While my heart goes out for the poor victim and his family doing what he believes is "Gods Will) for him I sincerely hope his family sue the WT organisation for what they can get in compensation.
If only they had been awakened by the TTATT

Are they for real ?
"Donate to the worldwide work $$$$$ where we will decide if any moneys goes to JW victims of disasters and how much is given depending on how spiritual they are and how many hours they put in each month in field service of course .
Other Brothers and sisters in dire straits "especially need the comfort that only Gods word the Bible can provide " because they obviously are not meeting the requirements of being spiritually strong enough failing in meeting attendance and not meeting the required hours of field service.
Whats that scripture that says something like when you see someone in need you just say go in peace without lifting a finger to help them ?

Prayers ,are they answered ? or is it just self delusion ?
by smiddy3 inafter 33 years as a jw and leaving 25 years ago i think prayer can be summed up with the jews praying at the wailing wall.. all they are doing is talking to a brick wall ,and getting no feed back.
and they expect an answer to their prayers ?!.
christians /other beliefs might find that funny but they are no better off.. prayer is always a one way street you talk either vocally or mentally to god however you never get the same back .. if god " so loved the world that he doesnt want any to be destroyed but have everlasting life " then whats the problem with him audibly answering his servants prayers ?

I`m surprised it hasn`t been made into a movie ,its almost unbelievable to be true but obviously it is.
For those not familiar with the book just a brief outline.
" In the 1920`s the richest people per capita in the world were the members of the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma.After oil was discovered beneath their land ,they rode in chauffeured automobiles,built mansions and sent their children to study in Europe.
Then one by one the Osage began to be killed off" " a true life murder story which became one of the FBI`s first major homicide investigations".

And how many Bible Dictionaries ,Commentaries,Theologian discussions,Thesis,Translators of Hebrew Greek ancient and modern ,linguists ,etc ,etc.will it take to come to an acceptably accurate translation of the Bible ?
Never.
And if after 2000 years GOD has not joined the discussion ,I don`t think I will bother either.

"JW look for the disgusting thing causing the desolation" - Fishy
Where have I heard that before ,
Oh yeah wasn`t that when the GB said that "they" would be crying out peace and security ? in the world ?
And didnt the United Nations declare a year of Peace & Security in the 1980`s when instant destruction was to follow ?
And we are all still here except for many faithfull old JW`s who had put their faith in the GB of Jehovahs Witnesses and died before any of JW`s expectations ,evident realities about prophecies ever eventuated or was fullfilled .
