Mickey mouse The problem is that the JWs both attract people with mental health problems and then add to their burden.
^^^ This! 100% spot on.

Is there really any universal issue of Sovereignty?

i can agree that satan doesn't see god as a good ruler as stated at gen 3:1-5. he doesn't seem to see gods laws as right or good.

but whether there is an understanding/agreement between god and satan afterward to the effect that he can take the mantle of rulership to show whether his style is best is doubtful.

that conclusion is probably reached because god hasn't destroyed satan, and he is also called the ruler of the world in the bible.

The issue of universal sovereignty always felt illogical to me because, how could Satan the Devil ever expected to win? It would be a non-starter, a non-issue, a non-challenge. Plus, if God already foresaw the outcome, why would the Devil play right into God's chartered course of events? Again, illogical.

His literary output, even in his business website full of empty business jargon, is pretty bonkers.

The german public attorney mentioned that the suspect "left the congregation a year and half ago voluntarily, but not in good terms". What exactly does this mean? Did he simply become inactive and stopped attending, following maybe a reproof? Or did he disassociate himself?

According to media, the guy had been disfellowshipped since a year and half ago, but now comes back to revenge? Hmm ...
User "+" stated (in german) that his official disfellowshipping announcement was yesterday, March 9. So, I'm thinking here that a year and half ago he maybe was reproofed (dissenting views?) and ceased to attend meetings. But only with the publication of his book, last December, the elders had "hard evidence" of him becoming an apostate. So he was disfellowshipped. And, knowing the announcement was to be made on yesterday's meeting, he decided to take revenge?

It seems the guy had a grudge against someone in Hamburg ... former employer, maybe? Any connection with the JWs? He made three fraud complaints against one or three businesses based in Hamburg, and advertised such on his website:

- Rattigan35010 minutes agoCBS news reported he was a 35 year old exjw who had a sport shooting license permit for the pistol and undiagnosed mental illness.
  It's starting to look a lot like undiagnosed schizophrenia.

Holy smokes! From his website, here are his consulting fees:
"Since it is usually advisable to examine issues in a broader context, my minimum rate is a daily fee of 250.000 EUR + 19% VAT."
Inflated ego much? Also, he depicts himself as a trusted "consiglieri", a name we are familiar with the mafia at "The Godfather"....
Somewhat mysteriously, the book has a dedication:
"To one mesmerizing, beautiful, special lady".
I wonder if it's a JW woman in his congregation.´
How he sees his book:
"It is an epochal attempt to create a foundation to be recognized worldwide! The numerator is God, the denominator should be this work!" - Vii
"It should be noted, that this work will completely change your view of the world" p.3
Illusions of grandeur much? Perhaps he saw himself as the founder of a new religion? His style of writing is pedestrian, at best, and sometimes downright cringey.
Also, about his plans for the book:
Currently, the book will be translated into Portuguese, Spanish, French, Arabic and Chinese (Mandarin).

I'm speculating here, but, seems plausible to me that he got disfellowshipped last week, appealed, his appeal came back rejected, and this week his disfellowshipping was announced in the mid-week meeting. The time (9:00 pm) seems consistent with the time when the announcement would be made to the congregation. He could have exacted his vengeance at that moment.
