Can anybody confirm that it actually was the Hamburg-Winterhude congregation where it happened? We are planning to send a card as an encouragement.

 

Below is the official JW.org link for the Kingdom Hall. Just the one congregation is listed as having a midweek meeting on Thursday, the Hamburg-Winterhude congregation. The multi-level building appears to contain a number of ancillary rooms (?) so members (ie Elders doing shepherding/conducting personal Bible studies etc etc) from other congregations may have been using those rooms at the same time.

I pray constantly to Jehovah, loving Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort. I'm absolutely convinced that He will help to all brothers and sisters who have been touched by this tragedy.

Dear friends, this is a tragic event and we are all shaken. It's just normal to want to know more and that's fine.

 

But please bear in mind that we do not advertize disfellowshipped people nor their websites or books or whatever things written by them. Please do not post links to any such material here.

 

Thanks!

From the UK's Guardian:

 

Hamburg police were tipped off about gunman, but did not take his weapon

 

10 March 2023 - Guardian, UK

 

Police in Hamburg received an anonymous tipoff two months ago about the gunman who went on to kill seven people in a Jehovah’s Witness hall, but he had persuaded them not to take away his gun.

 

A letter was received in January raising concerns about the mental health of Philipp F, 35, and his purchase of ammunition, but officers found no reason for concern when they visited him last month.

 

“He is a former member of Jehovah’s Witnesses who left the community voluntarily about a year and a half ago, but apparently not on good terms,” said Thomas Radszuweit, Hamburg’s head of state security.

 

The suspect had a gun permit as a marksman and was in legal possession of a Heckler & Koch P30 gun.

 

He was visited in February after the anonymous letter was received that had suggested that the business consultant was suffering from mental ill health.

 

During a subsequent visit, Philipp F convinced the officers that there was no cause for concern.

 

Police chief Ralf Martin Meyer told a press conference that there had been no legal grounds to take away the man’s weapon.

That is terrible... it can comfort us, that this poor kid will very likely have an opportunity to live in a much much better world and not even see this wicked evil old system.

I look forward to greet all these brothers and sisters that died in this incident in the new world. I want to give them such a big hug. Please Jehovah help me to stay faithful so I can be there.
