“Bishop” and Mother Arrested After Making Kids Live with Corpse

Police in Madison Wisconsin have arrested a religious leader and a mother after discovering a corpse on their toilet. Tammy Lewis was responding to instructions from “Bishop” Alan Bushey, who insisted that 90-year-old Magdeline Alvina Middlesworth would come back to life — after two months. The two adults are facing child abuse and endangerment counts while the two children are now in foster care and protected from further “religious instruction.”

The police found Middlesworth on the toilet in an advanced state of decomposition. The children were required to use a make shift toilet while the adults waited for the resurrection in the bathroom.

Bathrooms seem to have become the favorite sanctuary for the deranged. Recently, a boyfriend was arrested after letting his girlfriend sit on the toilet for two years, click here.

    O.K. Only funeral directors are licensed necromancers. If you must try this at home you need toothpicks and wheatballs. This plan was doomed from the start. Amateurs!

    I thought is was a remake of “Re-animator”. Wanna bet the reason given for the failed resurrection is that the bishop, et ux didn’t pray hard enough?

    Mespo,

    They were married? That’s just sick!

    P.S. Just checked out reviews of Re-Animator. I want to get that–for science of course!

    Jill:

    I could have sworn I read somewhere that Mom and Bishop were married but I can’t find it so I think I am in error. Sorry about that.

    I’ll tell you Mespo, I can understand home necromancy, but these two being married was just too much to contemplate. I’m so glad that’s not true!

    Toilets will never seem the same after this and Larry Craig.

    salam ‘alaykum. This is a very interesting story. And you make a very interesting note on the subject saying,

    Bathrooms seem to have become the favorite sanctuary for the deranged. Recently, a boyfriend was arrested after letting his girlfriend sit on the toilet for two years

    This is an interesting connection. What is it about the toilet and the deranged? Is this the only occurrence of something like this? Or is there a history there?

    The grade school nuns don’t look so bad after reading this story!

    What!!! I know Madison liberals get blamed for lots of different things, but this happened in Necedah, way over on the other side of the Wisconsin River, several counties away. Only the news report came from Madison.

    NECEDAH TOWNSHIP, Wis. — A Juneau County deputy asked to check on an elderly woman found her decaying body in the bathroom of a house inhabited by three others.

    Be careful, you buncha lawyers!

    Sure it did LindyLou! (That was hilarious.)

    Saifuddin,

    That question is just a PhD waiting to happen! I recommend this book: Flushed, How the Plumber Saved Civilization by W. Hodding Carter.

    Sounds like “Bishop” might be preaching with snakes too.

    This sounds like something out of a horror movie.

    Just saw a channel 27 Wisconsin news report (5/12) that the Social Security checks of the deceased were being deposited even as she sat dead for two months.

  16. 16 Jill 1, May 12, 2008 at 8:42 pm

    whooliebacon,

    Are you suggesting a motive for refusing to consult with a professional necromancer to insure a proper corpse raising? –hmmmm…

  17. 17 Jill 1, May 12, 2008 at 8:45 pm

    Furthermore, aren’t these people aware that Zombies are still able to cash their checks (Dick Cheney does) and they work for free on sugar cane farms (Dick hires contract zombies in his place, much as he did with his deferements in Vietnam). This wasn’t a well-thought out plan.

    Jill,

    Refusing to consult with a professional necromancer to insure a proper corpse-raising is grounds for an NSA letter.

    Imagine Bishop’s countenance when the passed away, indeed, reversed course.

    **Added note**.
    The talking head in yesterday’s report pronounced “Bishop” Alan Busheys’ name as Boo-shey. Now that calls for speculation.

  19. 19 Jill 1, May 13, 2008 at 8:28 am

    I had not thought of that, but you’re correct. The Lazarus guild is strong within the intelligence community. They would not approve of DIY necromancy. It’s them, licensed contractors or no one! And I agree, that Boo-shey name is quite suspicious.

    Best mugshot ever. I’m gonna practice that look for my next drivers license photo.

    This quote from http://www.funebrity.com/

    A routine call to Deputy Neville Neal in Madison,WI turned into anything but routine recently. Phoned by the sister of Magdalina Alvina Middlesworth, her sister was concerned, not having heard since her 90 yr-old sister had gone to live with church friends in March.

    Initially Tammy Lewis, mother of a girl 15, and a boy 12, denied him entry saying that the 90 yr-old woman was on vacation, then saying that she’d have to check with “her superior” first. The “superior” being “bishop Allan Bushey”.

    The deputy opened the last closed door, smelled “decaying matter”, and noticed something piled on what appeared to be a toilet. It was Middlesworth’s body, having been enthroned since she died two months earlier, also about the same length of time she’d been living with “Sister”and her family. God told Lewis that the woman would come to life, if she prayed hard enough..that’s also what Bushey told her when he instructed her to leave the woman alone in the bathroom and pray for her. He said he had received signs that God would raise her from the dead with a miracle.

    Out of the mouths of babes…. The boy had referred to Middlesworth as grandmother though there was no relationship other than belonging to the same “church”. He told a detective that he’d considered running away because he was uncomfortable with the situation, but that Bushey told him that demons were trying to make it look as if Middlesworth wouldn’t come back to life, and that if she were to be discovered he and the girl would have to go to public school and get jobs because Middlesworth paid the bills.

    I feel so badly for these children. They were treated with great cruelty. They must have been terrified. Thanks for the additional info. whooliebacon.
