The Living Church of God

I'm sure that by now everyone has heard about Terry Ratzmann going into a hotel room in Brookfield, Wis. where a church service was being held by the Living Church of God, he pulled a pistol, shot and killed seven people and then took his own life.

Two of the articles I have read about this tragedy have pretty much described Mr. Ratzmann as a regular joe, a good guy and a caring neighbor. He built his own greenhouse where he grew flowers and vegetables which he gave away to friends and neighbors. The articles say that there was a possibility that his job could be in danger, but they didn't say what he did for a living.

The two articles also say that he had attended Living Church of God services at the hotel for quite some time. Both say that a couple of weeks ago he became upset during a service and walked out before it was over. I started wondering about that so I went to the Living Church of God web page at, http://www.livingcog.org/default.htm . A statement at their homepage says that they are concerned about the tragedy and that they are working with authorities to find out what happened. They have links you can open to find out more about the church, I clicked on Weekly Sermon. This brought up another link I thought might be interesting since he was upset by a service a couple of weeks ago. Sermon Library, when I clicked on this I got a Web Site Not Responding message. It said the site maybe experiencing technical difficulties due to a busy or broken server. I wonder if the church was advised to do this by their attorneys and the authorities, or is the site taking a lot of hits due to the news of the shooting?

One thing I know, this will give the anti-gun groups more ammunition to use in their efforts to disarm all American citizens.
