Kenya: When Yisrael Hawkins of the Hosue of Yahweh predicted nuclear annihilation on September 12th, his Kenyan followers bunkered down to await the end.
Then nothing happened.
But they are not even slightly embarrassed, and insist they will be proved right soon enough, and that mockers will die as a result.
They say that the nuclear will start around the great river Euphrates and the house of Yahweh is only mandated to teach people what they must do to protect themselves.
But this will not be the end. The end will come 13 months later with four-fifths of the population destroyed,warns Yaaqob Kiplagat, a member of the religious group.
They are well prepared for nuclear war, although they do not explain why anyone would waste nukes on Kenya.
The group has in their bunkers molasses, honey, illegal brew — busaa — and other permissible foodstuff according to their faith.
Mosheh said they have eaten enough food which contains molasses for immunity of which will prevent them from being affected by the nuclear chemicals.
We have also prepared safe rooms of which are covered with thick paper bags which will absorb the nuclear chemicals.
They are a bit odd, even by loony fundie standards, refusing to call the Bible by that name.
Furthermore, we do not call it the bible, we call it the book of Yahweh because the bible means Babylon which is a place of idol worship,he says.

I particularly like the "don't mock us or you'll die" angle and yet my head does not appear to be spontaneously combusting. Maybe they need a new invisible friend.
Evangelism, witnessing and similar activitites go by one name here—, and is no different from spam for viagra, penis enlargement products and pornography. We do not take advertising. If you want to advertise your imaginary friend, please spend your own money on your own web space to do so. Any attempts to use the comments section for advertisements will be deleted, and the perpetrator barred, unless they are particularly stupid, in which case I reserve the right to pinch an idea from Teresa Nielsen Hayden and delete all the vowels.
This is not a contacts site. If you are looking for help regarding a particular path, I suggest The Witches' Voice, which does operate a contacts service.
Allowed HTML:
a href, b, br, p, strong, em, ol, ul, li, blockquote, q, pre. If your name has accents in it, things will work better if you use the XHTML entities for those letters. The same applies if you are using a word processor to compose your comment, then copying and pasting the text—either turn off curly quotes and avoid using em-dashes, or edit your comment after pasting to get rid of them. Garbled comments usually get deleted.
