As Dubs we have it ingrained in us to turn a negative into a positive for the WTS and JAH. No Doubt JWs are a tight group...that is one of the things that used to give me warm goosebumps..ahhh the brotherhood. It is real, a real feeling of closeness but once you are on the 'outs' you realize how stale and conditional it really is. For all these brothers that closeness really helped. No arguing that they can quickly organize things. In the case of this search it obviously helped.
Had I been a worldly searcher that day that was fed on Larch Mtn, I would have genuinely thought, wow, what a great group of people. I don't think it would move me to go grab a Bible Teach book though ;-)
I was also bothered by this line: " Why, he even has gone to some meetings at their Kingdom Hall!" Really dip$%it...he was baptized!!! Whenever you start a statement with the word 'Why' it amps up the corny factor. How stupid.
And the statement about Jehovah not letting it rain...sure, Jehovah controlled the weather so you could pass out more books...but he didn't help whitney when she needed it most. What another stupid thing to say.
I wonder after all the dust settles if, and how many might be baptized because of this tragedy.
