Sad news re: sister's death

[Cheeks]

Rec'd an email from a brother I used to play hockey with.  An elderly sister in his congregation was murdered on the weekend by her grandson.  The grandson was disfellowshipped and had a long history of drug use/abuse.  Not much else is known at this time but thought I would pass along.

Oh no...this is terrible! When you hear about one of the friends pass or in this case, murdered, it's like losing a family member. It hits you right in the heart. But how wonderful that we know the truth about death and the gift of everlasting life this sister will wake up to.

I am very sorry to her this.

It is a good reminder though to extremely limit - or BETTER - have NO association with our DFd relatives.

I don't know if she did, but Jehovah knows what He was talking about when he had 1 Cor 5:11 written:

stop keeping company with anyone called a brother who is sexually immoral or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man.

Again, this news is very saddening. May Jehovah strengthen those that knew her and help them to stay ever loyal.

Very sorry to hear that Bro., these all will be the sign of last days as 2 timothy says.. but the sad part is that it is happening with jah's people also.. it is very heart aching thing that we too worry jah's heart by taunting him thru the enemy..

We are the only people who are known by the universal sovereign Lord jah.. but sometimes satan catches hold from one of his drove and that person is made to work for him like the Israelites did. Isn't it? !

Yet another passenger on the sleep train to the New System. (Hopefully the grandson may think through things in time). Hugs Brother John.

Thanks for reminding me of the "sleep train".  I really liked that comment but it had slipped my mind!
