Bent to End Fast

Update (2): Bent ends fast on Friday at 12 pm. Email from Tia Bland, NM Department of Corrections:

Bent ended fast at lunch today. He didn't offer more insight on why.

Update: Mark Horner of Beyond90seconds.com posted a video-conference interview I did with him on his website. Here's also my KOB-TV coverage.

This evening (Thursday) I reported on KOB-TV that Wayne Bent is going to end his fast on Friday at noon.

Bent has not eaten since Tuesday when he was handed over to the New Mexico Department of Corrections to begin his ten year sentence for criminal sexual contact of a minor.

Bland says Bent told prison staff he has "come to terms" with his prison sentence and that he wants to serve his time as "comfortably" as possible.

I conducted a Skype video conference with Mark Horner at Beyond90seconds.com about this development. I'll post a link to that on this blog shortly.

Hello Jeremy,

This is Johnny Miller. You interviewed me at Mr. Bent's trial. This is indeed good news that Wayne is ending his fast in prison, but I do suspect something is brewing behind the scenes somehow. I would be good that Wayne does accept his present circumstances and wants to be comfortable there in prison, but it would be better if he would also tell his followers to go on with their lives

Johnny Miller here again. Well on the surface this would appear to be good news, yet I have this feeling that we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg here. Wayne has had 2 weeks alone with his followers to reason together with them some way to perhaps orgistrate some “spiritual” fulfillment of some far-feched prophecy he has made up to make him appear once again Christ-like. Wayne is into “Spiritual” numbers and uses the numbers 3, 7, 10, 12, 24, 1260, 1335 to give his words and actions some spiritual significance to carry on his delusions and keep his following intact. This current decision to end this fast at noon Friday is 3 days since he has been in the tomb, (Prison, a place of death and darkness), and he is now reappearing as a new being full of life once again, willing to eat, drink and do those things which living, or resurrected people do. I realize that I am stretching this quite a bit, but I believe this is how his mind works, and very well could be what he is trying to present to everybody here. The only sad thing for him is that he has no access to a computer to post anything for the world to read. But don’t be surprised if Jeff, or anyone back at Strong City doesn’t post something to back up what I am suggesting here. Is this the first “Special” resurection of now many future resurrections yet to come. Gosh, I hope that I am wrong and he is really starting to reason like a normal person, afterall. It would be a step in the right direction.

Johnny:

Interesting take. Thanks for the perspective. I'll be checking with the NM Corrections Dept. later today to find out if Bent did indeed eat lunch.
