[ WP ] The number-one killer of Americans annually is heart disease ; the number-two killer is cancer . Number three is Mrs. Esther G. Waters , aged 78 , of Spokane , WA . Tell us about her .

As a young girl Esther had never dreamed of fame or fortune. She only wanted to do what was best for everyone, for all of the people that she loved, her friends and family, and the people of her father ’ s congregation. She was surrounded by good people all of the time and as a child when she saw bad things happen she prayed like her father taught her and it always brought her peace. 
 
 It was not a surprise to anyone that Esther wanted to attend seminary to become a minister like her father. In her career Esther traveled the world preaching and volunteering. She studied to become a nurse so that she could care for and gave vaccines to babies. She became a teacher and spent years teaching in the third world. She fed the hungry, she built homes for victims of natural disasters, provided aid in war torn countries, and at every opportunity she spread the word of God. Esther was by all accounts a modern day saint. The name Esther G. Waters was synonymous with Mother Theresa, their only difference was the type of religion they practiced. 
 
 But now she was old and her bones were tired. Her congregation and remaining family members had held an international fundraiser and collected enough money for her to live out her years in a comfortable nursing home in Spokane WA. She was sad to leave her little farm house in Coeur D ’ Alene, Idaho but at the end of the day she did not want to be a burden on her family so went willingly. 
 
 What she didn ’ t expect was so many visitors and so many calls from people who wanted to hear her speak about God and to counsel them. Her Grandnephew Kale had come to visit one afternoon, and after noticing the number of calls and visits she got he suggested she do a weekly pod cast so that she could continue to teach on a grand scale. She thought it was a wonderful idea and the equipment he brought her was very easy to use. So here she was an old lady with a pod cast and more than 800 thousand listeners worldwide. She was astounded and warmed each day by the comments and e-mails she received. 
 
 Life was changing for Esther though. In the nursing home she was watching more and more television as it was getting harder for her to move around. She began to feel depressed about the state of the world- according to CNN and FOX News there was never any good news. It was becoming a chore for her to produce her little pod cast and preach about love and joy when all she saw each day was death and destruction. One day she saw a nurse stealing money from her dear friend Betty and she had had enough! 
 
 Esther G. Waters took to the air waves with a ferocity that she had never experienced before. She ranted in a frenzy about love and kindness towards your neighbor! She helplessly preached to her listeners about forgiveness for all. After an hour of heated ranting about love Esther did something she had never done before. She gave up. Furthermore she told her listeners to give up. The world was too damaged, too dangerous, and too hard. She called on them to stop. To arrive at the gates of heaven and beg to be let in because Earth had become nothing more than a fiery hell. 
 
 To date Esther G. Waters of Spokane, WA conducted the largest mass suicide on record becoming the third largest killer of the human race. Officials have tried to locate and delete all recordings of the pod cast but once it went viral there was really no stopping it. It is thought that one out of every four people who hear the pod cast consider suicide as their only option.
