Does Jehovah know what is going on, and does he help?

Just got this e-mail, is any of this b.s. true? There are JW names through out the letter . Don't read this if you aren't feeling well you will lose your lunch. DOES JEHOVAH KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON, ANDDOES HE HELP? 1. The bomb planted in the Kingdom Hall In Australia, where one brother was killed, was meant to kill everyone, and would have; but the bomb rolled backwards so the force or the blast was away from the friends, ratherthan aimed at them

2. A new Hall was built in Brooklyn. However, a large tree was inconveniently located in the center of the parking lot, and a city ordinance forbade it's removal. That night, a storm blew it down, and it conveniently fell in the middle of the street. No harm came to the Hall. Because it blocked the street, the city of New York had to remove it, at no expense to the brothers.

3. In Florida, a Hall building was delayed, because the basement hadn't been back filled and the brothers had no means to do so. While the inspectors were at the site, a bulldozer&a mp;n bsp;showed up, did the job, and drove off. He returned to tell his boss he'd finished the job at the Hall. The boss replied, "Hall!? I told you to go to the mall!" The job was done at no expense to the brothers.

4. The brothers were building a 2-day project, and were short of roof trusses. None could be obtained for 3 days. Nearby, a semi truck overturned, blocking traffic. What was it carrying? Trusses! The police wanted them removed. The brothers moved in and hauled them away. Although some were damaged, enough were gathered to finish the project, at no cost to the brothers

5. A Hall project was planned on an island. However, no sand was available for the mortar. (Many of these islands are formed from coral.). The only sand was on property owned by the Catholic priest, and he wouldn't sell to the brothers. A storm came up and washed the san d fro m the priest's land to where it was available to the friends. The project was completed, and everyone was happy but the priest.

6. In Poland, where the work is done underground, 3 elders were working on a country road. The sky was cloudy. Suddenly a bolt of lightning killed the middle brother. The other 2 hurriedly hid his body in the bushes, to go and remove literature, etc. from his home before the officials came. They take over any possessions they find and give them to whomever they feel can use them. Among his possessions were found a complete list of all
the Witnesses from miles around. He was not a brother, but an imposter, planning to turn this list over to the police. As Bro. Lauriz says, if these hadn't come from Bethel, we'd never believe them.

7. In a country where the work is banned, a Brother was trying to get through a series of roadb locks, with the trunk of his car loaded with literature. He was stopped by a policeman who asked him if he would take him to a certain destination as his car was broke down. The Brother agreed, the policeman got in the car, took his policeman's hat off and put it on the dashboard of the car as they drove along. They passed through five roadblocks and each time they were waved to go on through because of the policeman being with him. When they reached the end, the policeman
thanked him and got out. The Brother asked him what the roadblocks were for and he said, "Oh, those Jehovah's Witnesses try to get through with
their literature and this is set up to stop them." So he had escorted the Brother right through with his literature, (Told by Bro. Spangenberg, C. 0.)

8. A Brother going door to door met a man who said very emphatically he was not interested. He sa id to the Bro. "Tell it to the dog!" So the Bro. did. He gave the whole Sermon, read the scriptures, and presented the WT subscription, when he got through, he looked up at the man and said, "Well, the dog says yes." The man said "If the dog says yes, then I'll take it." So he placed the subscription. This was told by Brother Carrie Barber. (Gov. Body) Rejoice in the hope. Endure under tribulation. Persevere in prayer. -Romans 12:12

9. Here is one I can add. In West Valley City, Utah, a new Kingdom Hall was planned. Funds were short. The brothers heard of an IRS auction of property in an ideal location. The date of the auction the presiding overseer went to the site, county court house steps. A minimum bid was
announced, $14,500.00. Our brother raised his hand. No one of the many gathered there offered any bids. The congregation got the property,
then sold off a pie ce of it for $14,500.00. Net result...property paid for at no cost to the brothers aside from clean up. How do I know? I was in that congregation at the time.

I think I read this one in one of the magic-zines long ago....I believed it at the time and thought about that story many times....I now know it was total Bull Doky.

Complete BS as far as I'm concerned. The GB are such accomplished liars on other topics, I find it difficult to believe anything they claim. This stuff sounds almost like a B-grade supermarket tabloid.

sir82

Don't know if they are true or not, but the list is at least 20 years old - I've got a pre-e-mail copy of those same stories somewhere.

Total nonsense- these stories keep making the rounds. If it couldn't make the cut for the National Enquirer tabloid, then it's not worth the paper to print it out on. To be of any value the stories would have to far surpass the stories found in real life and these are so lame that, well, they are just be an embarrassment to the JW's.

These are complete pish water. Experiences like these always made me feel angry at 'god'. Its like, he can kill an informer here but leave one to inform in another place and all the sisters end up raped. He can blow over a tree to avoid a pissy little kingdom hall but cant save a family crushed to death by a tree somewhere else. JW`s - Thinking of themselves all the time. PISH!

This is a painful topic for me.

I don't believe Jehovah is interested in anything that is going on here in modern times unless he has a "plan" for a particular person, etc. Although, I do believe it is entirely possible that the stories in WWII when certain JWs were saved from the Nazis did happen. I cannot explain why people (either JWs or other religions) have "angelic" experiences. I do not know if there is a purpose or if it is just haphazard.

I believe Jehovah's involvement with the human race was mainly in ancient times because he was interested in the "line" leading up to Jesus. As for the rest of us now, I am afraid we have to depend on luck or our wits. Sadly, these are limited.

If I believed in god at all I would have to believe he rested on the seventh day. Shhh, you'll wake him up.

lol #8: He told it to the dog? Witnesses are weird... (some, not all)-that guy was.

Does Jehovah know what is going on, and does he help?
