I am astonished that Mr Rutherford is arguing with Sister Basilissa
AND with Brother Alvin who is, naturally, correct. My husband's policy is always to replace rather than repair - the knowledge of this certainly keeps
me on my toes, I can tell you!
But perhaps Mr Rutherford is too poor to replace a malfunctioning automobile? At this point, I'd like to share what one of my 5-but-nearly-6-year-olds said. It was either Zeke or Dan, they're hard to tell apart, but as it was sensible and included copious scriptural references it was almost certainly Zeke.
He said that if something with a lot of parts goes wrong, and if you are too dumb to work out which part is the problem, you should get someone who
does know to take a look at it. Because if you randomly take stuff apart and put it back together again, chances are that you'll put some of it back together incorrectly. So then, even if you
DO find the fault, when you fix that fault the machine still won't work because of your previous mistakes.
I think this is a lesson that we can all apply in all areas of our lives, but mainly in our close personal relationship with Jesus.
