TO EVERYONE:.........
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THIS DISCUSSION IS BASED ON OPINIONS, I AM AWARE THAT OTHERS WILL HAVE DISAGREEMENTS.
AS I HAVE SAID EARLIER THAT THIS DISCUSSION IS NOT FOE PREACHING, BUT TO SEE WHAT OTHERS ARE THINKING.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT, EVERYONE WON'T KEEP THIS DISCUSSION AS INTENDED TO BE, THEY WILL GO AS FAR AS WANTING TO DEBATE WITH YOU, NOW! IT'S YOU CHOICE IF YOU WANT TO ENTERTAIN A DEBATE.

I AM GREATFULL THAT YOU ARE JOINING MY DISCUSSION AND AM HOPING THAT MY COMMENTS OR THAT OF OTHERS WILL NOT BE OFFENSIVE TO ANYONE.

BEST REGARDS

I just wanted to get the views of other people on the matter of the posted topic.

It not for the purpose of preaching racism but to hear what people think about it on a whole.

Well, i am hoping that he will be the first dark shaded leader to manage America.

Yes he will have a massive impact on person of his shade rahter than the fact they he may posses the knowledge, skill, ability and/or experience to do the job of a leader.

U view him as an ordinary man who has potencials, i am hoping that he will be like President Abraham Lincoln who was cool and simple.
He stood by the mandate bof the country, served his time, and tried to assist the people in any way possible.

Obama has to understand that he is going for a basket with many holes, wether he gets it or not, the holes are always there waiting for someone to fill.

THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FILL OUT.

Beijing has just ended, there were over 900,000 in attendace there.
What really strikes me is how dark and light shade people got toghter in unity to celebrate sports --- no one had time to see differences.

I believe that our human goverments has the ability to do way with this idiosity opinion color differences.

I am from jamaica, i realized that the Jamaicans, Americans and other country men were praying together just before competing in the semi final 100m.

Wether the prayer was from the heart or not, no one seem to care --- they were all mingling as ONE BODY!! for the sake of sports.

PART 2:...............................
WHITE PEOPLE

White supremacy is an ideology based on the assertion that white people are superior to other racial groups. The term is sometimes used specifically to describe a political ideology that advocates social and political dominance for whites. White supremacy, as with racial supremacism in general, is rooted in ethnocentrism and a desire for hegemony.


For white civil rights activists in the 1960s, equal pay was the basic marker of acceptance and social inclusion in Australian society. Shirley Andrews, who helped establish the Equal Wages for Aborigines committee, pointed out that people who were paid such a small proportion of the basic wage were not able to live like white people, as required under the assimilation policy.

Aboriginal workers had concerns other than wages. For example the Gurindji pastoral workers were unhappy about their appalling living conditions: a diet of salt beef, damper, sugar and tea, and white stockmen coming back into camp when the Aboriginal stockmen were still out with the cattle, and taking advantage of Aboriginal women.

In 1968 the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission ruling on equal wages in the cattle industry came into force. When the case was being heard in 1966 the Commission accepted the employers' evidence that 'many of them expect[ed] to change over to white labour if Aborigines are to be paid at award rates'. This did happen and many Aboriginal stockmen faced unemployment for the first time.

The achievement of equal wages in the pastoral industry thus turned out, for many, to be a hollow victory. Families and whole communities were turned off properties where they had worked for generations. People drifted into towns and were given 'sit down' money (unemployment benefits). They were no longer able to fulfil obligations to their country.

The Gurindji people at Wave Hill, however, walked off the job, camped at Wattie Creek and refused to move. The Wave Hill walk off section of this website is the continuation of the story of the Gurindji people and their struggle for justice and their land.


In 1964 the North Australian Workers Union presented a case for equal wages for Aboriginal pastoral workers. The cattle industry, the largest employer of Aboriginal labour, was not legally required to pay Northern Territory Aboriginal drovers more than £3.3.3 per week. White drovers got five times this amount. The North Australian Workers Union case before the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission would, if successful, end this discrimination.

Two years earlier the Electoral Act had extended voting rights to Aboriginal people, but industrially they were still outside the award structure which guaranteed fair wages to workers. The Australian industrial system, built up over more than half a century, also laid down working conditions, annual and sick leave and workers' compensation. Aboriginal workers, however, were specifically excluded from awards in jobs where they were most represented, such as in the pastoral industry.

Shirley Andrews and Barry Christophers, who formed the Equal Wages for Aborigines Committee, pointed out that notions of equality were hollow unless they were reflected in the pay packet. In 1963 they began campaigning for wage equality for Aboriginal workers.

At a public lecture in Melbourne in January 1965, Andrews remembered her sense of outrage when she heard of cases of labour exploitation:

Two very fine young Aboriginal stockmen were present at a conference I attended in Cairns in December, 1962. These young men were both about 25 years of age and had worked on a cattle station out from Coen in Northern Queensland since they were ten years old. They were now skilled stockmen and should have had a considerable amount of money in their trust funds. The only cash money they had ever received consisted of five pounds at Christmas and five pounds for the big local race meeting. [1]


NOW IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH SHADE THAT YOU HAVE, WE ARE ALL HUMANS, WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENCES.
WE ALL HAVE DISADVANTAGES AND WE ALL HOPE TO BE INDEPENDENT, NUT ARE WE REALLY?

AS A DARK SHADED PERSON, HOW MANY PERSON WILL ACCEPT MY FRIENDSHIP?
OR AS A LIGHT SHADED PERSON, HOW MANY WILL ACCEPT YOUR FRIENDSHIP?
LOOK INTO IT, ARE DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER?

PART 1:.......................
BLACK PEOPLE


Racism, by its simplest definition, is the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race. People with racist beliefs might hate certain groups of people according to their racial groups. In the case of institutional racism, certain racial groups may be denied rights or benefits, or get preferential treatment. Racial discrimination typically points out taxonomic differences between different groups of people, even though anybody can be racialised, independently of their somatic differences. According to the United Nations conventions, there is no distinction between the term racial discrimination and ethnic discrimination.

1954

May 17 - The U.S. Supreme Court overturns the doctrine of “separate but equal” in Brown v. Board of Education, ruling that segregation in public schools is impermissible. Thurgood Marshall served as attorney for the NAACP.

1955

August 28 - Fourteen-year-old Emmett Till was taken at gun point from his uncle's home located on the outskirts of Money, Mississippi. Three days later, the mutilated body of Emmett Till was discovered in the Tallahatchie River. Its was weighted down by a seventy-five pound cotton gin fan that was tied around Till's neck with barbed wire.

September - Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam were tried, and found not guilty for the murder of Emmett Till.

December 1 - Rosa Parks is arrested after she refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on the city bus. The Montgomery Improvement Association, led by Martin Luther King Jr. organizes the Montgomery bus boycott, which lasts for over a year.

1956

December 21 - After the U.S. Supreme Court affirms the District Court’s decision that segregation on buses is unconstitutional, the Montgomery buses are desegregated.

No, satan has not been successful.
This is not a matter of wether God wins or not, it's a matter of, Are we proving Satan the lier he is when he said that mankind remain fathful to God because of benefits.

Let's read the story at Job 1:7-12

I Jehovad had done away with Satan, would be able to make a difference now?
Would be showing justice because of his vast power to do anything? NO!!

Jehovah said that he is giving us ample time to repent of our sins, turn away fromm bad, and she the Devil the lier that he is today (2 Peter 3:9)

Jehovah has promised mankind the beauties and glories of this planet... we will gain it in due time.. we need to be like our creator who is patient and slow respecting his promise to mankind.

All of us may not prove to Satan that he was wrong to say that we worship Jehovah for benefits, however, non of us will be able to do away with Satan to time indefinate.

Hello everyone, i am back
I went a way for sometime

Is there any questions that you would like to ask?
You may leave your opinion/s if you wish.

I have to go now everybody, thanks for talking with me, i should be rejoinging in three hours, if you are here then i will see you.

Take care of yourselves ok... Bye

Preparing for pregnancy:.............

Your chances of becoming pregnant and having a healthy pregnancy and baby are better if you and your partner are as fit and healthy as possible. What you eat, how much you exercise, and whether you smoke or drink alcohol are all important factors to look at once you have decided to try for a baby. If you are concerned about your sexual health you can have checks to make sure all is well.


Before you get pregnant:................

Before you try for a baby there are some things to consider that can help improve your chances of getting pregnant and having a healthy pregnancy. If you are planning to get pregnant, talk to your doctor, nurse or midwife – they will be able to advise you on pre-pregnancy and pregnancy health care.


Medical conditions:...............
Talk to your doctor about how your pregnancy might be affected if: you have any medical condition, such as diabetes or epilepsy you have a history of heart or circulatory problems, such as high blood pressure or thrombosis you or your partner have any hereditary conditions in the family, such as sickle cell anaemia, thalassaemia, cystic fibrosis or muscular dystrophy you have gynaecological problems, such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or previous ectopic pregnancy(when the fertilised egg implants outside the womb, often in the fallopian tube).
Your doctor can also talk to you about genetic counselling if you or your partner have an
inherited condition.


Disabilities:...................

If you or your partner have disabilities which may make it harder for you to get pregnant,
you may need specialist help, and your doctor will be able to refer you to a specialist.
If you have a disability and you become pregnant, it is important that you speak to your doctor as soon as possible. If you are being seen by a consultant for your disability you may require specialist advice. You can also request that your maternity care is carried out at the same hospital where your consultant is based. Ask your doctor about this.


Medicines and drugs:...............

If you take medicines for any reason tell your doctor that you are planning to get pregnant, as some drugs may affect the developing baby. Don’t stop any medication you are taking for a medical condition until you talk with your doctor, as this may affect your health.

If you buy any medicines from the pharmacy, always check with the pharmacist to see if these are safe to take while trying for a baby or when pregnant. Avoid any treatment which is not essential. You should also check that any herbal or alternative remedies or complementary therapies are safe to use during pregnancy, or while trying to get pregnant. Ask your doctor, nurse, midwife or pharmacist.

Recreational (illegal) drugs, also known as street drugs, can affect the developing baby. Avoid taking them when you are trying to get pregnant or once you are pregnant. Your partner should avoid using them too as they can harm sperm.

Sexual health:....................

If either you or your partner think you might have a sexually transmitted infection, or be at
risk of getting an infection, you can get confidential advice and help from a genitourinary
medicine (GUM) clinic or your general practice. Some sexually transmitted infections can affect your chances of getting pregnant, and if not treated they can be passed on to your baby during pregnancy or birth.

You may be offered a cervical screening test if you have not had one in the last five years.

If you or your partner has a sexual problem, a counsellor who is specially trained in this
area may be able to help you. Talk to your doctor, nurse or midwife, or contact Relate (see Where to go for more help and advice).

PART 2............................................

Can Satan Turn Everyone Away From God?

Has Satan been successful in his claim that he can turn everyone away from God? In chapter 11 of the Bible book of Hebrews, the apostle Paul names a number of faithful men and women of pre-Christian times. Then he declares: "The time will fail me if I go on to relate about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David as well as Samuel and the other prophets." (Hebrews 11:32) Paul simply refers to these loyal servants of God as a 'great cloud of witnesses.' (Hebrews 12:1) The Greek word used here for "cloud" means, not a detached, sharply outlined cloud with definite size and shape, but a huge formless cloud mass. This is appropriate because the faithful servants of God in the past have been so numerous that they are like a huge cloud mass. Yes, down through the centuries, unnumbered multitudes of people have exercised their free will and chosen to give their allegiance to Jehovah God.—Joshua 24:15.

What do we find in our time? The number of Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide has increased to over six million despite the terrible persecution and opposition they experienced during the 20th century. An additional nine million or so associate with them, and many of these are taking decisive steps to enter into a close personal relationship with God.

The ultimate answer to Satan's claim that he can turn humans away from Jehovah came from God's own Son, Jesus Christ. Not even excruciating pain on a torture stake broke his integrity. As Jesus took his last breath, he cried out: "Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit."—Luke 23:46.

Satan uses everything in his power—from temptations to outright persecution—to try to keep humans under his control. Using "the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the showy display of one's means of life" to tempt people, he seeks either to keep or to entice them away from Jehovah. (1 John 2:16) Satan has also 'blinded the minds of the unbelievers so that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ might not shine through.' (2 Corinthians 4:4) And Satan does not hesitate to resort to threats and to exploit fear of men to accomplish his aim.—Acts 5:40.

Those on God's side, however, are not overcome by the Devil. They have come to know Jehovah God and 'to love him with their whole heart and with their whole soul and with their whole mind.' (Matthew 22:37) Yes, the unwavering loyalty of Jesus Christ and of countless humans adds up to a colossal defeat for Satan the Devil.

Again, you are one person who raised many points, but the one i'm responding to, i the concern toward Jehovah been at war the a fallen angel.

Jehovah is definately not playing a game, he refused to put an end to Satan many reasons comcerning us as humans, i will start off by quoting from the bible.


PART 1...................................
Has Evil Won?

THE idea of a cosmic struggle between the forces of good and evil has prompted endless speculation by writers and philosophers throughout history. There is a book, however, that contains the accurate history of the battle between God and the Devil. That book is the Bible. It sheds light on the issues involved in this conflict and provides the means of determining who has really won.

Soon after the creation of the first man and woman, an unseen spirit creature, Satan the Devil, challenged God's rulership. How? By subtly suggesting that God withheld good things from his creation and that humans would fare better independent of him.—Genesis 3:1-5; Revelation 12:9.

Later, in the days of the patriarch Job, Satan raised another issue. Seeking to break Job's integrity to God, Satan said: "Skin in behalf of skin, and everything that a man has he will give in behalf of his soul." (Job 2:4) What a sweeping claim that was! By using the general term "a man" instead of the name Job, Satan brought into the arena of doubt the integrity of every human. He, in effect, asserted: 'A man will do anything to save his life. Give me a chance, and I can turn anyone away from God.'

The victory in the battle between God and the Devil is determined by the answering of two questions: Is man successfully able to rule himself? Has the Devil managed to turn everyone away from the true God?

Did the
ELEMENTS
Come About by Chance?


"EVERY object in the Universe, even the most distant star, is made of atoms," explains The Encyclopedia of Stars & Atoms. Individual atoms are too small to see, but packed together they make up familiar chemical elements. Some of these elements are solids that we can see; others are invisible gases. Can the existence of all such chemical elements be explained by chance?

Elements 1 to 92
Though hydrogen is the simplest of all atoms, it fuels stars like our sun and is vital for life. An atom of hydrogen has one proton in its nucleus and one electron moving around that nucleus. Other chemical elements, such as carbon, oxygen, gold, and mercury, are made of atoms with many electrons moving around a nucleus of many protons and neutrons.

Some 450 years ago, only 12 chemical elements were known. As more were discovered, scientists noticed a natural order to them. And when the elements were placed on a chart in rows and columns, scientists discovered that elements sharing a column had similar characteristics. But there were also gaps in the chart, representing unknown elements. This led Russian scientist Dmitry Mendeleyev to predict the existence of the element with the atomic number 32, germanium, as well as its color, weight, density, and melting point. Mendeleyev's "prediction about other missing elements—gallium and scandium—also turned out to be very accurate," notes the 1995 science textbook Chemistry.

In time, scientists predicted the existence of other unknown elements and some of their characteristics. Eventually all the missing elements were discovered. There are no longer any gaps on the chart. The natural order of elements is based on the number of protons in the nucleus of their atoms, starting with element number 1, hydrogen, and continuing to the last element that generally occurs naturally on earth, number 92, uranium. Is this just a coincidence?

Consider, too, the rich variety of chemical elements. Gold and mercury are elements with distinctive shining colors. One is a solid, and the other a liquid. Yet, they follow each other as elements 79 and 80. An atom of gold has 79 electrons, 79 protons, and 118 neutrons. An atom of mercury has just one more electron, one more proton, and more or less the same number of neutrons.

Genesis: 2:17
Is not contradicting, it is just easily understood by many people.
If you read verse 3, it says that God said; "It is not for the man to continue by himself"

Now if he had killed killed them at the time of eating of the three, would he not be an injustice God?
We would not be here today, he gave mankind a chance to repent.

Here is how they die... In Gensis 3:19, Jehovah says to them; "In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you returned to the ground"

THIS question is far from academic. How so? Because Adam and Eve’s disobedience to God affected all future generations right down to our time. The Bible states: “Through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned.” (Romans 5:12) But how did the simple act of taking and eating fruit from a tree result in such tragic consequences?

When God created Adam and Eve, he settled them in a beautiful garden that was filled with edible vegetation and fruit-bearing trees. Only one tree was out of bounds—“the tree of the knowledge of good and bad.” Being free moral agents, Adam and Eve could choose to obey God or disobey him. Adam was warned, however, that “in the day you eat from [the tree of knowledge] you will positively die.”—Genesis 1:29; 2:17.

A Fitting Restriction
This one restriction caused no hardship; Adam and Eve could eat from all the other trees in the garden. (Genesis 2:16) Moreover, the prohibition attributed nothing improper to the couple, nor did it rob them of dignity. Had God forbidden such vile things as bestiality or murder, some could claim that perfect humans had certain base inclinations that needed to be restrained. Eating, however, was natural and proper.

God told Adam and Eve to “be fruitful and become many and fill the earth.” (Genesis 1:28) Certainly, he would not command them to break his law and then sentence them to death for doing so! (1 John 4:8) Eve partook of the fruit before Adam and later gave some to her husband. (Genesis 3:6)

So, it was grace on Jehovah's part that we are here today and to learn one lesson from our forthparents...

When we commit a serious sin, forgive is now an option, adam and eve were not given second chanes, they were given time to produce other humans they could come and make their own choices, he didn't want all of mankind to suffer through one man'a sin.

We now have the opportunity what adam and eve didn't get... we are learning from thier decision to be honest hearted, loyal and determingly hold on to the commandments of our creator, JEHOVAH GOD

I am not saying that i am a professor ho knows everything, but i have seen things just like anyone esle, i know some reality of relationships and i am yet to learn.
One thing for sure, it doesn't matter how old you are, male or female, your life on earth will never catch up yo the extent of a genuine and peace abiding relationship.
We may grow old and die, and guess what? the game goes on and on, it never gets old, it beats us down while we are saying i am a great mate, i can do better.
THE REALITY OF A RELATIONSHIP JUST DOES NOT TALK, IT WORKS, CREATES HISTORY, LEAVING US TO BUILD ON IT AND LEARN FROM IT.

I AM STILL STILL GROWING, I HAVE LOTS TO LEARN.

Your car can be proven to be, BUT!!
Your car has to have a maker, right?
How did we come about?
Why cant we see the be=reeze, but feel it?
Why cant we see current, but feel?
Yes, we can see the effects of them all, but can we see them NO!!
We breathe naturally, we can't live under water without support.
The flowers has different colors and shades, mankind didn't paint them
We have the sun which burns over 27billion degrees, mankind is not supporting its energy.

Now, with all of that said and lots more can be talked about, where is GOD?
He is right in front of you as an active spiritual force, no shape, no image, he made us the way he likes, in his own creative immage.
Can you clap with hand?
Can you run with one leg or no support?
Can you cross a busy street with no eyes?
Well, we need them, all, who gave them to us, mankind? and if so, who gave them what they have?

Does God Exist?
Some Scientists Answer
PHYSICS professor Ulrich J. Becker, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, stated when commenting on the existence of God: "How can I exist without a creator? I am not aware of any compelling answer ever given."

Did this contradict his scientific views? The professor's thought-provoking answer was, "If you discovered how one wheel in the 'clock' turns—you may speculate how the rest move, but you are not entitled to call this scientific and better leave alone the question of who wound up the spring."

Contrary to the opinion of some, many respected men of science do not rule out the idea of there being a God—a Great Mastermind behind the creation of the universe and man.

Consider two more examples on this point. When mathematics professor John E. Fornaess, of Princeton University, was asked for his thoughts on the existence of God, he replied: "I believe that there is a God and that God brings structure to the universe on all levels from elementary particles to living beings to superclusters of galaxies."

Physics professor Henry Margenau, of Yale University, said that he was convinced that the laws of nature were created by God, adding: "God created the universe out of nothing in an act which also brought time into existence." He then noted that in the book The Mystery of Life's Origin, three scientists explain that a Creator is a plausible explanation for life's origin. Supporting this view, astronomer Fred Hoyle has stated that believing the first cell originated by chance is like believing that a tornado ripping through a junkyard full of Boeing 747 airplane parts dismembered and in disarray could produce a 747.

To these answers can be added the words of the Bible writer Paul: "[God's] invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world's creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship."—Romans 1:20.

NOTE: IM SORRY FOR THE MISPRONOUNCIATION OF (CONTRADICTING)



Millions of people today have been asking this one question.
Some have gone from saying it and start believing it, but what do u have to say, what were you told and do you believe that The bible Is Contradicting?


2Timothy 3:16-16

Why You Can Trust the Bible?
Some people say the Bible is unreliable, and their views have gained wide acceptance. Thus many today dismiss what the Bible says as untrustworthy.

On the other hand, what Jesus Christ said in prayer to God promotes trust: "Your word is truth." And the Bible itself claims to be inspired by God.—John 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:16.

What do you think about this? Is there sound basis for trusting the Bible? Or is there really evidence that the Bible is unreliable, that it contradicts itself and is inconsistent?

Does It Contradict Itself?
While some may claim the Bible contradicts itself, has anyone ever shown you an actual example? We have never seen one that could withstand scrutiny. True, there may appear to be discrepancies in certain Bible accounts. But the problem usually is lack of knowledge regarding details and circumstances of the times.

For example, some persons will draw attention to what they consider a discrepancy in the Bible, asking: 'Where did Cain get his wife?' The assumption is that Cain and Abel were the only children of Adam and Eve. But the assumption is based on a misunderstanding of what the Bible says. The Bible explains that Adam "became father to sons and daughters." (Genesis 5:4) Thus Cain married one of his sisters or possibly a niece.

Often critics are just looking for contradictions and so may declare: 'The Bible writer Matthew says that an army officer came to ask Jesus a favor, while Luke says that representatives were sent to ask. Which one is correct?' (Matthew 8:5, 6; Luke 7:2, 3) But is this really a contradiction?

When the activity or work of people is credited to the one who is actually responsible for it, a reasonable person does not claim a discrepancy. For example, do you consider a report to be in error that says a mayor built a road even though the actual building of the road was done by his engineers and laborers? Of course not! Similarly, it is not inconsistent for Matthew to say that the army officer made a request of Jesus but, as Luke writes, that such a request was made through certain representatives.

History and Science
The historical accuracy of the Bible was once widely doubted. Critics, for example, questioned the existence of such Bible characters as King Sargon of Assyria, Belshazzar of Babylon, and the Roman governor Pontius Pilate. But recent discoveries have verified one Bible account after another. Thus historian Moshe Pearlman wrote: "Suddenly, sceptics who had doubted the authenticity even of the historical parts of the Old Testament began to revise their views."

If we are to trust the Bible, it must also be accurate in matters of science. Is it? Not long ago scientists, in contradiction of the Bible, asserted that the universe had no beginning. However, astronomer Robert Jastrow recently pointed to newer information that refutes this, explaining: "Now we see how the astronomical evidence leads to a biblical view of the origin of the world. The details differ, but the essential elements in the astronomical and biblical accounts of Genesis are the same."—Genesis 1:1.

Men have also changed their views relative to the shape of the earth. "Voyages of discovery," explains The World Book Encyclopedia, "showed that the world was round, not flat as most people had believed." But the Bible was correct all along! More than 2,000 years before those voyages, the Bible said at Isaiah 40:22: "There is One who is dwelling above the circle of the earth," or as other translations say, "the globe of the earth" (Douay), "the round earth." (Moffatt)

Thus the more humans learn, the greater the evidence is that the Bible can be trusted. A former director of the British Museum, Sir Frederic Kenyon, wrote: "The results already achieved confirm what faith would suggest, that the Bible can do nothing but gain from an increase of knowledge."

This is a very wie topic, so i will just stop here for now, if you have any views or questions, please feel freeeeeeeeee!!!!

Hey, Im Conrad from Jamaica, I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
This doesn't make me better than you or anyone, i just want you to undestand how a get my knowledge and of what point of view im coming to from.

You have raised an interesting topic, but i also relized that you have touched a lot of points.
I'm more gravitated to the issue your raised, you asked if he is a murderer.

My answers are firmily based on what the bibles has to say.
If i were in front of you, i would ask permission to use the bible in my comments, but since you are not here, please have my appology for quoting from it, IF, it's offensive to you.

Let me use the example of JERICHO,(Joshua 7:6-25) this was a city filled with ungodly people, worshiping and activities, they were so ungodly that they couldn't pleased our creator (Jehovah) anymore.
So he arranged for their distruction, however, there were peolpe who were honest hearted and were ask to segregate themselves and part take of Gold, Silver or what ever riches thatwere there,
this arrangement was captined by JOSHUA a prophet of GOD.
Jehovah is not a wicked person, he hates cheaters, he is jealous of false worship because he made man, give the breath as life, made a world with fruit, food, sunlight, moonlight, animals, fragrances and other things to entertain us, who wouldn't feel heartbroken?
He gave them enough time to repented and stop what they were doing, isn't it fear to say that GOD fight Holy Ways to do away with bad influences?

AT SOME time in your life, you may have asked: 'If there is a God who really cares about us, why does he permit so much suffering?' All of us have experienced suffering or have known someone who has.

Indeed, throughout history people have suffered pain and heartache from war, cruelty, crime, injustice, poverty, sickness, and the death of loved ones. In our 20th century alone, wars have killed over 100 million people. Hundreds of millions of others have been injured or have lost homes and possessions. Ever so many horrible things have happened in our time, resulting in great sorrow, many tears, and a sense of hopelessness on the part of countless numbers of people.

Some become embittered and feel that if there is a God, he does not really care about us. Or they may even feel that there is no God. For instance, a man who suffered from ethnic persecution that caused the death of friends and family in World War I asked: "Where was God when we needed him?" Another, who survived the murder of millions by the Nazis in World War II, was so grieved by the suffering he saw that he said: "If you could lick my heart, it would poison you."

Thus, many people cannot understand why a good God would allow bad things to happen. They question whether he really cares about us or whether he exists at all. And many of them feel that suffering will always be a part of human existence.

There is only one thing that Jehovah GOD ask of us, he ask that we fear him and keep his commandments.Romans 10:5

I will be commenting on other issues which you brought up, but now i just want to focuss on this issue.

Thanks for reading my comment, i am so hoping that i didn't offend you in any way possible.

Thanks truely
