So, if one is not rich, powerful, having fun driving SUVs and chasing naked blonde women then there is no blessing from God?Sounds like something a teen would say.
Well if that doesn't just sum up the reason that you can't argue with someone who espouses a wacky belief system, I don't know what would!
SOJ's response is the absolutely typical, textbook myopic reply that you would and should expect from a member of a religion that isolates single lines from bodies of text for use in proving/disproving/forming/revising a rigid belief system. Leave the poor guy alone. He's only doing what he's been taught to do (and doing it very well, I might add!) The elders must be VERY proud of his wisdom in discerning, in true WT fashion, which part of an argument to attack so that you not only minimize your own credibility, but make yourself look foolish by the same mechanism with which you intended to expose the foolishness of your adversary! The key is to remain totally unaware that you're doing it, and SOJ has got that down pat!
As one who loves irony in all of it's forms, I'm immensely tickled by this particular response.
