Dear all,
I am new to this site, I was almost a baptised publisher, my parents were baptised but always on the fringes, being brought up almost in the truth we had all the disadvantages, being excluded from school assemblies and having to explain to other children why, no birthday parties or christmas or cubs and scouts or any "worldly" associations, whilst none of the so called advantages! kept going back in my adult years due to the instilled fear. thankfullly in 2007 found Crisis of Conscience then it all became clear and managed to reverse all the guilt later in 2008 gave the book to my parents, and to my lasting joy they accepted this as correct and threw all the Jehovah's book's away and now have a truly realistic view of the world.
I am now researching the Deist view of God, this seems far more realistic with regard to the concept of evil, if a truly caring God could permit this level of suffering on any creation without a truly easily understandable message to humanity to make a point then this does not seem to be rational!
Best Regards,
