Now I know you are twisted in your resolve, Tallyman, to attack and segregate JWs and the WTBS. It appears you
are insinuating/inferring/implying that it was the WTBS & JWs who were cheering, on the tops of those bldgs. Just look at some of the replies from some on these forums over your insinuation.
Many of you people sound like a you are on a witch hunt.
I watched David Letterman last night too. It was very unusual to see Dan Rather that way. I don't think he even broke during JFK. However, I am almost sure that Dan Rather said, "Newark, NJ [,USA]" not "Brooklyn [, NY, USA]". Tallyman, you are maniacal aren't you?
I thought Dave's composure was incredible. His reply to Dan, when he broke down was "It's OK, for God's sake
you’re only human." For Dan Rather, and others too see that much for so long and not crack has to affect a person. Cheers to Dan and Dave! I have a new found respect for Dan Rather and his journalism.

Jehovah, doesn't take any joy in the destruction of the wicked, and please before any go on a tangent, I am NOT
referring or inferring, nor implying that the people at the WTC are wicked. GOD simply does not take delight in death, even when he has had a direct hand in destroying wickedness. He wasn’t salivating at the death of people in the time of Noah's day. Read the account, people had a tremendously long time to respond, only 8 people did. Then
again, you must be a believer in the bible.
I hope your inference, not to mention your twisting of the facts to misrepresent the truth, if it is one, Tallyman isn't
the WTBS. The WTBS and JWs as a group, I find inconceivable would ever do such a thing. When you were a JW,
maybe it was YOU that was laughing and smiling over people dying. The WTBS can't control what kind of
"nuts" decide to come in, same way the nation of Islam can't. Reading your fanaticism now only appears to confirm
that.
Did you smile at the thought of world wide destruction? I never did and I don't recall anyone I have ever known to
make light of anyone's death, even for mass murderers. Maybe the quick-burners would, you know, those people are
virtual zealots in the org. (all substance no content, it sounds like you may have been one, and an extremely long
one at that, 20 years did you say?) who typically only last a few years and then are gone or become inactive.
I seen people come in long after me, make MS and then within a couple years after that leave. All because they kissed ass. That's one of the reasons I quit going. It appears many people here have the same problem.
You find who "rates" on these forums and start kissing their asses.
I believe in Ge. 9:5, but it disgusts me when people carry signs and applaud and cheer when a person is executed.
Even for mass/serial killers. It is something that is necessary. I find it hard that you would categorize WTBS and the
JWs with such blood lust. Would I carry out an act of capital punishment? No, that is reserved for the superior
authorities
JWs are even instructed to decline Jury duty and/or take an active role in someone’s demise. They are instructed to
obey the law of whatever country they are in. Yet you are saying/implying that they take a part in the destruction at
Armageddon? You sound like the people who blamed Moses for the deaths of Dathan and Abiram, when it was
obviously GOD, not Moses, Moses had nothing to do with that judgement by GOD. Nu 26:9; 16:41.
When many of those people escaped that WTC devastation are you going to tell me that many were not happy and
hugging each other. When family members were rejoined, don't you think they laughed/smiled/cried tears of joy?
In no way can that be construed as being happy of the deaths of others. They are simply happy to be alive.
I seen fireman and policeman laughing and smiling while they did their work at ground zero, in newscasts. To say
that they were laughing at the destruction would be very unfair. People have to start smiling, it is cathartic. I heard
people laughing on Late Night with David Letterman too, how disgusting?. You're opinion appears to say that we should never smile again. God forbid if a JW smiles, it must be because so many people died. Please your bias, and the unfair bias of many others on these forums, is utterly disgusting.
I heard/read/seen things that if it were to be taken out of context could be misconstrued. With the images you are
posting from WTBS lit. it appears you may be doing the same thing.These people aren't happy over the destruction, they are happy to be survivors.
When Jesus addressed his disciples about the question they had about who sinned to result in the direct result of
some kind of deformity or deaths resulting (I can't find it -something about a tower collapsing and 18 or so people
died). He basically told them that those are things that can be expected in such an imperfect world. It is not a
direct connection to someone committing a sin with a direct consequence resulting. It is the overall malaise, or as
Victor Hugo put it in Les Miserables, in using the metaphor of the sewers of Paris as the respite of miserable
human condition, what was it called, Miasma.
Go ahead, make some childish remark about my moniker to discredit my argument. But then you are saying what
most people want to hear here, so I'm sure many/most will agree with you.
Twist what you are going to twist, you appear to be good at it. Put words in mouth. These forums don't appear to be free. For the most part, it appears to be people who kiss each other's asses and pat each other on the back, and say things that peolpe want to here. The goal here, is not to build up but to tear down, at all cost.
Wolves pack, cattle herd, people follow the crowd.
