i`ll list a few things and welcome any input, comments you may have .. 1.when adam & eve "sinned" disobeyed him, surely god could have handled it better than to condemn all future generations to disease and death ?.
2.his handling of satan who supposedly seduced eve to disobey god could also have been done a lot differently with a finality to it.. 3.i find little if anything in his dealings with the patriarchs that suggests a loving god protecting them.?.
4.taking on the nation of israel and leading them as his chosen people does not inspire confidence or trust as a god of love.. 5.throughout the hebrew scriptures / old testament his chosen people were constantly at war with other nations which of course would have meant many deaths of the israelite`s during these battles .and the grief that comes with family members in those times.
The absolute bullshit that the wt and other religions put out about God is Love is absurd! The silly illustrations that they use by comparing god to a loving human father are ridiculously stupid!
What loving human father would allow his children to suffer the atrocities that humans suffer if he had the ability to stop such suffering? NONE!!!
To prove a point??
Gaslighting at it's finest!

the pandemic has put a stop to the activities of one of the nation’s most visible religious groups, jehovah’s witnesses.. read more: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/19/us/politics/coronavirus-jehovahs-witnesses.html.

scholars generally agree that it was written between the 7th and 4th centuries bce, with the 6th century bce as the most likely period for various reasons.
the book of job .. so according to jw`s about 6,000 years ago satan rebelled against jehovah god ,did jehovah disown him there and then shunning him ?.
apparently not as we can read from the book of job centuries later that satan could still come and go freely before the throne of jehovah in heaven .job 1: 6. and apparently he could still do this for centuries later ,that is coming to and fro before jehovah because according to the jw religion he wasn`t cast out of heaven for another 2,000 years until the 20th century .. now in the case of jesus much of what is said about jehovah and satan also applies to jesus before he came to earth.. but even when he was on earth he didn`t shun satan either in fact he allowed satan to lead him around according to the bible account.luke 4:13 so the devil having concluded all the temptations retired from him until another convenient time .so it wasn`t jesus calling the shots here it was satan .. mark 1: 13 he ,jesus, also shared 40 days in the wilderness with satan letting him tempt him .. so their was no way either jehovah or jesus ever shunned satan the devil according to the bible writings.. and when jesus ascended to heaven after his sacrifice he along with his father jehovah still had association with satan the devil until he was cast out of heaven 2,000 years later ,according to the jw`s..
DF'ing is an act of love------don't ya know! It started with the control freak-----Rutherford! And of course, it's only about loyalty to an organization--has nothing to do with god!

i had a patient admitted from a skilled nursing facility/rehab that is an active jw.
the patient had covid-19 as did most of the patients at that facility.
typically the local elders are all involved in these admissions but there is a strict no visitor policy which includes clergy.
Heard that some jws died due to covid
There was a meeting on Friday between Bethel and COs, then COs passed the info to COBEs, and COBEs to elders, and then elders to publishers....the count of JWs who have died of COVID-19 in the US, as of Friday 4/17, is 250. I don't know the count for the entire world.
No way! You mean to tell me that jehober the god that really cares for his sheep would let some of them die during this Satanic pandemic! Can't be true!

I really fucked up and gave up toooooo many years of living! Baptized at 12 left when I was 62. Then I checked out!

this is "return to jehovah video" from this weeks meeting.
the use fear to gain more people back in the truth?
what are your thoughts?
Gorbatchov2 days ago
I think this video was used at the 2016 convention and now used again.
I was an elder back in the early 70's. We had a 'campaign' to go out and gather the 'lost sheep' before 1975. It was the same bullshit message 45 years ago and it was urgent!

not sure if this is in the right subject but here it goes.
i’ve asked this question to a few elders and bethelites but they don’t seem to understand or like the question.
to start off we have to agree that jehovah is all powerful.
Prophecy!!! lol lol lol lol lol
I prophecy that the sun will rise up tomorrow in the east---unless it doesn't! See how easy it is to be a prophet?

interesting.
just reported today that 560 were laid off at trump's doral resort / golf club here in the miami area.
up the road from me, one of trump's major resorts (the one he plays golf at a lot) is laying off most of the staff.. i am surprised since there is that federal support for businesses that if you don't lay off your employees, you get government support.
I'm sure that the magnanimous tRump will come to their aide,-------- if and only if his name gets to be printed on the relief checks! I know he really cares bout them---just like the GB care about the sheeple!

Yes the all powerful, all loving heavenly father,jehober, cares for his earthly children soooooooooooooooooo much that he has allowed billions of his children to suffer horribly through out the millenniums just to prove a point! Who the fuck in their right mind could possibly believe that?
