javeca -- People do, you just don't usually hear about it because it doesn't necessarily make national news. There have been bombings and Kingdom Hall shootings. Most of the articles I know of are old...

there was an incident in the more rougher part of liverpool on firework night when some kids set the front foyer of a KH on fier by lighting a firwork and throwing it in, now they lock the doors round...

We must have had a stray JW trying to wreak havoc then! I'm sure we were told at the time that 'many' countries had been exposed to the same level of threats! Scaremongering and cover-ups for sure

If I remember right, the average KH in the US seats around 200 people, what I meant by going postal, is the slaughter of an entire congregation in the US, that hasn't happened yet, because there is no...

I understand now javeca.... but an event like that makes the assumption that our peace-loving JWs would jump to the dark side and become VERY proficient with very big guns while they're still...

Hmm, you have a point. I was raised in an east coast congregation, guns were pretty taboo. I think my dad went hunting with some friend of his once (mid-life crisis for him) and he took a lot of shit...

I don't believe there would be many ex-JW's or those linked to the religion who would be catastrophically stupid enough to wipe out an entire hall of former religious peers ... whether they had access...

sweetangst, Here is something that you may have overlooked. On the east coast, you have the NY and PA headquarters, do the words "looking over your shoulder" mean anything. Or, better yet, "proximity...

I hope that you're wrong Javeca and that a former JW or associate of the religion DOESN'T go troppo with a gun ... but these days it's hard to say how people will react to certain circumstances....
