This week, in Grants Pass, Oregon, a strange situation unfolds, within a seemingly innocent prayer group, that leads to multiple cold blooded murders, and story of miraculous survival. Everything stems from a small group of people, believing that a 9 year old boy has the power to speak to God, and many angels. These angels then tell the child what other people are overrun  by demons. The group then takes matters into their own hands, by killing these people!!   Along the way, we find out that you know it's a rural area, if "mudding" is the main activity, that you shouldn't look to a 9 year old for the answers to anything, and that when a child is writing on your wall, in lipstick, it's ALWAYS freaky!!   New episodes, every Wednesday & Friday nights!!

Such a silly phrase. 'It's the quiet ones you gotta watch'. Meanwhile the guy sitting right next to you is repeatedly slamming a machete on the bar screaming 'IM GONNA KILL THE NEXT MOTHERFUCKER THAT COMES THROUGH THE DOOR'!!! Who are YOU gonna watch?

Suicidal ideation can include an internal voice urging self-harm. During a nervous breakdown in ’25, that voice—my own—kept telling me to end my life. I imagined the taste of a gun barrel and couldn’t shake a metallic taste afterward, even though I don’t own a gun. That fear made me wake my wife and go to the hospital. I still don’t understand why the ER doctor in this story didn’t know to do this himself? Premeditated? 🤔

I lived in Waterford for 4 years in the late 80s sadly I went to HS there as my dad was a retired military government employee , it was the most snotty clickie place I've ever lived , the people were also pretty racist and the area is super segregated there were like 10 black kids in the whole school but 5 miles in the next town over New London was where the black kids went , I had never seen anything like it in my life.

I love how Jimmie and James think there aren't any places as cold as the eastern US in the west because they picture the whole western US as equivalent to their experience in Phoenix.

I don't know guys. Making a living off of the victims and their families is pretty shitty. How about a free psa for domestic violence awareness or mental health awareness? You know, give back a little in a visible way that's totally free and simple for you but might actually help someone while you earn a living off of other people's misery.
