  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.

  Simon! You should have let me know! I would've taken you to the range! Shown you the REAL San Antonio. Taken you to eat some REAL Mexican food. Not the tourist crap. I'm 30 minutes away. And moving next week. LOL

  rachael de vienne is one of the authors of separate identity, a history of the watch tower's earliest years.

  she's received low grade harassment from the watchtower for years.

  she posted about it on her personal blog.

  There was this one elder in our hall all the kids called "Uncle Billy."

  In retrospect, it was kind of creepy, although he wasn't really a creep.

  Like guns, breakfast tacos are easily obtainable where I live...and they can be just as deadly.

  Every day, 2,200 people die from cardiovascular diseases—that's nearly 800,000 Americans each year, or 1 in every 3 deaths.

  #YOLO

  
  

  (Confession: I made the comparison between tacos and guns because I wanted to share a picture of this wonderful Chorizo and Egg taco...)

  Guns will tear us apart, Chorizo and Egg will bring us together.

  Evolutionists Who Are Against Darwinism

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is a nice list of evolutionary scientists and their quotes regarding the impossibility of naturalism or materialism being able to account for life as it is observed :.

  evolutionists against darwinism.

  most, while sympathetic and respectful of their more committed colleagues, are disparaged as morons for not carrying the materialism banner as a religion, as a matter of faith.

  WHEN people leave a cult...MAN landed on the moon? Or critical thinking......

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i believe anyone who has voluntarily left a cult has shown they can adapt to new solutions, and have used " critical thinking" skills otherwise most would not have left.. yet i believe a safe place for support is still needed and this safe place i believe is searched for.. now i may not measure up to much in ways of education, but for me personally " critical thinking skills" = " new" a " new" way of thinking, that takes time for me the individual to be visual and to contemplate.

  and the more i read about " critical thinking," the more convinced i am that i can live with the ridicule of those that claim i do not possess it.

  furthermore i would say those that criticise others " critical thinking skills," often luck the sensibility and thoughts to snore, spit, and fart....nor would they understand a room full of tobacco smoke and cheap booze...where " critical thinking " can often be found in its most profound, in the most sensitive poems and "pictures" that were ever drawn.

  I think a better way of putting it would be "you need to improve your critical thinking skills."

  I would venture to say that the fact that someone was able to leave the cult means they have at least SOME measure of critical thinking skills.

  Seriously, they were hero's. It shows what training can accomplish. If there were 10 amateurs with handguns I suspect there would be 20 dead people instead.

  Though that last sentence was hyperbole, I do agree that training is important.

  I train, along with many other gun zombies, at the local range.

  I am also of the opinion, that in order to own a gun, you shouldn't necessarily have to be licensed, but at least have a certification that you've been through some type of approved training course on safety and etiquette.

  For example: in many states, Texas included, in order to get a hunting license, you must have been through an approved hunter safety course. Why the hell can't we have the same thing for gun ownership? It's not a license, it's just a certification that you've been through the course and passed it.

  However, in no way does my having that stance jive with supporting an outright ban.
