Said to myself & others by a JW elder.
I always recall this as a sort of moment. I was genuinely asounded that a 'christian' could say this.
When this elder was pressed on the matter, he replied that it was because of all the years of laughing & sneering & mocking that he had put up with, quoting the scripture that goes along the lines of 'where is this promised presence of his'.
I realise now that this person is not loving. And yet, I would hear similar sentiments from others such as 'just wait until the end' or 'I wonder if they'll be saying that when jesus comes with his big sword'.
Even as a JW pioneer, the thought of such a thing happening to people repulsed me. I guess that is why I am here and they are there.
Anyone else hear such comments?
