God Answers the Prayers of the Earring Hunters

konceptual99

Just a small anecdote from the meeting last night.

In the item interviewing a couple of older, long standing ones, one of the sisters was asked how Jehovah had answered her prayers. Her response was "in lots of ways but it's the little ways I think of the most. For example, when I am rushing to get ready for the meeting and putting my earrings in and I drop the butterfly clip on the floor and cannot find it. There I am desperately looking for it and say a quick prayer to Jehovah - then there it is..."

Smiles and laugher all around....

This will be of zero surprise to most here but to any lurkers around who maybe are missing the point of this....

Are you glad God is answering the prayers of those who have lost a clasp...

... so he can ignore the prayers of those who have lost everything...

Thank Jerkyhoover for helping our dear old sisters look their best for the indoctrination sessions.

I wonder how many 'honest hearted ones(tm)' thought it was a a twee crock of ship?

I remember, I would roll my eyes and sigh at such utter bilge, even as a dubbie. In fact, after I left the dubbies and went to a church, it was thae same style of delusional bilge that convinced me that there was no god.

My personal experience is that god never, ever, once helped me. It was more like the opposite. I prayed to god to help and then things got worse. If I had lost a clasp on the floor, god would have propelled it up my bum just because he hates me.

If only he could work a similar thing with lotto numbers.

Riiiiiiiiight. So Jehovah lets you find a earring clip, but lets 250,000 die in a tsunami...

Let that just sink in for a minute.....

Yes. According to a sister in my old congregation, she missed the meeting because satan pushed her off a stool when she was picking apples.

How does that work?

Was Jehovah(tm) too busy looking for an earring back that he didn't see satan run ou from behind a bush and shove our brave sister off her stool?

God loves to take sides in football (both American and what Americans call soccer)and baseball. He doesn't seem to take a side in basketball except for college ball. He also seems to ignore rich folks on the fields of a golf course and lets them battle it out without him. .......well, there was that Tiger Woods thing, but then he cheated on his wife and God left him to his own skills.

Earrings and small miracles that get JW's to their conventions are huge with God.

Starving children and natural disasters, .......well, sometimes God lets the entire Kingdom Hall collapse and is responsible for any who survive but not responsible for any who die, and sometimes He miraculously causes a third-world country miracle of food for JW's about to go off the pioneer list. There was this time a wild boar just charged right into the hut so the JW there could kill it for food and stay on the list a whole month longer until some new miracle comes along. So we have to understand that He's too busy for non-JW Haitian or Indonesian boys and girls.

And the Lord works in mysterious ways. It seems that all Christian sects have such anecdotes for their God and Lord helping them and ignoring others. Perhaps, it's rescuing a Christian's cat instead of pulling Iraqi children out of a building about to be blown up. Or it could be helping Perry find a new weblink that proves that Jesus is real while not preventing a flood in another state that allows gay marriage.

Amen.

Great comments.

Absolutely, one hundred percently asinine. People like her deserve to be JWs.

Some of you might find this foolish. I had a cat that I found as a homeless kitten. He and I had a bond that others probably couldn't understand unless they had experienced it. He was extremely smart and playful and he loved being with me. I dearly loved him.

He was injured one night. I held him in my arms all night long outside under the stars begging Jah in tears to help him survive. I used every argument I could think of. I mentioned how he brought glory to Jah. I said that you (Jah) say you care about us humans who are much lower than you, so please understand how I can care about this animal who is not as low compared to me as I am to you.

Long story short: The next morning I had to plant my beloved boy in the wet, bug-infested ground. And Jah helps some cuckoo woman find the back to her earring??? [many expletives]
