  Angelic protection-how does that work again?

  by PopeOfEruke in

  we read of recent events, 5 jw children killed in a car accident, jw's caught and beheaded and be-tongued (and not necessarily in that order) in the phillipines, a busload of witnesses burnt to death in spain on the way to the district convention (some years back).

  and so on and so on..... yet the wt and bible too tell us "have no fear because jehovah and his myriads of angels are watching over us and will protect us.".

  well, they do a pretty crappy job at it!

  Dear Dia,

  it was reported by the press that at least one of the 2 heads of the beheaded witnessess in the Phillipines, which were found in the local marketplace, had had the tongue cut off. It did not mention if the tongue being cut off was pre- or post-death, but I assume it would have been cut off first, before the poor guy was killed.

  And I just had a little pang of guilt - I apologise if some of the casual remarks made by me in this thread makes light of the murder of these JW's, of course thats not my intention. Its the way that the JW rank and file are mislead by such dishonest tactics as "angelic protection" or "Jehovahs hand of protection". If such a thing exists, it should be reliable and should be able to be counted upon.

  Of course its not; its so unreliable and random that it may as well not exist. Which it doesn't!

  What is it with him? Has he just been your pet for too long?

  There will always be Jehovah's Witnesses.

  Big Tex, in 1988 I would have said There will always be a Berlin Wall....or, There will always be a Soviet Union...

  In 1989, Poof! they were gone! Just like that!

  Same thing could happen to the dubs......never say never!

  [She began to pray to Jehovah for help and all of a sudden the man's tires started to blow

  ha ha ha - thats a good one! Jehovah must watch too many Elliott Ness movies....do you think he used a gun to shoot the tyres, or maybe anti-matter valve stems???

  It seems to me with all these stories that Jehovah is willing to take on a feeble opponent but if its a tough one like Phillipine rebels then he chickens out.....

  I remember a friend at school who was a devout Born-againer, she visited the USA and had an experience in IOWA or somewhere remote like that. Their car broke down on a lonely backroad while on their way to a prayer meeting at night. They were worried that noone would find them as no-one hardly ever used this backroad. But then along comes a car. The car stops and gives them a lift, and the old guy driving says he never comes this way ever, but for some reason he got a feeling to take this road today. And of course, my friend was bragging how The Lord arranged them being rescued. As a braindead JW kid at the time, I scoffed at her.

  But now I wonder - could it all be just RANDOM CHANCE???

  Duh........

  I think the Kingdom song "Myriads of angels" should be re-written somehow...

  "Myriads and myriads of angels
  All sitting on their big fat ass....."

  Old Hippie, I appreciate that correction....I was living in Germany then and I always thought it was a bus to the convention...I read the article in the newspaper, how the trapped people were screaming to be let out but the doors jammed.....

  Anyhow, my apologies.....

  I stood behind His Bobness (Bob Dylan to the unconverted) and his manager at an Airport counter once! Pretty cool! I think I may have even touched his clothes accidentally...(sigh....)

  But I don't think he noticed the power surge out of him.....

  Well, they do a pretty crappy job at it! Not even being engaged in "Theocratic" activity offers any better odds of survival.

  Trying saying "Thanks Jehovah" after they cut your tongue out!

  And my JW mothers' standard defense is "Well time and unforeseen circumstances befall us all!"

  Well, thats an easy cop-out!

  But whats the point of Jehovah's Witnesses believing in divine protection, if Jehovah himself is unable to offer protection in the face of that all-powerful "Time and unforeseen circumstances..."

  My advice to JW's is : Better off worship the God of "Time and Unforseen circumstance", he is more powerful than your puny Jehovah and the myriad of lazy-ass angels. They are all probably living off Unemployment benefits like the majority of JW's anyway.

  2 Questions:

  1) Will the WT Society pay ransom for the remaining sisters? (After all they only make 960 million profit every year.)

  2) Where were the angels who blinded the Nazi's to the literature hidden in the oven in WWII Germany? Were they on a coffee break? In other words, Why were the brothers not protected while in the ministry?

  Could it be that the Truth is all just a clever ruse?????
