A Chicken Story, by Anthony Morris the Third

    I personally hate the ambiguity at the end, i.e. "we're not saying what Jehovah did or did not do." Yes, of course you're telling us what he did by just telling the story. If you don't think Jehovah had any hand in these events, then why tell the story? The whole thing was very reminiscent to me of the experience in the 2013 Yearbook where a family described it as "Jehovah's hand" that they were out at the meeting when a passenger plane ploughed into their apartment block killing all 153 onboard. The Society can hold its hands up and deny making any direct implications, but the publishers still come away with the desired impression - that Jehovah performs miracles for his servants if they are obedient.

    [edit post: The Quiet One - that's a great observation on my article, I'll fix it. Thank you!]

    Yeah, I remember that mindset.

    Dear Mr. Anthony Morris,

    What a blessing it was that ''maybe'' Jehovah increased the amount of chickens to 60 after a brother and his family attended a convention. What a true blessing Jehovah provided this family and any family that make sacrifices to make their conventions!

    Where was Jehovah's blessing when a brother in our Kingdom Hall was killed in a car accident while driving home from field service? Where was his blessing when his wife had to move in with her daughter because she had no income to support herself? Where was Jehovah's blessing when a bus ran into a concrete pillar at a Florida airport last year and killed several Jehovah's Witnesses who were attending a convention in Palm Beach, Florida?

    That's about the dumbest thing I've every heard. No point at all. None. Nada. Morris must fit right in with the other nutjobs on Watchtower's Governing Body. All bozos. All of them.

    It's probably easy to fall into a pattern of "magical thinking" when nobody around you has the balls to tell you it's wrong.

    The more Am3, Loesch, Splane, Herd, and Letts travel and give talks the better, they are so so unispiring, and stupid it is bound to make many walk away from these new delusional nut jobs now in control. They do not inspire any confidence at all, people only clap because they feel obligated and might be labeled an apostate if they don't show agreement for everything that they say.

    So the big question is...were any of them able to "choke their chickens"?

    Praise the lord he saved their chickens! Apparently the whole "time and unforeseen occurence" thing doesn't apply to those faithful chickens.
