Consider the vivid pictures of paradise, and what that does for the ordinary Jehovah's Witness.

There's quality of proof, Chris Tann, and all these claimed sightings are short on proof.

3 news - nzn.
i have been lurking on this site for many years.
i rarely post anything, because my english isnt the best and not sure if anyone understands.
i just recently had a run in with an elder, have not seen him in a few years.
When you fight back, fight from a position of strength. The bible is not your strong suit. So don't go there.
For any scripture there is another to match it.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%2017:16-34
In this section of Acts, Paul says that God speaks to all people at all times through his creation. No preaching required. Of course, Paul is preaching in this instance....
As for people marrying, eating, and drinking, ask your elder friend if he has given up these things? No? The bible verse is not saying those things were bad, just that people are out and about doing ordinary things when disaster strikes. It is not an admonition to give up doing ordinary things!
A verse Blondie has mentioned often is Matthew 24:36. No-one knows the hour. So why fuss about it? The Witnesses obviously don't have the inside track.
there are some mental illnesses which come with the potential for extreme violence.
i'm not talking the sociopath here who kills without remorse, but those mentally ill people while in the throes of their delusions who are driven to kill.
the outcomes can be horrific.. on december 6, 1989, a lone gunman gunned down fourteen women at a montreal college.
Broad brush again, Simon. If you call me lame one more time I am out of here for good.
I am telling you the specific incident that set you off, the Oklahoma beserker, went "postal". Not the first American to do so, and not the last. It is unfair to the millions of Muslim believers to declare their religion to be a disease, and the cause of all beheading beserkers like the Oklahoman.

...so what is the religiously motivated factor to school shootings? How many repeats do we need before we get to the root of THAT problem?
I'm running this as another analogy, not to degrade a great country and it's people, but to try and shake a few people out of their prejudices.
Anecdotal, Cofty, and you know better. Are you inspiring cool and intelligent discussion, or a visceral reaction?

kaik, as I have three mentally ill people in my immediate family, I can assure you there is no "lack of will" on my part to seek treatment for them. What I have seen is a "lack of will" and poor education amongst the health profession and the police service. The outpatient services also are poorly funded.

For Talesin.
Granted, the woman did not distinguish between men or women. Her disorder was unique to her.

On December 6, 1989, a lone gunman gunned down fourteen women at a Montreal college. The feminist movement (the liberals so lambasted on this board lately) picked this up as a symbol of "hatred against women". This bothered me deeply because the lesson at the college is not that all men wish to kill women, but that a single, mentally unstable gunman managed to slip through the cracks in hour mental-health care system. Killing women is just crazy. By targetting the wrong group - all men - the real problem is left unresolved. We don't have adequate resources to identify and treat mentally ill people.
On July 30, 2008, Vince Li beheaded fellow passenger Tim McLean on a Greyhound bus. Mr. Li has been incarcerated in a mental institution ever since. Many Canadians would have preferred the death sentence for this horrific act, and any application for day passes makes the news. Mr. Li at the time felt he was defending himself against his alien tormentors. I have sympathy for the whole tragic unfolding of events, as Mr. Li has the same mental illness as my son. I have heard my son relate his own terrors, and I along with his mental health team do our best to convince him to live in peace, regardless of the sinister intent of the incessant voices.

Certainly propogandizing our planet with the news that we are not under attack by hostile aliens, would have little effect. Metal detectors at bus stations may help. But again, I think the issue is with poor identification and treatment of mental illness in this country. I think it is the best way to prevent future events.
Now we have a beheading in Oklahoma by a crazed knife-weilding co-worker, Alton Nolen. He also happened to be a recent convert to Islam.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaughan_Foods_beheading_incident
Is the problem the violent nature of the Islamic writings? Or is it anti-feminist rhetoric? Or perhaps too many alien sightings? Crazy is crazy, and it barely needs any signal from the outside world to ignite.
I'll bet anything that Alton Nolen went and gone postal.
