A member of the Followers of Christ Church, which has fallen under scrutiny for allowing hundreds of children to die from medical neglect, defends his religious practices in a hearing over whether parents should be allowed to deny their children medical care as part of their faith.

We happen to practice what you call faith healing. A lot of people think of some spectacular spectacle that you see on these TV preacher evangelist shows. No, that's not what it's about. This is a way of life. We live it day to day every day. If we are injured, sometimes we just pick up and go on. Sometimes we [indistinguishable] more serious and we refer to the Lord to take care of us. In that instance we also recognize in His supreme judgment and recognize that sometimes it isn't a result that we would really care for. Again I have to say, life extends beyond this earth. When it's all over we believe that all of this will have been a blink of the eye, and well, what was all that fuss? As far as adherence to any law, who do you better obey: God or man? I claim to be a citizen of the State of Idaho, which is a neighbor state of the United States of America. I'm not subject to any team except my Lord and Savior, and in that I claim no citizenship. I'm a member of the Kingdom of God. And as Paul did, he proclaimed his right as a Roman when it would work well for him, and I proclaim my rights as a citizen of the State of Idaho.
