We are created in his image so he has to have a perfect sense of humour. .The comedy started first thing:Hey you two dummies. I know your so dumb you don't know even the difference between good and evil, but do not eat from this tree of knowledge I placed right here in front of you. If you eat from it, you will get smart and I will kill you.OK, now you two smarties are cursed and will sweat and struggle to put food on the table. Eve, you will have the worst pain known to man to have children plus you won't have the same desire as your husband, but don't worry he will dominate you. Now get out there and multiply and fill the earth.Jesus, I want you to pick 144,000 people, make them immortal kings and priests with supernatural powers. All they need do is remain loyal to me till they kick the bucket.The rest of them, same test or survive the great tribulation and Armageddon. After that see if they remain loyal to me for 1000 years. If they pass that, test them again. If they pass all 3 tests reward them with fruit baskets and lion petting forever.Any to add? -

"You have created me a cherub. Immortal with immense power. What is my duty in this Universe that would take 90 billion years for a beam of light to traverse?"
You are to watch over some microbes flashing in and out of existence who live on a speck of dust circling another speck of dust. I dont want them growing beards or having sexual relations without a legal contract. And I need them to attend mind numbing lectures 3 times a week in a square uninspiring structure built with the lowest cost materials. My embassy on this mote of dust shall be in a place called New York in a corner of this dust called America.
This is why I have created the Universe. -

I remember that in many congregations it would often be said behind the scenes:
"Of course Jehovah has a sense of humour. Look at who he has made GB members/circuit overseers/congregation elders!*" 🤣
