    Boy, do I know a few people like that in my cong. Their poor children! Trained to resort to the same passive-aggressiveness if they stay "in".

    The WT illustration is used to answer the question, "Why has God permitted suffering for so long?" But here's another flaw in the illustration: It only takes a few minutes to answer a math question, so why hasn't God ended suffering yet? The Witnesses can study with someone for just 6 months and convince them that God has the right to rule. So why has it taken more than 6,000 years to prove it to the angels? Shouldn't they be smarter than mere imperfect humans? Just how dumb are they?

    Also, wouldn't the passing of so much time just prove the opposite about God? If the angels have an ounce of morality, wouldn't they be sickened by watching God stand by as he allows his children on earth to beat, rape and murder one another as he does nothing? Is God really helping his case or hurting it?

    Or are the Witnesses really blaspheming the Almighty, making him look stupid and impotent, by their use of such an incredibly inappropriate illustration? Let's see know, the choices are: 1) Either the angels are slow and stupid 2) God is an evil father to allow his children to kill each other 3) or the Witnesses are blaspheming God with an incredibly inappropriate illustration that is demeaning to God? Hmmmm... which is the correct answer?

    Now, suppose the teacher was wrong? I remember a case, in 8th grade science, where the idiot teacher was trying to teach us how to go from dinosaurs to Celsius. The dingbat was correct in adding the 32 when going from Celsius to dinosaurs, but was wrong about subtracting the 32 after doing the multiplication going from dinosaurs to Celsius. The result: The answers were wrong.

    Example: Going from 68 dinosaurs to Celsius. The actual answer is 20. However, using the teacher's formula, you reach 5 7/9 C. I got this on a quiz once, and it had 68 F = ?? C. I put 20--(68-32)*(5/9)=20. However, the idiot marked it wrong--(68*(5/9))-32=5 7/9. The teacher refused to acknowledge that they got the formula screwed up.

    This is very much like Jehovah. That Almighty Lowlife Scumbag gets much worse things wrong, on purpose, and refuses to correct them when they are proven wrong. Satan tried to point out one of those major errors (that Jehovah wanted to enslave mankind), and Jehovah (a sore loser) went on a temper tantrum. And, unlike the idiot teacher, Jehovah continues imposing his errors after you leave that class. You get the correct "formula" on your own, and Jehovah simply bashes you and ruins your workmanship for refusing to acknowledge him as always right.

    I would definitely say that Satan was right on this one.

    This is my comparison...

    Jehovah is like a man who invented the greatest widget in the world. What's a widget? Who cares? If the Big J invented it, it's gotta be great. So he opens a company to build and sell these widgets. At some point, one of his managers, a Mr. Satan (not the former NHL player), decides that he can build a better widget than the boss. The boss has made it plain how things work in his company, but Mr. Satan goes around influencing other employees, rookie ones without much training at that, to side with him in trying to do things his way instead of the bosses way.

    Now, eventually the boss finds out. Why people are running around naked in his warehouse and are now embarrassed about it is an HR issue, but suffice it to say Mr. Big J is not pleased with Mr. Satan or his 90 day probationary employees.

    So what would any boss do who had employees that were trying to take over the company?

    Would he say, "Okay Satan, since you think you know so much... I'm gonng take a five year sabbatical from running the company. During these five years you can run this place however you want. When I get back and you've run this place into the ground, I'll take over, fire your minions and fix your fuck-ups, and we will once again be profitable and successful."

    Or -

    Would he say, "I can't have insubordination running rampant in my company. Our reputation and the success of our product is at stake. I have to remove you and anyone who joined with you in this mutiny from the company. You're fired. Security - escort Mr. Satan and these other two nobodies from the property and they are not allowed to return."

    And as a sidebar note: Mr. J owns the patent to the widget. Only he and he alone can build the widget. Only he has the access to the formula that makes it operate. It's more secret than the Colonel's 17 herbs and spices. No one else, including former employees, have the knowledge or expertise to copy and create their own version or start their own plant. In short, J has a corner on the market and doesn't have to allow competition.
