Re: Was This Warranted Or Necessary?
I have read a pretty detailed account of her crimes and they were cold blooded premeditated murder. Not some spontaneous crime of passion from some mentally disabled person.
While her stepson died quickly from the bullets from her young lovers gun her husband was shot with a shotgun and died a much slower agonizing death. He was still alive when the police got there and told them that his wife knew who shot him before he died.
The statement her attorney released after her death would be considered laughable except glorifying a double murderer is too sick to laugh at. He said - “Tonight, the machinery of death in Virginia extinguished the beautiful, childlike, and loving human spirit of Teresa Lewis."
Her deceased husband and stepson might differ a bit with that characterization of her but sadly they are not here to challenge it SINCE SHE KILLED THEM!!!!
Her execution was just punishment for a horrific crime. I hope she made things right with the Lord and is on the streets of glory. If not she not only met her earthly punishment for her actions but has now answered to the judge of us all for them as well.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
