the ability tosee God's hand in anything

Yeah, no matter what religion you are in too.

The Bible message is to let go and let God steer your life. Focus on doing God’s work and things will work themselves out. When things go wrong, don’t he anxious. Do the best you can and trust in God. You are not in control of your like so there is nothing you can do. Seek first tge kingdom and the other things will be added to the Christian pursuing kingdom interest. When things fall apart frustration and worries won’t help.

If I can honestly see God`s hand in my exiting the Jehovah`s Witness religion ,I sure will thank him /her / it / for that , THANK YOU . GOD.

I have known more than one Witness who claimed to have lived their life in constant prayer to God and saw his hand in every little thing . When little things went wrong it was “what is Jehovah teaching me here? “ . However most of us were not like that.

So why do some seem to get a lot of help from their congregation and others not ?

I believe it is down to personality and, the more you give ,the more you receive, like in any community. Sisters that were always involved, always willing to help and being interested in others will receive help from their many friends. Those of us more of a quiet nature , keeping to ourselves… well , no one notices if we are not there and are less minded to put themselves out for us. That’s human nature.

A Christian congregation is supposed to be better than that , offering a hand to all members regardless… but , you know how it is…..

Being featured in a watchtower study article is clearly a kind of success attained by only a select few.

That is, if 'Tori' and associates even exist.

Does Jehovah intervene in every situation we face? Explain.

Er, as Unky Punky sees it........ If Jehovah(tm) doesn't exist then the question is irrelevant.

"Jehovah let my child die of cancer, but He got a lot of people to show up as visitors! I mean, what are the chances that they would have done that without God nagging them? No one ever visits sick friends in the hospital! We are so blessed!"

I agree that this is not just JWs. But this particular example makes me cringe.

WT is in full reality HELPING ITSELF TO SUCCEED! All of the donations, business deals (real estate and construction of various buildings) plus NO PAYMENTS/SALARIES to members for their volunteering to work on different projects and activities, has helped this cultporation to garner more PROFITS! Everything is done at the expense of the membership, who are SUBLIMINALLY INFLUENCED to follow through on just about all of the DIS/MISINFORMATION thrown out at them on a damn daily basis! 👆☝🏽🤬

Jehovah might see when we are having problems, but that thing is probably laughing at us while we are floundering. And especially the ones that it made for us--such as the "vaccine" for the wimpiest "disease" on the planet causing all sorts of illness. And yes, it did "help" a few isolated individuals so it could have the story written down and not have to help up--and that's if you can believe that it isn't all fiction.

LHG - You are one smart gal. I was jerked in the backroom by clergy class asking for handouts (most of the elders w/common sense did not do this) for couple losers on their 'A Team.' I told them when I walked there'd be no more pimping for their faves -- I'm DONE! That wasn't the reason I left. There's always some thug around begging in life but those hell-hole halls are notorious for it.

Some of your comments might lead a reader to think you believe JWs are incapable of loving each other. Surely we all mourned for lost JW friends who passed. We all saw JWs helping other JWs when they saw a need to. We all visited sick friends in the hospital.

Sure the church was negligent in caring for physical needs in any organized manner and yes love was complicated by the environment of sectarian isolation, but JWs are still people who love and are loved.

I remember, and always will, when an elderly lady in our congo had her house (shack on stilts) collapse I organized a day to have it put back up. I had JW volunteers from villages far away that I didn't even know.

When a 5 year old boy was killed in a car accident we had a funeral wherein every eye was crying, even the speaker kept breaking down.

I'm quite certain that most of us still grieve to some extent over the loss of companionship and family of those who shun us. And I'm sure it is true the other way around, they grieve for us.

I'm not defending the church, I'm defending the victims in it.
