edgard metelus, a jehovah's witness, took part in a prayer service in petionville with some 200 faithful, most of whom managed somehow to find presentable sunday clothes amid the chaos.

"we continue to pray for haiti and to thank the heavens, because without prayer there would have been even more victims," he said, as the group raised its voice in praise to god.. "even more victims without prayer"?????
