  Cause of Mass Shootings Mental Health?

  by blondie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been sad to see so many groups and individuals say that the cause of these events are the mental status of the shooters.

  i have looked over the backgrounds of these shooters, and few had medically identified mental health issues.

  it is too easy to think that people shoot or kill other people because they are mentally ill.. actually, many or most people with real mental illnesses are most likely to be the victims of others.. i have been a volunteer with the organization called nami (national alliance of mental lillness) for 25 years now.

  Agreed LoveUni,

  I didn't want to get into who hates each other more, and a Manichean argument.

  They (were trained) to harbor an "us and them" mentality. I know I'm stereotyping, but their level of hatred to the Arabs is extreme. Google "one shot two kills".

  It's not ok to brag about killing a mother and unborn child with one bullet. That's just one example, it's a deep rooted problem. (in Israel)

  immigration: the truth about the lie: crimecrime: do immigrants increase rates of violence?

  there has been a lot of talk about how immigrants pose a threat to the safety of this country by increasing crime rates.

  is there any truth to this, or is it "fake news.

  Agree with BK's assessment from being there. These are some points I think should be taken into consideration.

  On top of being disorganized, many are highly emotional. This adds to it being disjointed.
  

  IMO, I think they are justified in disrupting the meeting for purely selfish and cathartic reasons (you tube aside). I base this on the principle of silencing/not believing allegations of abuse. This can drive people over the edge. I would expect to see more of this as more people exit, and would presume the videos alone could play a part in some waking up.

  Add the two witness rule, to witnesses don't lie, and the kid has an active imagination, and abuse is silenced. So, yes this organization is so destructive that it deserves no respect.

  An 80 year-old man goes to the doctor for his annual check-up, and gets a clean bill of health. "Everything looks great," says the doctor, "What's your secret?" "I have a personal relationship with God" answers the patient, "In fact, every night, when I get up to use the bathroom, he turns the light on and the off when I'm done." "Wow that's incredible," exclaims the doctor. Later that day, the doctor calls the man's wife just to confirm the story about the man's personal relationship with God. "Does God really turn the bathroom light on and off for your husband?" he asks. "Aw Jeez," answers the wife, "He's peeing in the refrigerator again."

  Fearing for life is not a valid argument for being a Christian. A Christian is suppose to go to death (or shunning) to do the "right thing" for his fellow man. It is only after that when the matter is left in Jehovah's hands.

  Ok, you can go back to putting your fingers in your ears and saying "LALALALALALALA"

  It's about doing the right thing,especially if you claim to be Christian.

  For example, you are the only witness to a reckless driver that runs a stop sign, and hits and kills someone.The driver claims that the person jumped out in front of them. Your not required by law to come forward and report what you saw. Some people just wouldn't want to get "involved", and keep their mouth shut, but a "true Christian" would want to report what they saw, even though it's not required by law, so that the reckless driver doesn't hurt or kill anyone else.

  Get it?

  this is the email i have just sent to mr. stewart angus, who has been conducting the questioning of the jw leaders during the australian royal commission dealing with child abuse cases among the jehovah's witnesses, concerning the claims made that a jehovah witness who wishes to walk away from the organization can simply become inactive and avoid being shunned:.

  dear mr. angus stewart,

  i have followed with interest the videos of the arc regarding the jehovah's witnesses in australia.
