"Disobedience is very costly"
by TOTH inwow, i had some words with my father in law.
over the years i have always had such a profound respect for him because he used to speak from the heart and used the bible to express his view, but lately he has become more and more "wt-ish" with his comments.
my wife has been suffering from severe pain for years due to injuries suffered at the hands of her 1st husband.

RESPONSIBLE STATEMENTS or vague drivel? You decide!
by Terry in"out of zeal and enthusiasm for the vindication of jehovah's name, word and purposes, and the desire for the new system, some of his servants have at times been premature in their expectations.".
watchtower 1979 july 1 p.29 how jehovah guides his people.

God: The Abusive Boyfriend
by baltar447 inhttp://conversationalatheist.com/general-essays/god-the-abusive-boyfriend/.
ways the christian god is like the most extreme version of an abusive (and possibly psychotic) boyfriend:needs constant praise and makes you feel guilty for just being human.has severe jealousy issues.he lets painful experiences happen to you that he could easily prevent, just to test your devotion to him.claims credit for everything good in your life; claims nothing bad in your life comes from him.threatens you with eternal torture if you ever leave him.he is constantly swearing that he loves you and you need him.
(thanks richard collins).ways to tell if you are in danger of being taken advantage of in a relationship with this abusive god:you are highly defensive of him from even the slightest criticism of his flaws.you talk to him every night, and he never responds yet still expects unwavering devotion.
