Stabbings, bombings, riots and even within governments we see nothing but turmoil.
Even in society there are disputes with gender. Are you a he, she or an it? What was normal is now in the minority.

Well you all seem to be ostriches!
Everywhere you look there is mayhem. Alright some has been going on for centuries in different parts of the earth, but today it is in every country. No one is exempt! The EU was against Brexit because the UK wants to control its own borders. So what is happening now? Germany is sending people back to where they come from, France is controlling its borders, and Hungary has erected fences to prevent unwanted and illegal entry. Croatia is starting to put up borders.
So obviously Schengan (? cant spell it)free movement between countries is breaking down.
Democracy is a joke!
For goodness sake folks, take your heads out of the sand and look at the world with clear sight instead of blinkers.
Goodlife, //we see nothing but turmoil.//

I don’t know where you’re looking, but whilst problems undeniably exist in this world the vast majority of us seem to manage to live peaceable lives – or haven’t you noticed that?

Naomi@Unforgettable would be a good word to describe you, the miracles performed by Jehovah in ancient Egypt. Each one of the Ten Plagues was undeniably awesome. Those blows were followed by the amazing deliverance of the people of Israel through the parted waters of the Red Sea. (Deuteronomy 34:10-12) If you had been an eyewitness of those events, hopefully you would never have forgotten the One responsible for them. Yet, the psalmist sang: “They [the Israelites] forgot God their Savior, the Doer of great things in Egypt, wonderful works in the land of Ham, fear-inspiring things at the Red Sea.”—Psalm 106:21, 22.
Goodlife, please tell me you do not seriously believe all you read in that book of fiction.

Have scientists and Bible critics really proved that the Bible contains errors and fiction? Before you accept that they have, you should remember that although many scholars present their opinions in a positive and authoritative way, they are not always right.

Some thinking people need not be overawed by scholarly opinions to the effect that you cannot believe the Bible. However, this does not in itself prove that you can believe it. For that, you need to do what many of the Bible’s critics have not done—open the Bible for yourself, and read it with an open mind.

For one thing, some years ago, an Australian scriptwriter, who used to be a critic of the Bible, confessed: For the first time in my life I did what is normally a reporter’s first duty: checked my facts. . . . And I was appalled, because what I was reading [in the Gospel accounts] was not legend and it was not naturalistic fiction. It was reporting. First and second-hand accounts of extraordinary events.

You (or rather the Watchtower story you pasted from) described him as a "scriptwriter" then morphed him into a "reporter".

Moreover he is one man who isn't even afforded a name let alone a quotable reference.

beso Yes, it can be very frustrating for a you, but the Bible was written for true Christian.
So we recognized that God’s spirit was active in such authoritative.

The apostle Paul’s letter to the first-century Christian congregation in Thessalonica, Macedonia, bears out that fact. They knew the truth of it when Paul wrote: “When you received God’s word, which you heard from us, you accepted it, not as the word of men, but, just as it truthfully is, as the word of God, which is also at work in you believers.”—1 Thessalonians 2:13.

Being a dedicated Christian today is not a part-time occupation any more than it was then. It is a full-time vocation.

Of course it is. If you took a step back and from the indoctrination and looked at real facts, the spell would be broken and you might start thinking sensibly.

The Bible was written for the utterly gullible.
obsession with your book, same thing were said for eons, and none of came to fruition......end of days mmmm, are you longing for it, jc in the sky and all that, do you actually believe it, if so you are deluded and everyone since you book of death was wriiten, doom mongers, get out more read another Novel.

moiling and toiling again
Hi God life nice to see you
the moil and toil bit is the End of Times innit ?

I am surprised that no one has said that the floods in Texas is gods way of punishing the great american public for voting in Trump

but I dont know everything

and no I dont think it is the End of Times either
Other newspapers will go under before The Times, Peter. :)
Locusts and goodlife get so excited about all the negative goings on in the world. Glad it's not contagious..
well when it does we can look to .... The Guardian to look after us

Nigh was telling goodie there wasnt much moiling ( or toiling ) in the world
but there is a bit in Texas if she reads .... the times ( towards the end ) - and Syrian and Iraq - I would call that moil OK - mega-moil even
( or 'toilet toil' - toiling so bad it makes you want to go the jarn]
oh and Jesus North Korea

by comparison to world peace - I mean south america is quiet - only 23 000 homicides in Mehico last year

perhaps I am just being moil-minded
It's not so much a matter of lack of control but rather more who/what is/are in control. My vote goes to/for reason.
"the Bible was written for true Christian"

Ah; so it was only written for the consumption of the already converted then. Has nothing to offer in terms of evidence to those who question ?

Is it the world that needs to be under control, or the citizens ? Does no one believe in the free world any more ? Must all be manipulated, dictated to, controlled card carriers ?
Seems that way Old_geezer.
//I blame God. Look what a mess she's let it get into.//

We are all supposed to be created in the image of God.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT !!!
