  average joe - your post betrays a lack of comprehension on your part.

  slanderous, just random hate filled accusations

  Where the hell did you get that? I haven't see anything remotely approaching that in this thread.

  Who here wouldnt lose sleep and be a total wreck after killing someones child ???? I bet thats exactly her situation right now.. I bet shes heart broken. I bet shes like every other normal person in this world.

  What does that have to do with anything in this thread? That's a strawman argument. You just created a big old strawman and attacked your made up strawman rather than the point(s) being made in this thread. I think I can speak for everybody who posted on this thread and say of course, the sister's upset and has every right to be and we feel sorry for her and wish it hadn't happened, but again, that's not the point, and nobody has said or implied otherwise.

  Even if this account did turn out to be not completely factual, it can still serve as an illustration about the way many JWs are. The way they claim Jah answers prayers and maneuvers events in the human realm is unreasonable. I can give you a factual example; I heard it with my own ears. An older sister recently told me about a disabled girl of JW parents in a neighboring state - a girl I had seen a few times; she told me the girl died recently. The girl was mentally disabled. She lived her entire life in what looked like a big baby stroller. I don't think she was really aware of her surroundings. Her face and limbs were contorted. I asked how old she was when she died. The sister said "33". I expressed shock and said I always thought of her being about 14 - I guess becuase of her appearance. The sister said she did, too, but that "no, she was 33, and, you know, the doctors said she wouldn't live that long." Then, with a sparkle in her eyes and a grin on her face, the sister said to me "Isn't Jehovah Wonderful?"

  I was thinking "WHAT?" First, so you know Jah divinely intervened and extended the girl's life? How do you know? If he did, how did he choose 33 as the cutoff for the life extension? Second, why didn't he just cause her to be born without the defect so she could live a normal life - not one as a vegetable defecating in her pants for 33 years? It just doesn't sound reasonable; it doesn't add up. Yet, JWs can spin a story to make it give the impression they want it to. I've seen many, many examples of that.

  And like I indicated in a post above, Jah will let an infant roast alive in a blazing inferno screaming at the top of her 18-month-old lungs, yet he will help a pioneer get a new dress for a convention? Doesn't add up.

  You missed the point of the OP and the subsequent posts. Get off your high horse. If you're going to preach, at least be accurate and address the point(s) at hand. It's ironic that you attack the accuracy of the opening post, yet your words themselves are not accurate. You claimed there were "hate filled accusations" in this thread when there weren't any.

  Well said!!

  Joe forgot to reason before he started typing. For the record, " My friend " is 100% accurate. I have no inclination or desire to make up stories. Check the link to the story, it's real. I don't use a false stylus like the WTBTS, although an occasional pseudonym is used for safety concerns.

  The title of the OP includes the words, " in more ways than one." That would include the poor Sister who was driving the vehicle.

  Please, Provide me factual proof for this statement? Please tell me how accusing the entire church of these people as not caring or being sympathetic is acceptable ? He just singled out an entire group of people and said they dont give a f%@K. this is wrong in so many ways...

  "Sadly, not one JW has expressed any sympathy towards that parents of the deceased child."

  "In fact, all that is said is, " Where were the parents? Why was the child riding a skateboard down the road?!?"

  Here is another statement that is wrong! Every person including the OP and his friend would ask the same questions when a child ends up in the road. How the hell do you allow your child to go into the street ? Where were the parents? Why werent you watching them.. etc?

  Also, You said "all that is said is" How do you know that was all that was said??? Please explain how you know nothing else at all was said??? I have family that are Jw's and they are really nice people with big hearts. I can only assume like most people in this world they are saddened by the loss of life and care greatly about what happened. I have yet to see any proof to the contrary.

  there hasbeen absolutely no mention of the devestating loss to the parents of the child." How do you know what has been mentioned? Are you eease dropping on their phone calls? Sitting in the living rooms? At thier church listening to them? I bet they have talked about it quite alot and how sad they are for both the child and the church member.Unless, you can provide proof they dont care you are just hurling accusations .

  Their personal pain is eclipsed by the outworking of Jeehoober's love toward the "true Christian." Sister. Again how do you know? Because your riend told you? How does he know what everyone else thinks and feels and talsk about?

  Yeah, So many posts not just this one hurling accusations.

  I do agree with you on this point.. How could god bless you while allowing others to suffer unbearably? It makes no sense.

  According to the good book... Jah only gives us the strength to endure what ever comes our way and the guidelines to minimize self-infliction (shooting ourselves in the foot). After that it is a free for all (time an unseen occurances) with S in charge. HE dosen't tamper with the wheather so more bibles can be printed while 20 some JWs are swept out to sea huddling in thier KH. One may not know what to belive exactly but common sense can rule out most senerios belived buy the gullable. Where the heck is spell check when you need it!
