He doesn't explain how Jehovah would help and provide for you.
Well, Gee-HO'-Vuh is providing. A small plastic bag with three or four bruised apples, a couple onions, and some baby carrots once a week will no doubt keep you alive, and donating for the graciously provided . . .oh hell, I can't finish typing that. I tried, I really tried to mimic the words of an elder, but just couldn't do it!
It was as though I should jump from a plane without a parachute.
Exactly. It reminds me of someone else's advice in a book I read. Let's see, I think it was called The Bible? "Then the Devil took him along into the holy city, and he stationed him on the battlement of the temple 6 and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written: ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you,’ and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’”
Today's version is, "Then the out of work JW was taken before the personnel director and offered much needed employment. But the elders said, 'If you truly are a JW, refuse the work, for it is written: Jehovah will provide for you. Just be patient, and wait and see.'"
