I haven´t attend any memorial or other meeting for over 10 years now. During the first years with my absence, a few attempts was made to invite me, but the discussions that followed made the elders think it was much better if I stayed at home. My wife however still goes to every meeting, the time I got free, I used to read your comments here….much more spiritual….

To those taking a stand and not attending the Memorial tonight
by doubtfull1799 ini salute you.
many of you, like me, are probably under enormous emotional pressure, whether from a lingering false sense of guilt from your indoctrination, whether from "invitations," and assumptions that you'll naturally be coming, or whether from outright emotional blackmail, even begging and pleading.
i am thinking of you whoever you are, all of you, even though i don't know you in person.

I write this only to give you a better picture of what was happening in Stockholm last Friday. A Uzbek’s man named Rakhmat Akilov, stole a truck and killed 4 civil shopping people close to a department store. The man was 39 years of age and had applied for residence permit but got rejected. The Police was notified around febr. 15 and was searching for this man in order to execute the court’s decision. However he kept himself under the radar. When found the police also found his computer and cellphone. In his computer there was a lot violence pornography, and special certain interest in IS execution situation. His cellphone showed that that he obviously have had contact with a Thadszekistan(?) (don’t know the spelling) guerilla movement and a contact named “auk fatuma”. Among other thing he had asked the guerilla movement to teach him how to make a bomb. This Uzbekish or Thadszekistan guerilla movement have been well known as the major requirement base for ISIS/daesch and the Kalifate in Syria/Irak. In fact the ISIS payed $ 2000 for each recruit/trainee that signed up with them.
Rakhmat however in Sweden was not known especially as very religious. He was a “party” man with large appetite in booze and women if he had got his hand on some money. He never visited any of those mosques that exists for both Shia or Sunny Muslims.
And Simon I am sorry that I hastily misspelled the Koran, The Koran in my language is spelled The Koran to! And I am sorry to say I haven´t red it, other than a few “Surhas?”. But they were as uninteresting as most of the Bible chapter that I in fact have been reading. I will not defend any religion at all. I hate religious minds, they are so dangerous since they can confuse even ordinarily intelligent persons to commit the most awful crimes.

Islam leaders are fully responsible for what they teach. but
a one that people chose to be infected with.
Free will? Did I voluntarily become a JW?

The problem is not Islam, Catholics, JW:ism, Radical right wing people, or ultra left wing (PolPot), The problem is this mental mind set, when a person believes he is doing the right thing because his leaders (Bible, choran, Hitler, Stalin) tells him to….
All previous and present religions always attract some mentally disturbed persons that believe they have got the truth. I believe that even some JW.dubs could be capable of commit murder if some of the GB told them to …..

I don´t think that this site has been radicalized… It´s only some people that do the same mistake over and over again. They always take one group of people, either Muslims or Jewish, Polish, JW:s or Uzbeks or red, or black or, yellow and say -……they are all the same. If some rightwing (nazi radicalized) person in Norway, shot down 78 young social democrats on an island in Norway,,,does this mean that all Norwegians will capable of doing the same thing? If one JW:s in a congregation assault sexually some boy or girl, doeas it mean that all JW:s has the potential of doing that?

Yes, according to some sources he had lived in Sweden for some years. He was working with everything that he could, trying to support his family in Uzbekistan. Bu to get a job not knowing the swedes language, is quite difficult. Perhaps he got desperate....

Why more highly educated people are less into conspiracy theories
by Mickey mouse ini've seen discussions here about how jehovah's witnesses seem to be prone to believing conspiracy theories... https://digest.bps.org.uk/2017/04/05/why-more-highly-educated-people-are-less-into-conspiracy-theories/.
this last paragraph seems particularly relevant:.
importantly, van prooijen said his findings help make sense of why education can contribute to “a less paranoid society” even when conspiracy theories are not explicitly challenged.

“but I know from my own experience that Witnesses are hugely into (if not more prone to falling for) pseudoscience, especially in the area of alternative medicine.”
I totally agree with you. Practically all members of my former JW cong. had weird ideas about everything, about vaccinations, about cartoon figures being demons, about old antique material possessed with demons, about transplantations, about homeopath, …..etc.etc….
Sorry to say that most of them was poorly educated, and some of them definitely had a very low IQ, and many had psychotic tendencies going on pill…

Breaking news from Stockholm…
One man 36 years of age and father of 4 children are arrested for terrorist attack in Stockholm last day. The man is of Uzbekistan heritage. It looks that he stole a truck and carried some sort of homemade bomb that didn´t blow off. Other persons within his circle are also taken in to police station for interrogation, but not yet arrested. The people from Uzbekistan do often have an Islamic faith and many of them are active in the ISIS. All this information is not yet confirmed by the police. But I think the information is trustworthy.

If you call this a "It is cultural suicide." then the US must have committed this "It is cultural suicide." in or at least 200 hundred years.
