Why does god kill children?

by Comatose in

i was thinking about all the accounts in the bible that indicate god kills children as a punishment or teaching experience.

1. kills all of egypts firstborn sons, who were innocent kids who did nothing to him or his people, who had no control over the decisions pharoah made.

how many times have you read that account or thought about it without realizing the devastating pain dealt to all those parents, and remembered those were innocent kids?.

jw07

I can murder, rape, plunder, maim, vandalize if I have an imaginary friend to blame all of my actions on can I not?

An imaginary being told me to do all of these things, he is very powerful and intelligent...but you just can't see him, or can't see him and live, according to a book He 'wrote' about Him, written by humans who don't make mistakes...oh wait...they do.

Being an all powerful being He could have thought the most accurate literature about himself into existence, but wait, he didn't, he 'inspired' scores of random men (gender bias much) over the course of thousands of years and instructed them to write it! That's what the men who wrote his book for him said so surely it must be from God Himself!

If I hear voices telling me to spread disease into a population, drop a bomb on a building because your all powerful imaginary friend and instructions from him are different, or strap a bomb to my chest and detonate on a bus to murder...I mean kill...I mean...stop my enemies, and attribute my psychotic break to MY all powerful imaginary friend I am right in doing so am I not?

He told me to do all of these things for the greater good, and so I do them...

but wait, other people say my actions are wrong and attribute them to a powerful imaginary enemywho only exists for now because my good all powerful imaginary friend allows him to be in order to prove him wrong!

There is no God, there is no devil, neither exist, at least not according to descriptions of them by man.

We all make choices and often seek to find a scape goat because it is hard to live with wrong choices. Or have good events happen to us, which we are not smart or aware enough to understand (and are afraid to admit it).

Why not attribute it all to imaginary beings the same way that the Greeks had Gods for most forces of nature?

Maybe 100 years from now there will be major belief in a single dual personality God. A God who creates only so he can later destroy to improve, thus justifying all tragedy.People would stillmurder, rape, plunder, maim, vandalize to fullfil one train of objectives for that imaginary being: to help him create or destroy.

It has always been the same story and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.

The all powerful imaginary friend and enemy saga!

What if JW.org Was Hacked?

by jw07 in

what would the governing body do if their precious website were hacked and redirected to one such as this or jw struggle for hours or even days?

what if their site was hacked to expose ttatt on the front page, and their video content replaced by videos from people like thesnarkyapologist or danmera?.

what do you think the damage control strategy would be like?.

During Your IN Years If You Had Anointed At Your Hall, What Were They Like?

by LoisLane looking for Superman in

the scoop of humanity at one khall, the anointed ones" were a mixed group.. one bro, h. had been in for eons.

he was df for adultery, back in the day when they would announce your sin openly from the platform to everyone.

he just kept on coming and partaking until he was reinstated.

jw07

Full of bs. Incidentally we have 2 and they BOTH have been treated for mental issues in the past.

The Elusive and Shy creator god.---

by prologos in

is there only a 50 / 50 chance that there is a ceator or.

assuming that there is one, and looking at it all,- it is hard to imagine that there is not,.

particularly if you tried all your life to make stuff work.

jw07

What are the chances of 'God' actually being a powerful but mortal being, or set of beings who existed in the past, DIED, and now it's smartest creation (that we know of) is left guessing about the universe's origins forever?

Pornography is Bad in Facebook, and Jehovah's Eyes

by jw07 in

thank jehovah for facebook - sarcasm.

since i'm still 'in' for the time being, one of my pass times is browsing through the facebook profiles of jehovah's witnesses on my list, as well as friends' of theirs.

in particular i take note of their photos and comments, as well as pages they like and how those choices betray the squeaky clean images that they love to portray.

Thank Jehovah for Facebook - sarcasm

Since I'm still 'in' for the time being, one of my pass times is browsing through the Facebook profiles of Jehovah's Witnesses on my list, as well as friends' of theirs. In particular I take note of their photos and comments, as well as pages they Like and how those choices betray the squeaky clean images that they love to portray.

A good number of them Like pages of movies, shows, bands and artistes they would denounce or deny in front of other Witnesses, yet they show appreciation for them on a medium which records their choices and makes that data public knowledge.

Many of them don't seem very good at hiding their porn habbit either. What I've noted about many single brothers (especially those 30+ and unmarried) is that they are Liking pages of pornstars and pages with explicitly titled content such as: Big Booty Freaks, Hot Naughty Freaks, Freaky Girls, Jenna Jameson etc. You get the picture. Interestingly, I've noted that some of these 'brothers' like more content than my 'worldly' friends. Makes you wonder huh?

I guess this is just a part of the vicious cycle of repression one encounters when persons let a cult control their bodies and minds.

Do you have Witness friends on Facebook, what's the porn weather like in your neck of the woods?

A cult of Sociopaths undergoing a makeover

by Terry in

jw
friends

cult members are property.. living property consisting of non-persons and non-individuals with disabled self-expression.. the tool used by this religion to control a member's desire to self-improve is attaching guilt as a stop-sign and crying: "disloyal.".

like any owned property, you are under the total control of others.

any wrong move, word or deed can label you a "danger" to the group-think.. there exists in such an authority structure only three possible stats you can achieve.. 1.compliant usefulness in carrying out assigned missions.

jw07

@?evrything: I've been talked to 'gently', over and over about my mustache. "It could stumble others."

Is it a sign from Jehovah or just irony?

by dissonance_resolved in

jw
friends

so i signed up to volunteer at a local urban community center- first time i've ever volunteered for a non-jw effort.

i thought i would end up cleaning, organizing, something like that, but the first thing they wanted us to do was go door to door in the neighborhood handing out flyers!

face palm...

jw07

Did they give you a scripted presentation to follow?
