Can love and the tolerance of evil be compatible?
by truthseeker inthe age old question, "why does god permit suffering" is probably the first question people ask about god.
for years, the wt answer satisfied me - the universal issue of sovereignty, proving the devil a liar, allowing enough time for humans to try every form of government and so on.... then i tried to understand the nature of free will, that god's love allows for both ends of the morality spectrum to happen - extremely good acts and extremely evil acts.
after all, a loving god couldn't withold free will from his creatures because that would make us robots.. i've come to realize now that this is not a satisfactory answer either, because when you make something intelligent and give it free will, you may not be responsible for what it does, but you are responsible for it.. parents know that if they leave their children in a car on a hot summer's day, their children can die from heat stroke.

Next time a JW knocks at your door.....
by yknot inwhy not accept the offer to study two jw books, in return that the caller study the franz books?
it would be fairly easy to set up a study schedule and questions.. what is the worse that could happen?
someone desparate enough for a study to agree or the caller getting back in the car and marking your house with a big fat red a on the territory map.. thank you for considering my moment of apostate evilness.. y.

Most people would say that practising any religion is better than not......
by JH inmost believers think that it's better to practise any religion than to act like an animal and not practise any.. even my dad who used to dislike the jw's when he was alive, told me once, "you're better off going back to that religion, than not practising any religion at all".
i'm a believer like he was, but it's funny how most believers will say that practising any religion is better than not practising any.. jw's wouldn't agree, because they think that only their religion is the right one, even though a wrong religion may have a postive influence on somebody's behavior and happiness.. the only thing a jw looks at is the carrot "eternal life".
they won't look at the good that may come out of practising another religion.. after my jw experience, i won't go to any other religion.
