It seems to have been a very violent and merciless crime. Jail unfortunately does not rehabilitate people in USA because they do not invest in these kind of programs. Lately the privitization of jails has made situations in jail much worse.  I would think that he needs a proper mental evaluation before anything is decided because one does not want a repetition of the previous murders.
Unfortunately a mental evaluation does not involve the determining if people have a concept of right and wrong these days--these values are too old fashioned for modern phsycologists.

Seems like we are turning into a state like Philippines! 

When I read about the ancient history of Mesopotamia (Sumer) one realizes the bible is absolutely accurate when it calls Nimrod a "hunter".  Nimrod hunted lions - he was a leader if groups of men to go and hunt lion with spear and arrow.  It was a dangerous job and men could be killed or injured. Even with a gun today it is dangerous (this is why they call lions being shot in enclosed reserves in Africa "canned lions") because they are so dangerous. They are an easy target with a gun in a small area.  A lion lives in a pride.  Lions  together are an unpredictable foe bEcause they stallk and go for one weak target. In Nimrod's time they could have attacked sheep, cattle or even people and this would happen often.  Nimrod was elevated to a very high status like a ruler because of this and later became ruler over several cities which was built for safety from man and animal after he started killing people to enlarge his empire. War and cities s synonymous. . His boastfulness led to the monuments built to honor him and the false gods and spiritism he instituted against Jehovah.  Later, tHe kings of Chaldea and assYria  followed this tradition and participated in lion hunts to show ther manliness and power (legacy from Nimrod). There are Assyrian reliefs that show the king in ceremony with man driving his chariot and the king shooting off arrows into a lioness.  It s one of the most saddest but also most accurate and beautiful art works of this period because the lioness is perfectly depicted in her anguish.  I also read that they later bred lions and kept them in royal gardens for ths ceremonial hunting purpose.  Later rulers used lions in a pit to get rid of foes. (Darius the Mede).
Mankind has really ruined the earth.  Will lions be like the dinosaurs? They find the bones and wonder what they looked like or sounded like?  Thank goodness we know that it is not going to be that much longer for good people and animals alike to suffer under unrighteus human rule which is unjust and without Jehovah's protection!
 
 
 
 

Letter from Joseph F. Rutherford to the Anointed - February 20, 1935. History Good to know! 

Report post     My observations of reality the way reality REALLY IS may be callous
What is reality?   Each person experiences reality in a different way except when we collectively accept the reality of Jehovah and the reality of his restoration project of the earth (as written in the bible) and the values of good and bad it instills in us. We hence can say : if we follow the truth of the bible we are focusing on the true reality.  All other stuff is really going to become garbage in future although these ugly, painful things are now a part of our collective reality.
My definition of true faith is based on Hebrew 11:1 : it is the search for reality (evidence) and how this reality will affect your view on all life on earth, human and animal.
Is this not also the definition of science?  The search for reality and how this will affect your view of all other life?   Take for example the theory of evolution - to some this is reality..... even though the "evidence" is not there!  And how did this theory affect their view of other life?  Well Nazi Germany is a good example.  The idea of survival of the fittest gave way to "engineering of the german nation" and discarding disabled or other nations (not seen as worthy) to be exterminated....
While we may accept the reality of the Kingdom and its future hope we may be at odds with the teachings of the Bible.  Our reality can be affected by being too egotistical, too brazen, too disruptive, too critical, too unloving.  How do we use our power?  All of us have power over each other and we can cooperate or be a dissonant sound.
If a child does not listen to his parents he is actually using the power he has over them to make their lives a misery.  Similarly, it is easy to put the blame elsewhere and criticize the brothers when the finger is pointing back at us.  How humble are you to try to always cooperate and work together - be a force for good.   
Use your powers for building others up - not being the disruptive sound in the orchestra.  One can still exercise your talents and be an individual without stepping onto the toes of everyone else.  Be emotionally sensitive.  Work hard - not just on the  IQ but more so - on the Emotional IQ. 
There are many brothers and sisters with exceptional talents but they keep these in check (in their place) to put Jehovah first.
 

Agreed, Jehovah is shaking the nations by preaching work (not literally shaken). ...And this preaching work is upsetting the Russian government and the Mighty Orthodox church.....because we are effective!
However, I think Jehovah is allowing satan to literally shake the nations due to the activities of man (wars, poverty etc.) which is causing stress in societies in many parts of the world. We are observing an influx of people to other areas and these have not had opportunity to get a good witness because they live in areas where the work has been banned or restricted.
 

I DID NOT EXPECT IT TO GO OUR WAY!  Here are my reasons:
I have been watching Russia for more than 12 years and saw its sincere "human rights lawyers and reporters" mysteriously killed on the streets with no-one being brought to justice.  In the past I have called it a thugocracy! They killed dissidents in other countries too - think of the polonium-210  killing in London which grabbed some headlines! (please watch the video link I put in my previous comment about Russia.)
Putin has made the Russian Orthodox religion his bedfellow in creating a new Russian-religious Nationalism.  Russian pride is at an all-time high and this is their food at present which unites them against all else /anything different. Many people are joining the orthodox church because Putin is the equivalent to a pop-star god and he seen as a strong leader.  He is dangerous, shrewd and a killer!  No-one stands in his way - totalitarian.... and his bedfellow church is the same! 
By shrewd selling of weapons and assistance his influence is increasing in the world  (especially the middle east). The Russians love him for it.
Satan is blinding the eyes of the world leaders.  Putin is also keeping the lid on the 27 million Muslims in his country by brutal oppression. Searches and Indiscriminate jailing of these people have made them live in fear of the government.... 
Like his cold war predecessors - Putin and the Russian government is putting on a façade - allowing this high supreme court case, just to make this ban on JWs legal in the eyes of the people - justice has been through the process..... the quality of the process does not matter.  There was never an intention to listen to arguments in a fair /just way..... It was a set decision beforehand and the entire country is in a trance propagated by the Russian propaganda machine. All "feel" the same in their nationalism.   (Remember the Nazi machine of pride and nationalism?  A modern version of it...no right and wrong standards with injustices perpetrated and victims with no rights.)
It is therefore not a surprise that Russia is the first country to stand in the "holy place" - I expect more and more to join this stance against Jehovah's defenseless people.   We do believe that it is the time of the end, don't we?  Then expect more to come. 
We will suffer - but Jehovah will cut it off at the right time.  We will be dragged before governors and give our witness.  And our enemies will be deriding us - where is your god now?  Why does he not save you?  
The propaganda of Satan (expressions of demons) is everywhere - going out to divide the earth as never before ! to get them ready for Armageddon. Rev 16:14-16.  Religious hate (religions hating each other and weapons training in religious nationalism is something new), hard-core racial hatred, and political party hatred (militant far-left and militant far-right) are getting people worked up for violence and fierceness to perpetrate unthinkable things against their fellow man in future. (brother killing brother).
In the world there is not a place where there is not one or other form of hatred being propagated.  The values of right and wrong have disappeared.  Most Christians nations (especially Europe) are Christians at face value only because philosophies of humanist nature have taken its place....All religions are equal they say.... there is no right and wrong....  
In this moral confusion the pressure pot is building - and the longer it builds- the bigger the explosion.  Whether we will see another world war - I do not know.  Whether we will see an ISIS-like organization take over in Europe and Canada - I do not know.   All I can see is signs of a building hatred amongst people which is directly from Satan.
Satan wants to control the world completely and stamp out Jehovah's worship.  He is using imperialistic false religion and political systems to do this.  In previous generations there were decent people who held back this overwhelming control of satan but now there are very little wise people left with a sincere love for god.  In many countries there is an inordinate surge in Spiritism  - practiced on a daily basis with druids and witch doctors....  I saw this while living in Africa and England and have been watching the trends.
Jehovah is now allowing the nations to be shaken (refugees moving everywhere) so that we can bring them the message and they receive an opportunity to choose... so keep busy while we have freedom to do so.
I see signs of Jehovah's Witness enemies using Facebook and false news to perpetuate and spread vile lies about us and build a hatred against us.... Who is behind this?  Satan of course.  
So my brothers....and sisters. Keep yourself in Jehovah's love..... do not stray and keep the eyes simple and focussed.  Do not collect material things or influence for yourself ..... it is not the time to contemplate these things... because they can be taken away from you in one minute....
Jesus did not say without reason it will be the worst tribulation ever! 
 
 

And the Sanctification of his NAME!

My husband says the cranberry dolphin thing is fake?  Please check if it is fact..... then let me know.... if it is true I will paste on FB

The same scientists who said it is safe to dump large amounts of industrial fluoride in our water because it will be good for our teeth!  They did not think of the damage it will bring to other organs of the body...
I do not care if it is supposedly safe - (also a lie by the capitalists who need the markets to stay stable)- the bottom line is -  it should NOT be  in the ocean or our food!!  The fishes and we were not made to live in / or consume this. 
BUT as a bible student I realize that there is nothing we can do about (leave it to the activists) because human greed; contamination of water resources due to human activity; will go on until the earth is one big garbage dump and we have a hard time with illnesses due to these phenomena.
Did the bible not say that plagues will be returning in time of end (all kinds I guess- bacterial and induced by contaminated water and food)  and if Jehovah did not step in very little flesh will be saved?

Someone should tell him that swallowing little blue pills will work better.

People just do not have respect for blood! Only Jehovah's organization teaches this.... I see no connection between sexual strength, manhood or beauty,  and bathing in blood..... How many of these old wives tales lifted from witchcraft are still going to be believed and how many animals will still have to suffer for silly superstitious beliefs.  

Putin does not brag openly like Trump does.  He likes to be seen with his shirt off!  He likes to be seen as a sporting man, hunting deer or riding a horse!  He is the quiet, man of ACTION as portrayed by the Russian propaganda machine!

@Arauna Yes are we not thankful? Yet, we see the earth ? ready to be destroyed and the wickedness beyond imagination! As Michael ousted them from Heaven it says "woe for the earth"! Soon Gods King Our Lord Christ Jesus will bring to nothing all government power and authority. Revelation 12 tells us about that war in Heaven. At least it also tells us he has a "short period of time." Thank you for your encouragement.

@James Thomas Rook Jr. Excellent documentary on him! He pioneered many thoughts being a mathematician but of course came short! He lived what he wrote and fought his life for it! What an example of faith! Thank you for your support!

Many muslim woman who tried to divorce their husbands have been killed in honor killings -  they commit suicide under direction of husband or family members. So if she does show her face this may even happen sooner.....  This is a dilemma... these judges should also study Sharia to know what they are doing..... because this woman could lose her life.   She is already walking on thin ice....  If they know sharia they will also not try to implement it like some schools in Australia are doing.....  Lobbying for Sharia in law schools.

I read that one of his books was published only 100 years after his death....... he would not dare publish it in his lifetime.  He must have been an avid bible student to come to the conclusions he did.

Beautiful Owl ? Swims to Safety!
