    The story entitled "Driver in janitor's death sent to prison" comes out of Eugene, Oregon.

    After reading that story, on the left side of the page where the news is located, click on local. At the top of today's heading is another JW related story: "Longo slayings still pain community."

    If I understand this article correctly, Longo was a JW and killed his family. They mentioned other organizations collecting funds ...but no mention of the Jehovah's Witnesses. I find It ironic that one of the organizations is for child abuse victims.

    This statement really got to me.....and they call them "worldly people"!! Where are the JW's???!!

    Beckstead said the loss of the Longo children, who lived for a time with their parents in Waldport before they moved to Newport, has helped bring the community together and create a sense of kinship. "It's like these children didn't belong to any of us, so therefore they belonged to all of us," he said.
