Paying for prayers? Death and tragedy around faith based charity.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x1448589

Posted in LBn, but I want it to get as much attention as possible. This is a tragedy that happened in my town and has been shunted aside due to runaway brides and other such BS.

a clip:

Three young children starved to death. Their mother is charged with their deaths. But now a new twist.

The WAFF 48 News Investigators uncovered information about what Natashay Ward was doing in the weeks leading up to the deaths of her children.

The WAFF 48 News Investigators received a tip that Natashay Ward had contact with several valley churches and at least two national religious broadcasts prior to her children's deaths. And the information reveals she may have even sent them money. Money that could have been used to buy her children food.

Natashay Ward. A religious woman? That's how some closest to her describe the mother accused of starving her three children to death.

In the month prior to police finding her three children dead in their Patton Road Apartment, Ward received pamphlets from Lincoln Church of Christ in the mail.

Minister Ron Williams, "I'm very sure that's likely how she ended up getting the information."

Williams says Ward then read and completed the Bible study questionaires found on the last page from each of the eight lessons. Then she returned them as stated to the church where they were "graded."

Please forward this to any outlet you can. Don't let this die on a back page of an Alabama newspaper.

Thanks and please keep it kicked. This is what's going to be happening more and more if we don't make our voices heard.
