1. The bomb planted in the Kingdom Hall In Australia, where one brother was killed, was meant to kill everyone, and would have, but the bomb rolled backwards so the force or the blast was away from the friends, rather than aimed at them.
So Jehober was powerful enough to cause the bomb to roll backwards but not powerful enough to defuse the situation.
2. A new Hall was built in Brooklyn. However, a large tree was inconveniently located in the center of the parking lot, and a city ordinance forbade it's removal. That night, a storm blew it down, and it conveniently fell in the middle of the street. No harm came to the Hall. Because it blocked the street, the city of New York had to remove it, at no expense to the brothers.
The creator of all heaven and earth caused one of his own creations to be destroyed so that an asphalt/concrete slab could be placed on the ground to give 4 or 5 more fossil fuel burning machines a place to sit.
3. In Florida , a Hall building was delayed, because the basement hadn't been back filled and the brothers had no means to do so. While the inspectors were at the site, a bulldozer showed up did the job, and drove off. He returned to tell his boss he'd finished the job at the Hall. The boss replied, "Hall!? I told you to go to the mall!" The job was done at no expense to the brothers.
Basement in Florida? No means to do so? Ya mean Jehovah couldn't find a bobcat or backhoe or even some shovels for his followers to use? He can make trees fall and cause bombs to roll around, why can't he provide a bobcat for his own worhip building?
4. The brothers were building a 2-day project, and were short of roof trusses. None could be obtained for 3 days. Nearby, a semi truck overturned, blocking traffic. What was it carrying? Trusses! The police wanted them removed. The brothers moved in and hauled them away. Although some were damaged, enough were gathered to finish the project, at no cost to the brothers.
Somebody already mentioned that trusses are designed for each building, though you can get some standard ones that work for varoius projects. But...even if they carried them off the road, the owner would come calling and either demand them back or restitution for obsconding with his building materials. If a cattle truck overturned on your street, can you keep the cattle that wanders into your yard?
5. A Hall project was planned on an island. However, no sand was available for the mortar. (Many of these islands are formed from coral.). The only sand was on property owned by the Catholic priest, and he wouldn't sell to the brothers. A storm came up and washed the sand from the priest's land to where it was available to the friends. The project was completed, and everyone was happy but the priest.
Again, the creator of heavens and earth has to resort to trickery to provide a pile of sand to his worshippers? Why not miraculously give em a pile of sand, kinda like manna from heaven? That would be more impressive than whipping up a priest-busting storm
6. In , where the work is done underground, 3 elders were working on a country road. The sky was cloudy. Suddenly a bolt of lightning killed the middle brother. The other 2 hurriedly hid his body in the bushes, to go and remove literature, etc. from his home before the officials came. They take over any possessions they find and give them to whomever they feel can use them. Among his possessions were found a complete list of all the Witnesses from miles around. He was not a brother, but an imposter, planning to turn this list over to the police. As Bro. Lauriz says, if these hadn't come from , we'd never believe them.
I've heard this one before....it starts off: God, Jesus and Moses were playing golf.....
7. In a country where the work is banned, a Brother was trying to get through a series of roadblocks, with the trunk of his car loaded with literature. He was stopped by a policeman who asked him if he would take him to a certain destination as his car was broke down. The Brother agreed, the policeman got in the car, took his policeman's hat off and put it on the dashboard of the car as they drove along. They passed through five roadblocks and each time they were waved to go on through because of the policeman being with him. When they reached the end, the policeman thanked him and got out. The Brother asked him what the roadblocks were for and he said, "Oh, those Jehovah's Witnesses try to get through with their literature and this is set up to stop them." So he had escorted the Brother right through with his literature, (Told by Bro. Spangenberg, C. 0.)
Wow...five roadblocks to stop such a dangerous group of women and children(the bulk of those spreading the literature). Must have happened in Ohio where they tried to ban the door-to-door work.
8. A Brother going door to door met a man who said very emphatically he was not interested. He said to the Bro. "Tell it to the dog!" So the Bro. did. He gave the whole Sermon, read the scriptures, and presented the WT subscription, when he got through, he looked up at the man and said, "Well, the dog says yes." The man said "If the dog says yes, then I'll take it." So he placed the subscription. This was told by Brother Carrie Barber. (Gov. Body)Well, if it came from the Gov. Body it HAS to be true...
