hi- are jw's to be blamed or pitied for their cold, callous unloving ways?- sugarbritches

'Not in the least. What I'm saying is that Jehovah is unwilling to accept responsibility of negative outcomes of his own actions, yet exacts punishment from "wrongdoers" far beyond those who are responsible for the wrongdoing. Seems very hypocritical to me, that's all.'

We're all responsible for our own actions though. My mum never braught me up to hit people. I hit someone the other day. Therefore I'm responsible. Not my mother.

If i was you, i could for debates sake, say 'well mum, you in the end, got me born, so therefore, i blame you for hitting this lad.'

Why do you think he braught his son jesus down to earth?

I don't like to call it arguing. I prefer debating.

I think of the bible as a driving book. You read the book and get to learn how to drive. Like alot of people beginning to drive, they ask others how they drive, how fast they should go, what to do in certain situations, until it gets to a point their own judgements are clouded and don't follow the proper procedures.

I'll stick to the bible for my answers . Maybe you'd like to come up with ur answer another day. I'll wait.

well. If satan did cause the first sin of humans, i guess i can blame Satan for everything.

I don't think Satan caused the Tsunami but why blame God? Why not blame Satan?

It does say that Jehovah will allow wicked things to happen for a short time. So, theres nothing wrong here.

And yes, I get my information from the bible...unless you think you're wiser?

Nah, I'm not brainwashed. Though...maybe i've been brainwashed to say that!

non JWs will say JWs are brainwashed. And you'll get JWs saying Non-JWs are brainwashed.

I believe i have the truth.

'Hi- are JW's to be blamed or pitied for their cold, callous unloving ways?'

this is just too general a statement. Ofcourse there will be ones like that. The majority I know are the opposite of that.

For the post above me. If you know that Satan ''the god of this system of things."( 2 Corinthians 4:4 ) how can you direcetly blame jehovah for that?

Eat, Drink, and be Merry !!!!

i remember the jws used to criticize the "eat, drink, and be merry" philosophy "for tomorrow we might die" and i used to think that it was a good thing that i was doing something worthwhile with my life instead of being distracted with the material things, or fleshly things of the world.

that the philosophy was so fatalistic, that tomorrow we might all be dead and anyone believing in the "eat, drink, and be merry" philosophy were all so hedonistic.

today, i hear that and have different feelings towards the saying and philosophy.

Dustin: The JW ways are just plain stupid! Why not have some fun in life? Good call. :( you're going against posting guidelines. Heartless. :( What I find funny is that people believe you can only have a good time by getting drunk out of their skulls. Oh no, we miss christmas...and easter? :'( it's not alot really, a few days of the year that are seen as the only times of happyness, and us poor JW's can't have a good time. There's more to being happy than having parties, and getting drunk. It's kind of a narrow minded viewpoint with not much thought. Yes, the bible does say about drinking wine, but not to the extent that we're drunk and out of control of our actions.
