boy who was seriously injured in a collision at gamlingay in cambridgeshire last thursday has died.. nine-year-old archie stevens, of western way, sandy, bedfordshire, died in hospital early on saturday afternoon.. the collision at about 10am in drove road, which involved two cars, also resulted in the death of his grandfather, 68-year-old martin harker, of green acres, sandy, who died at the scene.http://www.itv.com/news/anglia/update/2016-02-22/nine-year-old-boy-dies-after-cambridgeshire-crash/.
the boy and his grandfather were jehovahs witnesses and they were on field service when a car drove into them.
the lad, who is the son of an elder who moved to a cambridge congregation to serve where the need is greater, was on life support before the sad decision was made to turn it off.
Yes it's a tragedy. As we all know shit happens! (and it isn't nice, nor does it discriminate when it does...)
As an aside: I do find it hypocritical how when something good happens, religious people attribute it as a blessing from God; but when something bad like this happens God is not concerned (fault of imperfect humans, devil, etc.)

song 149 says capo fret 3 but it doesn't match the rest of the music.
This piqued my interest. Looks like they've made a mistake. It should be Capo on Fret 1.
has anyone seen this?
when did that happen?.

with the rise of the new literature cart method of preaching, i'm curious as to how the traditional jw preaching work is organized.
the other reason i ask this is that i hardly see jw's door-knocking anymore.are they still going door-to-door and tracking how regularly their territory is covered?
are they still using territory maps and keeping track of do-not-calls, ethnic/deaf houses etc?i'm also curious as to how the literature cart ministry is organized.
Hi Beth Sarim!
"Careful" in what way?

I'm also curious as to how the literature cart ministry is organized. Does each congregation own a fleet of carts and have publishers scheduled for certain locations within the territory?
Anyone who can shed light on how the JW preaching work is organized nowadays would be greatly appreciated.

so went to the meeting last night.
i had not been to one since before the holiday break (3 weeks ago).
besides, it was our first meeting in the new format.
besides the about 48 hours you worked there a week, you would have other duties too.
there was dish duties.
then you had the night watchmen duties.........once every 2-3 years in the home, you pulled an all night watchman duty.
Thanks New Boy. I've really enjoyed reading your Bethel experiences

you may have wondered how accidents will be avoided in jesus kingdom since we are told nothing will hurt or destroy.
Blondie, Thanks for the watchtower publication quotes.
The debates I had regarding literal pain being done away with were just with a couple of JW's I had encountered, who were old-timers. I guess their views didn't reflect the org's and majority of JW's in general.

It's funny how JW's think that there won't be any physical pain in the new system. Just shows how deluded they really are. They just don't get that the ability to feel pain is an important part of keeping ourselves alive by helping avoid any serious damage to our bodies.

just one little thought....adam & eve ate the fruit from the tree "of the knowledge of good & evil".
so..in other words, before they ate they did not know right from wrong...hmmmm so how can you blame someone who does not know right from wrong?.
for a crime to take place in human law you must have the act - 'actus reus' - and the guilty mind or 'mens rea' as it is termed.
