WHY PROPHET OWOUR'S CHURCH MATCHES THE DEFINITION OF A CULT.

I promised myself  that I'm going to revisit my old time favorite book by Michael Shermer -Why People believe in weird things,I must say that I have a strong conviction that it is not only clear that Objectivism was (and is) a type of cult— but we have other unlikely cults when looking at it broadly with Christianity  in the picture. 

With his concise explanation of  the Unlikeliest Cult, it is actually through  Ayn Rand's  philosophical  believes which showed that  it was  absolutism that  was the biggest flaw in  her Objectivism and therefore the cult is  formed from that believe. 

With this in mind ,I have personality related the events that have married the Prophet Owour Crusades and come to believe that there is  latent cult in Christianity.

Allow me  to support my argument by illustrating the few characteristics  of  a cult as argued by the author and  you will be able to relate them   to  Prophet Owour ,Kanyari et al  Followers. 

Michael Sherman says that a  cult is characterized by;

Veneration of the leader: Glorification of the leader to the point of virtual sainthood or divinity.

Inerrancy of the leader: Belief that the leader cannot be wrong. 

Omniscience of the leader: Acceptance of the leader's beliefs and pronouncements on all subjects, from the philosophical to the trivial.

Persuasive techniques: Methods, from benign to coercive, used to recruit new followers and reinforce current beliefs. 

Hidden agendas: The true nature of the group's beliefs and plans is obscured from or not fully disclosed to potential recruits and the general public. 

Deceit: Recruits and followers are not told everything they should know about the leader and the group's inner circle, and particularly disconcerting flaws or potentially embarrassing events or circumstances are covered up.

Financial and/or sexual exploitation: Recruits and followers are persuaded to invest money and other assets in the group, and the leader may develop sexual relations with one or more of the followers.

Absolute truth: Belief that the leader and/or the group has discovered final knowledge on any number of subjects.

I know that every characteristic matches the prophets we have, they are called the MIGHTY PROPHETS OF THE LORD. 

It is interesting isn't it? I know that every characteristic matches the prophets we have, they are called the MIGHTY PROPHETS OF THE LORD ,PLANT A SEED ,they exploit their followers by even telling them to send money (310)we see them glorified  to the level of Jesus Christ, becomes they to mimic what the son of man did while he was on earth. 

It is this that I sometimes call the confusions of our times,the era when the sheep getting more and more lost into the den of the enemy because the foxes have devised techniques that completely confuses them.

BIOR AGUEK PAYS GRATITUDE To SPORTS PERSONALITIES In NAKURU CAMPUS

By Brian Ineah Omondi .

Just a day before the 23rd Graduation Ceremony, already a jovial mood was set in Nakuru Campus.
Wednesday 8 October, 2014, is the day a choice to take one of two paths was made by the International Student Affairs Rep: to wait for some special day or to celebrate each special day.
To celebrate a special day it was. Students who took part in the just ended Inter campus games had something to smile despite the fact that Limuru claimed the trophy. New measures are in place, perhaps, this might reverse the situation next round.
To dissect this magnitude, captains from rugby, football, and basketball were present to highlight some of their drawbacks, it emerged that issues such as allocation of allowances to players, participation in major tournaments, proper training by skilled coaches and provision of sport gears and equipments could better address the situation of these sporting activities. The Saturday 27 September games have really been an eye opener to this year's squad, already each team is well composed and well organized.
Nakuru Campus SPUSA leaders were not left out either, led by Samson Kiptum (acting president), Margaret Wangeci (acting chairperson Nakuru Campus) Francis Mburu (Student's Chaplain) and Grace Muiruiri (PR and Communication), promise to work together with the teams to realize more sports personalities in the campus. The matters raised will be facilitated by the acting president.
Later, Bior treated the gathering at Imani Cafe with snacks and hot beverages for a fun-filled moment.
Indeed, At times, our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” Albert Schweitzer —

(Bior Aguek  is a Student leader at St.Paul's University Nakuru Campus Representing International Students.)

 

THE PROPHET AWOUR WOMEN AND THEIR NUISANCES .

I really don't know whether to laugh or sympathize with Prophet Awour Women in this scenario .This afternoon I left the  village for Nakuru which I usually use  PSV because I have not owned a locomotive apart from the one wheeled wheelbarrow at home.

Matatus today seem to have gone on  a strike or just a day when the road is dry.Normally when this case prevails  I decide to flag down any locomotive that is going in my direction. After a couple of unsuccessful flag downs one Toyota NZE finally pulled over, I ran after it with my small bag .

"Helo Sir, Iam heading to Nakuru would you kindly accomonate me?"
sure, kindly come inn" replied the driver who was all alone.
Buy the time I had taken the front sit there was a crowd of women who were also asking for transportation.

" They are going to Nakuru and this lady is heading to Nairobi " explained the tout who was definitely going to get something in return.

"I will only take one and that will be the one going to Nakuru" said the Driver.
After the tout pleaded  with the  driver finally the two Nakuru bound women were allowed inn.

"Aleluyah ooooh I said it! Oooooh I said it!, I told you we Will be provided with !a private car for us only to Nakuru " one of the women told the other in excitement.

What was going through my mind was "really so how did it become your car? " ah! finally we arrived safely in Nakuru and that  is where  the drama between the real owner of the Car and the car temporary owners.

"How much will you take from us? " one of the woman asked in Nandi.


"Seven hundred each "replied the while standing at the rear left door stretching his hands for the pay.

Ndugu tuanomba tafathali hiyo ni pesa mingi sana" pleaded the women.
"So you think from were I picked you to this place is how much?" The driver asked with a harsh voice.

"Mama harakaisha nimesimama mahali mbaya" he continued.

At that moment I realized the guy was up to something especially the hiking of the fare which usually is kshs 300 on a matatu and 400 pn a personal car. I decided to go mute as I enjoy the drama.


You know that look you give when you are shocked like, what the hell is this!I believe the shock the other woman expressed was just enough to tell you she was not going to part with her money simply because it was their Car.

"Hapana hapana najua hii gari ni yetu, tulipewa itulete hapa, mimi ndugu nahamini unafanya makosa " the defiant woman told the driver.

I was laughing profusely in  the inside, so now this guy was risking losing is KBZ to the women. That is how it looked like but on the other hand the guy seem to have prepared well for ther nuisances. So he demanded that they pay.

"Mama sitaki ujinga yenu,Lipa gari, sutaki ubishi wenu sasa" the driver told the women.
After a 10 minutes pull and push the women finally paid the guy, ksh  700 each and finally he  breathed a sigh of relieve.

The women were not going to leave without making their statement. They came close to the window and promised the guy that he will be cursed. That now is what I call stupidity, you administer a curse to a guy who is blessed already. Aaaah that was   utter nonsense.

I was was to alight about a kilometer from the point of the drama. I decided to break my silence and ask the Dude the reason why he was so hard on the women of God.

"Women of God my foot" he replied with arrogance.
Those are stupid psychopaths who deserved what I did to them. He continue.

I really can't understand why such a humble guy from his looks would bare hatred like that, my alighting point was approaching and I was expecting him to give me another harsh treatment.

"Nashuka hapa Pilot " I reminded my guy who was furious still with the women.

"Sasa wewe utachukuwa ngapi?"I asked him while reaching for my wallet.
"Wewe nipe mia nne " he replied.
I had a 500 hundred note on my right hand already  which I gave him. He gave me my 100 bob change .

"Thank you a lot " I told him as I opened the door .

"Karibu" he replied with a smile.

Closed  the door and the Dude drove  off. As I stood for  a moment waiting to cross to the other side of the   road I was still not able to comprehend the treatment the guy gave me and that he gave to the women.

One question still hovers over my mind, and that question is what might have caused such a blessed guy to bare hatred to poor women who had decided to leave the village for prayers?

My simple answer is -It is because of their nuisances.

WHY YOU SHOULD FORGIVE KALONZO MUSYOKA

This morning I happened to watch  part of the Cord's press briefing  that I have  come to  learn that Kalonzo Musyoka messed himself and the Coalition of Reforms and Democracy big time .

There is  something I was able to grasp from Kalonzo for the few minutes I paid attention to his press  briefing.  Hon Kalonzo is a Bitter man, his speech depicted a wounded man, a man so painful  about  something. I first thought  his mood was as a result of the massacre happening in South Sudan.

Now I have read many updates condemning the former V.p  calling him names and others proving that he is indeed a  water Melon.

For me I think forgiving Kalonzo is in order,I would beg for his forgiveness for reasons you will  understand .

Please forgive Kalonzo ,what you witnessed today  is the results of harbouring #hatred to the people who brought down his  political career . Forgive Kalonzo for he his #human, human beings can never be 100% emotionally intelligent .

Forgive Kalonzo Musyoka for he believes that   there exists
a #tribe in Kenya  called "Tyrany of numbers" a group  he will never share the same platform.
Forgive Kalonzo Musyoka just because #we all make mistakes.

WHO SHOULD WIN THE FIFA BALLON D'OR 2014?

According to the Telegraph.uk  a quick question is asked of Who should win the 2014 Fifa Ballon d'Or? Among the three contestants  by far Christiano Ronaldo has been placed above Messi and Ribery the Barcelona and Bayern Munchen Forwards respectively  with a huge margin of 48.92%. I will definitely be expecting this when the winner is announced later today otherwise if Messi Wins this  one then I will stop watching football.

BEWARE OF THIS TRICK BY CON-ARTISTS.

Thieves must  have devised this trick to make their targets  panic and send money.
Yesterday at about 3 pm I received a call from a colleague who works in Kisumu  asking me to go to Railway police station as his younger Brother was being detained .He told me that a gentleman who identified himself as a police officer had called him telling him that his Brother is in custody for an offence he committed within  the Nakuru CBD, the alleged crime was that his Bro was arrested for urinating in public and when asked to corporate for arrest he went violent injuring one of the officers.

On hearing that my friend panicked knowing how that would mean if indeed his younger Bro would be found guilty of the offence he  pleaded for his brother's sake and promised to do anything.
The caller  must have found my friend calbable answer therefore demanded that he sends them money, they told him they needed kshs 8000.

My friend had 3000 on his Mpesa and due to his freaking out he had within no time send the amount to the guys .To him he thought his Brother would be released but the caller  demanded for the remaining 5000.
That is the moment he realized all is not well especially when he was unable to reach his brother's cellphone that it had remained switched off  for the better part of the evening.

I quickly rushed to Railway Police station to check out on the boy and perhaps see what could be done to save  him from languishing in police cells until the following day when he will be charged in court.

On my  arrival I asked about the boy in the reception and after perusing through the Occurrence Book I couldn't trace his name, it is at that moment that the officer Manning the sentry communicated with his colleagues who where patrolling the the town .He asking them if they had arrested a boy as per my description and all his replies where negative.

That is when I became suspicious and called my friend asking him of the mobile number of the officer he had sent the money. Within no time we had his number and therefore called him.

"Helo Mkubwa mimi ni ndugu ya maabuzu mulie mkamata na naskia munataka ka kitu" I told the man on phone.

"Wewe uko wapi " he asked with a raspy voice.

"Niko hapa karibu round about karubu na fly over " I answered him.

"Sasa fanya hivi, ingia kwa Mpesa hapo na utume hiyo erufu tano, nikipata pesa nakawajilia huyu jamaa " he instructed me.

At this moment I knew they where not police officer and I had two fears to deal with, one is the possibility of the boy having been kidnapped and two the Boy either has been ransacked and wondering in the town.

"Na si munasema muko Railway Police, si nikije uko? " I asked the man.

"Hapana saa hii tuko njiani tunaenda central, unajua Railway hakuna mahali maabusu analala so harrakisha" he replied.

It was now evident that I was talking a to a corn artist  and by the look of things this is something they have perfected.

I immediately called my colleague asking him not to send even one single shilling.I told him to wait until later in the evening if his Bro didn't call home then we will  let the matter be handled by the Police.

By 7 pm yesterday  the Boy had called home informing his Brother that he had arrived safe in College and he had lost his phone and some few items. That definitely completed the theory.

Friends from that incident it is true that the thieves and conmen use phones of their victims to get money from unsuspecting parents and guardians and I therefore advice anyone who may be exposed to an incident like this not to panic and send money. The best way to deal with it  is to seek the  intervention of  the police.

WHY ASBEL KIPROP SHOULD LEARN SOME FEW LESSONS FROM THE LATE SAMUEL WANJIRU.

Of late I have been very keen on one of my Friend and namesake and  it is only a fortnight ago  that news coming from my village indicated that my friend has started Wanjiruing in my local town going from one bar to the other threatening night guards and kicking  any ass he comes across.

I even wonder where he gets the energy to humiliate and disfigure old bones and hard-life-stricken villagers who are simply wasting their lives away in the night cold for their families  to get food on the table.

This one is not coming as a surprise to me and anyone who knows the lavishly living athlete to be having extra energy at night when he is not running .From the look of things this behavior is becoming similar to the one we have heard of  a man who wasted  his life  at an early age for a  simple reason that he couldn't  use his medulla oblongata to his advantage.

I have read this book on Samuel Wanjiru titled "Running on Empty" and I have some few lessons that I want Kiprop and his ilk to learn.

First of all let me recall the last moments of the late Samuel Wanjiru, from the book Wanjiru started drinking  irresponsibly, he changed women like shoes and became so violent. He could carry a gun and at some point he would spoil for a fight, I remember not from the book an incident in Nakuru when Wanjiru beat  the hell out of a petrol station  attendant threatening that he would blow his brains  if he  was not going to serve him.
The police case when he was changed for possessing a gun illegally was one of the the incidences we heard  about a man who brought fame to our mother land.

I can still recall another incident though not very clear in my mind when he ran over a bucket of tomatoes that a woman vendor was selling beside the road   and instead of apologizing to the old mama he went head and insulted her calling  her names ,he even told the helpless mama that he would  buy her a whole plantation of tomatoes.   

  Those are the few incidences and since this my piece is not about Wanjiru but  the lessons I would wish anyone with such character and timidity of going from Bar to Bar beating helpless people and threatening innocent wanainchi then I present  my ten points from the Running on Empty Book as follows.

Lesson 1. Alcohol ,Poor management of one's emotions , unplanned  wealth,immorality  will lead one to his or her early grave.

Lesson 2. lifestyle is not  wealth,Wealth is people and respect is not demanded but earned.

Lesson 3.Fame and Success is not to be used against others, poverty can fight back.

Lesson 4.Your status is not known to everyone, there are those who don't know the meaning of status.

Lesson 5.Women will destroy you if you don't know that there are those who  are after your money.

Lesson 6. Ethical conduct is very important,it is the way society demands of  us.

Lesson 7. One can become a prisoner of his or  her own success.

Lesson 8. One of the main destructive forces in our lives is our ego.

Lesson 9.You cannot borrow your friends brain to use.

Lesson 10. Proverbs 16:18 Pride comes before a fall.
