Unless you have been a victim of this evil government as my family has, you  will not understand.

 

Given that many of the survivors have not yet recovered from their wounds, and the families have not even had time to bury their dead, I feel it's more than a little insensitive to come into a thread about remembering our sister and repeat politically-backed conspiracies against the government.

I don't believe for a minute this dude pulled this off.  Another CIA coverup.

I don't want to promote Conspiracy up here. But we all know Satan makes use of all kind of ways to destroy as many as possible in these last days.

It is that we must put trust in our true king and savoir Jesus Christ and our God Jehovah. Salvation can only be found there.

The governments in this world are not trustworthy and got several agendas.

That's why I don't put disbelief in these stories. It could all be possible.

I think we will still be suprised after Armageddon how worse this world was when we got all pieces of the puzzle together and get the big picture.

Our thoughts go out to everyone in Las Vegas. Especially our spiritual brothers and sisters which have to deal with this terrible loss. To her husband, daughter, parents and relatives.

From your spiritual family in the Netherlands.

 

We will keep you in our prayers.

Let us, EVERYONE, move on now away from the conspiracy theory talk.  This is not the time or the place.  

 

(Ecclesiastes 3:1-4) 3 There is an appointed time for everything, A time for every activity under the heavens: ...  A time to weep.

(Romans 12:15) . . .weep with those who weep. . .

As one who believes in government cover-ups and conspiracies, I agree with you. Whoever this guy actually was, whoever really carried out, and whatever the truth is, who cares? It's all the same wickedness.

 

There is something to learn from this though. Pay even better heed to the FDS counsel to avoid large crowds.

 

This was the final straw for me. I'm never going to a concert, sports event or anything similar again in this system.

What does FDS stand for?

2 Timothy 3:13 But wicked men and impostors will advance from bad to worse, misleading and being misled.

Pulse nightclub shooting June 2016 was worse modern day shooting in USA...eclipsed only some 15 months later.

We in Colorado experienced a somewhat similar tragedy in 2013 when we were flooded. Many were wandering around asking what we had done to deserve such punishment from God, but most were not interested in the answers that we could give them. In any disaster, the world attributes it to God. One of the areas that concerns me is that the authorities are listing this as the worst mass shooting in history. What idiot is planning to cause a worse disaster just to be known as the new record-holder of mass destruction?

:shrugs:   And here I thought one of the worst mass shootings in history was WWII - 55 million dead and lasted for several years   :nope:

 

 

Is Las Vegas the worst mass shooting in US history? It’s surprisingly complicated.
It depends on what counts as a mass shooting — and the typical definition leaves out some pretty bad attacks.

 

It’s already been said again and again in the span of a day: The shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas, with at least 58 dead and hundreds injured, was the deadliest mass shooting in American history.

 

But was it really? The answer, it turns out, is surprisingly complicated.

 

The short version: It was definitely the deadliest mass shooting in recent history. But if you look further back in the US’s past, the real answer depends on how you define a mass shooting.

Spoiler

 

War and combat deaths are listed differently than criminal acts.  And not all those 55 million were shot.

As long as man is killing man, it is a massacre, it started with Cain, and will end when Jehovah cleanses the earth of all who might prey on fellow man! (Every time I hear that, "pop-pop" of that gun, I shudder. It is the sound of people dying, just makes my heart hurt)

I want to age without sharp corners, and have an obedient heart!

A lot of abbreviations on this site.

 

We try to add acronym expansions for these abbreviations, so that if you mouse-over them, a small definition of what it means will pop up.

We heard that a second sister may have been killed but the information is sketchy, has anyone else heard anything?

I asked myself the same thing. Always seems to be a copycat around somewhere. :(

 Unfortunately a sister from our area was there &  was one of the victims. One of our extended family members knew her. So sad, may thoughts and many prayers go out to their family. http://amp.fox25boston.com/news/it-doesnt-make-sense-tewksbury-mother-killed-in-vegas/618336619

Her aunt has created a gofundme to help the family with the medical and funeral costs.

I received a google alert, that said a sister from Boston was killed in Vegas.  She was there with her husband, daughter and 

sister to celebrate their 20th anniversary.   Wasn't sure if this is the one you mentioned.

That has already been mentioned and was in the news. A friend of our heard there was another sister killed but she hasn't been able to confirm it yet.

Your friend needs to substantiate her story, it is not like our turtle to post a 'heard it on the grapevine..'  story. IMHO :(

Then you might have noticed that I was just asking if anyone else had any information. Apparently the answer is no.

Link?

By the way I know a guy in the Philippines who is also pretty likely to carry such an act out, when he's on one of his polytoxicologic highs again.. which may also be part of the explanation of what happened in Vegas. Something to do with substantial drug abuse.

This is my neighborhood. Paid attention all night. Shooter was only one injured. He was NOT at the high school but at a storage unit facility down the road. 

 

It's our sister congregation territory by only a few blocks. 20 minutes from my house.
