When I got df'd my Mom told me she would rather I had died, because then I wouldn't be destroyed at Armageddon. It was going to happen anytime now and I would certainly die!!! That was 22 years ago. It still isn't here.
Oomps was just making an observation of how sick the JW thinking can be. For God's sake, they would rather see their children die in an accident, cancer, lack of blood, than be out of the organization. Strong mind control.
