Woman, children live with dead woman on toilet for two months

A Wisconsin mother and her two children lived with the decomposing body of a 90-year-old woman placed on a toilet for more than two months after a sect leader told her to pray for her to wake up.

This undated photo provided by the Juneau County Sheriff's Office shows Tammy Lewis. A sheriff's deputy discovered the remains of a 90-year-old woman on a toilet in a house she shared with Lewis and two children, authorities said Friday, May 9, 2008. (AP Photo/Juneau County Sheriff's Office)

Maybe if you pray hard enough her skin will crawl back onto her body and everything will be OK.

anyone who would believe that praying will bring an old lady back to life should definitely drink the kool-aid.

Kool-aid, anyone?

Thomas Jefferson was right when he said:

I can think of no worse fate that could befall a man other than being a Christian.

This takes that statement to a whole new height.

Hey kids, mom has bad news and good news for you.

First the bad news - Grandma ain't coming back no more. Those men in the white coats who put her in the big black plastic bag and took her away won't be back. Neither will grandma. She's moving in with Jesus.

Now the good news - if you open all the windows, the smell should go away in a day or three.

Brainwashed, robotic, cult mentality thinking at its best (worst). Some people should not be allowed to participate in any form of organized religion.

Jim Jones and Dovid Koresh would have had a field day with this puppet.

Having said that, this story doesn't have a "ring of truth" to it; the link doesn't take you to the site of a news reporting agency (newspaper, tv-station, radio station, etc.).

Please tell me that someone has taken those children away from the mother and out her into some type of place to help her mentally before ever returning those children. This had to have just really messed with those children, not only to smell that but to know they had lived with someone who was dead for months.

Dang it, woman! You just didn't pray HARD ENOUGH!

What is it with Wisconsin and corpses? Google the words "Wisconsin" and "corpse" together and you hit a goldmine of depravity.

the body is made mostly of water- 75-80%. this means that a huge mess was created. the 10-15 gallons of liquids and semi-liquids, the odour, the mold and fungi, the vermin. that house is trashed.

a trauma scene cleanup company could fix it- but who would pay for it? this family sounds really f'd up.

where's this preacher? he should pay to clean up the mess. that community is suffering because of his actions- can you imagine living next door, this summer? he's responsible for this.

Apparently, their "faith" that they should not report the death was bolstered by the fact they were all living off the poor old dame's checks.

I'm thinking of that guy from "Dirty Jobs".... this is just so UN BELIEVABLY hard to understand.:(:(:(

When I was a young girl and there was severe flooding in our small Iowa town. My kitten drowned. I remember that I prayed to God for kitty to wake up. I was 8 years old.

Okay, it was gross enough with the idea of a dead body in the house, but on the TOILET?! Where the hell did they go to pee?

"Sorry, son, you'll have to take a leak off the front porch,'cause grandma's on the throne right now."

Those poor kids will need therapy for the reat of their lives...
