Brief mention of the fire being of suspicious nature and the rest?
Sarah's dad, Byron Perkins, was a structural engineer and in 1983 drew up the plans for the 40,000-square-foot building. Many of the congregation members helped build the kingdom hall in a single weekend that year.
"It's so sad, you keep thinking of it every 10 minutes, no matter what else you're doing," Sarah Studebaker said, with a dazed look on her face. "The kingdom hall really burned down."
Congregation members and neighbors dropped by throughout the day to share a kind word, hug each other or shake their heads in disbelief.
Studebaker and Spanish congregation member Isela Cooper, 37, of Tumwater looked through a leather ministry bag that had somehow survived the flames and water. The songbook and Bible inside remained unharmed.
"This is so devastating; it's like my own home burned down," Cooper said.
Give me a break! Has the Olympian gone over to a propaganda machine for the Watchtower now? I would think that if anyone torched the building for get back or to make a statement, wouldnt they have chosen a sight less secluded than Tumwater?
I wonder why they are amazed now and little mention was made a few years ago when hundreds of churches were being torched across the southeast?

Nope, remember, when things don't burn, they're possessed! Obviously, this was the bag of a youth who had recently been seduced by worldly associates into playing with a ouji board.
