Last week I watched the docuseries on Prime Video called “The Last Narc”. It was mainly about the notorious Mexican Guadalajara drug cartel during the 70’s and 80’s and a United States DEA agent, Kiki Camerena, who was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered in Guadalajara, Mexico in 1984. This is a very well-known and haunting event here in the USA.
However, there was also about a 7-8 minute segment during the docuseries that graphically detailed the kidnapping, rape, and murder of 4 Jehovah’s Witnesses that also took place just days before Kiki Camerena was taken. The JW’s were 2 married couples, US citizens, Dennis and Rose Carlson, Ben and Pat Mascarenas. Their remains have never been recovered! According to the docuseries, the 4 jw’s were suspected by the cartel to be DEA undercover agents. But in reality, these young couples had moved to Mexico to preach where the “need was greater” and were innocently doing the “Lord’s work” that fateful day when they disappeared there off the street in Guadalajara. Not just kidnapped, but raped, tortured, and murdered!
And then there is also a more recent event involving ‘Jehovah’s loyal servants’ that really stands out!
On November 6, 2013 Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines. Tragically 43 ‘loyal jw’s’ lost their lives! But the real irony is the fact that 22 of those ‘loyal servants of Jehovah’ were swept out to sea, never to be seen again, while they were gathered together inside their Kingdom Hall for worship!
Lesson learned is that Jehovah always protects his servants--------------except when he doesn’t!
just saying!
