"Jehovah "will stand by us, when we need him the most".
"As of November 13, 2013, the Philippines branch office of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Manila reported that 27 Witnesses have been confirmed dead. Well over 100 homes of the Witnesses and five places of worship were destroyed.
The region has had little time to recover from the magnitude-7.2 earthquake that shook the Philippines on October 15, 2013, killing 218 people. Reports indicate that the massive quake claimed the lives of three of Jehovah’s Witnesses"

"Five persons said to be from the same family are feared to have drowned, after a canoe in which they were travelling capsized.
The five- a woman, her three daughters and a baby- were crossing a river to Prestea and later travel to Takwa for the Jehovah’s Witness convention there."

On March 8, 2000, that career criminal, named Joseph Palczynski, attempted to carjack a Jehovah's Witness family on their way to the Kingdom Hall in Joppa, Maryland. Palczynski twice shot Jennifer McDonel, 37, who was driving the family auto. The McDonels managed to drive away until they could stop and allow Thomas McDonel to drive his wife to Franklin Square Hospital. There, Jennifer McDonel died after the couple both refused to consent to a needed blood transfusion. Thomas McDonel expressed regret that he would now be forced to rear their one year-old daughter, Lydia McDonel, on his wages as a janitor. He also regretted that his wife's employer only provided a $25,000.00 life insurance policy.
Interestingly, two days later in Virginia, Joseph Palczynski's vehicle run out of gasoline near the home of a Jehovah's Witness Elder named William Louis Terrell. Palczynski first asked for help with his vehicle, and afterwards kidnapped Terrell. Terrell, who afterwards explained to reporters that he had recently read an article in the WatchTower Society's AWAKE! magazine advising kidnap victims to cooperate with their kidnappers, drove Joseph Palczynski back to Maryland while quoting Bible verses (recruiting)."
