Brothers and sisters, I found this story incredibly disturbing.
No doubt you all recall our backslidden brother, Mike Ockisard. He left Freehold some time ago after that little "incident" involving his hand and Sister Thumper's fresh cherry pie, and fled to Idaho in shame. Well, he finally seems to be trying to turn himself around, but the earthly "authorities" decided to treat his attempt at redemption as mental illness!!
Mike finding the Mark of the Beast on his hand certainly explains his desire to grab Sister Thumper's pie without permission. The poor boy was possessed!
I hope you will all join me in praying that Mike can see his way to Jesus through the Thorazine-induced haze in which he certainly now lives, and that he realizes the electroshock therapy is not God punishing him, but rather secular "medicine" trying to brainwash him away from God.

HAYDEN, Idaho — A man who believed he bore the "mark of the beast" used a circular saw to cut off one hand, then he cooked it in the microwave and called 911, authorities said.
The man, in his mid-20s, was calm when Kootenai County sheriff's deputies arrived Saturday in this northern Idaho town. He was in protective custody in the mental health unit of Kootenai Medical Center.
"It had been somewhat cooked by the time the deputy arrived," sheriff's Capt. Ben Wolfinger said. "He put a tourniquet on his arm before, so he didn't bleed to death. That kind of mental illness is just sad."
It was not immediately clear whether the man has a history of mental illness. Hospital spokeswoman Lisa Johnson would not say whether an attempt was made to reattach the hand, citing patient confidentiality.
The Book of Revelation in the New Testament contains a passage in which an angel is quoted as saying: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink the wine of God's fury."
The book of Matthew also contains the passage: "And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for you whole body to do into hell."
Wolfinger said he didn't know which hand was amputated.
