Matthew Murray was kicked out of a missionary training program five years ago for strange behavior...Murray performed a pair of dark rock songs at a concert at the mission that made fellow workers "pretty scared,"...which included a song by rock band Linkin Park...Werner, of Balneario Camborius, Brazil, said he had a bunk near Murray's and that Murray would roll around in bed and make noises. "He would say, 'Don't worry, I'm just talking to the voices,' " Werner said. "He'd say, 'Don't worry, Richard. You're a nice guy. The voices like you.' "

You were right..."just" "nuts" ping!

Bizzarre - sounds like this guy was into even weirder stuff than we imagined.

“The voices like you.”

Ooo man that gives me shivers.

"Bizzarre - sounds like this guy was into even weirder stuff than we imagined."

Yep--boy bands like Linkin Park, for one. ...downright satanic. We need to bring back stuff like Nirvana. ;-)

Typical liberal.

Well, at least we know that Mitchand Murray didn’t like Coldplay...

To some of us who believe what the Bible says about demons, those who don’t believe it seem naive. It’s obvious to me that shootings like these are being coordinated by lower powers.

I don't think being aware of the disease of paranoid schizophrenia (which sounds like a distinct possibility in this case), caused by a brain chemical imbalance, is "naive."

This nut’s father was a DR. Why did he not get the boy help???

You're calling us naive?!!

For the record, I attended a YWAM missionary training school in 1995. The autonomy of the individual bases results in a fairly wide range of theological emphases, but it’s basically a solid organization.

paranoid schizophrenia

How is that diagnosed?

I’ve noticed that the home school crowd has been fairly quiet on these threads.

Careful, your presupposition is showing.

[singfreedom]

This guy was obviously a schizoid nutter. His physician father should have specialized in schizophrenia, instead of a breathing disorder.

I’m getting really tired of mental defectives attacking innocent, good, people as they go about their daily lives.

[familyop]

Last I knew (long, long ago, and only from gen. psych.), those were two separate and different diagnoses. ...voices. That could be schizophrenia, but then there aren’t five or so of me for comprising a whole board...yet! ;-)

Homeschooling is often good. Various people do it for various reasons.
