Satan’s Witnesses cult terrifying Americans in every state, say experts

IF YOU think Jehovah’s Witnesses are pesky when they rap on your door to share the gospel during your child’s first birthday party or with dinner boiling over or burning on the stove,  just wait until you open your home to a gang of drug- and sex-crazed Devil worshippers trying to sell you on the advantages of giving your life and soul to Satan.

“If you haven’t met Satan’s Witnesses yet, you will – soon,” cult expert and police consultant Martin Heller told me exclusively.

“This is an aggressive group of individuals and as I have warned police departments nationwide, to simply write them off as kooks and nincompoops is the wrong thing to do.”

Agreeing with the expert are hundreds if not thousands of decent, law-abiding, right-thinking Americans who have opened their heart and home to a door buzzer or gentle knocking, only to be confronted with scenes of shrieking Satanic horror – from the decapitation of chickens, puppies and kittens to near unimaginable acts of sexual perversion … all happening right there on their doorstep.

Satan’s Witnesses are, Heller says, “extremely well versed in the arts of shock and terror.”

But police are virtually powerless to stop them because they hide behind the protections our laws provide for all religions – and like it or not, Satanism is a religion.

It is a perversion of the law, yes. But you have to remember, Heller continues, “these are perverted people.”

Frail, white-haired Mary Jane Johansen, 82, of Washington, D.C., can vouch for that. She tremblingly recalls the night Satan’s Witnesses came calling at her house.

And she says she might never recover.

“I had been sleeping but woke up when I heard glass breaking on my front porch, she said. ”I cracked open the door and asked, ‘Who’s there? What do you want? It’s late.’”

That must have been the wrong thing to say because they started cursing and laughing and taking the Lord’s name in vain. “They called me a stupid so-and-so so loud all the neighbors could hear.”

“Then they pushed the door wide open and there were at least 10 of them – men, women and children – and some of them didn’t have on a stitch of clothes. They must have been ’on’ something because they came in my house like they owned it.”

Before the night was over, the widow says, she had witnessed at least 23 acts of sexual perversion and had been asked “at least 50 times” if she was sure she didn’t want to taste human flesh or drink human blood.

And even though she didn’t see any of Satan’s Witnesses do it, she is convinced they are the culprits who drew handlebar mustaches and pinwheel eyes on companion portraits of Jesus Christ, John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King – and smashed chewing gum on the pages of her Bible.

“Satan Witnesses prey on nice people like Mrs. Johansen who can’t bring themselves to break away from any solicitation, from a telephone salesman to Jehovah’s Witnesses to a schoolkid selling candy or magazines,” explains Heller, of Atlanta, Georgia.

“That’s how they can commit these atrocities without getting into trouble. Mrs. Johansen, like so many others, never told Satan’s Witnesses to go away. So what are the police going to do? In the eyes of the law, she not only condoned what they did, she invited them into her home.”

Heller points out that it’s impossible to say just how many people belong to the Satan’s Witnesses cult, although membership likely falls between 25,000 and 30,000 with “churches” in most medium-to-large cities in every state.

The cult’s leader calls himself NATASATAN, which is Satan spelled backward and forward and capitalized. Little is known about him other than the fact that he founded the cult late last year and maintains contact with followers over the Internet and shortwave radio broadcasts. There is no known photograph of NATASATAN in existence, Heller told me.

So how can you protect yourself against Satan’s Witnesses?

Learn to say: “I’ve got my own beliefs – go away,” advises Heller. “If you can’t bring yourself to say no to these people, you’ll regret it. That’s a guarantee.”

America’s divorce rate is too LOW, says expert

SIX OF 10 American marriages will end in bitter, heartbreaking, name-calling divorce. And while some people think that’s a shameful failure rate, growing numbers of experts say it simply isn’t high enough.

“Six of 10 failed marriages? Eight of 10 or even nine of 10 are the figures to shoot for,” psychologist Barbara Leighterman declares in her controversial book, Walking the Aisle or Walking the Plank? A Thinking Person’s Guide to the Pitfalls of Marriage, which is slated for a Christmas release.

“Marriage is an anachronism,” she told me exclusively, “something that contributed to the security and happiness of our ancestors but is a leading cause of misery today.

“Way back when having a husband or wife actually improved a person’s longevity, social standing and quality of life – but these days, statistics tell us it devastates far more men, women – and yes, even children – than it helps.

“Domestic violence is America’s No. 1 killer and a billion-dollar burden on our health care system – bigger than cancer and automobile accidents combined. Reduce the number of marriages and both men and women are going to be happier, healthier and a whole lot safer.

“It really is that simple.”

Leighterman’s views are stirring a passionate national debate as newspapers and talk-radio hosts introduce them to a public that clings to the notion marriage is desirable -even as divorce rates skyrocket and polls show “marital misery” to be at an all time high.

Lining up with Leighterman are no fewer than 6,000 marriage counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, police officers, emergency room personnel and other professionals who have signed a petition calling on President George Bush to establish “National Divorce Day” to raise awareness of “the abysmal state of America’s marriages and the violence and suffering they cause.”

Leighterman acknowledges that marriage was the glue that held society together for thousands of years. All that changed in the 1960s, she said, when “the light bulb went off” and women, weary of cooking, cleaning and staying home to raise children, began to seek equality with men.

“As late as the late 1950s marriages were necessary and relatively happy because you had clear and perfectly defined divisions of labor – men’s work and women’s work – with husbands and wives each contributing to the health and well-being of the other,” explained the New York-based expert.

“Even if these marriages weren’t particularly loving, they were useful – and when something is in our self interest, we tend to stick with it through thick or thin.

“Things changed, of course, when women decided to spread their wings and demanded equal footing in the workplace. Suddenly men’s work wasn’t just for men – it was for women, too.

“That meant women didn’t need a man to bring home a paycheck because they had paychecks of their own. It also meant women didn’t have time to cook, clean and raise the kids, which are the only reasons – other than for sex and as, perhaps, a ‘TV-watching partner’ -that most men want women around.

“Even the sex issue lost its ‘oomph’ thanks to the sexual revolution and development of increasingly sophisticated and effective forms of birth control and protections against sexually-transmitted disease.”

In fact, Leighterman says the main reason most married couples stay together today “is out of some misguided guilt over the ‘right’ way to rear their children.”

She goes on to argue that people “simply ought to get used to the fact that they aren’t raising their children anyway.

“The government is raising their children from pre-school, day-care, kindergarten through college,” she noted. “If you don’t believe it, just look at the studies that show working parents interact meaningfully with their children just five minutes a day.

“That’s less time that most people spend brushing their teeth or sitting on the john.

“There isn’t a single good reason to argue for marriage,” she concluded. “If you want to be happy – if you want everyone around you to be happy – end the marriage you’ve got or resist the urge to get married in the first place.

“When you’re stretched out on your deathbed you’ll look back over your life and die with a smile on your face because you’ll know you did the right thing.”

Surgeons find man has 3 stomachs during gastric bypass operation

DOCTORS recommended gastric bypass surgery to help 476-pound Jack Gras lose weight, but when they sliced open his overly-ample belly they found they had triple the work – because he had three stomachs in there.

“No wonder I was always hungry,” Gras, 33, of Omaha, Nebraska, told me exclusively.

“I’d eat and eat and eat and never fill up, and everybody thought I was pigging out because I was a glutton.

“Now I’ve been vindicated. I’m not a slob. I’m more a freak,” he chuckles, “or at least I was until the operation.

“These days, I feel great and I’m losing weight like crazy. Of course, these days I’ve got only one stomach – and even that one’s been surgically bypassed.”

Surgeons were unprepared to remove the baker’s extra stomachs when they went in for the simple bypass they expected, “but we worked quick,” one told me, “and sliced them right out of there.”

After debating whether to leave a single stomach full-sized and intact or perform the bypass by moving the end of his esophagus closer to the beginning of his colon, they decided to “go with the original plan and shorten things up,” the surgeon who requested anonymity says.

“Mr. Gras wasn’t just fat – he was really fat,” continues the doctor. “At 476-pounds, he weighed more than his wife and two children combined.”

And that’s saying something, Gras’ wife, Millie, 36, told me, “because if you reach for the last pork chop with any of us at the table, you’re liable to get a fork in your hand.”

Gras says he’s battled the bulge all his life. As a kid of 10, he tipped the Toledos at 275 pounds – the average weight for a boy that age, according to U.S. government statistics, is a mere 100.

“I had bosoms bigger than my mom’s,” says Gras, who still claims to “sting” with the shame of it.

Growing up tubby wasn’t easy,” he continues. “All the kids teased me, and so did my Dad.

“Every time I’d leave the dinner table he’d say things like, ‘Dub-a-dub-a-dub-a – tha … tha … that’s all folks!’ like Porky Pig in those old TV cartoons.’

“But I couldn’t help eating so much – I felt like I was starving to death all the time. Now I know why. I had three stomachs to feed.”

Gras decided to do something about the flab when plopped down on the toilet one day – and the porcelain throne groaned and cracked under the strain.

“I found a surgeon on the Internet and we decided gastric surgery was right for me,” says Gras. “And the rest, as they say, is history.”

Since going under the knife in May, Gras has shed 142 pounds. He’s now down to 334 and his medical team has assured him he’ll be under 200 by next spring.

The docs gave me my stomachs in a jar of formaldehyde to keep at home,” he says. “I put them on the mantle in my living room. They’re a great conversation piece.

“Everybody who comes over and sees them for the first time says, ‘What in the world is that?’ And then I just tell them the story. They’re all in awe of it.”
