Wellington's Blanket Man, Ben Hana, died suddenly yesterday, his final act in public being to wave to passers-by from the footpath outside Wellington Hospital. Ben was the black sheep of a strick Jehovah's Witness mother.
May he rest in peace
RIP Ben Hana --- Blanket Man

WEIRD about the mother being a witness. As to Blanket Man ... Mental illness is a sad sad thing.

Getting yourself out of a cult doesn't mean the cult is out of you.
I know of a few Kiwis who were raised in doomsday cults who went on to make a mess of their lives. My family has been involved with some of them. I would be very surprised if Ben didn't know my family. I'm sure I could easily find out who studied with his Mum, but I might not like the answer.
