    Evangelical, Pro-Israel, Brazilian Drug Lord

    I've read a lot of weirdness but this one was surprising: There is more at the link and some comments are also interesting: Since Peixão – whose nickname comes from the ichthys “Jesus” fish – took power in 2016 of five favelas that have become known as the Complexo de Israel, an allusion to...

    Universal Church Of The Kingdom Of God

    I'd have to confess to never having heard of these guys before, then earlier today a young lass came round pushing newspapers through letterboxes, at first i thought it was one of the local flavours of free paper that the council or police put out, then i twigged that it looked a bit odd...

    Nurse Suspended For Prayer Offer

    Oh for the love of…:rolleyes: From Auntie Beeb: This has made various front pages, notably the Daily Mail (with predictable ire), but the nurse herself comes over as entirely kind and sincere - she just offered, rather sweetly, to pray for a patient. When the patient said no thank you, she...

    Russell Brand: From Comic To Icke-Esque Conspiracist & Possible Abuser?

    Full story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7698417.stm I'm not a fan of Brand, though I don't mind Ross, but hasn't this got a teensy bit out of proportion? How many of those complaining (and isn't complaining easy these days?) have actually heard the programme? I did hear it...

    Naughty Nuns

    Children forced to sleep with dead nun? I found this lurid little gem nestling on a site devoted to crimes of the clergy. It appears to date from September last year. Somehow the lack of detail on the withdrawn charge of "forcing children to sleep with dead nun" makes it even more chilling...
