Let us Appreciate Brother Lett

First of all, wait until it happens.

Second, it has happened many times within scripture. Not exactly 'brilliant' to face the immense army unarmed with your singers in the lead, is it?

Please give me ONE SINGLE EXAMPLE of something like what you referenced happening in modern times, to any individual ... or any group of individuals .... anywhere on Earth .... ANYWHERE AT ALL ... in the last thousand years, TTH.

If you cannot .... it shows that the example you referenced does NOT apply to this discussion.

It's a "stretch" that snaps when tested.

There is a reason that they call it a faith and that we allow ourselves to be instructed by the Bible.

Look, throw the Book in the dumpster already, will you? It doesn’t appear to interest you. Probably you can find something in the Philosophy or Science section of the library that will work better for you.

Since you, TTH, were unable to supply a SINGLE example, and had a time frame of a THOUSAND YEARS ( ... and more!) to draw from, it PROVES .... and you yourself by specific intentional omission have PROVIDED the proof .... that your opinions on this conversation thread are completely irrelevant.

The "proof is in the pudding" so to speak ... but FIRST ... you have to have some pudding.

Your opinions on pudding bowls may be valid in some other context, but are irrelevant here and now.

And you may want to check your cut and paste voluminous postings from your book to the Apostate web site EXJW ... I did not scrutinize it as an Editor might, but It appears you pasted  it twice.

There are two subdivisions of grumblers that I address, neither of whom like JWs but for different reasons. I would like to post just once and CC it to other, but do not know how. You know your way around there FAR better than I. Can you help me out?

”Voluminous” may be the weakness. What used to be called “complete” is now voluminous. People’s attention spans are short and they respond only to short snippets that they can argue back and forth ad nauseum. I am just not up for it, nor do I think it is appropriate for a Christian. I am pushing it as it is by just going there.

When people do nothing but reinforce existing views, the picture gets exaggerated and skewed. That’s why I offer contrast, not for the origators sake, for that is almost certainly futile, but you never know who is hanging out there. The deciding factor for me was learning that the Philly reporter spent time there. Maybe others do too.

 I make statements and seldom answer replies, unless it gives opportunity for another statement. I do not get into conversations. I take for granted that I am going to be called an a*****e routinely and do not take it personally. When that happens, I let the comment stand without reply so that, to any impartial observer, they are left to twist in the wind of their own hateful words. How many impartial observers there are, if any, is the million dollar question.

I think Brother Lett is a pure hearted Wonderful Brother.  The Anointed should not be ridiculed out of respect for Jehovah's Arrangement of things.

Judith, it is a very true and loyal comment you make, but on certain threads there are very few who have regard for Jehovah’s arrangement of things. Speaking with true brotherly affection, you should give consideration as to whether you want to be here. I don’t mean the entire forum. I just mean certain threads.

Thank You.   These folks who are on various sites to cause trouble and try to stir up dissention need to turn off their computer and go do some physical work instead of the devil's work.

I agree with you to a certain extent ... but there is a line ... and it has to be drawn "somewhere" .... otherwise honest hearted people with the very best of intentions unknowingly will direct you to jump off a cliff (so to speak...) and ruin your life ... all with the very best of intentions.

As a young man, at periods in my life, I was more empathic, and  was sorta like the Congregation "Ann Landers".

I ruined several Brother's  lives with my ignorant advice ... with the very BEST of intentions, because I was not competent to give good advice, on the subject being discussed.

Perhaps they SHOULD have asked me about the things of which I was expert, such as photography ... but they did not.

Bro. Lett is in a position to help ... or ruin ....  MILLIONS of Brothers and Sisters lives ... so he has to be evaluated on what he actually says ... NOT his reasonably assumed pure heart and good intentions.

I have no doubt that Bro. Lett is deeply loved by Jehovah God, and many, many people.

Unfortunately, there is no way for me to wind back the clock, and make reparations for the unintentional evil I did ... and the same applies to almost anybody else, with very few exceptions ... and that includes Bro. Lett.

Here is an example, from his own words.

Being of the Anointed does NOT give license, or a "free Pass", to encourage deliberate cluelessness in others.

You are assuming things not in evidence, THH .... AGAIN.

I have "Google Alerts" set up to notify me on many topics ... and your name showed up on an  EXJW Web Link. ...

I have little doubt that it is like Mission Control at your place with signals constantly coming in from every bellyacher.

....like a blind pig that occasionally will find an acorn  .... I suspect you are right on THIS one.
