The Big Bad Bully 2 Kings 2:23,24

It would need a miracle for two bears to maul and kill 42 boys.  Miracles are performed by God.   Jehovah's Witnesses and many others then teach that Jehovah caused 42 boys to suffer terribly and die one day.  And for what?  For teasing  Elisha.  Not only did God cause the boys to suffer but also the boys' families did God cause to suffer.  It is the truth according to the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses.  They are not able to see that the word which was written "tear" ever meant "break through".  As in the bears broke through a group of boys.  That has meaning.  That God killed boys of God's people (I am assuming they were - does it say they were not?) is ridiculous and if it really had any meaning at all it would be evil meaning.  The governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses teach that Jehovah is one bad bully.  I don't believe it.  Do you?

23  He went up from there to Bethʹel. As he was going along the way, some young boys came out from the city and began to jeer at him,+ and they kept saying to him: “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!” 24  Finally he turned around and looked at them and cursed them in the name of Jehovah. Then two she-bears+ came out of the forest and tore 42 of the children to pieces.+ 25  He kept going from there to Mount Carʹmel,+ and from there he returned to Sa·marʹi·a.
