The current articles states that Y-b-Y is out on parole. This conflicts with today's (10/7/06) CNN reporting stating he is in prison requesting early release because he has cancer.

This article needs serious clean up for accuracy.

See AP reporting below:

MIAMI, Florida (AP) -- Yahweh Ben Yahweh, a former cult leader linked to nearly two dozen gruesome killings in the 1980s, is seeking immediate release from parole supervision because he has advanced cancer and wants to "die with dignity," his lawyers said Friday.

Yahweh, 70, is asking U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke to order the federal Parole Commission to make a quick decision on whether to terminate parole in his case. He lives in the Miami area.

"He is not a risk of flight. He is not a danger to the community. He is frail and he is dying," his attorney Jayne Weintraub said. "It's time for the bars to be removed."

Yahweh can no longer walk because of bone and nerve damage from the cancer, according to his doctor. "His prognosis is extremely poor and death appears imminent," Dr. Wynne A. Steinsnyder wrote in a September 28 letter filed with the court.

Yahweh, a self-proclaimed "Black Messiah," served 11 years of an 18-year federal prison sentence for a racketeering conviction stemming from his role in up to 23 murders, some involving beheadings and severed ears and fingers.

He was born Hulon Mitchell Jr. in Oklahoma but changed his name to the Hebrew words for "God, son of God." His Nation of Yahweh boasted hundreds of followers who often dressed all in white. (edit)

This article could do with splitting into one article about the Nation of Yahweh organisation and one about its leader, Yahweh ben Yahweh. Also we need more distinction between the organisation's beliefs and practices and the criminal practices that have happened in the past.--62.252.64.15 11:48, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

I just did that, Nation of Yahweh is now its own article. I also did a fairly radical rewrite of this article.--T. Anthony 12:04, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says that she's this guy's sister. Is that true or worth a mention?--T. Anthony 00:49, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
