Church of Christ minister. Nough said.

Elaborate please. I've been a member of the church of Christ since my mid 20's (20+ years), and I've seen absolutely nothing to substantiate your statement. It's about as outrageous as saying that all West Virginians are inbred idiots.

You are so right. My son married a member of the Church of Christ in 1988. The members, including my daughter in law, are outstanding people. They have wonderful families. They would be an asset to any community. I read a news article that referred to the Church of Christ as a cult. If you do some research you will find a lot of churches are thought to be cults. And, I might add, the Church of Christ is NOT a cult.

I don't know the reason she shot her husband twice in the back, but it's clear the message was:

"Never again!"
