  So let's get this straight...

  Praying for specific people, even by name is supposed to get a BETTER reaction or solicit more support from Jehovah?

  So does that mean that the more popular or well known witnesses will get MORE help from the almighty??

  So a lowly, unknown witnesses who is going through trials gets forgotten because he is not one of "the popular kids"?

  And why does God need people to beg him into taking action? If he really wanted to care for someone, would he stop first and see whether or not there were sufficient begging that took place?

  Really, where is the logic in all of this?

  "The seeming delay on God's part in answering some prayers is not due to any inability nor to a lack of willingness, as the Scriptures make clear. (Matt. 7:9-11; Jas. 1:5, 17) In some cases the answer must await God's 'timetable.' (Scripture citations) Primarily, however, it is evident that God allows his petitioners to demonstrate the depth of their concern, the intensity of their desire, the genuineness of their motive. (Scripture citations) At times they must be like Jacob in his wrestling long in order to obtain a blessing. (Scripture citations)

  "Similarly, while Jehovah God cannot be pressured by numbers into acting, he evidently takes note of the extent of concern shown among his servants as a body, taking action when they collectively show deep concern and united interest. Where apathy, or a measure thereof, exists, God may withhold action."

  Even in their request for prayers for them they are in deep denial, they have a supersticious belief that help in their predicament will come from Jehovah if they can turn up the volume in his prayer sensing device through many praying at different times close to the request time. And then he will awake from his slumbering and like a mighty man hurl a lightning bolt at Satan system and bring them their reward heavenly life to rule with Chirst.

  The GB should appoint Paul Lagno (spelling?) to represent all the brothers needing Jehovah's help. Marc Sanderson introduced Paul to everyone at 42:00 in the April 2015 broadcast. I nominate Paul. I believe he would be great for the position because: 1. He is a worldly trained engineer; 2. He has bargained with Jehovah and evidently has his ear; and 3. He actually succeeded in getting Jehovah to put the other 8 million suffering J-dubs on hold and find a fix for his worldly company's leak.

  I vote we give Paul the Praying to Jehovah Hat.

  Please support Paul.
