Club Adventist
Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

New electric meters in Israel can go pre-paid

"The meter is also programmed to prevent it from shutting off power on the Sabbath and Jewish holidays."

Now let me wrap my brain around this...

Keeping the power on is okay, because shutting it off on the Sabbath is work?

I'm happy that at least they can see that God does not withhold his blessings and sustaining power on the Sabbath

Gotta give them an A for effort!

Thanks for sharing this!

YOu have to think about it for a while to get the full implication. Gotta hand it to them, they have proved, one more time, that if you believe in something enough you can find a way to work it into your lifestyle.

OK, I dont get it. Dont they have electricity on command like we do? You know, flip a switch and there it is? So why do they need a meter programmed to not let it go off? Do they have to buy electricity every day? ROFL I sound very dense dont I? I know about not turning on or off things etc. Why not just use timers on their lamps and stuff?
