Who will be taking part in the “worldwide campaign” of letter writing to all government officials in November?  I would guess most all JWs, actually.   This will be done with the sender’s personal letterhead, not that of the Watchtower organization. 

You don't know?

Top down, everything belongs to Jehovah to begin with, so anything distributed is provided by Him.  Matt 5:45

Then Jehovah said to Satan: “Look! Everything that he has is in your hand.*(under your control) 

Here we can see how JHVH gave power of control, intentionally, to person who will use this power of control to, intentionally, doing harm to innocent person. Would you do the same? Would you let your loving person to be under control of criminal person? Would you hand over your power to someone who is evil? Knowing in advance that he will be free to do evil because you have decided  to be so?  

Should we accept only what is good from the true God and not accept also what is bad?”k In all of this, Job did not sin with his lips.l

It seems how Job made good conclusion and understanding when he said how good and bad coming from god JHVH. Of course, we have theological problem, because some other Bible verses speaking otherwise.

Perhaps this is not closely connected to "food boxes", in first sight,...... but as in Job example:

Who is the "source of distribution"? And who is "channel for distribution"? in broader sense. :))

There are those among you called "PIMOs" , meaning they are physically in the organization, but mentally out.  I doubt they are among the majority of JWs who would send letters.

Of course there are, how close was Judas to Christ.  Do you think someone who serves Jehovah 'completely' wouldn't be able to discern this?  The scriptures are replete with warnings concerning matters such as these.  Those of us both physically 'and' mentally in know this already.

There is a substantial difference between Jehovah 'withdrawing' his protection and Satan then testing Job with all sorts of problems and your slant on matters.  This is the issue before all mankind, including you, chafing against it is not going to make it go away ;)   I am tested constantly by the arch-enemy and his minions, that is fine by me as it provides an opportunity for me to prove that I don't serve Jehovah for what I can get and I can make Him rejoice.  Job actually didn't know who was behind what was happening and he still kept his integrity, what a wonderful brother, looking forward to meeting him in the new system, along with his now '20' children and wife.  

None of what you say detracts from everything belonging to Jehovah, he provides both rain and sun for all.

He provides the rain and the sun, the natural gifts of the earth. He provides sustenance and clothing to those who are obedient to His will through Jesus Christ.  Luke 12:22-28

 We do know that Satan made it clear what he has control over:

"Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”  Luke 4:5-7

Of course they will.   It is those who are deceived by false christs, false messiahs, false prophets that lead one to believe they are serving God completely, but they are not.  Which is exactly what happens to the anointed "saints" in the last days.   (Matt 24:4,5,23,24; 7:15; Acts 20:29-30; Rev 13:11, 14-17)  These saints are actually conquered by deceit. (Col 2:8; Rev 13:7,10)  The false prophets work in unison with an organization, to blaspheme and overcome the Temple dwelling of God.  (Matt 24:48-51; 1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17; Rev 13:5-7)

In this explanation i see another need to ask this: Did JHVH "withdraw" his protection on Eve and then on Adam to make it possible for devil to "seduce and test" them with The Fruit?

you, chafing against it is not going to make it go away ;) 

No matter of what you or me will/would say about it, will not make thing go away :) 

 I am tested constantly by the arch-enemy and his minions

Bible also say how:  "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind." Well, i am really not sure what "testing arch-enemy and his minions" putting on you. 

he provides both rain and sun for all

Whether it includes too much heat sometimes and too much rain sometimes? God is God, and we are down on Earth.

Actually, Jehovah has provided all things, the devil and his minions then interfere to the best of their ability to distort it all.  Gandhi said, "there is enough for everyone's need, but not everyone's greed", and he was right.

Those serving Jehovah 'completely' are able to compare what is written with what is said.  Quite frankly, I would expect all of this to happen as it would serve to refine His people.  I have found that those more concerned with how they perform to other humans, are often those that fall by the way whereas those that are concerned with serving Jehovah remain steadfast.

@Emma Rose You cannot serve two masters. You either serve God through Christ, or, you serve the GB through the CCJW. 

Blinding yourself from all the false doctrines of the GB, and blinding yourself to the Child Sexual Abuse in the CCJW will not help you serve God. Do you really think God and Christ can be involved in the CCJW when it is so immoral ? Let your Christian conscience guide you with prayer.
