Too hard to prevent ongoing deterioration that ended up with her walking into walls thinking she was walking in a straight line. Too hard to answer the prayers of seasoned intercessors on her behalf.

Too hard to protect the childhood and stability of six orphans whose parents, friends of mine, were killed in a head on collision with a drunk driver (who survived).

Too hard to reward a hard working man and pillar of his church with a well earned retirement, or to cure him of the bone cancer that took his life, despite never having smoked, chewed, or went with girls that do.

Too hard to keep an 82 year old woman and devout follower safe, such that she died in a car accident.

To hard to prevent a godly pillar of the church from sawing two fingers off in a shop accident.

Too hard to prevent a young woman from going progressively mad with schizophrenia and passing on mental disorders to her children.

I can go on if you want. It's not too hard.
the most proud shall stumble and fall with none to raise him up for the lord god of recompenses shall surely requite. because of his wrath, they shall be wholly desolate, for against the lord they have been proudly defiant and presumptuous. who is like the lord, who will appoint him the time? therefore hear the counsel of the lord.

I dreamed that JWs had a little ring attached to a cord at the back of their necks which they could auto-pull and bible-babble would come out of their mouths.

Or was it a dream....?

The counsel of the lord is that I am proud, defiant and presumptuous to expect him to keep his own word about protecting and rescuing his own children when they cry out to him? Woe unto you, blaspheming idolater. May your tongue cleave to the roof of your mouth like a potsherd. Behold, your place is left unto you desolate.

Actually we are taught every utterance from God, over and over, as Jesus said man must live by. So yes we can tell you what the bible teaches. Few mortals listen though.

true. But what we say is.

jesus taught non literal religion. He spoke against fundymental jews. We speak against fundymental and literal religion also.

Your god is trying to teach you that a literal bible is meaningless. He does this by "putting" magic in the texted. He is showing you "learn, but don't believe everything you hear. Use your "common sense".

died woke up and flew away
walked on water
turned water into whine ... yes whine.
virgin birth
raise the dead
the ark
poof there earth is

all meaningless.

But the lesson they teach are real. "False hope" brings "real" strength. its true.

But don't force that magic crap on people. and for no god's sake, stay away from the children. They are not yours to screw up.

Everyone who knows Jesus--knows Jesus spoke to 7 congregations in Revelation-- A religion obviously.
As well Jesus promised to appoint his faithful and discreet slave( teachers( over all of his belongings.
One single religion Jesus started--one truth.

By the govts and corporations destroying the ozone layer, Global warming is causing much destruction and its growing at an alarming rate--this system is almost done.
