I'm with TEC on this one. This is a heartbreaking tragedy, end of story.
The ability of JW's to interpret (read "spin") this type of unforseen occurance to their own ends is nothing short of heartless. I could site many examples. Just one being the account of a person who was killed by a stray bullet during the Watts riots. It was a meeting night and they were not at the KH. etc etc

So much for Jehovah's protection being reliable. It makes your iPod (which is programmed to self destruct, or can be programmed to self destruct with the next iTunes "update") seem downright reliable. As I see it, the "protection(??)" that Almighty Lowlife Scumbag gives is worthless, yet he extorts a great deal of sacrifice for it. Yet, they have the "time and unforseen circumstances" weasel term and the "they died doing Jehovah's will, hence a resurrection" to minimize it.
, and mostly because of the way they minimize it and still try to get people to believe that Almighty Lowlife Scumbag still offers "protection(??)".

an elderly couple at the KH i attended
lost their only child, a pioneering daughter
when she and her elder husband were T-boned
by a drunk driver as they were returning home
from pioneer school.... he survived and remarried
a woman who had been a B/S of this couple, whose
2 brothers became elders, one a long time bethelitetheir only hope was/is paradise and resurrection...
they would think HS was holding them up to meet
that challenge.... he has since died, she remains faithful.... -

How sad. I feel for any family that looses a loved one to such a tragedy, weither a JW or not.
It is an interesting fact that JW's cannot explain their Holy Spirit interptation.. Which I believe is wrong...
Years ago, when my Husband and I just got engaged, was in a horrific car train accident with two other JW while in a rural area in field service.
The driver a JW Ministerial servant with a wife and two small children was instantly killed in the accident, my husband and a 14 young man survived the accident with serious injuries. It was devastating to all involved.
At the time, there was alot of questioning the assumption of 'protection in field service' myth.

How about the MOST important question here!!! Was any reproach brought upon Jehovah's earthly organization?

Would commentary of the kind above disparaging The Holy Spirit or accusing God of being evil be this common on a similar website intended for Seventh Day Adventist, Catholic or Baptist topics?
Many note that when some JWs leave the WatchTower they are so hurt and disillusioned that they become angry at God or become hateful about God.
The God of Love is not being represented by The WatchTower. They taught hatred for Traditional Christian Religion and continue to train their readers to distrust anything from "Christendom". They even teach their readers to believe that demons will take them over for reading the Bible (non - NWT) on their own or other Christian authors writings. The WT pushes Jesus out of the message of scripture and place themselves into it calling themselves the "..." class in dozens of ways.
What did Jesus actually do to wrong you when he took your sins upon himself? He did not write the Bible to or die just for 144,000 leaving an "other sheep" to work out their own salvation by service to the WTBTS publishing corporation. He died for all men and women to pay for all their sins. No works can save you. Being out in "Service" convinced that this work is necessary to secure ones salvation or to earn it actually diminishes the perceived value of HIS death to nearly zero.
Shaving cream can't make a man righteous - but the WT's Witnesses act as if it is that important.
The Watchtower CAN NOT BE TRUSTED and too many exposed to their ideas think they can not trust Christendom. The WT uses dishonest and incomplete quotes and does not identify the source to hinder a reader from verifying the quote and its context. They condemn one who does try to verify and WT elders say the WT gives everything one needs and one is not to waste ones time reading other sources. The WT, its writers and its editors are exposed as liars by those who investigate their ideas and their organization. I found only hatred for truth in the Watchtower who calls themselves "The Truth". I spent over 40 years in the WT and knew its ideas better than many of the elders I knew.
I know that I found God in Christendom.
God is big enough to handle your hurt that is so great it makes one hate him. But HE did not sin against you. Stop calling (Jehovah) God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit as evil or responsible for the evil acts and ideas of men such as the WT produces. Please, test God to display himself to you - give him a challenge only HE can answer.

Blondie, I think it fair to add that the kind of angels called "watchers" are our guardians. Men are guarded by such until they become reprobate and God removes his hand of protection. That is one explanation for Katrina and Haiti type disasters. (New Orleans and Haiti have large numbers of persons involved in VooDoo - Get angry at VooDooers for causing God's watchers to go away if you think HE was wrong for letting a flood come or an earthquake or whatever to come. Yet, there are reports of miraculous interventions such as the Haitian man buried in rubble for about 6 weeks who said a man in white had brought him water. - That should cook your noodle.) We are not abandoned to chance, time, or unforeseen occurrence in general - that is just another non-Biblical WT idea.
