    WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS

    “Jehovah is near to all . . . who call on him in truth.”—Psalm 145:18.

    -----------------------

    So...
    Can someone tell me how that scripture answers that multiple choice question?

    I know when I was a kid I sometimes would ask for a toy - and though my mom heard my plea, and she was "near" me physically and as a loving parent - I did not get the toy.

    Is the word "near" in the bible have the secret meaning of "I answer prayers of Jehobers Bitnesses"?

    What the WT says.

    "Jehovah (the borg) is near (watching you) to all (active baptized JWs)... who call on (worship) him (the GB) in

    (the )truth."

    Schoolboy error.

    You'd have been better off stealing it and praying for forgiveness ;)

    OUTLAW - what are you saying? That god should take care of larger issues before answering prayers for someone to have a good call out in service?

    Get your priorities straight! :)

    The question in the OP was basically about how verses like that should be interpreted.

    The WT answered by simply quoting the verse.

    Ironic (but by no means unexpected), given that the WT says only the faithful and discreet slave can properly interpret the Bible
