Wonder if or when the Church leaders are ever going to take some responsibility for leading naive people astray.

Terrible incident.

It's hard to say but I doubt it. This Carl Worthington is the son of one of the leaders and they've been steadfast in their beliefs but they're hypocritical because they go to dentists and eye doctors.

I believe this judge did the right thing. He could have sentenced him to one year and fined him $6,250. He gave him a taste of jail time but gave him the 5 years probation as well as stipulating their 5 year old daughter and the unborn one have to have medical checkups. At least those two children will have a better chance of survival.

If the faith-healing had worked, would there have been charges? If not, why not?

If the child had been taken to a medical doctor and died anyway, would there have been charges? If not, why not?
