They have Terry Ratzmann computers and as soon as they are finished with the Encryping they may have more answers. This LIVING GOD CHURCH has many of the teachings as the JWS including Shunning but this cult calls it ALLINATING the unbeliever.Just wonder if this is why he did not walk away from this so called religion if he saw a problem with it.
So sad he could not get help before this tragedy happened but something made him snap that he targeted the Pastor and family. Maybe soon we will know or we may never know and hope this never happens again.

it's just another example of a person that is a control freak and everything gets OUT of control. Not less than a week ago, a guy in Fulton County, Georgia killed a Judge, some other people, and a federal agent; not less then a month ago a man wo was ordered to pay child support, killed his ex wife and shot his own son..
Sadly, it IS another example of a person who snaps one day and goes on a killing spree.
What interests me are the 'triggers' for such events...maybe or surely, some type of 'mental breakdown' had to occur. I just cannot 'identify' with what those people were stressed out about, except that I went thru a bad divorce and am still exiting a bad religion.
I can't help but wonder if the constant unrelenting pressure of "the end of the world is around the corner", coupled with "Alienation from society" and shunning was a 'trigger' for him. I haven't heard of JW's doing that...although I would not be surprised if it has not happened at some point.
At least XJW's are in enough numbers that we 'found' each other so we can vent & learn from others trials. I wonder if there are "Ex-Armstrong-ite types ...?
It has "happened at a Kingdom Hall" already. Anybody remember the non-Witness husband who walked into a Hall with a gun because he found out his wife had been having an affair with an elder? Anybody remember the non-Witness husband in Korea who set a Hall on fire with a gasoline can because he didn't like the idea of his wife studying?
It's only a matter of time before an actual member snaps his chain and does something like this guy did, or worse.
