Funny how ones perspective on a given type of event can change...
Over the years, while still a JW, we would find ourselves in a bit of financial strife and somehow we would get through it. ''Jehovah'' always provided some relief, some unexpected windfall or extra work etc.
Oh what proof of the holy spirit at work!
Fast forward to now, when i am so far removed from ''jehovah'' as one could be and guess what? Lo and behold...financial tight spot! The wife had a really bad week with work...as in NO WORK. No income. On the day she asks what shall i do, she has a 'sale' on her art prints on facebook and receives by the end of the day, sales and commisions for TWO weeks worth of wages!
Who i ask provided? Surely not ''jehovah''. She provided, she put herself out there in need and it came back to her in reward.
that stuff about ''jehovah'' providing is a lot of hoo hah! Holy spirit my ass! You tell another you are in need and 99% of the time help will come. You put yourself 'out there' andit will come back
YOU make it happen, NOT ''jehovah"
