Here it is again, Christmas time. People are thinking about gifts and giving. They are worried about giving something tacky, regifting, or inappropriate. But, there is one "gift" that is the tackiest, the most inappropriate, the wimpiest of them all. No, it is not a Christmas gift either.
How many times have you heard about the gift of marriage? Each time Kingdumb Malady 117 comes up, you are told that being married is a gift from Jehovah. The tacky part is, that if you are not married, you are automatically single by default. And Jehovah calls THAT a "gift", too! If you are not one (which would have been one gift), you are the other (another "gift"). So, this puts Jehovah is a situation where He could not lose.
I have seen my share of tacky Christmas gifts in my life. But, none of them are as tacky as the "gift" of singleness. Worse, there is no way I can take that "gift(????????????????)" back for an exchange or at least get my damn money back. If you ever get a Christmas gift that you do not like or seems inappropriate for you, at least you can regift it or return or exchange it. Jehovah's "gifts(??)" are never able to be regifted or returned.
Talk about Almighty Cheap! Jehovah doesn't even have to do anything (or He can actively interfere with your finding happiness) and still call Himself generous. Then He wonders why I am as stingy when it comes to going to His boasting sessions or going out in field circus.
