    I think the intent of the term , 'manoeuvring them', means that he has simply put the
    arrangements in place, after all, it does speak of, 'the relative position'. If i set up the
    infrastructure for a chess tournament i am not responsible for the way persons conduct
    their games, how they plan to manoeuvre their pieces.

    But what you described is not the meaning of the word 'maneuvering'.

    So do you accept that God maybe interested in politics if he is 'maneuvering' governments to 'suit his good will' as the JW literature galveston posted indicates or is the literature incorrect?

    What! Seriously...? Do you only read the parts of the Bible the WT underlines for you?

    Psalm 75:7
    Daniel 2:21
    Romans 13:1

    You, robbie and the rest of your organisation my have written the world off in one sweep of your misanthropic broom but clearly God is interested in the affairs of men and so should we be ...by voting!

    Do you sit at home thinking of retarded things to post here?

    No it just means that he is allowing us to fail as a country.

    Do you always allow your right wing politics to influence your prophesies?

    naturally the literature is correct, although to be fair, i have not read the citation in its context. always trying to catch us and trip us up!

    I am pretty sure that is what He said.
    I objected to God's side is every side, He does not agree with two people who
    are against one another at the same time, He has His own agenda and we are
    either apart of His or we are not. Maybe I misunderstood, but I took his
    statement to mean god was on all sides at the same time which is to say he
    really has no side.
