Moral of the story? It doesn't matter who succeeds or who fails as an individual; the car dealership always wins!
Terry,This is most true. Here is how I think it works: at the bottom of hierarchy:Individuals don't count in the borg. Even 70,000 individuals don't count as long as the borg can break even with their figures in a relatively short time. If they can be replaced and if they get outnumbered by new converts, then what? Then Jehovah's organizationHAS JEHOVAH'S BLESSING!!!They are as freaking successful as Job. He lost lost ten children as a result of God's gambling with Satan, but then he gained another ten children, and many cattle too :)Plus as the Bible tells us:"And no women were found as pretty as Job?s (new) daughters in all the land, and their father proceeded to give them an inheritance in among their brothers. And Job continued living after this a hundred and forty years and came to see his sons and his grandsons?four generations. 17 And gradually Job died, old and satisfied with days."For the average JW, the WTS story has so far been a success story no matter what. I hope the WTS Flying Circus dies satisfied with days too. After a life of "a hundred and forty years", which is 2014 (counting from 1874 - their first important date).Know my chronology!!!
