Originally posted by Proper Knob If God is 'maneuvering' governments to 'suit his purpose' i would say that is expressing an interest?! Or are you using a non standard definition of the word 'interest' here?
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'.
Originally posted by robbie carrobie well ok, I cannot explain it.
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?

Originally posted by galveston75 Does anyone here seriously think God is involved? He clearly says in the Bible that ALL governments will be destroyed in the future by his son, so why would he take sides with any of them?
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!
Originally posted by RJHinds I think God allowed Obama to win for some purpose just like He allows murder to happen. I can't say I understand what that purpose is however.
Do you sit at home thinking of retarded things to post here?
Originally posted by kevcvs57 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.

He means He as in, what GOD said. Implying that you have it all written down somewhere?
