Really sad. My thoughts go out to the victims and their families. Seriously, I hope that their faith helps get them through this tragedy.

Watchtower will send them a carton of the brochure, What Hope for Dead Loved Ones?

With 70 people on that one truck, it must have looked like the picture Scott posted.
I wonder if they are all from the same congregation, imagine that, your whole insular community decimated, those 40 injured, they are probably going to need some looking after, and despite its oil wealth, I dont think much finds its way to the people in Nigeria.
Every meeting those 20 empty seats are going to bring it all back.

Sorry, I didn't see this thread ealier. I just re-posted from a google alert for Jehovahs' Witnesses and added keywords so it would get picked up. This stuff infuriates me. I remember dirt poor single moms driving rat trap cars 10+ hrs to attend "assigned" conventions. They had tears rolling down their cheeks...and they were not tears of joy. When I proposed RENTING a nearby facility for $2 per day per publisher for conventions I was shouted down...as not "following theocratic direction" ....BS. It's all about more $$$$$$$$$$$ for "mother". Not about the down troden.

This could have all been avoided if they had walked like they normally do.

With all Jehovah's billions you would have thought he could have set aside enough money to provide safe and adequate transportation for his worshippers. Tight wad!
