Albania news. Mother and daughter commit suicide and other daughter seriously ill in hospital. 

Neighbours say that they were Jehovah's Witnesses. Organisation deny they were 'members'.  Strange. Why would neighbours say so ? Would they just make it up for fun ?

Prosecutors to Investigate Religious Sects Following Starvation Suicide Pact

 

Following the macabre discovery of a woman and her two adult daughters who are believed to have self-sacrificed for religious reasons, the Tirana Prosecutor’s Office has launched an investigation into religious sects.

One daughter is believed to have been mummified for around 15 months, the mother had died recently, and the other daughter was taken to the hospital in a coma.

Authorities believe that they starved themselves.

The media reported that the three were Jehovah’s Witnesses, a sect of Christianity that believes in resurrection after death.

Journalist Klodiana Lala reported the latest update for News24.

Self-sacrifice by starvation  for religious reasons.....  Does that sound like JWs?   It sounds like the stories of Jews drinking blood of babies. 

Maybe witnesses visited them and they listened..... and that gave neighbors the idea they were Jws.  People make up their own narrative about things especially in backwaters.

Judas did the same - so it is not so strange. 

[Matthew9969]

Judas killed his wife....?

There are mentally unstable religious fanatics in all religions, jw's aren't immune to that.

you made that connection. Judas killed someone that was close to him - Jesus- and then committed suicide.

Do you think Judas killed Jesus ?  I thought the Romans did the killing. The Jewish religious leaders wanted it done of course. Judas led the officers to Jesus, but Judas didn't kill Jesus. Do we truly know Judas' motives ? Have you judged Judas a murderer ?

He identified Jesus so they could apprehend him. He became complicit.

The bible itself says it was as though he was never born - he is going into oblivion (Gehenna).  It also says that Satan went into him when he left to betray Jesus. These are just reminders to you.... you are supposed to know this history.

Jesus came to earth to give his life deliberately, so I've never really given much thought to Judas. It seems Judas was just used to do a job of identifying Jesus. It was a process that had to follow through. I wouldn't have put it so bluntly as to say Judas killed Jesus however.
