Vietnam Tries to Portray Cult Gathering as Christian
The government tried to portray several thousand Hmong followers of a sub-Christian messianic cult as orthodox Christians while the military forcibly disbanded their gathering Thursday and Friday.
The cult members recruited from orthodox Christian groups – vulnerable to false teaching in a country where Christians cannot print their own Bibles and are subject to other restrictions – had gathered for religious reasons in Muong Nhe district, Dien Bien Province, but it turned into a confrontation before local defense forces disbanded them, bolstered by Vietnam People’s Army reinforcements hastily dropped in by helicopters.
Sources in Muong Nhe told Compass that several thousand Hmong who had initially gathered to wait for the ushering in of a new Hmong kingdom had been sent or taken back to their home areas, but that some 3,000 remained. A source said that about 50 Hmong followers, including the...
Well, that was confusing, NT! You assume perhaps the U.S. is a Christian nation?

Some poor ones coming on slave ships as political prisoners and others hoping to find a better country, all the while trying to maintain what had been attained but was being lost after the 'glorious revolution' that proved more like Constantine's reign then for the advancement of truth.

Ronald Reagan wrote: To those who cite the first amendment as reason for excluding God from more and more of our institutions and everyday life, may I just say: The first amendment of the Constitution was not written to protect the people of this country from religious values; it was written to protect religious values from government tyranny.
