Seven Jehovah's Witnesses killed in Kingdom Hall shooting in Hamburg, Germany.

So sad. I can't even imagine having to be that sister and others like her walking out with their hands over their heads, hoping to get to safety. I hope they can get some quality trauma counseling or whatever kind of support they need. 😣😩😢
Sad to say but it is probably wise for all to give consideration to the increasingly volatile state of current affairs and resolve in our own mind what our coping strategy might be. I do not for one minute think that the bible is overstating what the future holds, even though its language is a sort of graphical poetry of destruction. To write it in plain language would inevitably defy or negate the need for faith in prophesy, but nonetheless it will pay dividends in strengthening our faith to think in terms of trust in Jehovah for deliverance. Getting our oil ready, though so simply put, is an understatement primed with deep introspection into our values in faith and in preparing just how far we are willing to pursue the likely or inevitable outcomes of that course of action on both sides of the coin. It’s difficult to split hairs between faith and preparation because they depend on each other. We will not escape trauma beyond our imagining and therefore our dependancy on faith must by definition, be total.

Given what Robert has written in his essay on this murderous shooting about ’stealing‘ from Jehovah, we gain a detailed suggestion as to how Jehovah views “what belongs to Him” and the protection such recognition of His possessions can afford to us. What do we have then that belongs to Jehovah? Therein then, is the lesson for us.
 
The shooter was obviously a demoniac. Keep in mind that although Judas was an apostle and apparently performed miracles as did the other apostles and disciples whom Jesus sent out, perhaps even expelling demons, ultimately Satan entered into Judas when Christ handed him the morsel, meaning that at that point Judas had no free will. Satan had taken control of his soul. We are going to see this happening more and more. Hence, if the angels do not provide protection it will become quite noticeable. Right now JWs can dismiss it as a one-off thing. Maybe the angels were taking a break or doing something else. But if there is another Kingdom Hall shooting or a similar atrocity then even the hardcore Society men are going to start asking hard questions.

I am blasting out Kingdom Bulletin #24 to the few hundred elders on my contact list. We'll see if they are more respective now than in the past. Sadly, Australia ditched all of the congregation emails they had set up. No doubt orders from the branch to prevent messages from e-watchman getting through.

I doubt it was simply the angels taking a break. IMHO it may have been at Jehovah's or Jesus' order to hold back on the spiritual protection. There will be no denial for many if this happens at an assembly or a convention.
 
If anyone is so inclined please help me distribute this Kingdom Bulletin. Here is the PDF for print. As most of you know, I have been doing mass mailings for a long time. I have used up several printers and mechanical paper folders. On the first mass mailing, I hired a professional company to mail every kingdom hall in America, impelling about half the congregations to remove their mailboxes. Anyway, now that this mass shooting in Germany has got their attention I would like to give them my message. Yes, it is hard-hitting. That's the only way I know how. But I believe the message is from Jehovah. If I didn't believe that I wouldn't be doing this. But it has to get out there quickly. Please email a link to the article to elders or CO or print out a copy or two, or three and send them to individuals at Warwick or to assembly halls or branch offices, the addresses of which are on the drop-down menu of the main contact page. Here is their mailing address: of Warwick, Patterson and Walkill. If you wish to remain anonymous use a kingdom hall address for your return address. That's what I do now. Hey, theocratic warfare and all. ;)

Thanks for your support.

I find it difficult that Jehovah would suspend any protection for an unborn child. I do not pretend to be as informed as others here on matters spiritual. Tragic though it is, this incident pales compared to what goes on daily in this world and even less so on what is to come. It is a conflict of mind in reconciling what is to come with the personification of love. The world has normalised traumatic events and eradicated justice. I suppose there is no other way than to wipe this system from the face of the earth.
 
Got my first response from an elder to the Kingdom Bulletin email.
please remove my email from your mailing list. i already requested last time. otherwise i will report it to the police.
My response: Report it to the police. Let's get it on!

Get this, JW elders will not report the rape of a child to the police, but if you use God's word to expose the crimes of the Governing Body they are ready to call the cops. Pathetic.

Question..can't this elder block your email if he didn't want to get your emails?
 
Yes, of course. They don't realize that when they scold me and demand that I stop messaging them it makes me more determined. You know, Jeremiah's flint head is harder than theirs?
I am the same way. The reason I ask is because I have been emailing my X husband who is an elder and I just found out thru my son that he has now blocked me....so I thought you had found away to get around that. So now I send my info in the mail.

Well it's a shame how far most have strayed. They are blind without real Faith and fall deaf to listening to any sense. Their own lack of faith and complete contempt for any reproof is evident. Come Lord Jesus the harvest is ripe and the weeds are ready to be uprooted and tossed into the fire 🙏 we will continue to endure to the end and keep our senses and live in truth.

2 Timothy 4
Preach the word; be at it urgently in favorable times and difficult times; reprove, reprimand, exhort, with all patience and art of teaching. 3 For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the wholesome* teaching, but according to their own desires, they will surround themselves with teachers to have their ears tickled.* 4 They will turn away from listening to the truth and give attention to false stories. 5 You, though, keep your senses in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelizer,* fully accomplish your ministry.

False teachers with a form of Godly devotion but prove false to its power and from these ones turn away. This elder just may be one who is a lost cause who only has a form of devotion that is false.

2 Peter
But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.

Don't forget the story of Job. He had multiple sons and daughters die from unforseen occurrences and disasters. Yet, Job was blessed. Trials and tribulation is a testing ground to our faith. Yet, people around Job would say, all these bad things are happening to you because you must be doing something displeasing to God. I don't think we should have that same attitude as they had by saying similar things such as this occurrence by the shooting. If anything this should wake more people up to the evil in the world. What that shooter did is something very much like what happened to Jesus with Judas. Yet, we don't say that Jesus must of been doing something displeasing to God to hold back protection.
