Wow sis you were very strong...an amazing account...thank you

To all my American brothers and sister please accept my condolences over this horrific shooting and I hope none of you were touched personally by this tragic event ... we all weep and yearn for a kinder and loving new world xx

Two or three witnesses kidnapped each week...my goodness are you sure this is true...it must surely feel like the tribulation has started for them....this is terrible news ..

Sally nobody here is judging anybody...and you are right one cannot,tell how they would act in time of such distress...yet Jesus set us an example...if he could flee from the persecution he did. when he could not he did not retaliate in anyway....he is our example. we can all get firey under attack.....but we need to be careful as that can put everybody in danger .....we have had ample instruction from the brothers not to retaliate...as it is not our fight but Jehovahs. everyone makes mistakes..and it must be especially hard on our brothers as it is their natural inclination to protect women and children...our men are no different . We all learn from others ....but we do need to act wisely at these times....we are peaceable people.as far as it is possible. we all DEFINETLY admire our Russian brothers ..indeed all of our brothers who undergo such things... Nobody is being petty...just trying to learn from each experience so when it comes our turn we will know what to do.... sis thinking...

I don't know about all of this...but our prayers are with our brothers..I think our Russian brothers and sisters are a sturdy lot. i don't know who threw the water on the man coming thru the window ...I hope it wasn't us...as they would just get antagonized by those actions. the brothers have warned us in the WT studies that this isn't our fight..we are not to partake in it. someome one must stand up and talk with these ones who are invading and that brother was good at it..but i think every body getting in their faces with cameras just ramps them up. I guess we should have a plan if this happens ..one or two take videos...and certain brothers who talk with them.... i am presuming this will go world wide...time will tell...

No need to be embarrassed brother..Unfortunatly there is truth in your comment..and it is a good reminder for all of us..especially me..so thank you. sis

I love the example of the Exodus and the Isralites in the wilderness...there is a wealth of information and reasoning that we can use for today. That time is like a mirror image for this time...their weakness that I read about ..are Like reading about my own. Im so glad I have the scriptures ....even tho we live in horrendous times..and worse still to come.....we really are blessed to have Gods written word...
