That is right-- Do not Pray for thier Families!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!They had no business being up in the heavens anyway, the earth iswhat Jehovah created for mankind,Man has continued since the days of Nimrod to REACH INTO THE HEAVENS.While I am sure many of you will disagree with the above statement,sad to say in over 90,000 congregations of JW, Circuit Assemblies ,Special Assembly Days , perhaps not ONE SPEAKER; will pray in behalfof these folks on sunday- beyond them coming to know; THE TRUTHMy wife and i were discussing this jw mindset---and many of youmay recall how as a people we rarely had any feelings for folks likethis, we were often very cold, no feelings at all how many timeshave we heard of disaster striking somewhere, earth quake, flood, etcand the first question out of the mouth of the avg jw is:"Were any bro hurt?"and if the answer was --NO - at that point very littlefeeling or concern would be expressed toward those who were hurt.I was at Bethel when the shuttle blew up in the 80's andduring lunch not one word from the head table was expressed, noconcern for the millions of school kids who saw a teacher die, NOconcern for the folks who lost their lives, no expression of concernfor their families-and while many here often felt compassion for such an event whilethey were a jw--- many like myself --being a Society Man --I felt NOTHING,yes wt had taken away my ability to show fellow feelings and thisis why such dogmas as Shunning works so well-we were taught how to not show any fellow feelings even forour moms, dads, kids, etcmany here who are DFed DAed can attest first hand to theCold Bloodied non- feeling THAT their families and former friendsshow them each time they see them in the Mall, in the super market,etc.someone asked the question on one of the threads here:"Is there anything good about wt" - well the answer is No-for the entire foundation upon which the wt sits-- is built on alie -- WE SPEAK FOR GOD DON'T LISTEN TO US AND GOD WILL KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!A lie that has damaged so many millions of lives- so it is onlynow that I have began to learn how to show feeling and concern forothers, we left in 1998 and it truly feels good to be able to behuman-as ray franz says for the first time in his life he could judgea person based on how this person treated him not whether he is ajw or notSO KEEP THE FAMILIES OF THE Astronauts IN MIND- SMILE--Just cking in- good to see all the new folks hereJames
