Winston Blackmore makes a new year's prediction

Winston Blackmore of Bountiful, B.C. has made "one prediction" for the coming year for "responsible persons that deliberately break up families": "This year will be the beginning of your end."

Blackmore won a court victory in September when B.C. Supreme Court Judge Sunni Stromberg-Stein threw out a charge of criminal polygamy against him and Jim Oler.

Since then Blackmore has maintained his blog Sharing the Light, answering questions about religious and other issues. On December 23, he responded to a question about making predictions for the coming year:

Maybe I will make one prediction. Here goes. This coming year will not be a good one for all you officers, presidents, bishops, counsellors, trustees, spokespersons, or any other responsible persons that deliberately break up families, interfere with the free agency of men, women and children, and cause an attack or assist in an attack, religious or otherwise upon any person or his family.

This year will be the beginning of your end and in the end you will be single, lonely, desolate and damned.

    The guy doesn't have a

    The guy doesn't have a family, he has a assortment of girls who are too stupid to understand his interest is to bed them so they can produce other kids. Mind you some of his"wives" are awfully young. But I guess he gets his jollies that way. Religion sure gets used in some strange ways. Hope the Canadian Supreme Court drops him in deep do do and eventualy jail

    Innocence

    The girls who he weds do not know any better. They are kept in the dark about sexuality and are told to obey the master. He is the master and takes advantage of them. I believe the legal system erred in the charges brought against this man. I believe they should have included charges that show he took advantage of girls below the age of consent.

    Well, that's one more blog to steer clear of. Thanks for the warning, Crawford.

    Have you noticed all the "game-changing" in the news recently?

    Premier Christy Clark's plan to build two liquified natural gas export facilities in B.C.? "Game changer."

    Former ICBC president Robyn Allan's damning report on the economic risks of Northern Gateway? "Game changer."

    Mitt Romney's new debate coach? The coming Nintendo console? Kickstarter?

    All "game-changers," my friends.

    Are we on the cusp of some serious status-quo shake-up, or something? This week, count on The Tyee to scope out and debunk the latest game changers -- whatever that means -- here in B.C. and beyond. -- Robyn Smith
