You read it here first:

WHY WOULD A LOVING GOD PERMIT WICKEDNESS?

Note to the speaker:

Present answers that first-time attenders can grasp. Strengthen the faith of Jehovah’s Witnesses who may struggle with this question when tragedy strikes them personally

GOD HATES THE EVIL OF SATAN’S WORLD (5 min.)

Victims of accidents, crime, war, terrorism, and disasters, often ask, “Why?” ( g 11/06 3-9)

Have you wondered why a loving God would permit evil things to occur?

Even faithful servants of God pondered that question [Read Habakkuk 1:3]

Some people conclude that God does not care about humans

The Bible reveals that God hates suffering and injustice (Jg 2:18; Pr 6:16-19)

Jehovah felt hurt at heart because of all the badness in Noah’s day, and his hatred of wickedness has not changed (Ge 6:5, 6)

Be assured that God is never the source of wickedness (Job 34:10; Jas 1:13)

WHY GOD HAS TOLERATED WICKEDNESS (20 min.)

So why does a loving, just, and all powerful God permit the evil of Satan’s world? ( w02 10/1 5-6)

A common misconception is that God directly controls every situation

However, Jesus identified Satan the Devil as “the ruler of the world,” the one responsible for wickedness (Joh 14:30; 1Jo 5:19)

Satan, “the father of the lie,” has seduced wicked angels and humans to join him in rebelling against God (Joh 8:44; Jude 6)

Jehovah has permitted evil to exist for the past 6,000 years in order to settle the issues raised by Satan once and for all time (Ge 3:1-6)

Satan questioned Jehovah’s right to rule ( bh 109-110 pars. 10-11)

Has independence from God brought true freedom and lasting happiness? No!

Human rule has resulted in war, oppression, suffering, and death (Ec 8:9; Ro 8:22; w13 9/1 3-5)

Jehovah well knows the pains we suffer and promises to bring relief (Ex 3:7; 2Co 1:3, 4)

Jehovah assured Habakkuk that He had set an “appointed time” to eliminate injustice and oppression (Hab 2:3-5)

Jesus has already begun to “break up the works of the Devil” (1Jo 3:8)

How comforting to know that all suffering will soon end! (Ps 37:9-11; 72:12-14; w13 9/1 6-7)

The patience of our loving God means salvation for “the meek” (Ps 149:4; Jer 29:11, 12; 2Pe 3:9)

EXPERIENCE “THE REAL LIFE” FREE FROM SUFFERING (5 min.)

If you have sincerely cried out to God asking why, then listen to him by taking to heart his message of comfort and hope [Read Revelation 21:4; 22:1, 2]

Any damage experienced in this system of things will be reversed [Read Isaiah 65:17]

In the meantime, hope in Jehovah and imitate the patient attitude of faithful ones, past and present (Hab 3:16-18; Heb 6:9-12)

As you continue to support God’s sovereignty, you will soon experience “the real life” free of all wickedness (1Ti 6:19)

[Adhere closely to the outlined material, and observe the indicated timing of each section. Not all cited texts need to be read or commented on.

Yeap. See if they change certain things from here to next year...

LOL! This is similar to what sparked my last go-round with JWs. They came to the door with an article of "Is god cruel"?

And of course the god described by the bible is in so many ways. God tolerate wickeness to prove a point? He's not only been wicked himself, he's meddling in the outcome. If he really wanted to let things set to prove who's best, why meddle? Why send Jesus and other prophets?

I wish there were a way to know when my local congregation had this talk. I'd have a few questions for the speaker.

notsurewheretogo

Still doesn't make sense...God loved the world so much they He gave his only son but he didn't love the world that much to forgo a dick measuring competition with an angel that means pain, anguish, suffering and death for everyone on the planet...

Tell the person in Syria who is getting raped and tortured that it is ok as sometime in the future God will sort it all out...they won't give a flying fcuk...

Bugh, the circular reasoning and cherry picking of scripture is the worst. OT God is a murdering narcissistic a-hole. NT Yahweh, pretty cool dude, except he's flaky and continues to leave his people waiting for some 2,000 years now.

Isn't this the same shit they have been saying for decades? What is new and exciting here to be included in a "special talk"?

Has independence from God brought true freedom or lasting happiness? Has it been given a fair chance? Or, could it be that every time Satan was about to succeed in doing so, joke-hova always stepped in and created a mess so that thing would now offer to clean it up while blaming Satan for creating the mess? Seems every time Satan is about to succeed, god always ruins it.

And to enslave the human race. What joke-hova really planned was to do just that. By removing all traces of rebellion, that thing would make us all ripe to be enslaved. People that do not rebel will not offer resistance when herded into compounds, or when their masters abuse them. They do not complain when they are pulled off from Africa to be sold as slaves, while the white people are blamed (actually, it was the Jews, Christians, and Muslims that did the dirty work and financed it--Rothschilds, anyone?). They also do not complain when Africa, Asia, and Latin America see their culture infested with Judeo-Christian and/or Muslim forces. Such trash native culture, destroying it and corrupting the countries. This is why Africa is in such bad shape to this day--Nigeria is half Christian and half Muslim. Given its native culture, Nigeria would have remained a fine country where Blacks would have had their culture, pure and undisturbed. But no, the Christians and Muslims pillaged this. All to enslave the human race.

And in the name of joke-hova, jesus, or allah. But, they are quick to blame Satan who is actually against this kind of messing up the human race and spreading these lies through the world. Satan is also against groups of scumbags that pull Negroes out of Africa to be sold as slaves (and blame White people), while trashing Africa so the Negroes would not wish to return to that continent, with a pure Black culture. Satan wanted the Blacks left alone to develop their own culture, not yanked out by some xian scumbags to be sold as slaves.

And the jokehovian witlesses are no better. They don't yank Africans out of Africa to enslave them--they just send people into Africa so those sent in can be enslaved. This also effectively enslaves Africans without their having to leave Africa, and without having to go to the Rothschilds to finance expeditions to other lands. Of course, they are forced to work in corrupted lands. All the while, they blame Satan for the corrupted conditions created by Christi-SCAM-ity.
