Police look for 5 adults, 9 children missing after Palmdale, Calif., church service

I'd like to know the REAL story. While I don't personally subscribe to "rapture

theology", most of the people that do are waiting for the rapture. Not trying to

create it. I know there are cults, but the idea of committing suicide to reach

Jesus, or to bring on the "end times" is ridiculous, and even most fringe

christians know it. This is BS. Something else is going on. Like some of the

adults are microbiologists or something.

As a suicide, you burn in hell. Eternal damnation. No god no rapture no relatives just the demons of hell tormenting ur soul for theiramusememt and pleasure

I posted this in the thread from last night:

I think I know who they are...

Several weeks ago, I was at the park with my son. This man was there with his family and a few other people and asked if we wanted to join them for lunch...

I declined, being the antisocial person I am but they brought my son some watermelon. One woman started asking me questions, just normal conversation, then asked me if I knew about God the Mother and New Jerusalem. I was slightly intrigued, and then she started telling me that we were in the end times and that the rapture was coming quickly and only a few chosen would be taken. THEN she wanted me to sit and read the bible with her.

I did some slow backing away and said I had to get going, but she really, really wanted me to discuss this with her, wanted to come to my house, etc...

She gave me a card with a website on it... Of course I checked it out.

Damn, I put a link to it on one of the Russ threads... I'll try to find it.

I guarantee it's the same people.

I didn't see if anyone posted this, but this is the church.. i don't speak spanish very well, so maybe someone can translate what's on the first page there.

"A cordial welocme to all brothers and friends visiting our page.

Our primary mission is to spread the word of God from Antelope Vally to all the world."

It really doesn't say anything out of line with any other Christian Church, although the little chat window on the side mentions the woman leading the gruop:

"guest_7063 : la hermana chicas esta loca. Esperamos que no le pase nada a los ninos."

sister chicas is crazy. We hope nothing happens to the children.

Does this story sound familiar???

"When my friend came and I had to go, Arturo invited me to a Bible study at their “Elohim Academy.” I asked if they had any pamphlets (I keep a collection of those). No. A website? It’s under construction. I got the sense he didn’t want me trolling after them on the web. He gave me his email address and I shook his hand. The Asian woman with him, who said not a word, left me hanging.

Of course, this morning, I jumped out of bed and onto Google. Here’s what I’ve learned, in interesting-fun-fact form:

* The World Mission Society Church of God was founded 1964 in Korea.
* The founder, Ahn Sang-Hong, was believed to be Christ’s second coming, but he died in 1985 and was succeeded by Zang Gil-Jah, “the heavenly Mother.”
* Ahn sang-hong was previously a Seventh-Day Adventist, and his new church retains Adventist beliefs about the Saturday Sabbath and not celebrating Christmas.
* When they say “Holy Land,” what they mean is the Republic of Korea.
* Not surprisingly, edgy Christians call the World Mission Society Church of God a “cult.” (I insist on the less judgmental formula “new religious movement.”)
* The church received an award from the Korean government.

Anyhow, there is so much more to learn, as always."

thanks =) yeah, nothing really out of the ordinary on the front page, but i wonder what it says inside the site, if you're a member and can access that info..

Officials in Southern California issued an emergency alert late Saturday for six adults and eight children who are members of a "cult-like" group believed to be planning a mass suicide.

Look, who cares?

Why not launch a police investigation into the millions of innocent people killed in Iraq since 'the war for assets' started?

Nah, that'd be constructive rather than belittling.
