Poison Tacos?

[Queen Esther]

Two pioneer sisters who were newly assigned to a
congregation were given territory to work in the
afternoon but the brother failed to tell them about
a certain house that was marked as, Do not knock.

They arrived at the house, knocked on the door
and a very kind lady opened.She told them she
was happy to meet them and that she had much
interest to study the Bible that she asked them to
come in,...

The two Jehovah Witnesses entered and spoke to
her over a Bible topic and the lady showed much
attention and interest,...
After a while she invited them to eat but the sisters
did not accept because they didn't want to be a
bothersome and told her thank you but that they
must continue preaching,...The lady then told
them she would make them a taco so they could
eat on their way,...

The sisters kindly accepted and went on their
way,...
After a while they came upon a young man whom
they approached to speak about the Bible but the
young man said he had interest to listen but that
he was very hungry because he had not eaten
since the previous day...

Upon hearing this, the sisters told him they were
just given some tacos that they were not going to
eat and they would share them with him...
The young man accepted the tacos, they spoke
with him about the Bible a good while and then he
went on his way,...

Two days later the sisters learned the young man
they had shared their food with was dead and the
autopsy revealed that it was poisoning...
Upon hearing this, the sisters could not believe that
the lady who appeared to be so kind wanted to kill
them...
When the brothers investigated about this young
man what was the surprise ?...The young man was
the son of the lady who had given the poisoned
food...

This experience was told  by a brother in the circuit,
who was at a dinner that was held at a home of the
overseer of a congregation for the pioneers on a
Saturday visit...
All those that heard were impacted some said that
Jehovah had moved matters and had protected the
sisters...

One of us said that :  Maybe seeing this the lady was
convinced that Jehovah is the true God....
But the brother continued saying after listening to
our comments all this could be true but that this
act confirms that...

Good advice surly.

However, this particular story does not ring true. Mainly because of the implication that the angels and by extension Jehovah caused the death of the innocent person perhaps to teach her a lesson. Though there is no doubt that in Bible times Jehovah via the angels directly interacted with his servants on numerous occasions. Not sure Jehovah would do that today without giving clear warning about what he was doing.

Second, there are many examples where Jehovah's people in modern were adversely impacted by people because they were witnesses. Think back to the second world war. In most of those instances Jehovah did not step in and thwart the agent of harm in such a way as to cause harm to somebody else. 

Don't misunderstand me on this point. Jehovah can and I am sure he does interact in our behalf when his act furthers his purpose, but in most cases his purposes is not impacted at all. There is no evidence in the example above that what these sisters were doing was so important and that the poison tacos being eaten by the woman's son was related to Jehovah's purpose. Could be, but based upon the information provided it is doubtful. 

This really seems like a story contrived by somebody to stir appreciation for Jehovah in some way, but sadly the likely result if it were shared outside of Jehovah's organization would be to heap scorn and ridicule upon Jehovah and his organization due to the fanciful nature of the story.
