FIRST THEY TOOK GOD OUT OF THE CLASSROOM…

 

…AND NOW A CHRISTIAN MOTHER in Maryland has been hauled into court for following the spirit of biblical instructions. The Bible is very clear on this: If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. -- Deuteronomy 21:18-21

 

 

Some say “! Mind Ministries should be called a cult. I say:

 

Your religion, my cult

Your cult, my religion

Religion is a cult grown old.

 

--John R. Guthrie

Ria Ramkissoon and her son, the late Javon Thompson. Mom and other “1 Mind” cult members stopped feeding the boy when he refused to say "Amen" after a meal. After Javon died, Ramkissoon sat next to his decomposing body and prayed for his resurrection.

 

Prosecutors agreed to some unusual terms to win a guilty plea the mother. Charged with starving her 1-year-old son to death: If the child is resurrected, her plea will be withdrawn.

 

Ria Ramkissoon, 22, was a member of the “1 Mind Ministries.”
