...back, because some of this is just too delicious not to read... The "missionaries" were a group of entrepreneurs from a Baptist assembly in Idaho, who leased a luxury resort in the Dominican Republic, kidnapped Haitian kids (as far back as November, before the earthquake) and, with the "help" of DR officials, got gullible Americans to live in the resort, NOT FOR CHEAP, for 90 days, fulfilling the "residency" requirement. It was a baby mill, using Christian missions as a cover. May they rot in whatever hell they fear most. cheers oz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
