Guest guest Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 IMHO, people who give interviews like this should go to prison! . . . No telling how many lives will be damaged, or lost because of lies like this! Instead they send Martha to prison when the only loss was money. We should know by now what's more important - to some people! I have faith that God will exact his own punishment! The worst punishment I can think of is that it may be their own family members will suffer from the poison bags they promote!
