CENTERTON, Ark. — The mayor of an Arkansas town resigned on Wednesday, claiming he was abducted and brainwashed by Satan worshippers nearly three decades ago. Centerton Mayor Ken Williams said he has been living under an assumed name for nearly 30 years. He had been mayor since 2001.

Williams told authorities he was born Don LaRose and that in the mid-1970s, he was a preacher in Indiana. He said he was abducted and brainwashed into forgetting all about his life as Don LaRose. It was a double-life he had never acknowledged, Williams said, because he didn’t even realize it existed until he had recently taken a truth-serum injection.

As Williams regained his memory, he said, he realized that he had a wife and two kids but that he had decided to leave and take on a new identity to protect them. “I had no choice. The choice was to watch my family killed before my eyes or go with these people, and I chose instead to run,” Williams said. He wouldn’t explain from who he was running, saying only that he had been brainwashed. “I had multiple shock treatments,” Williams said. “It took five years to get my memory back.” “What happened in 1980 — whether it was right or wrong — I did it under the threat of my family and for my own survival,” he said. The information went public, Williams said, because he runs a Web site about Don LaRose and his disappearance. LaRose’s former family found the Web site and started inquiring about its author. They found the site registered to a Ken Williams and went from there. Also, his resignation was signed with two names, he said.

Ah, yeah. Heres a link to his website, it seems its been abducted by Satanists also.

    In the fundamentalist church I was raised in, they had a vivid and sincere belief that there was a Satanic “anti-church” operating in our own community.

    Of course, we were able to find individuals who tended to be either mentally ill and honestly believed they were part of that movement. Or, they were sheisters who got fame, glory and sometimes money by perpetuating the myth. Bob Larson and Mike Warnke were the most famous.

    From this article, it’s hard to tell if he’s one or the other.

    (Before you atheists mock this religious mythology — remember that “secular” alien abductions are essentially the same phenomenon.)

    So he skips out on his wife and kids and naturally, it’s all Satan’s fault (ok, Satan worshipers)…. what a tool.

    Thank god we have satan to blame for everything we do!

    Or is it the other way around?

    Cheers

    Show me this “truth serum”. Because one doesn’t exist. And don’t say Sodium Pentathol, because it doesn’t make you tell the truth. It does the same thing a large amount of alcohol would do.

    Moreover, I’m ashamed that in 2008 you can still claim “the devil” or “devil worship” as a defense. Can I rack up huge debt on credit cards and get out of paying because “Satan” made me buy those 12 flat-panel TVs?

    #1 – (Before you atheists mock this religious mythology — remember that “secular” alien abductions are essentially the same phenomenon.)

    And I should reserve my mockery… why?

    Do you think I’d be more forgiving of the nutty nutbags who claim alien abduction just because they weren’t doing Satanic cult abduction?

    Those who are truly mentally ill deserve sympathy and treatment. Those who are not deserve the scorn they have coming for being stupid beyond all reason.

  9. Ron Larson says:

    So in the 60’s it was drugged hippie abductions. In the 70’s it was alien abductions. In the 80’s it was satan worshipers abduction.

    What a tool. I’d bet there is some missing money at the bottom of this.

    This story’s pretty aged…

  11. GigG says:

    Abducted by Satan worshipers and ends up with miles of the Wal-Mart HQ.

    Somebody ought to look into that.
