    A minibus carrying 21 Jehovah's Witnesses returning to Kenya from a meeting (Convention?) in Uganda crashed head-on with a truck. 6 missionaries (an American couple, a Dutch couple, and 2 Kenyans) died immediately and 13 others were injured.

    You hear so many stories where Jehovah saved people calling door to door, where was Jah when this happened???

    A very sad story.Condolences to the families.

    Lets hope none of the usual idiots come here gloating over it.

    Even Apostates have compassion and grieve for them.

    I don't know if JW would grieve if apostates died in a similar way.

    Do you have the names of the people who died? I have cousins who are missionaries in Africa.

    Very Sad! These things are a tragedy for whoever and wherever they happen.

    But, I like to think that these poor people are now on their next great adventure and hopefully really have discovered 'The Truth', whatever that might be.

    Condolences to their families and friends!

    Thanks Sad Emo, I hope they are safe too. I feel sorry for those families that have lost their loved ones in this accident.

    Actually, it is a fallacy that unofficially JWs cling to that they will have individual protection. There was a family murdered at a rest stop in Tennessee a few years back on the way to or home from a DC. I have known of 3 families who died on the way home from either a meeting or an assembly.
