And He Is Under Arrest In Russia
by Bob Walsh
Russian
security forces have raided a "messianic cult" in Siberia called The
City of Sun and arrested its leader who claims to be the reincarnation
of Jesus. His assumed name is Vissarion, his legal name is Sergei Torop
and the 59-year old used to be a traffic cop.
The group claims to have about 10,000 followers in several remote towns south of Krasnoyarsk.
The
actual charges are "taking funds from citizens by using psychological
pressure on them in order to profit from religious activities." (Kind
of like the Catholic church.)
