    The JW Spiritual Paradise can be a dangerous place at times.

    In regards to the comment posted on jwdivorces.bravehost.com, is there any proof to back up the allegation that:

    " over the past decade there have been a number of murders in Oregon which were directly related to the WatchTower religion of the Jehovah's Witnesses who either committed the murders or were the victims of such. "

    Google JW murders in Oregon.

    Robert Bryant and Christian Longo spring immediately to my mind.

    If u listen to the news report - he was meeting there for maybe a JC -- apparently a woman called in and said he was meeting some brothers at the hall - this was 8:30 at night on a wednesday - so probably that is the scenario

    What was the cause of their murders?

    Somebody killed them.

    Sorry, I'm feeling goofy and couldn't resist.

    I suppose they will make a case where the shooter was disfellowshipped, weak in the cancer, inactive, or unbaptized and having studied for quite some time before the shooting. They typically do that, so they can minimize the embarrassment of having someone that is strong in the cancer go on a shooting (or baby eating) spree.

    Since he was meeting with the elders, I would venture a guess that he was about to get The Axe and perhaps it pushed him over the edge.

    While this is certainly a tragedy, perhaps the Society's disgusting practice of ruining people's lives by disfellowshipping and thus cutting them off from family and friends, will gain them even more bad publicity. Thanks to the internet, their horrifying practices are no longer something to be hidden away.
