As many on here know I myself am a JW. Those above comments aren't nice. Especially after what has happened. People have many misconceptions about us and I'm not going to get in a debate with people about it as people are rude on here to me whenever I bring it up. What I will say is we are peaceful people who refuse to get involved in violence and war. So this is really distressing that someone would trager us just because we wanted to be at our place of worship. You all may have your misconceptions but before you become cruel just think of the different people we have attend our meetings. Families. Children. Babies. Elderly. And we are human.

I'm gonna speculate that this is another Religious group that attacked this JW building?
RIP to the people that were killed during the attack.

I have my own theory. Sometimes people can leave and stop being a JW, and quite often when people do that they go to an extreme of hating us and wanting to attack at every opportunity whether it's online, social media, pamphlets etc. It could be a disgruntled former jw wanting some form of revenge.

Maybe not but the attack is still horrific
So
R.I.P to the victims.

I want to thank you for that post and its content.
This is horrific.
Absolutely more senseless killings of innocent people.
Devastating for the families and all others now suffering the loss of loved ones.
Awful news.

I have nothing against JW. They've always been nice and polite to me.

You were spot on ...
Officials said the suspect had "ill feelings" towards the religious community, of which he had previously been a member before leaving "on bad terms".

Jehova created that man. So jehova gave that man mental illness. Not allowing him his own free will.
He can be cruel sometimes.

You can't go around killing people to settle scores . Look at how crazy and cult like Scientology is , members that tried to leave experienced alot of problems with the organisation.

I've invited a few in in my younger days, and their opinion was jehova was the man.
I know at least 3 current ones and one ex witness of jehova. All nice people, apart from one who's a bit of a big shot. He once paraded round the pits of the british grand prix ine year following the tv crew. He was in the background of every shot. So much so at the end of the day dan had to mention it.

I never knew that was a thing.
Hopefully whoever has done this will be severely punished.
