James earl ray - sweat lodge - gone wrong :( prayers please

[Humble Janitor]

I'm not sure if I should be disgusted at the idea of someone charging for sweat lodges or chalk it up to yet another rape of native american culture by greedy people?

They can be very beneficial but apparently, the guy in charge didn't do it right.

Big prayer for your friend eXchanger.

I don't know this man or his work, but I did catch last night on CNN/Anderson Cooper reporting that he was arrested yesterday in Prescott, AZ where I live. The reporting made Ray out to be a real bad guy. Made him sound unsympathetic, and non-interactive in the time of need. One woman called in, I believe her name was Bonnie Bunn, or something like that. In any event, she was there at the lodge and testified that Ray was completely useless, just stood there starring and then disappeared. They had a lawyer on who talked about there being over 700 pages written by various attendees of their first hand accounts of the incident, and the lawyer sounded like they incriminated Ray further. By contrast, Ray and his lawyers announced that he was interactive, and hands on (literally) during the whole trauma. Ray apparently claims there was "even a doctor on site"....giving the appearance, he hired one to be present while these sweat lodge's go on....just in case. Yet, Bunn claims, that is a misrepresentation of the facts, and that the doctor was a participant.

Over all, my sense from the report is that at this time, Ray is in big trouble and may go to jail.
