  Ok, so this weeks study article says the following:

  “14. How has Jehovah been the Rescuer of his people?
  14 The psalmist David sang: “I am helpless and poor; may Jehovah pay attention to me. You are my helper and my rescuer.” (Ps. 40:17) Jehovah has repeatedly been the Rescuer of his people as a group, especially when they have been severely persecuted and relentlessly hounded by their enemies. How thankful we are for God’s help at such times and for the many spiritual provisions he constantly makes for us!
  JEHOVAH PROTECTS

  15. Illustrate how a loving father seeks to protect his child.
  15 A loving father not only provides for his children but also seeks to protect them. He would naturally try to rescue them if they were in danger. One brother remembers a specific incident that occurred when he was just a young boy. He and his father were returning home from the field service when their path took them across a stream. A heavy downpour that morning had caused the brook to flood. The only way to cross the water was to jump from one large stone to another. Going ahead of his father, the boy lost his footing on one of the stones[…]”

  Excerpt From: WATCHTOWER. “The Watchtower, February 15, 2014.”

  So the question is, how about those who have lost their lives in theocratic activities, or been attacked and killed in acts of violence in this world?

  Were they not worth saving?

  We can't have it both ways....either god protects his people or he doesn't! Oh, as a group is supposed to be different?

  There was a Gilead graduate sister, a JW missionary in Myanmar. (Old Burma).

  The GB, The Society, "Headquarter's" did not deem it necessary to give the missionary's enough money for transportation.

  They were encouraged to do it "cheap", so take local transportation.

  The cheapest way is to get on a type of open-air bus, many times, over loaded, over crowded, and hang on.

  She hung on, but with a sudden stop and sudden start, she lost her balance and fell off and died.

  Jehovah, The Israelite God of War... Does NOT protect.

  In WT-world individual lives don't matter.

  Apparently their God is only interested in protecting a faceless corporation of hollowmen.

  OOH Iam sooo grateful.

  The G.B. and its Writing Committees deviously speak out of both sides of their mouths, in order to cover all bases when their fatuous statements and reasonings are exposed by fact, logic, and Bible truth!

  They can then use any twisted justification for their warped dogmas!

  He helps them as a group. Yeah, so they better stay as close to the org(group) or else they will die. That's not even in the bible! Was Jeremiah, the apostles, Abraham, Noah, Isaac, Joseph,Adam, Eve, Daniel, Moses, the two spies, Jesus, the Prophets, David ect,,, in a group when Yehovah helped them???????

  The nation of Israel was a group but look what happened to them back then. Or the ten spies. We all have an individual accounting. He puts life and death before us so that we may choose. That's in the bible! People wake up!

  Jehovah seems to pick and choose who he is going to 'help'. My Dad was a MS for years. He has dementia now. Jehovah doesn't give a flying f*ck about him.

  My family including my son are victims of DV at the hands of his JW dad. My son has to live with an abusive father that lies to the authorities and the courts about me, his mother. This has ended in my son not being allowed to have direct contact with his own mother. He is 12, and knows who is right and wrong. He will have to sit there and listen to this nonsense. He is being hounded and abused in so many ways. He says Jehovah doesn't answer his prayers. He told me some months ago he is atheist. I pity him, having to listen to this hypocritcal information.

  What about the child that is inevitably being sexually abused by a JW in their cong. Jehovah has not protected any children from paedophiles. Jehovah doesn't care about JWs or anyone else for that matter.

  I guess a false sense of security is better than nothing.
