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

by WingCommander in

jw
friends

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.

"But mom was cool"....

that will be translated as "didnt raise him in the truth and this what happens"

my my deepest sympathy and condolences to the family's affected

Watch Tower Society owns web domains: www.MT2414.com and www.PS8318.com

by Gilgamesh in

(my apologies if this was already discussed somewhere else.).

i noticed that the domain www.mt2414.com was taken, and when i tested it, it was a mirror of the log in portion of the www.jw.org site, where you can look up assemblies, kingdom halls, and make either one time or recurring donations.

so i created an account there (you can use fake form information as long as it's a real email address for email verification).

I wonder if its an attempt to give dubbies in places like russia an outlet when jw.org may be blocked

Women going topless in NYC.

by Fisherman in

within the past couple of days, women in nyc are going around topless in public.

i read in a news article, that in new york city, there are no laws against women going topless in public.the article says that family people are getting offended and they want to stop topless women in public.

in europe women show their breasts on on tv, the beach, and breast feeding in public.

Sister attendants not able to give directions to a brother..Misogyny

by Theburstbubble in

at our recent rc i was advised by a sister who was an attendant that they have been advised not to be able to give brothers directions as this should be dealt with by the brothers.

apparently at the pre-convention attendants meeting, the sisters were asked to stay behind.

this was when they were given the news that the brothers should deal with brothers.

Im at a loss as to why this is a topic of any note to people who were in the org more than 5 min. This is aprox 4,000 years old.

have you been moved by something you have read.

by Sabin in

i found this book by carmel reilly, it`s called dear god.

childrens letters to god from around the world.

i promise you that if you are having a bad day this book what ever your believes will lift your spirits.

Sabin, i can appreciate your POV on that book one one level. Reading the words of children, written in innocence, can be refreshing. Its nice to see them believe in good and believe that the world is a positive place and it reminds us as adults of happier times.

On the other hand im not a fan of children believing in fairy tales and buying into lies. Writing a letter to god and asking him about santa clause is ironic to the least. I personally would prefer to hear childrens unvarnished honesty on topics surrounding real items of interest to them (spongebob, flavours of ice cream, favorite dog etc etc) but thats one mans views
