Hi, Leander.
I had a very similar line of thought as yours.
Also, the man who gave the talk at my congo mentioned how tragic the events of 9-11 were.
All I kept thinking about is this: How can a JW call the 9-11 incident a tragedy and then rejoice at the closeness of Armageddon?
"The WTC people died and we're sad. The Armageddon people will die and we're happy. Die tragically now and we'll mourn for you. Die in Armageddon and we'll pull out our harps and wine and sing and dance the everlasting years away"
God is smiling on you but He's frowning, too, because only God know's what you'll go through.
