There was a table in the room with lots of reading material on it. When I looked closer, I saw “The Watchtower”, the magazine, published by the Jehovah’s Witnesses. I have always been interested in how many copies of each issue are printed.

In the March 1, 2009 (Vol.130, No. 5) issue it says:

— “Printing each Issue: 37, 252, 000″.

— The Watchtower has been published continuously since 1879.

— The Watchtower is publishd in 173 languages.

We do have a very old book by W. J. Schnell in our library. It is called “Thirty Years A Watch Tower Slave.”

“The Confessions of a Converted Jehovah’s Witness.”

I should actually read it again!

I did that a number of days ago. Did the receiver smile? I don’t remember!

Nun bin ich doch froh, dass nicht alle Menschen sind wie ich. Ich werfe gerne weg, andere sammeln alles gerne.

So hat WEC International – Missionsgesellschaft – Rundbriefe aufgehoben, die ich nach Eppstein geschickt habe.

Das haette ich nie gedacht!

Besonders habe ich mich auch gefreut ueber die Ansichtskarte von einer Missionarin, die wir gut kennen. Die Ansichtskarte lag den Briefen bei und ist von Isreal und zeigt die Hauptquelle des Jordans. Die Missionarin will auch das Porto fuer die Sendung bezahlen. Vielen Dank!

Nun sind da auch einige Kurzgeschichten dabei. Eine Kurzgeschichte habe ich im Juli 1981 geschrieben. Sie heisst: DIE ZERBROCHENE MUSCHEL. Demnaechst werde ich sie so abschreiben, wie ich sie damals verfasst habe.

Aber wann ich dazu komme, weiss ich noch nicht.

DIE ZERBROCHENE MUSCHEL

“Have you had a kindness shown? Pass it on; ’twas not given for thee alone. Pass it on. Let it travel down the years. Let it wipe another’s tears, til in Heaven the deed appears. Pass it on.” –

One of my friends, who is not interested in what I believe, was desperate to sell his business.

That was some time ago and I told him that I would pray for the selling of the business.

For some time the shop displayed the “closed” sign. But when I passed by today I saw people working in the shop, doing preparation work.

When I knocked on the door I was told that my friend sold the business alright. I was talking to the new owner!

JESUS LOVES YOU! BUT I’M ONE OF HIS FAVOURITES.

That maybe a great funny one – liner for you.

But I have always believed that and I am believing it NOW!
