#1 “WHY DO YOU ALLOW SUFFERING?”

 

#2 “WHY IS RELIGION FULL OF HYPOCRISY?”

 

#3 “WHY ARE WE HERE?”

 

I like this simple answer:

 

 

Harry found out that ultimately all pain and suffering can be traced to humans’ rejecting God’s authority and using their free will to decide for themselves what is right and what is wrong. (Deuteronomy 32:4, 5; James 1:14, 15) He also saw that God did not stand back and take an ‘I told you so’ posture. Instead, God immediately set in motion arrangements to eradicate wickedness and suffering. He will completely undo all the damage that has been done. Harry came to realize that in the meantime, God has provided comfort and support to help individuals endure.—Genesis 3:15; Romans 8:20, 21; Revelation 21:4.

Why are they all in the wrong line?

That doesn't look like a KH to me.

Interesting comments regarding creation and the big bang

Yes. We've had some interesting information like that recently. Love it.

I think the reason they're in the "wrong" line is because, even though they're church goers, they still haven't gotten such questions answered by their flock robbing leaders.

I like how loving it addresses athiest. Truly guided by Jehovah. I know it's hard when athiests are very scornful but Jehovah knows the heart.

Hmmm, I just thought of another reason why they're going to a church rather than to a Kingdom Hall. It's because they're figuring they'll get answers to their questions there. (But we know the truth about that now don't we? lol).

Well now, if that were a Kingdom Hall there would be no line at all, for we all know their questions would be answered right off and from the Bible. The picture must be a Church of Christendom and the Clergyman/woman has probably held the line up for days/weeks/months/years looking for an answer to the first question a person ask. Or maybe the person asking didn't have enough money to pay for the answer.

We'd love to see a line like that at the KH but it would be moving pretty fast, the piranhas, I mean, pioneers, would be in a feeding frenzy.
