The problem with the JW's is that they take it well out of context. Disown your own family members? Yeah, I really don't think that's what Paul had in mind when he wrote those epistles...
I'm critical, yeah. Partly because you are here in a thread defending the very book that brought ruin to this persons family ties, but mostly because without the existence of that text, we wouldn't be here talking about this individuals horrific experience in the first place.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
