Was the husband a Jehovah's Witness? The article is not specific.

This is one crazy and tragic story. Interesting to see what the jury finds.

Hmmm.....
There's a new Witchtower Asleep article on the right to choose religion and not being an outcast in your community. Could that article have been written with this case in mind? The Society likely knew the details about the crime scene and her disassociation letter as this happened a while ago. Is the current article a way for WTS to distance itself from the husband who is accused of murdering his wife? The WT article illustrates JW newbies, and I admit that it doesn't show or hint on how to treat apostates. Perhaps that omission is also by design. Once this high profile murder case is gone, then the WTS can go back to its mantra of "HATE, HATE, HATE ( but stop short of killing ) APOSTATES".
Now, for the rest of the story....Maybe the husband did just stop short of killing his wife (or so he thought). That way, he will be able to remain as a good standing man in the congregation. He may even be given priviledges..perhaps ushering or microphone work?

Very sad.

Since the husband was a JW and his wife was the one 'leaving Jehovah', which one is demonized according to Watchtower belief? Was the wife demonized because she left Jehovah? Was the husband demonized for killing his demonized wife?
I would love to know what the JWs in that congregation think of the whole situation.
Pretty sad that she was killed for starting a new life :(

Nosferatu,
Or, was he just doing the loving thing of killing her. If she hadn't turned in her letter, then the "elder meeting" hadn't happened. So, she died as a faithful JW and will be ressurected in the New System. Her daughter will also be spared and be brought into the New World, which is, after all, JUST around the corner. It was an act of unselfish love of a husband and father to kill his wife.
