As related From a governing body member

We had a governing body member give a talk for our memorial here in Oregon. The next day was a special talk. His name was Br. Rain. He gets a call that morning from Bethel and has to be back in Bethel by Sunday PM for a very important meeting on Monday. Br. Rain. Br. Rain says he'll only be able to give the special talk then has to be rushed to the airport for his 2pm flight out. His flight takes off as scheduled. He arrives in San Francisco on time for his departure relay to New York. At the last minute something happens and the flight is cancelled. The airline had been informed about the importance of his catching that flight, so a chief air port personnel is assigned to find Br. Rain another flight out to New York. He is escorted to a waiting room where this agent scrambles to find another flight out. Nothing. There is no flight out to New York that day. For the next couple of hours this agent, who by the way had a full beard and some tatoos, but was a very pleasant personal person spends time with Br. Rain. During the time, Br. Rain witnesses to this agent. Then during the conversation the agent says that he used to study the bible when he was a small child in Chicago while he was growing up. Br. Rain notices that his last name began with an "O". This seemed unusual to him so he asks what the agents last name was. He tells him and Br. Rain says, "I used to study the bible with a small boy in Chicago back 50 years ago when he was 10 years old," The agent scratches his head for a bit and then says, "you're Br. Rain?" They spent the next few hours discussing the importance of attending bible meetings, personal study & most of all prayer. He promised he would. After about another hour after that, Br. Rain gets a phone call from The Governing body who said that the meeting had been cancelled and that the urgency to return had been cancelled. Hmmmmm Coincidence?

Prefer to think that that angel flying in mid heaven (Rev. 14:6) strikes again.
