Jehovah Witnesses of God group believers
I seem to recall that in Africa the name "Jehovah" is used much more freely in religious names than elsewhere.
Is it possible that "Jehovah's Witnesses of God" is an entirely different organization than the "Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses"? A localized breakaway group, perhaps?
That makes sense, so I had a quick look on Google... The only two times that the phrase "Jehovah's Witnesses of God" appeared were in relation to this article. I'd love to know more.

KigaliDr Nyaruhirira says some sections of the society do not welcome anti-malaria spaying teams.
Jehovah Witnesses and prostitutes have refused to have their houses sprayed in the ongoing anti-malaria campaign.The Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) campaign, with ICON pesticide, kicked off last month in Kigali City but has met stiff resistance from Jehovah Witnesses of God group believers and prostitutes, according to health officials.
Dr Innocent Nyaruhirira, the State Minister in-charge of HIV/Aids and other Epidemic Diseases, said yesterday that the Jehovah Witnesses have continuously turned away government spraying teams claiming that the 'spraying is against their religious beliefs.'
"The reports we have show that the Jehovah Witnesses of God refused to comply saying that God is against the practice," Nyaruhirira said. He was addressing sector executive secretaries at Nyarugenge District headquarters yesterday. Some of the areas where spraying teams have met resistance from such people include Gatsata, Muhima and Tetero, he said.
"These groups of people give reasons that are baseless and have no scientific proof for their claims," Nyaruhirira said. And prostitutes, according spraying team reports, argue that their rooms are occupied during daytime. They suggest that spraying should be done in the night at their convenience. Dr Nyaruhirira urged local leaders to cooperate with the Ministry of Health in sensitising people about the anti-malaria campaign. Medical entomologist Emmanuel Hakizimana said that the spraying has now reached 52 percent of the 156,000 targeted households in city. Rwandans should cooperate to have malaria reduced because ICON is effective and harmless, Hakizimana appealed.
He explained that the IRS programme complements other methods of malaria control like the use of insecticide treated nets for children under five years and pregnant women. The US government is funding the spraying campaign through the Presidential Malaria Initiative (PMI) in the districts with high malaria prevalence.
The districts are Gasabo, Kicukiro and Nyarugenge. The exercise will be extended Kirehe in Eastern Province and Nyanza in the Southern Province next year.

What are you being sorry for? That is hope? No one else seem to know the answer but hopes that the poor woman would find it somehow. Who is going to tell her?
I answered the question according to the Word of God. This is hope.......and faith......
But Jesus said, Suffer ( allow ) little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. - Matthew 19:14
When children die they go to heaven.
God is the Alpha and the Omega. ....why did you choose such a name?

I am "sorry" because I am touched by this sad news. It's awful, it shouldn't happen.
Regardless of whether heaven awaits us, this is sad news for the people left behind, those people mourning ! Those people that would give anything for just a few more moments with someone that they love !
Since you talk about Christianity, let me explain it this way...
When confronted with the death of his friend Lazarus, Jesus knew that he was going to bring Lazarus back, he knew that there was something good after this life - yet he still wept.
Why ?
Because he was sad, he saw that this world was messed up beyond comprehension and that bad things happen at random. He also was affected by the display of grief that he saw around him.
As to hope, yes there is hope, but your answer to her question was not an answer at all.
Knowing anything about this forum, I would imagine that most people are more than able to find out for themselves what the major religions believe happens after death. I believe that this post was asking for more personal thoughts about the next life - both from a Christian and a non-Christian perspective.
I for one was not going to wade in and start chucking scripture around. Scripture brings comfort to those who accept it - and for those that don't, it just rubs them up the wrong way. This is no time to find out which position Tatiana is in. Besides, her original post was about the Buddhist concept of reincarnation and in no-way invited damnation from any person, no matter what their faith.
That is compounded by the fact that many here are still "hurt" by their past JW beliefs. When you consider how much the Watchtower Society goes on and on about being "Christian", it is no surprise that when people get angry with the Watchtower, they get angry with Christianity also.
This requires empathy and understanding. Compound this further by the very fact that we are discussing a death - and not just a death, but a death of a child, and you have a very sensitive situation.
I will not discuss the passage about "forbid them not, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these" here... for the reason that it would not help the situation.
It would be insensitive to do that.
However, if you would like to send me a PM, I would be glad to discuss it with you "off board".
God is the Alpha and the Omega. ....why did you choose such a name?
I chose this name, because in the world of Jehovah's Witnesses, the question of who is the "Alpha and Omega" and who is the "First and Last" is an important one. If you have ever read a JW commentary on who these titles refer to, you will have seen that they pervert and twist the scriptures to suit their own warped doctrine.
So... by chosing this name, I am drawing attention to this fact. In the hope that any lurking JWs might (just might) go off and think "Hmmm, who is the Alpha and the Omega... who is the First and Last ?"

CO definition: "pony" is the highest nomination for literature.
“The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures” aka JW Bible is the top of the “pony” list used in universities around the world to teach God’s word. The NWT is THE BIBLE used to teach ALL religions the words of Jehovah. “They” (the universities) use “our” Bible to learn “the truth” but they change the meaning of the words to represent the “false religious” teaching taught by the “worldly churches”. The JW Bible is the most prestigious Bible used in ALL THE WORLD because of its precise accuracy of translation to our language today.
It sounds like he has been wound up by someone knowing the cockney meaning of "Pony"

I am sorry for your loss. It should never happen that way.
Some things just don't seem right.
Hibbie,
Without wishing to hijack this thread anymore than you have done... Jesus' teachings were of compassion. You peddle some other gospel - or if you believe it to be the same, you have only skimmed the surface of the New Testament.
Please THINK before posting, not every thread, nor every emotion that someone has is a opportunity for evangelism ! Especially not your particular style.
Compassion. Mercy. Empathy. All Christlike qualities !
Eclipse, thank you for not tarring all Christians with the same brush
