What a great provision the new live RC stream is. Lasted only half a day at the convention site before I had to go home
for the afternoon session. Watching that Friday concluding talk video about sister Woods and brother Fermin… who’s cutting onions? 🧅

Now that the convention season has begun, spare a thought for us who try our hardest to attend theocratic gatherings, but find them more painful and cumbersome than enjoyable. Us who struggle with concentration, us who struggle with the noise levels and social contact during breaks because we are neurodivergent, us who struggle with feelings of anxiety, depression, loneliness. If we could choose, we would be somewhere completely different. But we are there because like you, we love Jehovah.

No 2 neurodivergent people are the same. The personalities and preferences of neurodivergent people can be widely different, even when they have the same underlying condition.

Suddenly everyone and their mother look like Brother Russell!

Jehovah has not promised that some of us will not die in a traumatic way during this system of things, but he will make sure that his people as a whole will not be wiped off. This could have happened in that particular locale in Germany, had the murderer been able to continue with his Satanic plan. Would a hate crime committed to an even greater level have brought Jehovah’s name to a disrepute? I see that as a possibility.- 659 replies

Was this article from The Guardian linked here yet? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/10/hamburg-shooting-police-jehovahs-witness-germany While it mentions the police visiting the murderer’s home, it also gives a little bit of a timeline of how things progressed. Chilling to just think with all the ammunition how the murderer might have gone on killing the whole congregation if the police hadn’t happened to come there at the right time (Jehovah?), and he went to a Kingdom Hall that had only one meeting that night, not another one that might have had multiple congregations meeting. 😭
-
Not having windows seems to be far more typical for Kingdom Halls in the US, perhaps UK, too. Our Hall doesn’t have any windows. In Northern Europe I can’t remember that I would have been to a single Hall with no windows whatsoever, and even then most windows (at least typically) are quite large in size.
-
Whereas in the beginning the murderer is seen shooting through the window, four seconds in someone manages to close the metal (?) blinds typical to buildings in Central Europe, or the murderer’s bullets hit the lighting/electricity gets cut off 😓
-
If the reports are true that the murderer had disassociated himself, I wonder if any part of the investigation will dive into the material he was reading on the Internet, or the people he was spending time with. Even with mental or emotional illnesses, he must have built up the hatred somewhere. No wonder Apostle John wrote that “the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and is walking in the darkness, and he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.” (1 John 2:9-11) 😞

Trying to get up to go to work right now; woke up abruptly several times during the night. Every time my first conscious thought was about the incident in Hamburg 😭 Jehovah, don't be slow concerning your promise!

I don’t see how keeping everyone informed would contribute to creating panic. After all, congregations worldwide have received information how to handle lobby attendant duties, but in this case the perpetrator might have known about the timing of the meetings, and come in as the meeting was ending/people were exiting the building. These articles were published after the incident in Finland when a terrorist killed a sister engaging in public witnessing in 2017: https://www.jw.org/en/news/jw/region/finland/jehovahs-witnesses-offer-comfort-after-attack-turku/ https://www.jw.org/en/news/releases/by-region/finland/jehovahs-witnesses-resume-preaching-turku/

I am sure the brothers will post a news flash report, if not a banner notification on top of jw.org and JW Library, then at least a piece in the Newsroom, when there is more (accurate) information available 😞

Coverage on the Guardian’s website (https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2023/mar/10/hamburg-shooting-attack-church-deaths-germany?filterKeyEvents=false&page=with:block-640a64118f08fe006b95da5d#maincontent) has a following quote: Depending on when exactly this happened, this event may have helped keeping the death toll lower 😢
-
Would appear that the German-language congregation of Hamburg-Winterhude was scheduled for a Thursday meeting that started at 7 PM ☹️
-
I quickly realised why I need to avoid Twitter, especially in this case where feelings are deeply involved, for my mental health… Twitter already full of people offering opinions not knowing anything, leaving racist comments about Muslims being the culprits, leaving political comments how this is not supposed to happen in Europe (stricter gun laws than in the US), posting videos claiming to be from the shooting (actually being from somewhere else), apostates and other ridiculers with their low blows making fun of the dead etc. etc. 😞

Jehovah, Jehovah, give comfort to brothers and sisters affected, give calmness of to us shocked by this news, and do bring an end to Satan’s wicked system ☹️
