i talked with a jehovah witness and he told me that god only helped those who obeyed him, that it said somewhere in the bible.
the discussion came when i told him about soldiers asking god for help.
he said that god wouldn't listent to them because the soldiers knew they were sinning by killing and they kept on doing it.
You should have asked where it says in the Bible that you can not be a soldier!
"Those who live by the sword will die by the sword" is one of their favorite scriptures to twist. I take it to mean people who live by violence.
Can't help you with the scripture you asked for, sorry!

Wonder how long I would have lasted!

june 20th marked a new beginning for me and yourschelbie.. we had a justice-of-the-peace wedding, with just a few family and friends on hand.
the judge did a marvelous job of capturing the essence of the meaning of marriage in just a few minutes.
(and we weren't reminded that serving a publishing company should be the #1 priority in life, lol.).
CONGRATULATIONS to you and the Missus!

I think JWs hit the nail on the head (pun intended)............with........
I think it's extremely possible that all this guy had was a list of numbers of people who helped in the past and no clue as to their status.
I guess they don't want rif raf or who they would term "Weak Spiritualy" coming along and messing up the spiritual paradise!
