so i waz reading the august 15 wt study article, elisha saw fiery chariots, do you?

and it made me think about this forum.

if you remember, syria was hunting god's prophet, elisha.

tenyearsafter, I couldn't respond to everything directed at me before due to being a newbie with enforced posting limits. Well, that's no longer the case. I'm officially off the chain. That said, I look forward to refuting the foolishness put forth on this forum. There's been far too much preaching to the choir going on here and I aim to change that.

Gingerbread, I'm familiar with that verse, but I fail to see what that has to do with the subject at hand?

"Do not put YOUR trust in nobles,Nor in the son of earthling man,to whom no salvation belongs"- Psalm 146:3

"you're pretty compassionate for an atheist"

my favorite compliment of the day.

what a lot of assumptions people have about what makes an atheist tick..

Stand for Pure Worship

The thing about atheists is, their belief system is built upon chaos, if not fantasy. You're talking about a demographic of people that fanatically devote themselves to the premise that life came out of nowhere. Not only that, but when it came about, it's building blocks provided a recipe for the impossible. That being, man evolved from monkies which is the atheist equivalent of the Genesis account. That said, it's difficult if not entirely impossible to believe these people have any compassion for their fellow man considering they believe everything in existence came about by chance. They remind me of the sociopath in No Country for Old Men in that they believe the purpose in life is as meaninglessness as a coin toss. That said, atheism may be as dangerous to modern civilized society as communism was in the previous century.

So I waz reading the August 15 WT Study article, Elisha Saw Fiery Chariots, Do You? and it made me think about this forum. If you remember, Syria was hunting God's prophet, Elisha. Eventually, the king's army tracked Elisha down and surrounded the city he was staying in. Elisha's attendant grew fearful but the prophet reassured him saying,"Do not be afraid for there are more who are with us than those who are with them." The attendant probably thought Elisha was losing his mind due to the pressure when in reality it was the attendant's perception that needed adjustment. Elisha recognized this and prayed to Jehovah saying, "O Jehovah, open his eyes, please, that he may see." Jehovah did just that and the attendant was able to see horses, chariots of fire surrounding the Syrians. Oh that had to be something to see!

You and I can do the same if we imaginate with insight too. When we see Jehovah's earthly organization growing and successfully accomplishing tasks with willful volunteers, we're actually witnessing Jehovah blessing His organization. It's just like Elisha's attendant seeing the horses and chariots of fire surrounding the Syrians. To me, the most encouraging part of it all is that I, you, all of us can have a share in working out God's will. Think about that. We're working with Jehovah when we support His organization. When we recieve privileges, or opportunities to have a greater share in the ministry, or the privilege of helping with the construction in Warwick, in a sense it's as if Jehovah patted us on the back with confidence as He gives us a task to perform.

I think the problem with many of you here at JWN, was that you had the wrong motives, or an incorrect view of your role within the Christian congregation. You saw yourselves as being taken advantage of when in reality you were being used to advance Kingdom interests. You were thinking from a selfish viewpoint, or as an individual. Really you should have been thinking about how best your individual efforts would serve in the best interest of the organization which Jehovah is using to accomplish His will. By imagining yourself as part of something bigger than yourself, you in effect see the horses and chariots. That called, insight. That's called faith. When we think individually, or selfishly, we tend to see things in a skewed manner. All we see is ourselves, instead of seeing ourselves along with our brother and sisters. The worst part is we end up losing sight of Jehovah being our refuge. I hope all of you come to your spiritual senses.

"Building 1.5 Million Square Feet in 4 Years will NOT Happen Without Jehovah's Spirit"

a quote from the latest jw video pimping the warwick project.

i call bullshit!.

Even Nehemiah had to deal with opposers and ridiculers in his day. The same is now happening with Jehovah's organization. Poke fun and badmouth if you want, but all of you are missing out on an oppurtunity to contribute something in harmony with God's will.
