Don't Lose Heart.

    It was in the seventies when G.B. member Dan Sydlik addressed the Bethel Family with the talk "Don't Lose Heart". Anyone remember it ?Some of the things he mentioned about how Not to Lose Heart were contrasted.For example: He would say,"Sure there is Sickness,but my, there is a lot of Good Health! Sure there is Famine,but my,there is plenty of Food in other places! Sure there is War,but my,there is Peace in other places! Sure there is Poverty,but my,there is Riches in other places! Sure people are dying,but my,there is a lot of Living going on!

    Don't Lose Heart Brothers! If this is the way Jehovahhhhh lets it be,then what are we going to do about it.Let Jehovahhhh handle it and Don't Lose Heart.Of cause in his own inimitable way he would throw in a couple of Bible Stories to support his lectures.

    And yet I can't help it,the way things are going in this world today,I do Lose Heart! When I read your posts,when I read about the sufferings of many,including the top ten underreported Humanitarian Crises of 2002,stories of untold horror,and when I think about G.B.member Dan Sydlik's talk way back when to the Bethel Family...."Let Jehovahhhh handle it",I do Lose Heart,because none of it makes any sense! And BTW.How long does Sydlik think it will be before Jehovahhh does handle it?

    I appreciate your responses to this post in advance,anyone around then that remembers this lecture ?What do you think about it now after all these years? Blueblades

    My family have been JWs ever since my great-grandmother went to that "assembly" in Cedar Point, OH. As far as I know, Jehovah has never "handled" a damned thing. And I don't expect he ever will since he is nothing more than a conceptualization, and a bad one, arising from the mind of man five thousand years ago. We have a better chance of attaining world peace from a ROCK than from Jehovah who let men know his will through the Urim and Thumin (rocks) that the high priest played with in the Holy of Holies. No doubt he played with other stuff too.

    Leave it to Jehovah, my ass. And these are the same people who laugh at Baptists for saying "turn it over to the Lord."

    FREAKIN HYSTERICAL, and damn straight.

    Blue, don't be too depressed. Just pick a cause, and get at it. Unlike the world of JWs where you are taught NOT TO LIFT a finger to help a human..... because you might be "delaying" Armageddon and, God forbid, might be fighting against Jehoover......you can do something about it.

    The only reason to ever feel helpless is if you can't help. Now you are free. You can help.

    Hi Francois,I agree with you more and more as time goes by.BTW,thanks for recommending the True Believer,I loaned it to a friend and he is seeing things differently about the WT. now.

    Hi LDH,Thanks for your kinds words.

    I wonder if Sydlik has lost heart by now and is stuck in quicksand!

    And I was thinking how many of us have lost heart over all of this,waiting on Jehovahhh,are now recovered and gaining back heart. Blueblades

    So,its been over 2,000 yrs since Jesus paid the bill.Proverbs 13:12,Expectation postponed is making the heart sick.Now according to this,wise man Solomon refutes G.B.Sydlik.When the heart becomes sick it loses heart.2,000 yrs of stories of untold horror and humanitarian crises when the bill has already been paid just dosen't make any sense.
