'Nuts! Indian guru coaxes 400 followers to cut off their testicles, grow closer to God

An Indian spiritual guru and multi-millionaire has convinced up to 400 followers that they should cut off their own testicles, Metro reported.
A lesson that not all theology and philosophy is equally rational.
Cited
Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, 47, said the castrations would bring the men closer to God.
The painful procedures were carried out at a hospital owned by Singh, who is worth $40 million.
He also has around 50 million followers worldwide. Singh has been dubbed the "Guru in Bling."
The men were castrated around the year 2000 but the cases are only now coming to light as Singh is accused of grievous bodily harm by India's Central Bureau of Investigation.
Since the event did these 'geniuses' realize...
Something was missing from their lives?
They had missed the cut?
They presently were not playing with all their marbles?
Cited
One lawyer for the alleged victims said the men were told "only those who get castrated will be able to meet God."
One should avoid a cult-like guru.
One should use reason.
One should pray to God for guidance.
One should use historical, Biblical, Scripture. The Hebrew Bible and New Testament.
One should use a variety of reasonable Biblical, theological and philosophical sources.
One should use reasonable academic sources.

It is not the first time Singh has been in a scrape with the law.
In 2002 he was charged with conspiracy following the murder of an investigative journalist.
And several female followers have accused him of sexual assault, according to Metro.
Singh has never been convicted.
Mate brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. Two stone lighter is not my idea of spiritual enlightenment. You are certainly correct in stating that all theology is not equal.

ReplyDeleteWaay cool! Some very valid points! I appreciate you writing this article and the rest of the website is also really good.
MR. ZHANZHI HONG
ReplyDeleteHANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD. BRANCH,
CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONK KONG.
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Zhanzhi Hong credit officer
of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have an urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you.
I honestly apologize and hope I do not cause you much embarrassment by contacting
you through this means for a transaction of this magnitude, but this is due
to confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium, sorry my English
is not very good.
Furthermore, due to this issue on my hands now, it became necessary for me
to seek your assistance, and it is imperative for me to know your opinion.
On April 6 ,2011, an American Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese
Petroleum and Chemical corporation Mr. Richard Nault made a numbered time(Fixed)
Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$30,000,000.00 (Thirty Million
Dollars only) in my branch.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but
got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered
from his contract employers, the Hong Kong Petroleum and Chemical Corporation
that Mr. Richard Nault died from an automobile accident.
On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL
and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made
further investigation and discovered that Mr. Richard Nault did not declare
any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit
paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$30,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest
is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one
will ever come forward to claim it. According to Laws of Hong Kong, at the
expiration of 5(five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the
Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand
in as the next of kin to Mr. Richard Nault so that the fruits of this old
man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and
address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits
that will put you in place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization
of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration
in your favor for the transfer.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of
70% for me and 25% for you and 5% for Expenses Incurred in the course of
the transaction.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be
done by the attorney and with my position as the credit officer guarantees
the successful execution of this transaction. If you are really interested
in doing this business with me please reply immediately to this email address,
{zhanzhihong100@outlook.com}
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.
You should observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction
would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance
to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply
Thanks and regards.
Mr. Zhanzhi Hong
I have decided with my busy schedule to spend Sunday night looking for possible employment more related to my PhD degree although not eliminating work options related to IT and security with that government license. But it becomes a major task working through the online application programs when applying on University and College websites especially. It is like a need a nap after filling out an app...
