Cult leader Wayne Bent is scheduled to be in court on Wednesday as a judge decides whether the state should force feed him.
Bent wrote letters to his cult in Union County letting them know that he will begin fasting on Sept. 1.
His fourth week of fasting is fast approaching, he will not have any food or water. Now the state is rushing a decision to intervene and force feed him with IVs and tubes.
Medical experts said that within seven days of no water, his organs will begin to break down.
Jeff Bent, Wayne Bent’s son, said the state needs to accept his father’s wishes and religious practices and not force him to eat.
