"Jehovah's spirit is being blocked in the congregation"

    So, how many times have we heard this expression (or a variation of it):

    "Jehovah's spirit seems to be blocked here in the congregation...perhaps he is bringing something to light...etc"

    It seems that the org often uses this expression, and links it with the "fact" that god wont bless a cong as much,(or at all) if there is "stuff" or "sins" being carried out.

    So, why is it then that the cong I am in is experiencing its BEST years of activity in all aspects? The elders are praising the cong and saying "jah is certainly blessing our congreation and its activity"

    But isnt there an "evil apostate" in their midst?

    Jehovah's blessing in this instance is all the more precious because the furtive as-yet unheralded presence of an evil apostate cannot thwart Jehovah God's powerful presence in the congregation.

    Jehovahs spirit must be suffering from ED.

    Back in the day, it could raise the dead, literally.

    Make people speak in tongues, heal the sick, cure the deaf, etc.

    Today, God's spirit can't get past the masturbators in the hall. Maybe a Viagra can get the Holy Spirit going again.

    During an elder meeting in our congregation one of the hard liners said "there must be a sinner here because

    Jehovahs blessing has left the congregation".

    If it weren’t for your apostasy, Stuck, your congregation would be able to report several more return visits and at least one more study.

    Do you see what a drag you are?

    Heard it before indeedy.

    Mystical manipulation propaganda technique?

    Perhaps just wishful thinking because it makes them feel the whole god thing is real and applies to they alone. How special they must feel.

    Happifying to the max.

    Gorbatchov: My answer would be 'well what have you done?'
