I am sorry that you feel this way and yes I respect the way that you feel but as far as "Bad" witnesses go JEHOVAH will clean that up, we need not worry about that because they are not functioning within hisharmonious ways. Nevertheless, whether you go to church, a mosque, Kingdom Hall.......YOU know that something is happening to the earth. We have destroyed it. It can no loger continue functioning in its present state and we all know it. Witnesses believe in resurrection and it is not like judgement is not far off. WE ALL know this to be true. In revalations did it not speak of the very t imes that we live in? Sure it does. I went through the whole God is uncool becaused of this that and the other. I know now that I did and said things that were not right because I did not like certain people in the congregations and it hindered me from being "wild", as well. As a more mature person ( and I am not saying your not) I realized i was not turning away from brother so and so I was turning away from GOD.BUT it is not like he is not pleading with us to get right. IS it a humans example we should be trying to follow in or is it Christ? Besides, IS armegedon not a divine judgement? Was the great flood a judgement? When the isrealites wondered for 40 years in the wilderness was that not a judgement? The tsunami was a tsunami actually(speaking through my education) they have happened several times before but just in wilderness like areas....it was an earthquake. I actually hate death with a passion and my heart is weak when it comes to those that I see hurt. To give you a little biblical comfort it would help you to read HEBREW 10:26, for those who know the truth and do bad on purpose. I hope you don't turn away from JEHOVAH cause of human ignorance. I am so sorry that you had to experience such crap.

WITNESS MENTALITY TOWARDS THE TSUNAMI DISASTER
by Mary ini feel like screaming right about now...........the dickhead who takes our bookstudy group just came over and said "...i wonder how many brothers and sisters died in the tsunami disater.
" while that's a natural concern, his next comment blew me away "....it figures that the media hasn't bothered mentioning jehovah's witnesses helping out in this disaster!
" i looked at him stunned for a minute and said "and why on earth would they mention jehovah's witnesses?

Well, that was highly unnecessay in my opinion BUT you have to understand that you don't hear about a witnesses until it is something bad. Although there were witnesses in the holacaust/concentration camps you never hear about them. When you do hear the number seems so small, but take into considerstion that that was all there were at the time. How may times have we ourselves said something that was out of line.......does that mean GOD sucks? or we do? I would have never understood the witnesses if i had not taken it upon myself to develop my worldly knowledge. Too, this person in imperfect and subject to their own ideals and opinions. Don't judge a JEHOVAH based on an imperfect statement. Jesus said to follow him as far as an example goes....not brother so and so - (1 peter 2:21). Besides, although it seems harsh to you, if you study ( I am under the impression that you do) you should know that Witnesses trust the bible and believe in the resurrection, If you believe that they will be back then how deep is the mourning?Acts 24:15 says not only will there be a resurrection but it will be one of the righteous and the unrighteous.People who had not the opportunity to know JEHOVAH will be given the opportunity and this bri=other knows this..PLEASE turn to the BIBLE for your answers and questions they are there. Don't render judgement based on a human opinion. YOu have a good day and I am sorry this brother mad you feel this way. [email protected]
