And this is Religion for you

Not literal ones, lol, they are symbolic, a symbol most would understand when talking about a form of warfare that they wouldn't understand.

please elaborate.
you say no horsemen are coming with swords in a final battle?

No literal ones, no. We actually have no real idea what kind of forces Christ will employ.

From the descriptions of the "battle" it describes Christ and all his Angels", but since there are "myriads" of them, and one could wipe out the whole of humanity in less than a day and no-one see what was going on, that too probably only means "all the Angels he needs at the time", lol.

There have been many theories, all plausible. Such as:

One massive solar flare which wipes out all the electronics on the earth. A vulnerability we are creating for ourselves

Severe weather, which we are accelerating the prospect of ourselves.

He could even use His Holy Spirit, a force powerful enough to create the whole universe in His hands, to destroy us, our infra structure, anything. In His hands Holy Spirit is a tool selective enough to engineer the smallest particle, or powerful enough to create or destroy whole universes.

Take your pick. Whatever he uses the destruction will be great enough for all signs of our current "civilisations" to be destroyed, but selective for the faithful to get away with their lives, if nothing else.

to much killing.
a filter don't kill, does it?

A filter separates out the dross for disposal. If what it is filtering is faulty lives, then yes it does.

I wonder how often you violate the innate rights of others without even knowing it? I am sure that we all do, which is where the wisdom of God protects us and them.

The bible talks of the laws of God being written in the heats of those who love Him. Obviously that is not a literal thing but what it means is that those laws are of paramount importance to His people and that they live by them, with no though of deliberately infringing them.



There is nothing invented in the doctrine or "revelations" that the JWs adhere to, unless you count them as being "invented" by God Himself, which is of course true.

Every revelation they preach comes from scripture so strictly speaking it is not a revelation at all having been revealed many years, even centuries, before.

However everything they teach can be proven from scripture, and scripture can be proven in it's accuracy to all who do not prefer to live in denial. Any contrary teachings are very easy to prove wrong, or at the least speculative.

Well, if what you say is what you mean then that would apply to every institution in life, including life itself, since there are bad apples in every barrel.

However you cannot blamethe institution for what individuals with in it do, only for how they deal with that individual, and there are certain scriptural restraints that the JW are under in that regard.

For instance, in the case on the end of that link, if the Brother has run away he has taken himself out from under their jurisdiction and left himself solely in the jurisdiction of the law, and whilst the JWs will always cooperate with the police, they will not do their job for them.

As an organisation JWs can only act against those who are actively associating with the Congregations.

What do you expect from institutions which are founded on invented revelations? A lie by any other name corrupts just as badly. But churches, like governments, are corrupt only because of their corrupt members.

If you stand FOR something, please spit it out instead of just attacking the obvious.
