"... He said Jehovah spoke to him, telling him to act."

Shelby, I'm curious to know if you or your husband know, knew of this man, as the news reports he is from Oakland and grew up a jw there.

Flanagan, who was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness in Oakland, is the son of a former NFL player who was drafted by Vince Lombardi, the legendary and former head coach of the Green Bay Packers, TMZ Sports exclusively reported.


Interesting. So his father was a nfl jw? google time.

Quote:
A man claiming to be Bryce Williams called ABC News over the last few weeks, saying he wanted to pitch a story and wanted to fax information. He never told ABC News what the story was.

This morning, a fax was in the machine (time stamped 8:26 a.m.) almost two hours after the shooting. A little after 10 a.m., he called again, and introduced himself as Bryce, but also said his legal name was Vester Lee Flanagan, and that he shot two people this morning. While on the phone, he said authorities are “after me,” and “all over the place.” He hung up. ABC News contacted the authorities immediately and provided them with the fax.

In the 23-page document faxed to ABC News, the writer says “MY NAME IS BRYCE WILLIAMS” and his legal name is Vester Lee Flanagan II. He writes what triggered today’s carnage was his reaction to the racism of the Charleston church shooting


I cannot help my SELF from the thoughts of this scenerio being played out in a religious dwelling, with many 'disgruntled' sheep, that realize now, their fleece was most certainly FLOCKED. May the world be able to endure such wrath. Me? I am just waiting to exhale.

Never heard of him, dear Skals, nor has hubby (peace to you!). Neither of us did any JW-ing in Oakland.

Tragic.

Peace to you!

A slave of Christ,

Shel
