A 9-month-old boy who was found dead in a neighborhood on Detroit's eastside Friday morning, may have been killed as a form of religious sacrifice.

According to police, Raphael Thomas and his live-in girlfriend, Betty Jenkins, were involved in a Bible study in their Detroit home when Thomas and his girlfriend began to argue.

The two exchanged words and Thomas grabbed hold of a can of red spray paint and wrote the word "revelations" on the walls throughout the home. He tossed his Bible outside along with other items that may be linked to a Jehovah Witness, according to police.

Thomas then grabbed his son and left the home, Local 4 reported.

Jenkins phoned police, but help didn't come in time. Thomas was found walking along Gratiot Avenue in Detroit stabbing himself. He inflicted more than 30 knife wounds on his body, according to police.

The baby was not with Thomas, but was found dead a short time after in the back yard of a home. Police said the baby had been mutilated from the inside out.

Thomas told police he freed his baby from the evils of the earth, leading investigators to believe the slaying of the baby was a form of religious sacrifice.

The man was taken to Detroit Receiving Hospital and treated with nearly 200 stitches. He remains in the psychiatric ward of the hospital.

Police said they didn't receive the 911 call until about 2:20 a.m., but a neighbor of the family said he phoned police at 10:30 p.m.

The child's mother is not in custody and not involved in the death of the baby.

The father is facing charges of murder.

Police continue to investigate, and the issue of the 911 call remains uncertain

Sorry, but I fail to see HOW this could be associated with TWI?

The link you provide leads to a board much like this one, but about JW-associated subjects.

Also, the story you provide certainly seems to be more about very sick man, who is locked up, thankfully, and a police department who failed to respond to a 9-1-1 call. I don't see how this could be a reflection on JW's per se. It could be anyone, anywhere, who snapped... obviously, I wish it would never happen to anyone, anywhere, as I'm sure you do.

Beloved ChasUFarley

God loves you my dear friend

What got me think this could happen to a person in The Way "He tossed his Bible outside along with other items that may be linked to a Jehovah Witness, according to police."

Looks to me he look for the Jehovah Witness books for help when he needed to be locked up

The Way people may look for Way books to help when they can not nor can any book only God can help

but this is just me and I hope this never happens again to any cult or church out

thank you

with love and a holy kiss blowing your way Roy

Roy, despite wrong things done by Wierwille, Geer, and Martindale, I don't think any of them would have gone to the degree that this person did, nor do I beleve that they would have gone in the direction of Jim Jones or David Koresh. at least, I would hope not, though with Craig anything was possible, but thank God it didn't. This is not to say that rapes or potential pedophiles were absent in TWI. We know that rapes by VPW, CG, and LCM unfortunately did occur. However murder in TWI by leaders would have destroyed the organization, and I don't think they were that stupid. God bless you. Thomas
