not according to c.t russell.
in the september 15, 1910 wt he made these shocking claims regarding the 6 scripture studies that he wrote:.
"that is to say, they are not merely comments on the bible, but they are practically the bible itself...".
Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianty
have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; Yet we have not advance an inch
towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half
the world fools, and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all
over the earth..Thomas Jefferson..They were men of The Enlightment

I agree, the WT takes away Jesus love. My two cents in regards to the horrible acts in the OT.
Who cause the flood that wipe out 99.9% of mankind, for what, it didn,t work we still have
evil.The ISRAELITES WAS TOLD BY God to wipe out those UnGodly people, it didn,t work
we still have people who worship Satan today. Bro Dan what if all the nations of the world
declared genocide on Germany after WW2, What would that accomplish. From day one,
God or someone that profess to speak in Gods name have not accomlish much. The
world is still the same since Adam. When our human consciousness begain to (lets say)
grow, mankind realize we can not go around cutting off people hands because they
stole some food or remove someone eyes because they sin with thier eyes. That
method do not work. Oh, one more thought some of our founding Fathers of this
Country did not believe in the Bible.
we all understand the justice argument against hell: the idea that god might decide that a wicked person's sins merit everlasting conscious punishment offends our sense of justice.. do even hitler's sins merit never-ending conscious punishment for all eternity?.
we know that the wtbts takes an annihilationist view of the "everlasting" punishment described by the bible.. they teach that there is no separate "soul" or "spirit" that survives physical death and that the ultimate fate of the unrepentant wicked is annihilation by jehovah.. let's assume for the sake of argument that they are right.. is this justice?.
over the years, the wtbts has flip-flopped on whether or not these wicked people will be resurrected for purposes of judgment or whether they simply will remain dead with no hope of any sort of resurrection.. let's look at various possibilities.
yes I believe capital punishment..

Vander I agree, I served in Viet Nam. Found a scripture, what,s your veiw?
Deu;20;14 Laws about siege--but the women and the little ones, the cattle, and
everything else in the city, all its spoil, you shall take as booty for yourselves; and
shall ENJOY THE SPOIL OF YOUR ENEMIES,WHICH THE LORD YOUR GOD HAS GIVEN YOU.

vander; ok you are right, rape was not Gods will, but could he have prevented what
took place in Gen;6;2 The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair; and they took wife such as they
chose, rape.. Now what will be A fitting punishment for Hitler, someone mention suppose Hitler was
A nut due to his mental retardation, which he was. We are talking about punishment by God not what
we need to do to make it safe for society. The bible tells us to hate the act not the person.
My veiw on fitting punishment, A 1/3 of the Angels turn on God , he created. The first man Adam
blew it , defective from the start, created by God. I know we were created with A free will but if
someone have mental problems what punishment will God give that person? I beleive that
all people that have committed mass murder (Hilter,ISRAELITES,)SHOULD recieve the same
punishment. Killing in the name of God just don,t do it for me...

What is the difference between Hitler atrocities and the atrocities of the Israelites on
thier way too the promise land. Oh I forgot, it was God will to plunder, rape, kill (babies, animals)
and to destroy everything in sight. You do not need to be unrepentant or repentant if God told
you to kill. We have people in jails today that God told them to kill.

are we afraid of complicated information?
the many details we have discovered about the universe?
how about the great number of planetary systems, or the number of planets that are within life-nurturing distance to their stars?
I am sure you have heard this comment, God create this universe for us. Are you nuts.
What value it have for us when we can only veiw A small percent of the universe.
We are like A pimple on A whale ass, no factor whatsoever . Maybe God have A bigger
plan, some time in the future A million years from now we will travel too distant planets
and populate 1/64 0f the universe. The complication comes up when one realize the
Bible makes it complicated when one try to understand the reasons for the endless
universe and how we fit in. The whale can live his whole life and die and never
realize he had A pimple on his ass. This is how I feel with our role in the universe.
the wt has really managed to outdo itself in regards to stupid, poorly researched articles attempting to defend ancient myths as literal history.
the latest effort is the cover article "the garden of eden - myth or fact?".
no moderately educated adult should have to ponder that question for long before answering "myth".
ziddiana; (sumerian civilization located between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers)
also Eden. Guess what after the flood those two rivers are still there. What is the odds
A world wide flood that would change the earth land mass, and after sailing for A year
and you end up in the same location, between the Tigris and the Euphrates. Whats
with that location, all desert waste land. I guess Noah craft A large anchor so he
would remain in the same location , God forbid if he got lost after the flood.
