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.

They won't let you leave

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.

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

[Phillip F., 35, (pictured)
a former member of this community,
was allegedly responsible
for the deadly attack that also injured
several other people, some seriously,
according to German tabloid Bild]


[Police say they found a dead person at the scene
who they believe may have been the perpetrator.
]


7 dead
One of the killed was a pregnant lady, sadly.

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".
