God was the cause of the evil

by opusdei1972 in

bart ehrman noticed, in his book "god's problem", the fact that god was responsible for job's pain.

to show it, bart quoted the following verse:.

and they showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil that the lord had brought upon him.

James 1:13 When under trial let no one say he's being tried by God, for with evil things God does not try anyone nor he himself will be tried.

I'm quoting from memory so it might not be verbatim from the NWT. BUT...

How does that compare with ...the calamity that Jehovah had allowed to come upon him. OR ...for all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him.

You allow the Evil one to try an innocent man with boils ,diseases, death to his family, impoverish him ; and then say you aren't hobnobbing with Evil.or allow anyone to be tried by Evil?

Can't help but feel sorry for her and her children. Imagine the KH ripping her to shreds with their shunning, snickers and backbiting! Just hope the kids don't find out- too soon.

Have yu heard of Nancy Drew?

She'd stick a comma-and a period too

Into a poem without much ado

Lower your guard

And she'd apostrophe you

Don't ever punk this punctuation mama

She'd throw you into inverted commas

And if she don't- I warningly fess

Her pardner will -thats Compound Complex

What Exactly are the Governing Body Members of the Jehovah's Witnesses trying to sell themselves As ?

by Finkelstein in

the watchtower corporation has been in existence for over 100 years now, originally headed by presidents and slew of recognized executive directors known as governing body members.. in 1919 the then president of the wts j rutherford proclaimed that god has exclusively chosen him and the wts as its earthly chosen organization among all other christian based faiths.. was this just a calculated self marketing ploy to create validation and to draw attention to the wts published works ?

the gb today still uses the assertion that god is backing this organization with that attaining exclusivity by god, jehovah blesses are work and jehovah had offered this, is constant reiterated in about every talk during most jws meetings.

is this just intentional adverse brainwashing ?

Eat flesh and drink blood !! I've gotta wait for my Draculian canines to kick in.

Can't go to a memorial. Doctor says my memory's faded.

Been to the 9/11 and other war memorials around the country. Guy says I've used up all my memorial passes for the year.

I don't need reminders- thank you - of a bunch of idiots passing around a single glass of wine . In eerie silence. Without touching a drop. But watching it with haunted, stupid, unblinking looks. As if it's gonna grow a vein and flow invisibly from the receptacle to a dumb -dub oracle in a flaming miracle!!.

I've been inoculated- against vampirish tastes!
