MOSCOW (Nov. 15) - At least 30 members of a Russian doomsday cult have barricaded themselves in a remote cave to await the end of the world and are threatening to commit suicide if police intervene, officials and media said Thursday.
Ummm I am a tad bit confused ...
"They are simple Christians," a local priest, Father Georgy, told NTV television station. "They say: 'The church is doing a bad job, the end of the world is coming soon and we are all saving ourselves'."
Isn't suicide kind of against the rules of Christianity??
This reminds me of when I was in 5th grade... My friends mom was a total loon..
We were talking about what we were going to be for Holloween and I asked what she (my friend) was going to be next year...
Her mother, who was driving us home from school, said "Oh, we will not be here next Holloween" Of course being 10 or 11 I was a bit confused and asked why? She then proceeded to explain that before the next Holloween true believers would be taken back to heaven. She actually depicted it as though they would literally float up to the sky and the rest of us would just watch these bodies floating skyward.
Even then I thought she was not mentally healthy.
I do wonder whatever happened to them and what she made of the fact that she never floated up ??
