@chopanddilly1 Thank you, however, being right was not my motive. I was concerned about reproach being brought on Jehovah's great name. Thank you for including the scriptural council. I want to commend everyone for their humble and mature attitude in this situation. It is hard to come across "loving" with limited space, but everyone took the council as intended.
I`ve had Samuel`s photo on my PC screen ever since I heard he`s one of our brothers. He`s been mentioned many times in my prayers of course. Couldn`t help thinking of Jonah in the belly of the fish and how they both must have wondered "Will I ever get out of here?" And they did. Thanks to our loving father Jehovah.
@chopanddilly1 According to the Chile branch, he isn"t a Witness. What has been reported in news:"22. Samuel Avalos Acuña Avalos, 43, reportedly viewed his time trapped in the mine as penance for his earlier drug and alcohol addiction. He greeted his longtime girlfriend, Ruth Guzman, with a long kiss. "Welcome back to life and Chile," President Piñera told him."
Lesson: Check rumors out with those in the know before posting on a public forum. Not everyone who uses God's name is a Witness.
These 2 lovebirds look like they have one of the best relationships of the group!! Many of the wives are very pretty regardless of weight! These guys are all very blessed to have loving families and friends! I wish more of the couples kissed instead of just hugged when they were reunited -- some of the miners seemed standoffish toward their wives when they got to the surface -- or maybe they were just embarrassed by the media. Not this guy!
Congratulations to all those involved in the rescuing of the miners in Chile. A wonderful outcome for all involved. A special welcome back to the surface of the earth, dear brother. From an Aussie who had you in their prayers.
@rossnorose I received an e-mail from a reliable source. The Branch in Chile investigated when the e-mail stating he was a witness was circulated. They found he was not a Witness, however, his mother is.
Very contrasting styles from the previous rescue.

Reportedly he had only 5 months working in the Atacama region, where he was looking for a better life together with his wife & 3 children.

@KCmama63 Are you yourself a Jehovah Witness. I was baptized as one in 1994 and still in the truth.
