Shooting rampage botched in Germany when gun jams

By the Associated Press | Friday, July 31, 2009 9:39 PM PDT ∞

BERLIN ---- An 82-year-old man who planned a shooting rampage at a meeting of Jehovah's Witnesses was deterred because his submachine gun jammed, police said Friday. He was overpowered and arrested.

The man entered the group's meeting hall in the western city of Bielefeld on Thursday evening, wielding the weapon, police said in a statement.

The hall was evacuated and the man quickly left the building, waving the gun as he walked toward his car. He was then overpowered by two Jehovah's Witnesses and arrested.

Police said the man also had a samurai sword and a knife.

Notes found during a search of the man's apartment suggested that he had intended to shoot into the crowd, according to police. Investigators believe that a technical defect prevented him from doing so.

He apparently blamed the Jehovah's Witnesses for the fact he had lost contact with his daughter years ago, police added.

 There are always so many bad memories related here I thought it might be nice to change it up a bit. What are some of your funniest

memories of the meetings, or even field service? Things that happened things said?

I remember when I was about 12 or so, there was an very elderly lady, maybe 85 years old or so, Sister Crowe. She had gotten up to

go to the bathroom during the meeting and I remember seeing her walk back down the aisle to return to her seat. She had her

granny panties down around her ankles and didn't even notice. You could here kids snickering and giggling all the way up

the aisle until a sister got up and helped her back to the bathroom. It was hilarious!

Your JW Baptism

by LouBelle in

i was 16 years old when i got baptised - 1992 - it was at one of the two day assemblies.

only a few of us got baptised.

i pulled out the pictures - there i stood proudly with a friend of mine in our cosies (shirts over) towels wrapped around us.

YoungAmerican

I always remember speakers saying during the baptism talk that this date (fill in the blank)

would be a date you always remember because it is THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF YOU LIFE! Well, I never could

remember the exact date, even when I was still in. I just remember it was in June of 1975 at the big assembly

at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Wow, I was only 14! I hadn't even thought of that in a long time. Never

really realized actually how friggin' young I was. I felt so pressured to do it. My dad was an elder too.

I fortunately had a great family life considering some of the stories I've read here. But very strict.

My parents meant well and loved me and my sister dearly and treated us with lots of love and respect.

They were just so duped by the promise of paradise and living forever....... ahhhh how very sad.

Global Campaign with World Wide implecations???

by YoungAmerican in

my mom asked me today if i had received my may km yet.

i wish i could have been honest and said, "of course not mom, i don't go to the kingdom hall anymore and haven't set foot in one in over 10 years", but instead i said "not yet mom, probably tomorrow night".

anyway, she said something about the part where they usually make the announcement about the upcoming summer conventions instead saying something about a "global campaign with world wide implecations".

Thanks, I haven't navigated through this site enough I guess to find the answers to my own questions. I have just been soooo very screwed over by my upbringing that I can't seem to shake loose from that little nagging voice in the back of my head that scares me with what if's all the time. I am really beginning to think I need counseling.
