This quote:
"But his younger brother, Aaron Lee, did write a brief letter to Moskowitz.
He said James Lee was loved by his family, was nonviolent and did not smoke, drink or do drugs. Aaron Lee said his brother had been “a devoted Jehovah Witness for a decade.”"
makes it sound like he was currently a jw and had been for a decade...
Is there more information about his jw affiliation than this?

"but it is certainly interesting given the debate over the high incidence of various types of mental illness among JW's."
Agreed.
For me it's at the point where anytime psycho shit like this goes down, one of my first thoughts is, "I wonder if he has a jw connection?"
edit:
I am always cautious about believing everything that shows up in the news, though this seems credible.
Good point.

Why the question mark in the subject line? According to his brother, the guy was a jw.
are we providing the material for damage control?
are we making them look credible?
like giving them a "heads up" as to what is ssoooo wrong, and they're trying to fix the fallout!
Clarity: I would say absolutely yes.
... a circuit overseer?.
that first scene, with the searingly tense, sinister, faux-friendly visit and "conversation" over the glass of milk... the loaded-gun smile, and ominous bookbag... something about his manner made think of some just horrific shepherding call.. (and no, i am not literally equating cos/elders with nazis... i am just saying the tone was reminisent, to me, of such meetings.).
[inkling].
That scene in the farm house, with the milk... one of the greatest movie scenes of all time right there.

he said, watch out that you dont get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, i am he , and, the time is at hand.
Alice,
Thank you for those red herrings.
Now please clarify:
1. Did Jesus or did he not warn that during the last days, persons would falsely lay claim to the title of the Christ?
2. Did Jesus or did he not instruct us to DISBELIEVE any such claims?
At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible. (Matt 24:23,24 NIV)

Their very presence here goes against what they claim to represent.... so their names are well chosen. ;)
if you have more than a passing interest in either of these two sports, you might be interested in ufc 118 tomorrow night.
mma legend randy couture fights heavyweight boxing champion james toney in the co-main event.. my money is on couture.
personally i think james toney is delusional for stepping into the octagon as a boxer, particularly against a guy with a strong wrestling background like couture.
True enough. Not all Mixed Martial Artists are arrogant asshats though... In fact I would say Tito and Brock and a few others are the exceptions - not the norm.
lately, i've come to find out that a more than a few people in the area had killed themselves.
most of the people i know of were in their early twenties or forties.
for those loved ones surviving them, it was mostly a shock!
Sorry to hear that, Darth.

It is noteworthy to me that Matthew 24:23 leaves no wiggle room whatsoever:
Then if any to you should say: Lo, here the Anointed, or here; not you believe. (Emphatic Diaglott)
At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. (NIV)
This is a black-and-white, all-or-nothing statement; the sort of statement that is NOT open to interpretation.
Very simply, if ANYONE should say to you "here is the anointed" or "here is the Christ", do not believe it.
Every JW has made a choice to disregard this scripture. With this act, JWs show themselves to be followers of men (the governing body of the WT$) and NOT followers of Jesus, whose words at Matt 24:23 they have chosen to ignore...
