A Response (to a Comment) I Wrote Yesterday, After Hearing of the Terrible Russian Train Bombing

Jehovah's Witnesses do a very valuable service for their fellow human beings, with their volunteer Bible education work. It gives people hope; and teaches people right from wrong, according to God's own words. To ban the preaching work would be to ban this source of vital help. For instance, when I learned that a man dressed himself up in a tuxedo; and then jumped off a bridge near my home, holding himself under water, until he was drowned-dead (suicide); my first thought was: Oh no - if only my comrades or myself had reached Him in time, with Jehovah's hope-giving and consoling words of truth; maybe he would not have jumped! I know that Jehovah's Witnesses have saved many lives - even in the nick of time - by the scriptural preaching work Jehovah has us do. To ban Jehovah's true and loyal messengers from reaching out to help others, with God's words, would be to ban a life-helping and life-saving human (and Divine) resource. God has purposed for those who have "found" Him to help others to find Him, and thus experience true peace. What more? Consider today's deadly bombing of a train in St. Petersburg. Again - if only the person who did this horrible, evil thing had heard and listened to Jehovah's scriptural truth, and His condemnation of violence, murder, etc. Then there could have been one less terrible bombing - and the 10 people who were killed would still be alive tonight, enjoying their evening. But, as Jehovah's words observe, "How, in turn, will they hear, without someone to preach?" (Romans 10:18) This is another reason why the only right thing to do is to let Jehovah's people speak, print, and preach His life-saving scriptural truth freely. It is definitely needed now more than ever.
