  YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS UP: FINANCIAL HELP AND THE HAND OF JEHOVAH COMPLETE PROJECT

  January 2016 JW Broadcasting..... video starts at 35:30

  A local design construction department manager named Travis Brooks tells a story about a building project on the island of Yap, Micronesia. A small Kingdom Hall needs to be expanded because the facility wasn't big enough for those in attendance. Some members had no choice but to sit outside in the heat and rain, protected only by a tarp.

  In order to make cement for the expansion, sand is needed for the mix. Yap does not have much sand available. The building committee decide to talk to local village chiefs to see if any of them would sell them sand in order to complete the project. Every village chief turns them down. The project comes to a halt. Without sand you cannot make concrete!

  How does this project get completed? Jehovah is credited with delivering the needed sand by the means of a typhoon that misses the island but with the high winds and the churning of the water, sand is deposited onto the local streets. The local village chiefs tell the Witness construction committee they can have all the sand if they clear all the sand off the streets. The project gets completed.

  Gee-hovah this and Gee-hovah that. In reality Gee-hovah doesn't do shit.

  Beach sand is full of salt, that will go well in concrete... not.

  Here is a screenshot of the sand that was supposedly dumped onto the local streets. Jehovah is given credit for having a typhoon churn the water and deposit the needed sand.

  Meanwhile, as Jehovah is busy delivering sand, MANY of his sentient creatures suffer horribly. Little children starve to death, animals suffer miserably and die horrific deaths. I have seen horror that I can never unsee.

  So, Jehovah, can deliver sand, but, not food or medicine or other aid?

  He was just helping out like any local brother in the building department.

  Good old Jah

  Gee-hovah is the most incompetent, unreliable thing you can trust in. It is right up there with Santa Claus and The Tooth Fairy. You get the same results if you pray to a gallon of milk.

  Seriously? Is this for real? Are they really saying their god caused a typhoon strong enough to flood the streets with offshore sand so the JWs can build a church? Can you imagine the locals whose homes were destroyed being told this story? Good luck making converts there.

  Here is what Travis Brooks had to say about the finished construction in Yap:

  ''Without Jehovah's hand in it....like we've seen before, we wouldn't accomplish what we've been able to accomplish.''

  
  

  Here is what Mr. Lett had to say about the finished construction project in Yap.

  ''How exciting for the brothers in Micronesia. Our contributions are important but only when coupled with Jehovah's blessing.''

  You need a special type of sand, mainly found in rivers to make concrete. Beach sand is not used because it is too smooth. By the way, the world is starting to run out of usable concrete sand.
