20/20 - Josh Powell Told Sons He Had 'Surprise' For Them, Social Worker

[dovebar]

Don't read the new People magazine story unless you have a strong stomach - it's very sympathetic to JP. Not only is his photo on the cover, and an enormous photo as "loving family" inside. Not only does it include an entire sidebar column of a day the reporter spent with loving father JP who just wanted for people to get to know him....it accepts without any evidence his allegation that Mormons had ganged up on him and made his life impossible! In other words, poor JP he was a loving father, just as pictured in the photos and as he "seemed" to the reporter (hello, social worker) but he was tragically pushed over the edge by those Mormons.

Funny, we haven't heard a word about funeral arraignments for Josh have we? Such a well respected family man and all, one would think he'd have a proper burial. :doh: NOT!

What the ...? Did they write the story before he killed the kids and then not want to waste the copy?

To me, it showed how adept SP and JP are/were at pulling the wool over people's eyes (no pun intended).

My guess is that his service will be very quiet and very private.
