doet of rice.

  I mean isn't it ridiculous, though that half the world is starving when we sit here on our computers with full fridges debating god and as for me doing nothing personally for the syarving millions.

  I wonder what happens to starving people when they first start to get hungry. Do they see things in a funny way? I know i do and i am a bit peckish, but i skipped my breakfeast. Needless to say i will have an extra big lunch and maybe even join this debate again...as if you care anyway?

  But does the God of this thread care about me? Thats what matters not that he cares about the starving millions....
