Religion in April



April is not a good month to belong to an alleged cult or polygamy group. Maybe this month has some special significance to the federal government or this all might be a consequence .Regardless I think it is worth closer study. The Waco murders were committed April 19 1993, when the bureau of alcohol tobacco and firearms burned alive seventy-six men, women and children to serve a warrant for illegal guns and alleged child abuse. Twenty-one children died that day. In the crowd of spectators was Timothy McVeigh. Whom one year later bombed the Murrah building in Oklahoma City in revenge for Waco killing 168 men, women and children. This building also contained a daycare center. Now we move back to Texas for another alleged cult that is under siege for child abuse and polygamy. This time there is almost complete media blackout of the event. What is happening in San Angelo that we are not supposed to see? I really hope that the authorities handling this remember what has happened in the past for the children's sake.
