7 Third, imagine a Christian [Jehovah's Witness] father
who has lost his job and worries about
the well-being of his wife [who doesn't work] and children
[who pretty much could care less about him anyway and cling to their
mother].
At Nahum 1:7, he reads in an undertone
that Jehovah “is cognizant of those seeking
refuge in him” [though not so much that he's running an employment agency]
and protects them [though not at all as individuals]
like “a stronghold in the day of distress.”
That thought consoles him [though unless he eats the page
that verse was written on, it fails to fill his belly with food]. He senses
Jehovah’s loving care [through the Force, apparently] and stops worrying
overmuch [gets a spiritual high that makes him forget the rent is due
and he has no idea how to pay it 'cause he didn't want to 'store up treasures'
on earth since this system is on its last leg, which seems like a pretty strong leg
to have held up for nearly a hundred years]. Then he reads verse 15 in
an undertone. (Read Nahum 1:15.) Our
brother sees that by preaching the good
news [recruiting people into the Watchtower] in difficult times, he demonstrates
that he, indeed, views Jehovah as his
stronghold [and hopes for someone to leave a food basket outside his house
while he's out recruiting, like in the Yearbook]. While the brother keeps on
looking for secular work [because only the 'faithful slave' can live off
the hard-earned money of others, not you], he is now also
moved to support midweek field service
activity.
