"-The Watchtower says, in summary, that Jesus didn’t stop him because there was no congregation yet, the inference being that there was no Organization yet to tell him what he could or couldn’t do-". lms
If wt says said, they are contradicting their past statement on this (nothing new there), because:
According to wt, the transfer of authority from the Jewish system to the Christian system occurred at Pentecost.
The temple scheme was "god's" legit organisation before that; witness Jesus encouraging contributions to it, by the widows.

And in the end, if Jesus again walked the Earth, doing exactly as the first time, they would spit in his face.
Jesus if returning, in most wt congregations, would be disfellowshipped within 3.5 years as an anti-establishment, disrespectful to elders, independent thinking character.

calleda "Christian" unless you are official anointed, which happened at pentecost, some time after the expelling demons thing. what demons? -

A fore taste of the paradise in the 1000 year kingdom, (the one that WT is not preaching).
Here is what you get with socialism, state control, kingdom control.
Local congregations used to take pride in their hall, contributing tens of thousands, working on it, lavishly. Now with wt owner ship, this, or something spelt with the same letters.

Yea, wt does not like competition, and would stop it if they could, but Jesus said no! anybody working in the right direction is working in the right direction, directed or not.
wt has to explain that away. plainly.

Proof of God
by MrDantastic ini'm an atheist as i do not see any evidence for the existance of a god.
i encourage critical thinking in everyone and am ready to debate anyone on whether or not there is a god and what that god might be like.

Gaia's balance?
I'm out of this conversation. coftysad to see you go at this point. There is the hypothesis that life on Earth keeps things in balance, even fights erosion with roots, protects islands with coral reefs, automatically, without any god, or the goddess Gaia fiddling mystical knobs.
hope to see you again. w (p).

Waton - You are describing a deist god.
A cursory glance at the unnecessary suffering he caused condemns him as a moral monster.I know what you are saying, culling a herd, or any overpopulation is more inhumane then browsing on overgrowing vegetation, but both are essential to maintaining Gaia's balance.
By classifying the possible originator as a moral monster, you are assigning artificial substance to him/her.
All I am saying look at existence, the works, and leave it at that. I Some aspects of nature seem to be inhumane, but even then, there is often short term automatic natural pain relief build-in, effective up to a point.

So what you see or dont to me depends on your life experiences. But that is just me.
Yeah, if you are working all your life to produce good stuff, or as a mother care for the children, and see the great job required to do that on a universal scale, you see the maker of that with awe. not a god, but as a worker. now,
If you think of being that creator, the last thing you would want is to be bothered all the rest of your life with having to listen to gripes and fiddling to fix, so you make it in such a way that it keeps going on autopilot, so,
look at the work, there is your "picture" of the creator, forget about god, for god's sake.
The bible got one thing right. The creator never asked to be worshipped, he has no ship on his shoulder, sacrificing religions was a Cain and Abel invention. not a demand by the creator.
