Do you believe the the rampage shooting we have seen over the last two decades amount to more deaths than all other non rampage shootings in America?
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.

Religion is mental illness. Being something like a Jehovah's Witness forces you to turn off and rewire natural empathy. People who commit such heinous crimes as this also lack empathy. He may have no longer been a witness, but with filling a child's head with stories of the flood, the hebrew genocide of canaan, losing family and friends at Armageddon, can disrupt "mental health". With this person we may never know if the witness environment had anything to do with exacerbating his (to quote simon) asshole nature.
Any time you can override or ignore your empathy for another innocent human to kill them in this psychotic premeditate way, I think its safe to say you have a mental problem, from within, or from an institution like a religious or militant cult.
so i've noticed lately that my wife seems to think that in order to have a good marriage both people must be "spiritual".
she thinks being close as a family is all about family worship night, field service and praying together.
i know where these ideas are coming from but it is very hard to combat them.
Its part of the witness delusion
They also think witnesses are the happiest people on earth, when studies who actually something different.
Witness marriage is happy for the same reason the Stepford wives are happy.
Being a witness is no guarantee of a happy/good marriage. In fact I believe the cult adds pressure to a marriage. But in a high control group it is possible to have a high control marriage. Not necessarily happy

That is a very good article.
he was the archetype of the American public mass shooter, someone who sought fame and a kind of meaning through death when he could not find it in his own life.
The brazen violence of mass shootings sates another particularly American craving: the desire for fame at any cost.
“The priority of fame is more common and stronger in the U.S. than perhaps in any other culture in the world,” Lankford said. And at the same time, “the distinction between fame and infamy seems to be disappearing.”
it will come as no surprise to many here that the jw approach to interpreting the bible is greatly flawed.
the reason that it is so flawed is that before anything is examined there are already some false assumptions that are made.
jws believe the following about the bible without evidence:.
Its called eisegesis vs. exegesis
While exegesis is the process of drawing out the meaning from a text in accordance with the context and discoverable meaning of its author, eisegesis occurs when a reader imposes his or her interpretation into and onto the text.
Most religious people actually commit eisegesis. The witnesses are pros at it. All thought they try to soften it. They still say Job was real, the flood was real, and on and on and on. They take them as true stories because it lends to their idea of what the bible is.
