Who was peter puppet (other fam. names?) was he the same person as Salem? What happened to him? He has been mentioned in a hall of fame article here, and on posts in the past. Apparently he died. Can someone who knows tell that story? I am sure others can relate to neglect which led to death. I have known of people dying because of neglecting their health on the Family's doctrine of "Faith" healing or, in other words, financial lack of liability for followers. I remember being in Spain and reading about Mo going to a Dr. for a burnt tongue. At the same time, I nearly died with bad infections related to childbirth. I really mean, nearly died. Leadership told me to go by faith and not trust doctors. How insane. And what double speak. I also know of a woman who lost her baby due to "not having the faith" for the family's inadequate and unlicensed midwifery of the time. Such tragic unneccesary losses. So, what was the story of Peter Puppet?
