Last year when Harold Camping was blaring his end of times scenario there was a news story here in Los Angeles about a woman in Palmdale that tried to kill her two daughters to save them from the apocalypse. This woman turned out to be a former Church of God member who tried to slit her daughters throats. The girls survived and she is in prison.
Last night on the news another woman in Palmdale tried to drown her son in a pool to save him from the apocalypse. I just hope this is not another COG member! The boy survived, thankfully!
