This has been repeated in so many church bulletins - Presbyterians, Ass. of God, Masons (fer crikey sake!), Mormons, Catlicks, etc. It surprises me that JWs don't realize that they are co-opting Christendom's words.

A Lone Ember
5th Sunday in Easter
May 10, 2009Msgr. Robert Pearson
A member of a certain church, who previously had been attending Mass regularly, stopped going. After a few weeks, the priest decided to visit him. It was a chilly evening. The priest found the man at home alone, sitting before a blazing fire. Guessing the reason for the priest’s visit, the man welcomed him, led him to a comfortable chair near the fireplace and waited.

The dying ember is me. The fire is Christ. Except in my version, I tried to jump back in the fire and the elder put his boot on me.

i heard the same tripe from
the platform, a condensed
version with the same point...in fact, now that i think about it,
i remember an elderly sister who
would never have gotten it off the
internet giving her rendition of it
over a decade ago!!! it has been
making the rounds for years!tripe

It's funny how an Elder removed the ember. They like to play god don't they.
