  VA shooting suspect was raised a JW! He mentions it on his Twitter account

  anyone in the usa following this morning's shooting "on-air" live tv will know what i'm talking about.

  bryce williams (not real name, but on-air name) shot and killed 2 people on live television this morning in roanoke, va. he was wearing a go-pro camera, and uploaded his first-person video onto his social media accounts.

  i've seen his twitter feed (before it was taken down), and not very far down he mentions being raised a jw.

  If the races of the perpetrator and victims were reversed, there would be national outrage and hand-wringing, protest marches, demands for reform, etc., etc. Not to mention the requisite burning and looting of the homes and businesses of people who just happen to be nearby.
  
  You mean like with Dylan Root...where those things oddly did -not- happen? And, no, a hockey game wasn't lost, so I wouldn't expect any rioting.

  Wing Commander, don't forget gun related suicides, which are the largest number of gun deaths in the country, if I remember correctly.

  Mental health -is- a huge problem in America as compared to other places because Reagan pretty much started the ball rolling on completely destroying the mental health support structure in America, with Bush 1 and Clinton putting the nail in the coffin. With most of our large mental health facilities closed, we don't have a very good infrastructure at all in place to handle mental health on the large scale needed across the country.

  Gun control works well in other countries; the U.S. is notoriously horrible with both gun violence and portion of the population in jail (and length of prison time, and a ton of in-prison issues, etc.).

  Unfortunately, Pandora's Box has already been opened, and there are so many guns already circulating in the country that they're impossible to "ban" in any fashion at this point.

  Stricter regulations on obtaining them would be a HELP, but the pro-gun crowd has been made so paranoid by media, politics, and conspiracy lunatics that any forward legislation in that aspect would be taken as the first step to the government banning them, so they'd never go along with it at all.

  Africa for the Africans, Asia for the Asians, White Countries for Everyone!

  asia for the asians, africa for the africans, white countries for everybody!.

  everybody says there is this race problem.

  everybody says this race problem will be solved when the third world pours into every white country and only into white countries.. the netherlands and belgium are just as crowded as japan or taiwan, but nobody says japan or taiwan will solve this race problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.. everybody says the final solution to this race problem is for every white country and only white countries to assimilate, i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.. what if i said there was this race problem and this race problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into every black country and only into black countries?.

  Who writes a post about segregating races and puts "the final solution" in there?
  
  Also, since a couple posters apparently lack a scientific education, "race" only exists as a social grouping construct based on outward appearance, and has nothing to do with anything else. Most black Americans are genetically closer to "white" Americans than Africans, for instance. Grouping anyone based on outward coloration in that manner is one of the stupidest things I've heard of.

  What is their official explanation for not allowing beards?

  by keyser soze in

  i ask because my gf, who knows all about my jw upbringing, convinced me to grow a goatee, just to see how it looks.

  we both decided it looked good so i decided to keep it.

  i tried to explain to her that as a jw, i wasn't allowed to grow one, but then drew a blank when she asked me why.

  ...large companies have grooming standards...

  This logic is such crap, and I've heard it as well. I work for the 6th and 66th largest corporations on the planet, and the grooming codes for them are officially "come with what you feel is appropriate" for both.
  
  It's funny how that has changed. It used to be "businessmen" but then you get people like Steve Jobs, etc. tearing up the world with beards. Last time I heard it, it was "the president of the United States doesn't have a beard!"

  Band Green Day and JWs

  a few years ago i heard of a story about two jw's being at a green day concert.

  i think that the witnesses were bethelites.

  the person that told me that story said that the band was about to play but they couldn't.

  Yahweh's creation that wasn't good!

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in genesis 1, describing the creative works of yahweh, it tells us in verses 24-28 that on the sixth creative day yahweh made both domestic animals and wild beasts.

  one of those two categories must have included dogs.

  so yahweh may lay claim to having created dogs.

  God didn't make dogs, that falls under Witness brand hyper evolution, since humans made them from wolves in 6000 years (as opposed to the ridiculously more lengthy documented time period it took humans to domesticate them). Problem solved.

  this is such a shame.

  i've always thought about things like this happening because of how crazy some people are, especially in regards to religion.

  "A survivor told reporters that the gunman reloaded five times during the massacre and ignored the pleas of one man to reconsider killing the worshipers.

  “You rape our women and you’re taking over our country — and you have to go,” the terrorist said, according to a survivor."

  When will community leaders speak out against this type of violence so that things like this stop happening?
