God and Suffering
by AK - Jeff ina few weeks back, in the midst of the haiti tragedy, much discussion took place in cyberland about the tolerance [or indeed the insistence on] suffering by a loving god.
the furor over haiti has settled a bit [as unfortunately most tragedy is wont to do far too quickly in the human mind], but this persistent matter continues to chew at my subconscience.
today i came across this:.

GETTING SUCKED IN? Ask the right questions to get the right answers.
by Terry init is too easy to get sucked in to the wrong argument at the wrong time.. asking the wrong question leads to the wrong answer.
a wrong answer does nobody any real good.. i once had a heated discussion with an old friend who is still an active jehovah's witness.. he came back at me with this:.
"okay, then--if jehovah's organization is a false religion, where is the true one?

Need help with how to respond to my husband
by doublelife inso i went though the whole 'generation' issue with my husband and i got him to admit that the "new light" does not make since.
but he just shrugged it off and said that the society has been wrong about other things so it's no a big deal.
the governing body are imperfect.

Did You Ever Wonder Why One Should Pray To God When God's Record Is Pretty Dismal?
by minimus ini never understood why jws were told to pray to jehovah in order to have someone change their course, open their heart, make the way---when in reality it is like asking for a miracle to happen.
witnesses say miracles have been done away with and god doesn't work this way any longer.. if you're going through a bad time, pray to god and he will help you if you have faith.
he'll "bless" you!

Do You Accept ALL Of The Bible As Being 100% Truth?
by minimus indo you believe the bible is unfallible, unerring and totally accurate?.
do you believe the bible is a "good book" with much good about it but not something that should be totally believed?.
do you not believe in the bible at all as being "god's word"?.

Jehovah does not live by his own rules
by sinis ini find it mind numbing that jw's and religios in particular never see this.
jehovah is the patron god of the jews.
yet he treats them like utter shit, worse than slaves.
