The Problem of Evil, "Free Will" and Questions of Morality
by gubberningbody injw's say that god has only the limitations he himself has placed upon himself and that he keeps faith with himself.. they further say that all evil is the result of the challenge to his sovereignty.
the time man's experienced evil is to the end of proving the rightfulness and righteousness of jehovah, his way of ruling and that he didn't create defective creatures with free will, but rather the defect was their own - they chose evil.
other things subsidiary, to these but contingent on them too.. .

JW Helter Skelter head tricks...(which I did)
by gubberningbody ini used to go to the local goodwill store and find literature that was given to people (who obviously didn't want it because it was in mint condition) with their names inside "to blah, blah w/blessings blah...." and look them up and secretly leave it back on their doorsteps late at night so when they got up the next morning this unwanted literature would be there, mocking them.... .
another thing was the laundromat fake witnessing thing... there was this one laundromat that kept trashing the mags and i'd retrieve them every day and put them back...(the same set)...then i came in after about three or four times this happened to find it shredded in the trash and so i collected the shredded bits and replaced the mags with what looked like identical copies, less the mangling.
this happened about two more times and i kept doing the same thing ( i think i had like a case of these sets because that's what you'd get from people who wanted to "help" the pio's out).

For Those Who Left And Contemplate Returning
by gubberningbody in"remember how you felt in the not-so-good times?
while we certainly remember what happened, our emotional recall dims with time.
researchers have found that the mind is biased toward positive emotional memoriesas negative emotions fade faster.

The Proud Humble People
by gubberningbody ini've noticed that there are quite a number of uneducated, unaccomplished jw's who seem to take their lack of accomplishment and education as a positive accomplishment.. the proud humble.. .
that and the constant references to people being too smart leaving the [b]organization.
"too smart?".

Why would a transcendent God do anything?
by gubberningbody ini'm stuck on that one.
the answer "love" isn't a serious answer because you can't love without an object (unless it's self love)..

Thinking out loud about God - searching concavities and convexities
by gubberningbody inbefore people imagine that "foreign"="more correct" and launch themselves off into eastern religious thought, i think one might consider the book "truth in religion", and "how to think about god - a guide for the 20th century pagan", by mortimer j. adler.
in the former he examines various religions for the claims each make with regard to "truth" and makes, a good case in my view for a rational analysis of religion as opposed to making affirmations based on emotion.
in the latter, he makes an analysis of various ways to examine what is meant when people talk about god.. .
