That is sad news...my heart goes out to the families.

If my memory is serving me at all then just attending or actually returning from a religious cult's meeting is not any safeguard at all. Was it in NY or where but a dub sister was shot dead at the bus stop.

If anyone ever believe in these stories distributed by the borg, it is always a pioneer that do receive money from heaven etc. So in dire need of a safeguard against wordly habit of dying at an instance of a random accident - pioneer.

I beg to differ on a certain point you made, Haereticus. (With all do respect, of course!)

[ "So in dire need of a safeguard against wordly habit of dying at an instance of a random accident - pioneer." ]

I received a message during July this year from a friend of mine who lives in Los Angeles, California USA.(My former "territory" and "stomping grounds" before my wife and I moved here to Japan) . Anyways, this friend of mine, who just so happens to be a pioneer, told me that a young brother "publisher" in the South Bay area of Los Angeles was shot and killed while in a car group while doing return visits. This was in the Carson area. He never mentioned any newspaper articles, however, his week-end pioneer partner was also in the same car. Police assumed that it was gang violence (rivalry) and this young brother was hit by a stray bullet. I believe my friend mentioned that this person was in his early 20's.

SAD!

ANGRY AT GANGS!

I may well have expressed my view poorly, in which case I regret possible damages. Earlier messages reflected somewhat clearly the idea that one (i.e. pious dub) should not miss meetings, field and lip service and all that goes with it. That added to the fact that the borg does utmost to promote full time preaching brought up my memories from 30 yrs back. It seems that the experiences (how true they may be) try to uphold the idea that pioneering is the only way to go.

Irony is not the easiest form art - especially if one do not master the lingo.

That's okay! I really know what you meant. All in all, it's sad to die so prematurely in any senerio. The Society's System of Things almost got me into the pioneer ranks. I'm glad I held back. But I guess I didn't hold back far enough because I'm still "towing the line". (Soon however, they will look back and find my place empty!)
