Breaking News

A bizarre explosion at a church east of Kansas City killed one man on Saturday afternoon.

ATF agents said the explosion at the Jehovah's Witness' Kingdom Hall on Foggy Bottom Drive was intentionally set, and that the person who died appears to have committed suicide.

Witnesses described large amounts of smoke pouring out of the building, which they said was just recently completed.

The source of the explosion remains a mystery, but investigators found evidence of accelerants in the debris.

The victim was the only person inside the building.

I live in the Independence/Kansas City area and the JWs are lighting up each other's phones.

Same link with photo of hall.

Says smoke pouring out, KH's don't have many windows.

But you know those JW's!! It says it was a new building, I bet they bull-doze that sucker off the foundation, and have another quick build, within a week. Praise Jehovah!!! Can't miss any meetings!

The poor soul that died. We could each give 10 reasons why someone would do this. I put my money on unbelieving mate, wife leaves because the elders told her to, and take the kids. A little theocratic warfare!!

Geez! I live in Wichita. Did it say if the perp was a JW?

Lady Zombie

My folks called me a few hours ago with this.

The rumor going around here is that the guy was a JW at the KH by himself and committed suicide by blowing it up.

My father helped on the quick build of that KH.

Right now it sounds like a highly motivated disgruntled witness.

It appears they had a soft spot in their heart, in that they blew it up when it was empty.

To bad that person didn't hang out here and vent with a keyboard.

Who knows? maybe he did.

I think most ex-JW's are much more disgruntled with the organization than with the "flock" (at least if you don't count the authority figures).
