(pasted from MSNBC/Associated Press)

BALTIMORE - After denying Javon Thompson food and water for two days because he wouldn't say "Amen" after meals, the 1-year-old's caretakers waited for a divine sign that their message had been heard: a resurrection.

For more than a week, police say in charging documents describing the scene, the child's lifeless body lay in the back room of an apartment. Queen Antoinette, the 40-year-old leader of a group that called itself 1 Mind Ministries, brought in her followers and told them to pray. God, she said, would raise Javon from the dead.

Yeah, I can see that is at least a small blessing. I am not sure what will happen to his parents but it will not be enough I am afraid.

This is why I hate religion sometimes. Especially those people who are overly religious that they would do anything for the sake of it. I don't think God would let a person die of starvation for not saying a single word.


myLot reputation of 95/100. moonlitmagikchild (4124)   ranked 258 out of 28,218 in people  4 months ago

yeah i know.. especially that young.. or any age

That is wrong in SO many ways....

seems like there are either more of these cases(abusing/killing children) lately or they are just being told out in the open lately (last couple of years)

sad he is still so young! i don't think a one-year-old child is 'eligible' for committing sins or evils. not saying amen is not a sin or an evil anyway.
god create and provide everything we need: food, drink, air, water, our body and its wonderful parts, medical science, anything. all of those are from god. all of those are miracles. why do we still expect such a miracle?


myLot reputation of 95/100. moonlitmagikchild (4124)   ranked 258 out of 28,218 in people  4 months ago

so many people are starving to death as is in the world and here he had food so close but couldnt eat any sad

sutan,

i love your response and its so true, so many extraordinary things pass us up day after day, heck, if we could experience the wonder of watching the earth spin could we still think the same, I doubt it and it would blow our minds apart with all its stiff assumptions and comformities. It sounds like this cult, or what you choose to call it, is not very knowledgeable and Amen in Hebrew meaning just means "So be it" or "let it be" and I guess these people thought their religion worked liked magic where they use the magic words and miracles appear but I agree with sutan that God has denied us nothing and I believe Jesus' main message that their is no need to ask for anything and its all a matter of us choosing to see our blessing right in front of us--this is my quest to open my eyes to this.
This incident just looks like nothing but a power trip on the adults part and no adult in their right mind would put up with something so silly and its tragic that such a tiny baby had to be a victim to this desperate attempt to be in charge--sometimes we let the ego lead in the name of God, its a shame.

That makes me so angry, especially when I read Children have been killed in similar groups for failing to follow cult teachings, Ross said, and that appears to have been the case with Javon, who was viewed as a "demon," according to police statements supporting the murder charges.

I don't know about 'brainwashed' I think those people are brain dead. Do they have no commonsense in their heads at all?!

I can accept people having different religious beliefs but NOT when it results in cruelty to children and murder. I hope the parents and their group of friends will feel real shame and regret for what they have done. The failure of their prayers to resurrect the child should be proof enough that this cult is a total sham.


myLot reputation of 95/100. moonlitmagikchild (4124)   ranked 258 out of 28,218 in people  4 months ago

could you imagine if that was like your grandson or nephew? this christmas realizing he isnt around and for such an insane reason??


myLot reputation of 98/100. paid2write (3830)   ranked 1,626 out of 28,218 in people  4 months ago

I would hate to think any family member of mine would ever do such a thing. If they did I should be even more upset and angry about it. I can't really begin to imagine how I would really feel.


myLot reputation of 95/100. moonlitmagikchild (4124)   ranked 258 out of 28,218 in people  4 months ago

sickly thing is they gotta be kin to some one.. so scary.. i wonder where the father was?? omg it would be horrible if he was in on it!!

It's awful to hear about these situations when they come to light, but I think it's one situation where you can't blame religion. It doesn't say anywhere in the Bible that infants should be denied food and water for not saying Amen, these people were nuts and were making it up as they went along. I find it hard to feel sorry for the mother too as anyone knows how quickly a baby dehydrates and if she just stood by and watched as they denied her son food and water she is just as guilty as the rest of them.


myLot reputation of 95/100. moonlitmagikchild (4124)   ranked 258 out of 28,218 in people  4 months ago

yeah i dont think that you can blame that on brainwashing.. the start of it might have been but she had two days to snap out of it and realize that it was crazy.. i would hope no ones mind is so simple that it could be manipulated that easily with such a dangerous idea

Ohhh Moonlit..this is so sad to hear..I have 2 grandson that are 13 months and 11 months and they say only mama and dada..now how would they be able to get a child to say amen unless they forced him over and over..this stuff just sickens me when i hear about the crazies in the world abusing the babes....


myLot reputation of 95/100. moonlitmagikchild (4124)   ranked 258 out of 28,218 in people  4 months ago

i am not good in knowing kids ages and capabilities but i figured a big vocabulary would be out of the question and a duhhhh factor in why he might not be saying it.. not to mention he may have associated the word with getting beat because he would say it and maybe be punished for something else or something sad
