Robert had posed these questions in one of his comments.
'Do you think attendees at the next meeting and every meeting thereafter will not have in the back of their minds what happened in Hamburg? The question is going to linger for a long time: Why did Jehovah let it happen? I provided an answer from the Scriptures and it is not possible for any JW to refute it. end quote.
Now here's what I found in the Bible in relation to some answers directly from Jehovah himself to Moses.
46 These are the regulations and the judicial decisions
+ and the laws that Jehovah set between himself and the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai by means of Moses.
18 “‘If, though, despite these things, YOU will not listen to me, I shall then have to chastise YOU seven times as much
* for YOUR sins.
+ 19 And I shall have to break the pride of YOUR strength and make YOUR heavens like iron
+ and YOUR earth like copper.
20 And YOUR power will simply be expended for nothing, as YOUR earth will not give its yield,
+ and the tree of the earth will not give its fruit.
+21 “‘But if YOU keep walking in opposition to me and not wishing to listen to me, I shall then have to inflict seven times more blows upon YOU according to YOUR sins.
+ 22 And I will send the wild beasts of the field among YOU,
+ and they will certainly bereave YOU of children
+ and cut off YOUR domestic animals and reduce the number of YOU, and YOUR roads will actually be desolated.
+23 “‘Nevertheless, if with these things YOU do not let yourselves be corrected by me
+ and YOU just have to walk in opposition to me,
24 I, yes, I, shall then have to walk in opposition to YOU;
+ and I, even I, shall have to strike YOU seven times for YOUR sins.
+ 25 And I shall certainly bring upon YOU a sword wreaking vengeance
+ for the covenant;
+ and YOU will indeed gather yourselves into YOUR cities, and I shall certainly send pestilence into the midst of YOU,
+ and YOU must be given into the hand of an enemy.
+ 26 When I have broken for YOU the rods around which ring-shaped loaves are suspended,
*+ ten women will then actually bake YOUR bread in but one oven and give back YOUR bread by weight;
+ and YOU must eat but YOU will not be satisfied.
+27 “‘If, however, with this YOU will not listen to me and YOU just must walk in opposition to me,
+ 28 I shall then have to walk in heated opposition to YOU,
+ and I, yes, I, shall have to chastise YOU seven times for YOUR sins.
+ 29 So YOU will have to eat the flesh of YOUR sons, and YOU will eat the flesh of YOUR daughters.
+ 30 And I shall certainly annihilate YOUR sacred high places
+ and cut off YOUR incense stands and lay YOUR own carcasses upon the carcasses of YOUR dungy idols;
+ and my soul will simply abhor YOU.
+ 31 And I shall indeed give YOUR cities to the sword
+ and lay YOUR sanctuaries
* desolate,
+ and I shall not smell YOUR restful odors.
+ 32 And I, for my part, will lay the land desolate,
+ and YOUR enemies who are dwelling in it will simply stare in amazement over it.
+ 33 And YOU I shall scatter among the nations,
+ and I will unsheathe a sword after YOU;
+ and YOUR land must become a desolation,
+ and YOUR cities will become a desolate ruin.
