Minister Dies From Snakebite During Easter Service At Church |
http://www.wftv.com/news/3004502/detail.html
ROSE HILL, Va. -- The minister of a church in far southwest Virginia has
died after being bitten by a snake during church services.
Authorities say the Reverend Dwayne Long of Rose Hill was bitten by a
rattlesnake Sunday afternoon and refused to seek medical treatment. He
died early Monday at his home.
Lee County Sheriff Gary Parsons says Long was a minister at a
Pentecostal church where members practice serpent-handling.
Parsons says Long was holding a rattlesnake during an Easter service
when the snake bit him on the back of a finger. He says the congregation
prayed for the minister, but no one -- including Long -- sought medical
treatment.
The sheriff says he doubts any charges will be filed, because, in his
words, "it's their belief."

It probably died from the venom of the minister.

I guess that since 'god' all-knowingly planned every single future
mechanical action for everybody and everything BEFORE anything was
even made, then 'god' won't be surprised in the least, because it was
all choreographed.

ROSE HILL, Va. -- The minister of a church in far southwest Virginia has
died after being bitten by a snake during church services.
Authorities say the Reverend Dwayne Long of Rose Hill was bitten by a
rattlesnake Sunday afternoon and refused to seek medical treatment. He
died early Monday at his home.
Gee, I wonder why his god didn't save him? <rolls eyes>
He must have done a No-No.
Dancing around a church juggling a poisonous snake comes to mind.

I wonder what would have happened if the bible told them to jump off of
a cliff.
The world would be a more peaceful place?

Snakes are a tool of "Satin", however, a tool was handling the snake.
When you get your tools mixed up, well, it's all good fun till someone gets
