If God And His Thoughts Are Perfect - How Did Humans & Satan Become Evil?
by Latin assassin from Manhattan inthis question may not make too much sense.
if a man creates a computer, using the best parts and software design with the intent of analyzing data accurately and reliably, would he also design it with the ability or freedom to 'crash' or spread viruses to other computers if it chose to?
if a man trains a dog with the intent of being a family pet, would he also give it the knowledge to kill humans or other animals?

The Idiocy of the Universal Sovreignty Issue
by Black Man indoes anyone else have trouble processing the logic behind the wts issue of universal sovreignty?
why empower satan to make claims and give him the time and circumstances to prove his claims?
why have a bet between 2 people decide the fate of the universe?

You're so right.....I wonder if we pro-rated all the work done for the publishing company, how much reparations would be owed to us.

What Made You Leave The "Truth"? Was It False Prophecy, People, Blood, etc.
by minimus injw's like to believe that people who leave the organization do it for selfish reasons or due to impatience and not "waiting on jehovah".
there's a variety of reasons for persons making the decision and saying, "that's it!
i'm not doing this anymore".

What is PERFECTION?
by Black Man inwe were always taught that in the new world mankind would reach perfection (clean thoughts, ultimate health, perfect food).
my thing is that there is no such thing as perfection.
life wasn't perfect, even at the beginning.

Life wasn't perfect, even at the beginning. If so, you wouldn't have had Satan entertaining thoughts to usurp God's Sovreignty, you wouldn't have had MAJOR rebellion in heaven, etc, etc. Everything is always explained away with the FREE MORAL AGENT ANALOGY, but one constant about life is that NOTHING'S PERFECT...
