That question make a lot of assumptions that just aren't true. It's a rather silly question.

Unloving would be intent to cause harm , would it not ?
So it would not be unloving to watch your child drown if you didn't throw them in the water?

Could i possily be one of the sealed?
by msconcerned ini went to the meeting last night, (with the start of a beard) and going throught he book study i had a thought.
god our "heavenly father" wants us to have a personal relationship with him because he is love.
well my brain disconnected from this thinking because if the bible was "written primarily for the anointed" and the benefits in the bible can only be mine because of "association" with the anointed, then i can never have a personal relationship with god or jesus.

This goes against the JW theodicy, which is that, when A&E sinned, they opened up man to suffer the consequences of living life outside of the Garden and without God's blessing.
They were told to "fill the earth", would the garden have extended to tsunami prone areas? If so, would God have stopped the tsunami and saved people if only a naked rib-woman hadn't eaten an apple a talking snake said was good?

The exact details of the eschatology seemingly changes by the minute, so only a pedant would care where it currently is...
Says the person than just wrote a long post talking about it.

I suppose cofty will say, though, that this is outside the scope of the discussion because he's only interested in why God (Jehovah, etc.) would design a planet that has natural disasters occur on it.
If you have an answer that harmonizes with the qualities JWs assign to God, please present it.

Even though we know it's only a pipe-dream, it actually offers the most-sophisticated and loving approach to the problem of evil ('natural' or otherwise), claiming EVERYONE who dies before Armageddon (from Hitler to the most-innocent child, overlooking the WT's flip-flops on Sodomites, etc), will be given a second-chance, resurrected into a paradise Earth and given another opportunity to prove their loyalty to a loving God, under conditions where Satan (always the scapegoat) is confined for 1,000 years.
Except that's not what the JW eschtatology teaches.
The JW's answer seems to be the most-suitable to fulfill his criteria, but only he can explain why it failed for him.
You clearly don't know JW eschtatology.
That's the answer to the question I posed above, when I asked 'what changed'?
Perhaps you should start a topic of your own rather than drag this one off topic with your own musings.
Well, then, you only have to reflect back on your own experience: did you actually even BELIEVE in God, and in the promise of the New System?
Once again, OT. Start your own topic if there is something you need help grasping.

Flamegrilled, do you have any intention of succintly laying out the big picture? So far all we have to go on from you are broken analogies and an argument proven to be logically useless in decision making, yet you claim you still have an argument to make.
Can we see it?
