"Kids, mom live with corpse for weeks; religious leader said she would come to life"
The Associated Press
Published: May 10, 2008

MADISON, Wisconsin: Two children and their mother lived for about two months with the decaying body of a 90-year-old woman on the toilet of their home's only bathroom, on the advice of a religious "superior" who claimed the corpse would come back to life, authorities said Friday.

....

The boy at the house told a detective he had considered running away because he was uncomfortable with the situation. He said Bushey told him that demons were trying to make it look as if Middlesworth wouldn't come back to life, and that if she were to be discovered he and the girl would have to go to public school and get jobs because Middlesworth paid the bills.

What is it with the religious freaks in Wisconsin, lately?

I'm sure I should know this, but which other Wisconsin religious freaks do you speak of? [cringes at the thought.]

And yet, WI is the birthplace of the Freedom From Religion Foundation [http://www.ffrf.org/]... or maybe it was just a reaction to the freaks?

The ones who let their daughter die of diabetes because only god can cure disease.

Ah, yes. I filed that under "Christian Scientists" (because that's what I figured they were) instead of "Wisconsinites". Damn my positronic brain.

While getting ready for work this morning I half-listened to the morning news and locally it seems that there's a judge who is going to spank this woman for her stupidity (and hopefully more). The kids are in foster care right now.
