Jet-set monk hunted on sex charge
By Ramy Inocencio and Kocha Olarn
July 18, 2013 -- Updated 190

 


 

Thai authorities, in an investigation, uncovered a mind-boggling list of assets that they say a man sworn to austerity should not possess.
 
Nenkham, now stripped of his religious leadership, owned at least 83 automobiles and a list of properties that include plots of land, houses and condominiums, according to the DSI. Thai authorities believe more properties have yet to be accounted.

Authorities also estimate at least 300 million baht, or nearly $10 million, have disappeared from Nenkham's bank accounts in recent days. Donations over the past decade, from poor supporters as well as rich backers, had helped Nenkham amass his total wealth, according to investigators.

An Indian spiritual leader who sparked controversy when he said a gangrape victim could have saved herself by addressing her violators as brothers and asking for mercy, has been charged with raping a minor




“Only 5-6 people are not the culprits. The victim daughter is as guilty as her rapists... She should have called the culprits brothers and begged before them to stop... This could have saved her dignity and life. Can one hand clap? I don't think so.”

Thanks for the heads-up. 
 
I've heard about his rape comment, but the sexual assault charge is new to me.

Naging congressman or senator ba ito dito sa atin?

He tried to run for US president in 1988.

Mega-Church Founder Kong Hee Embezzles Almost $20 Million To Finance Pop-Singer Wife's Career



A Christian evangelical pastor in Singapore is accused of embezzling more than $19 million in church funds to finance his wife’s career as a pop singer, all under the guise of spreading God’s message through her music.

Kong Hee, 47, and five other officials from the City Harvest Church are on trial for hatching a plan to embezzle millions to make his wife Sun Ho, 41, a pop star in the U.S.

Originally accused of siphoning off $19 million, the group allegedly misappropriated another $20 million to cover up the first diversion.

All six of the accused deny the charges. The church claims Ho’s career is part of a “crossover” campaign to spread God’s word to the secular world via her music.

Evidence presented in court showed more than $10 million – “in line with Shakira’s marketing budget and less than the budget for Beyonce” - was earmarked in the church’s budget for Ho’s marketing.

Ho cofounded the evangelical church with her husband in 1989. In 2009 she moved to Los Angeles to begin a career as an English-language singer. Ho’s “China Wine” music video featuring rapper Wyclef Jean has attracted over 1.5 million views on YouTube. According to Strait Times, $1.6 million was spent on production fees for Wyclef Jean.

Ho’s hopes at stardom were reportedly dashed once the scandal broke. Ho is not currently facing any charges herself, according to Raw Story. She has been appearing in court with her husband since the trial began.

Prosecutors claim Kong and his employees channeled money collected by the church to build a new facility into sham bonds in church-linked companies – a scam known as “round-tripping.”

Church accounts were then allegedly falsified to make it appear as though those bonds were redeemed.

The trial, which went to recess on Sept. 20 and will not resume until January 2014, has brought widespread attention to fast-growing mega-churches.

INC says it sheltered ‘Yolanda’ victims
Manila Bulletin – 12 hours ago

... Bro. Jose Ventilacion, INC minister, said contrary to some “malicious” reports, their house of worship, which was located on top of a hill in Tacloban, actually provided shelter to storm victims regardless of their religious affiliation.
 
“New Zealand TV reported that there were many non-Iglesia Ni Cristo members who were sheltered in the Tacloban house of worship. Not only in Tacloban, but also in other places that sought Iglesia ni Cristo for refuge,” ...

Cults are usually designated to any religion/belief/group that don't share the view of the dominant religion. Christianity was even considered a cult during Jesus' time because it was not the popular religion back then.

My very wise college professor once said, "If you want a surefire way to get rich ...... enter politics or start your own religion".

For guys like Mike & Eddie, they left no doubt and went for both options. Slam dunk.

NYC, Orthodox Jews reach deal on circumcision suction ritual
By VERENA DOBNIK - Associated Press - Tuesday, February 24, 2015
 
NEW YORK (AP) - The city said Tuesday it has reached a tentative agreement with members of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community over a tradition known as oral suction circumcision.
 
Health officials have linked 17 cases of infant herpes since 2000 to the ancient ritual of sucking blood from the wounds on the infants’ penises.
