  O K so what is a "real J W?" .....technically a real witness for the Almighty God , or indeed a genuine Christian, would never act in that horrible way. No more than a genuine follower of Islam or The Buddha because they also teach good morals and behaviour.

  So a genuinely religious person acts with kindness and restraint, but we know that bad things stil happen in the ranks of all these major religions. Do J W's cut those organizations some slack and admit that the perpetrators were not genuine in their faith? No, never in my experience.

  In cases like this (heaven knows they are not so infrequent,eg Christian Longo ) dubs must accept that bad things can still be done by their members . They are no different in this regard.

  Over the Memorial Day weekend another item hit the Oregon news http://www.kgw.com/news/local/Two-dead-one-injured-in-Hillsboro-shooting-209118911.html

  I knew all three of the individuals in this case and I feel terrible about it and for the daughters of the Van Pattens. The strange thing is how quickly this news item went silent. I'm wondering if BECAUSE it involved JW's maybe it was shut down. There was no mention of JW's in the article and in fact, I'm thinking that the family had left the religion already but the fact of the matter is, all three WERE JW's at the time I left 14 years ago.

  Are the news agencies a bit leary of keeping news items involving JW's up for comment? I noticed that at least one of the news reports had NO space for comment. Maybe they learned from Whitney Heichel case not to give too much air time to these people or their detractors............that is my take on it at the moment anyway.

  That the witnesses used this incident as a POSITIVE in their DC is just more proof of how delusional they are IMO.
