by solomon intoday's study picks on the most vulnerable among us.

yea i have to say i dont see it myself... perhaps around para 8 they talk about someone dealing with cancer and then her husband also had a major operation. the advise was pray etc etc... but thats not depression, that going through major problems. I think all christian religions would advocate prayer under those circumstances.

perhaps you could copy and paste the paragraphs in question. Simply stating something dosent carry the same weight as quoting directly what the wt says.

JW tour bus crashes in Florida, with fatalities-
by moshe inmiami - a bus carrying 32 members of a church group hit a concrete overpass at miami international airport after the driver got lost, killing two elderly people on board and leaving three others critically injured, officials said saturday.. the large, white bus was too tall for the 8-foot-6-inch entrance to the arrivals area, said airport spokesman greg chin.
buses are supposed to go through the departures area, which has a higher ceiling, he said.. chin said the passengers told him they were part of a group of jehovah's witnesses headed to west palm beach.
police said in a news release that the group had chartered the bus to take them to a church convention there-.

Zid/las Dont misinderstand me, im not saying it couldnt happen in any cult anywhere, im saying that being isolated in a foreign country made theass suicide/murders harder to prevent with no social safety nets thT would have been available here in the states for those that were reluctant to follow through. It certainly HAS happened here (USA).. I think of the "heavens gate" folks for one, the folks in waco are another example. It can happen. Just saying isolating them all but sealed the fate.

I agree 100% that their deaths shouldnt be celebrated or mocked, however the first comments by malsonella are a acurate with regard to the view that the families need "spritual food" in their grief etc etc... Thats typical dubbie speak at its finest and while i dont like mocking the tradgedy its important to note that the famlies are unlikely to recieve much sympathy or support. The family and friends of the deceased will be expected to be at the convention taking notes and clapping when qued. The dead will have funeral services at the hall that are nothing more than advertising for the organization since it is specifically forbidden to eulogize the dead. His remarks, while hard and unfeeling, are completly accurate.
I would also add this is not an "anti JW" site. Its simply a place where dubbies are free to ask questions :)

Its ok palmie. Im sure the lord whispered to them that it was ok :)
One thing that really made jones town possible was the fact that they had been relocated. By removing them from a known enviornment and taking them litterally across the ocean it all but sealed their fate. It was no longer possible to simply leave and go "home" or fall back on know social support systems or known governmental authority (such as the police). They were quiet litterally strangers in a strange land and had no means of fallback or retreat that felt safe. They were an island, so to speak, emotionally and physically for all intents and purposes.

Rick Fearon should apologise for accusing faders of being cowards
by cedars ini hate doing this type of thread.
none of us are perfect, least of all myself, and i would rather focus any criticism on the watch tower society for damaging people's lives.
however, in the short period since i've been a member of this forum i've noticed one member in particular deteriorate in his behaviour into the type of individual who threatens to undermine the credibility of the entire website.

The tradgedy is that the topic he was advertising for tonight is a really good one and deserves to be understood. The myth of brooklyn's resistance to the Nazi's should be exposed. Sadly, Rick's reputation preceds him
