Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I remember being at work when I heard it on the news, but I didn't realize the full meaning until I was at home. When I saw the towers collapse, and heard the stories of eye witnesses I cried for the people who lost their loved ones and the ones that got out safely. That night I went to my congregational meeting at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses where we received a special assignment to begin handing out any tracts or magazines, or just share Bible scriptures with people in our neighberhood to bring comfort to them. Soon, we learned of our brothers and sisters being allowed into Ground Zero to bring a message of hope and comfort to the workers there. We may not believe in saluting the flag, but we do believe in people and bringing anyone and everyone we can comfort from Jehovah. The date 9/11 has seared into my brain the scripture Ecclesiasties 9:11 where it says, "I returned to see under the sun that the swift do not have the race, nor the mighty ones the battle, nor do the wise also have the food, nor do the understanding ones also have the riches, nor do even those having knowledge have the favor; because time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all." Although that scripture has the parallelism, the next one staples down the true feeling Ecc. 9:12 "For man also does not know his time. Just like fishes that are being taken in an evil net, and like birds that are being taken in a trap, so the sons of men themselves are being ensnared at a calamitous time, when it falls upon them suddenly." I believe that these scriptures can remind us that God is not responsible for these horrible things that have happened. Jehovah loves us and soon will make all of these evil things and people go away.
