the pressure that the gb applies to all it's victims makes them do it.
if you can't conform to the watchtower, you will not survive armageddon.
Not at all aveng.
I am only saying this kinda thing happens for many reasons and has always been that way. He could have had some serious mental disorder that wasn't properly diagnosed or it is even possible he didn't even do it. The investagation is continuing. I think it is better to wait before jumping to conclusions.

It is extremely sad that some people insist on making it that way. IF He did in fact murder his family then himself and you want to sympathize with HIM for it then go the extra mile and find out exactly why he did it instead of making up want you want as you go along because you want it that way.
You are committing just as much injustice if not more by taking these murdered children and using them in an attempt to only make some kind of point that would not EVEN hold up in court.
FIND OUT THE FACTS BEFORE YOU MAKE ACCUSATIONS.
It can be a hard lesson to learn but it is a worth while lesson to learn.
I'm not trying to PICK on you just trying to help.

over at kent's cozy discussion forum, at http://kent.steinhaug.com/forum/showthread.php3?s=576c225fa464b8a850eaf84a8f511cad&threadid=62, redhorsewoman started a thread wherein she wanted comments about an old highschool classmate (also a jw) that she recently met again.. responding to her post, i said.
too late for your situation, but i'd treat her as i've come to treat my jw family: leave religion, the truth, jehovah (and the rest of that jw baggage) out of all conversations... unless they bring it up.
and even then, don't expect much.

You know there is such a thing as going from one extreem to the other.
People in the middle (say balanced ones) see remarks like that as
Comical.

with an operation such as this one happening it can only be a major kick-start to a bigger crack down on child abuse in all other areas. Especially with the clergy getting so much exposure.

Holding a news conference with FBI officials, Ashcroft revealed that the sting operation had begun in January 2001 and that it continues.
``In the past 14 months,'' he said, ``all 56 national FBI field offices investigated hundreds of individuals who were subscibers to the 'Candyman' email group.'' Ashcroft said that among those caught in the sting were police officers, members of the clergy and - in one case - a bus driver
.
He said that prior to Monday's announcement, the FBI had arrested 86 people ``on child pornography grounds'' and that 27 members of the ``Candyman'' email group have been arrested and admitted to molesting 36 children.
i believe there are many on this forum who are not aware of the many online bibles from which they could almost effortless copy verses to paste into their arguments.
when one refers to a particular verse in a particular book, few readers have the patience to go seach through the whole book.. the online source i use is called "bible gateway.
" it provides several different versions of the bible, and offers word search, which is an indispensible tool for those who take their bible research seriously.. bible gateway is at http://bible.gospelcom.net/.
I recently downloaded the NET bible.
It's not as easy to get around in as having one in your lap but I am enjoying scanning thru it.

dont overstate matters.
the situation in oregon is a terrible tragedy.
the watchtowers policy on shunning likely contributed to the tragedy, it may have even been a primary factor but there are any number of other factors that could have contributed as well - too many to even mention!.

You pointed out something extremely relevant. If this would have been advertised as a Baptist family that probably would have been our first assumption. Even though on a percentage the odds are more in the favor of it being a Baptist family.
Must be the atmosphere.
