Members of the Aetherius Society from as far afield as Australia and Ghana joined the pilgrimage to the Old Man of Coniston.
They believe the mountain is one of 19 across the world which have been “charged” with spiritual energy by extra-terrestrials from Venus and Mars.
Members of the society say their founder, George King, was able to contact religious figure heads – including Jesus, Buddha and Krishna – who they believe to be aliens. He transmitted the energy from their messages of peace to the mountains in the 1950s.
Society member David Trimble, 70, who was among those who joined the trek, hailed the event as a great success, in spite of difficult weather conditions.
He said: “It was absolutely fantastic. We divided into three prayer teams – one at the bottom, one two thirds of the way up and one right at the top. We prayed for world peace and sent energy out to all the trouble spots of the world including Iraq, Iran and the Sudan.”
According to society members, the 2,635ft Old Man was “charged” by Dr King in December 1958. Since then, it has been a place of biannual pilgrimage for society members, who hope to use the energy to alleviate world suffering.
Mr Trimble, who recently moved from Dalston to Barnsley, added: “These alien beings are trying to help mankind and, in terms of the mountains, we can generate an enormous amount of power. We’ve literally been able to move mountains and stop wars.”
The pilgrimage was led by Mervyn Smith, a former Coniston resident who now lives in London and has climbed the fell more than 500 times before.
At the same time, similar meetings were held at other “charged” mountains around the world.
“Doctor” Ken Blue does not hold an academic doctorate, but merely an honorary doctorate from his alma mater, Midwestern Baptist College. Although he obviously is a candidate for a doctorate in dispensational doubletalk.
Theology
Trust me, FRiends, on this you can rely:
FR has only one religious authority, keeper of the correct interpretations.
INDEED!!
This well-known authority discerns so much about every religion that you can count on this authority to interpret the Holy Bible. I am continually amazed that Christ waited so long to send someone to correctly interpret His Scripture, and yet, so it is.
I’m curious if you’ve ever done a Biblical word study on bitterness or resentment.
Thank you, Lord Jesus, that You have sent someone who can read hearts the way You would, who can discern motives as well as You can, who can understand the reason behind every post as clearly as You can understand them...someone who by virtue of stated age and purported education can apply Your Most Holy Word to each and every sinner here, someone who has, by Your grace, perfected himself to judge us all.
Amen! Imagine a world without folks who can look into your heart.
I imagine the Bell Rock is one of those ‘charged mountains’.
I gather that’s a
“No.”
Now see? It just goes to show how wrong an ordinary fallible human can be, coming to a conclusion like that.
Not that it’s germaine.
You seem to have no faith in the power of the Holy Spirit, but rather, man. Which of course will leave you lacking in such power.
Pity, really. Of course that is entirely the problem. Expecting man instead of God and His Power to intervene.
I’d say that is exactly why the world is in the mess it’s in.
So what was Muhammad, chopped liver?
I never claimed to be infallible . . .
contrary to some blokes.
INDEED.
Actually he was
more into . . . uhhh . . .
chopping livers . . . and heads . . . and hands . . .
Do you also believe in replacement theology?
That’s a good reminder that all of us are human and have limitations.
ALL of us.
INDEED.
Are you talking about punitive, economic, or structural supersessionism?
Did the church replace Israel?
