A juvenile threatened to blow up the congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses in Beaver Dam, police say

Two elders of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witness in Beaver Dam received separate text messages threatening that their congregation and other meetings would be blown up Sunday.

The Dodge County Sheriff's Office found a suspect who confessed to sending the threats. Police said the suspect is a minor and will not release a name.

The two elders received the threats while at home around 9 a.m. Sunday.

Police searched the building with a trained dog and no explosives were found.

I am not a fan of Jehovah's Witnesses, but I still wouldn't advocate blowing up one of their congregations. Seriously, what is wrong with people?
