Branch Davidian leader Koresh’s mother stabbed to death by his aunt
The Waco Tribune-Herald ^ | 1/24/09 | Associated Press

The mother of infamous Branch Davidian leader David Koresh was stabbed to death and her sister was in custody today charged with her slaying, authorities said.

Bonnie Clark Halderman, 60, was found Friday afternoon at the home of her sister, Beverly Clark, 54, in a rural area near Chandler in East Texas, Henderson County Sheriff Ray Nutt said.

“It’s still under investigation and we really don’t know what the motive was or what caused this to happen,” Nutt said.

The sheriff said someone made a 9-1-1 call summoning deputies to the home Friday.

Clark was being held without bond on a murder charge in the county jail in Athens pending a court appearance. Jail officials said she did not yet have an attorney.

I thought Koresh was supposed to be Jesus?

If somebody stabbed his mom, it likely wasn't a Catholic.

They love Jesus's mom.

No, I think he was a prophet restoring the Christian church to its proper place.

Koresh?

With the shagging little kids and the explosives?

You believe in prophets who smoke pot and shag kids?

God help us all.

There was one prophecy he failed to receive. The one that said: "My @ss is cooked!

Koresh’s brand of ‘Christianity’ had serious theological problems and were destructive spiritually, IMO, but were the stories of child abuse or illegal weapons ever validated? I don’t think so.

Look, some of us are really, really, really dense and don't quite understand why a Catholic would want to stab Howell's mother anyway.

So you'll have to explain this in terms of "pro" and "anti" Catholic innuendos.

You did know Howell's maternal grandmother (or great grandmother) was a member of the Church of the First Born, and I think I know more about that group than you do anyway.

Still demonizing folks you never met. Where’s the front door?

Howell took care of his own demonization ~ when he brought black powder and powdered aluminum into the church home he definitely made a tatement.

There're some other things he did to demonstrate his demonic problems but I think those two will suffice.

Cite reference, please.

(Plus I'd like to know how anyone could physically kill people, plus have sex 1000 times a day. Talk about busy....)

I'm so glad to see that the media indoctrination has has been so successful with you. If you'll go back and look at the facts you will find that none of the charges of child abuse, explosives and fully automatic weapons were not proven. According to the government it all burnt in the fire along with the metal front door. But ounce again it's not the facts but the seriousness of the charges that matter.

By the way, for three days before the final assault the government cleared a one hundred yard fire break around the so-called compound. I wonder why? Those of us who live in the country here in North Texas know all about wild-fires, strong winds and fire breaks.
