A total of 61 people were in attendance, with 36 present in person and 25 joining online.According to reports, a 35-year-old man, identified as a former member of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, shot 10 times into a vehicle with a lady inside who escaped, unharmed outside the Kingdom Hall. He then entered the building, firing 135 rounds with a backpack full of ammunition.This tragic incident resulted in the deaths of six adults, with eight others sustaining injuries, including the loss of an unborn child. The police responded to the incident swiftly, arriving eight minutes after the shooting began. The gunman fled upstairs and was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.During a search of the man’s apartment, authorities found 15 loaded magazines and four boxes of ammunition, totalling 200 cartridges. Police reported that an anonymous letter received earlier revealed that the man had anger towards the Witnesses and his former employer, although he had no prior criminal record and was not known as an extremist.TIMESTAMPS / CHAPTERSIntroduction 00:00:00Breaking Free from the Jehovah’s Witness Faith 00:13:25My Mother’s Involvement with Jehovah’s Witnesses 00:17:10Positive Memories as a Jehovah’s Witness 00:20:50Disfellowshipping and Speaking Out Against Jehovah’s Witnesses 00:25:45Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Impact on Mental Health and Suicide 00:35:15Robert de Hek: A Short Life 00:51:00Life after Suicide and Rickie Charlesworth 00:57:06Linda Warfield’s Struggles with Mental Health, Addiction, and Suicide Attempts 01:11:58Linda Warfield’s Tragic Story of Battling Depression and Addiction 01:17:20Religious Pressure and Two Lost Lives by Suicide 01:24:45Coping with Loss and Grief in Disownment from Jehovah’s Witnesses 01:32:00Lack of Mental Health Understanding and Negligence by Jehovah’s Witnesses 01:38:22Leaving a Religious Cult and Finding Closure and Support 01:47:30Conclusion 01:53:30Breaking Free from the Jehovah’s Witness Faith: Coping with Disfellowshipping and Its ConsequencesREAD MORE https://www.dehek.com/general/personal-development/hamburg-killings-understanding-the-root-causes-harmful-consequences-of-jw-orgs-shunning-practices/Support the show
