the fist of god
Tuesday, a car with three Jehovah’s Witnesses pulled up to the street. Two of them knocked on Father Parnell’s door.
Father Parnell’s 26 year old daughter answered.
Mary Parnell said the Jehovah’s Witnesses “talked at her” and that her father “rescued her.” But a fight between the Priest and the Jehovah’s Witnesses ended up in the street.
Parnell says the fight was so violent, they tore his shirt. “He grabbed it and tore it this way,” Father Parnell said. He also said, they beat him until he passed out. “He sat on top of me until I passed out, completely unconscious.”
Harry Dwinell lives down the street from the church. But, he’s a Southern Baptist. “I don’t have a dog in this hunt.”
Dwinell says it was actually the priest who attacked the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Dwinell said, “Rambo down there commenced to beat on them. I saw the first fist thrown. In fact, he was the only one throwing fist. He was in a fighting mode!”

Thank you, Deron. For god’s sake–thank you.
I do what I can.
I’m seeing Father Parnell’s 26 year old “daughter”, somehow.
Yes, the daughter was happy for the visit and I bet things strayed from theology. Maybe she liked those white shirts and ties and bicycles. Or is that the Mormons? Or maybe one of them was Prince. Or maybe that priest had a history with one of those boys and didn’t want the daughter getting him. What a grand situation!
or maybe the daughter was smoking a cigarette, fingering the gauzy curtains; she watched as the young men rode up — oh, boy, she thought to herself, things are about to get fun.
Tonight, on Fox: When Witnesses Attack!
Our neighbours here are Witnesses. I’m gonna be careful as I only have one shirt with me.
