Here's a thought about who's in control when it comes to the weather. This is loosely taken from a blog by Cedar's on his web site. I've made good use of this observation by our friend Cedar's many time to "witness" to my witness friends. The sobering observation illustrates just how ridiculous and naive JW's can really be.
Who controls the weather?
On October 5th, 2013 at the 129th annual meeting of the WTBTS, Governing Body member, Geoffrey Jackson announced the release of the revised new world translation of the Bible. At that meeting he alluded to the fact that Jehovah had blessed the Wallkill Bethel with favorable summer weather which allowed the new bibles to be ready in time for the annual meeting release. In other words, Jehovah had somehow intervened in the weather so as to allow the bibles to be printed at a time normally not favorable for bible printing due to high heat and humidity.
One month later, super Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines on November 8, 2013. Tragically, 43 JW’s lost their lives during that typhoon. Even more tragically, 22 of those lost were swept out to sea while gathered together in a Kingdom Hall for worship!
So did Jehovah control the weather at Wallkill so bibles could be printed but not in the Philippines where 43 of his witnesses perished due to a weather event? Something doesn’t add up here!
I was also thinking about prayer. Why Jehovah “answers” some prayers and not others. If God "answered your prayers" and saved your child from cancer, it implies God has the ability to save other children from cancer, also, but chose not to.
just saying!
