"THE LORD MAY HAVE KNOWN SHE WASN'T GOING TO BE A GOOD MOTHER FOR THOSE KIDS. If she was a backslider & went & made him leave the field & not serve the Lord & not tithe, which is so often what a woman does, the Lord may have just removed her so He could find somebody else to raise the kids for the Lord.
"SO IT LOOKS TO ME MORE LIKE SHE MAY HAVE REAPED WHAT SHE SOWED & got what she deserved, rather than died as a martyr. The Lord may have delivered those kids from such a mother, & if so, He'll certainly try to find somebody that will raise them now as they should've been & cooperate with the father to serve the Lord & raise them for the Lord! For how could they raise them for the Lord with all those American Systemite relatives living all around them & not tithing?
This cold heartedness is so characteristic of the way these couple of "loving shepherds" dealt with many situations brought up to them. Now that they have destroy this poor woman's character, they go after the character of others who are related:
"THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY, & I'D LIKE TO HEAR THAT SIDE - THE WHOLE STORY! Who were they & what was their history exactly. - And who's this sad TRFer who writes us this tearjerker letter trying to get help for them? - My God, they've already got oodles of relatives with a bank account that have even advertised in the newspaper for folks to make donations to them! It doesn't look to me like they need our help except to pray for them - pray for the poor father & the little survivors!
"You may already be shocked if you are reading this for the first time, but there is even something else - even more shocking, their defense of the murderer:
"I ALMOST FEEL SORRY FOR THE POOR MURDERER! - The poor guy who did it! His life is ruined now! Who knows! "
And following the same modus-operandi (MO), here is closing the subject with general conclusions and the disclaimer:
"TO "JUDGE A MATTER BEFORE YOU HEAR IT" (Prov. 18:13) OR THE WHOLE THING, IS REALLY NOT FAIR & NOT WISE. - But that's my first reaction on what little I've heard about it, & you wanted to know what I thought about it, so that's what I think about it! - Maybe you wish you hadn't!
"So that is the way I feel about it. But of course to be fair, I'd have to hear the whole story, their history & the testimony of friends & members of the Family that knew them, to know why - really why.
"I'm just saying, I don't know that this is the case. I have no way of knowing, except when I prayed about it, the Lord said: "Help those that are widows indeed". (1 Tim. 5:16.) He's got relatives & she's got relatives who certainly help him & the children, so I don't think they're going to suffer. Of course he's bereaved & he's sad, I'm sure. But who knows? - Maybe he's relieved! "
No comments on such insesitiveness
"FOR TO ME TO LIVE IS CHRIST, & TO DIE IS GAIN." "Then said Jesus unto His disciples, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, & take up his cross, & follow Me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: And whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it." "Then Jesus beholding him loved him, & said unto him, One thing thou lackest: Go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, & give to the poor, & thou shalt have treasure in Heaven: And come, take up the cross, & follow Me." "And he that taketh not his cross, & followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me." (Phi. 1:21, Mt. 16:24 & 25, Mk. 10:21, Mt. 10:38.) "
