ANOTHER ONE

Hey uh... 9:22 that's Malaysian flag not American. Is that on purpose or your editor kinda messed up?

1:04 "Because the last time he came over, some very unchill things happened." Can you tell me more about this? I tried googling about it but could find nothing. I assume this involves Portuguese missionaries.

Im addicted to your content.

what's the Beat Takeshi Kitano movie adaptation called?

thank you, i forgot that word i was thinking about a monastery, that was an awesome and wholesome story about a man that converted to Catholicism and made a nunnery. why a nunnery is a good question. he didint do anything bad so it doesnt matter

So, the pipeline from cult to catholicism is very very short

@@patricioacuna1688 Actually, was this guy Catholic? It sounds like he started his own thing because he was anti-clerical. Sounds kind of Protestant to me, like he didn't want to be under the authority of a church, so he started his own.

@@fujifilm5127theres like a billion things this is close to, not just catholicism

@@douglassun8456said Catholicism because they were the crazy bunch who entered with a bible first. His ways were more like jesuits and even yeah Protestants . It’s kinda a fascinating development in the modern world

Yeah, especially when you compare it to other cults after this. I mean, Aum Shinrikyo began not a decade later.

It is kind of absurd but in a good way.

Because it was centered around the Truth of Christ. And not the Perversion if his Word for narcissistic gain

They are everywhere, but nice, quiet, chill things don't tend to get much attention.

Yeah. After seeing Pana Wave and Aum Shinrikyo, Jesus' Ark was honestly a breath of fresh air

I don’t think they’re an ex member, it sounds like they’ve left the nunnery but still go to the church it’s part of.

I think it's logical that the ones that married have to leave the commune. They surely want to stay with their husband. But staying in the commune is just an added risk to others. Making them stay outside but still able to join the activities seems great

@@elif6908 I think they simply just mean an ex-member of the commune.

@@kikilala9371 Plus how would you have relations with your spouse if you're in a building with a bunch of other people; it wouldn't be possible

Also, they're not actively recruiting. That to me says that they're not that interested in continuing the group beyond the founding generation, which is somewhat of a green flag.

He never claimed to be Jesus media named him Jesus

@@motherisapeI know. I never said he claimed to be Jesus .

i always say if another jesus figure were to rise up he would be arrested

Yeah I was thimking the same thing.

Sad, tbh

Vastly underreported.

Top J

Chads gonna Chad

how does nobody even think about why he only recruited young attractive women? because i kinda call bullshit on their claims.

@@dialectiks You can call it being crappy on your conclusions, they are runaway girls dawg.

Yet the amount of Japanese females praised him 🥲

"Gggggrrrrr! The media betrayed usssss!"

Understanding what those pressures are explains why it was such a concern. They were bucking tradition and that's not really cool in Japan.

Thought it was going to be mass suicide, wholesome it wasnt

Best comment ever😂

To be a door-to-door salesman you need to have really good levels of charisma.

L ron hubbard. Founder of Scientology was a taxi driver

Yeah dude I fuckin love this story. It’s absurd

You said "rizz", you breath thru the mouth 24/7

It's not a cult just a commune. A cult uses excessive brainwashing tactics (see the BITE model). The point is debate is where the line of "excessive" is because lots of normal things use brainwashing, we intentionally use brainwashing on ourselves even

Wouldn't call it wholesome, but it's a breath a fresh air

A bunch of (basically) nuns running a G-rated cabaret club? That's pretty damn wholesome.

@@jasonblalock4429nuns who’s habits are literally regular clothes. Lmao

Now that you mention it, this does sound like something straight out of a yakuza substory, the substory start music is already playing in my head now.

It does it's just hard to find

I think that these type of stories are often lost due change in the current culture , and the only stories that remain are often the only with extremist views

They exist today, they just practice what they preach and do not force their religion on others. That’s why you never hear about them.

there exists many, but the only ones you see on the news are the extreme ones

They do. I had a girlfriend whose dad was in one of those cults. They just take your money and have you live in a compound. Not good people.

XD

Thank you for also saying this here, makes me proud seeing more people mention it than I expected!

YEAH LONG LIVE THE GLORIOUS STRIPES

Meraysia!

TANAH TUMPAH AIRKU 🗣️🗣️🗣️ WTF IS A JHO LOW

@@hironyx kwantan ga ii

glad i wasnt the only one lmao.

I was just thinking that. 😅

isn't TBS a cable provider? This sounds curious, maybe I'll dig with my limited Japanese and find out hah

looking in skin deep it's the famous オウム真理教　（Aumu Shinrikyou) cult gas attacks using Sarin Gas. Edit: badly misspelled the cult's name in English

In the US TBS is Turner Broadcasting Systems In Japan it's Tokyo Broadcasting Two different companies, alike in acronym...

Wait, is this the specific case where TBS leaked a lawyer's expose on Asahara and a blood test that led to his family being killed?

Really? I enjoyed their drama a lot 😂 Now I’m watching 仁医

Who'd join a Bible study by a tent merchant?

He mentioned knife salesman, and I was thinking "oh crap. Where is this going?" Glad it didn't really go anywhere.

Out of curiosity, I must ask why?

Jesus was a carpenter, perhaps craftmen feel some sort of kinship.

what are u yapping about snack bars for

​@@mosthxtedchinoI believe that would mean that the daughters of Zion snack bar is more tame compared to most snack bars where hostesses and hosts drink more alcohol and have more skinship as well as "other stuff"

I think what was described is not a good description of "snacks." They're just bars. You go there, you get your drinks (the ones I went to were flat rate, rather than pay per drink), there might be karaoke, and you get a little basket of snacks while you're drinking. It's really not a hostess bar situation. I'd also been to at least one of those, and it's far different than a "snack."

Mormon-kun... All I can think of is a Mormon version of Pichonkun from Daikin 🤣😭

イエス・キリストの墓って青森にあるって本当ですか？

​@@ZharRebirth it is almost certainly not really his grave

@@1001011011010 If it was that would be pretty cool though

Don't forget Jesus' brother who started a huge civil war in China in the 1850s that killed 30 million people. That's around the the entire population of the US at the beginning of the US Civil War.

Unfortunately, alot of patriarchy, redpill, misogynists, racist, and neo nationalists conservatives and western (including eastern) men refused to do that because they still have the Us VS Them mindset mentality

Jesus did establish a Church to help people be guided on earth, but yes I get what you mean.

@@robertortiz-wilson1588 Jesus established a “CONGREGATION" of “PEOPLE" that followed his instructions. His disciples, not a traditional Church.

@@kelechi_77 That means the same thing.

I mean, it was accurate to what Jesus did in his lifetime on earth. He never established any structure other than having disciples. A church is not a building or an organisation, it's the people. Funnily enough, the reason Protestants exist was because they didn't agree with the established church structure, something that is very close to the current Catholic Church structure. It's been a long, long time since I heard a story of someone actually following the Bible and not nitpicking verses to satisfy their own earthly desire. Admirable, really, that Sengoku guy. What a man.

I mean, they are a cult. It's a defection from traditional religion. Zen Buddhism is a cult. I think half of the different Christian sects out there are technically cults. They're just not a problematic cult.

It’s literally a cult though. Like the actual textbook definition of cult. Just because it’s good doesn’t mean it’s not a cult.

I wonder if that was typical of women's speech patterns in that time period, or just a really excessive use. Love the counter either way!

​@@ShiroiSenritsu I'm still learning Japanese, but I wonder if it has to do with the context of them explaining to the public and dispelling lies, like adding a lot of "you see"s in hopes that the public will realize the situation was different

I had to go back to check it! I didn't notice it! hahaha

@@higanbana6296 "ne" is similar to "you see", "you know", "right?" etc, those kind of expressions that ask some sort of confirmation from the listener.

@@jossdeibossI take it Japanese is one of those languages where you repeat things to strengthen what you're saying, is it?

When the media guy wish to be detective novel writer

So his family didn't even bother suing them for defamation?

Ok, now i'm applying to them!

lol you aren't heard of Aum Shinrykyo, have ya? it's just that this 'cult' was nothing more than a John Lennon type dude who helped emancipate women in a culture where they were treated as commodities and property of their husbands or fathers, and so was smeared and targeted by the right-wing one-party dictatorship that is the Japanese state

Wouldn't call it completely innocent, since the g*rls still felt compelled to leave and not have normal lives. It's still a bit sad/creepy.

There's a clear reason why people like you to be called as weeaboo. You just can't see the flip side of it. I like the fact that the commune is voluntarily gathered, and has a full freedom to leave, but they still have to work as a "hostess". No matter how you call it, that's not innocent.

Holy rizz

In aspiring for rizz, you have already failed.

​@@xxJacket God gifted him with the rizz and I seek to gain such thing

“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first" most likely became the group's most studied quote

Well said...

He did mention he was charismatic specifically towards women and given his very anti-Clerical and Aesthetic lifestyle, it checks out given how Christianity Functions and thrive in less Hierarchal and very Communal Environment attracts women more than men.

The guy basically created a nunnery. There's some people out there that adapt to discrete lifestyles better than others, and knowing how in Japan you either live in a massive metropolis where everyone is a stranger, or a small town with nothing to do, such a change fills a niche. I'm in fact rather surprised that this hasn't happened more times taking into account their current social issues

You really didn't listen to the story. He started as a knife salesmen when he began the cult. From what we can speculate he joined those two activities. While selling knifes he would probably mention bible study. Assuming he did it in usual working hours, he would meet more women in general at the houses (door to door sales). People who join those kind of organisations usually feel unfulfilled in life, often having different value system than other people. To be attracted to bible study you either need to be curious or have some kind of non-materialistic approach. So you either are going to a place that you are more likely to find likeminded people or you are going out of curiosity to a place where people treat you nice. You become friends, get attached to people and slowly you create community. As for parent, they were as much as likable characters as anyone who goes day after day to a place screaming and banging on metal doors, demanding release of their children. Which would made girls reluctant to leave and paint parents as a bit on a crazy side. As for all female. In the video there was mention that over the time they become only female commute. That, as well as mention of marriages, would mean men were also members. As for disproportion between those two groups, it's actually pretty common that religious organisations are dominated by female believers. As for not having kids. In one of frames in the video you have mention of his daughter.

@@botbotowski9824 Yes, and it mentions that his daughter left the commune to get married.

@@botbotowski9824 You also make a good point that if he was a successful door-to-door salesman he must have related well to women and felt comfortable talking to them in a persuasive way without there being anything sexual about it.

If you trust your own personal interpretations of scripture to be without flaw, you are a protestant. The ancient churches all believe that Christ knew humans were subject to flaw, and so instead of leaving us to the wolves he instituted church authority by leaving a church and appointing a head. Hierarchy on earth as in Heaven. Which of the 40k+ prot denominations you allign with is idk, but I'm willing bet it's either evangelical or baptist as the typical non-denominational church's theology usually matches one of those two man made religions protesting Christ's church. P.S I'm also glad it didn't end that way.

@@justwannagrill8548 "If you trust your own personal interpretations of scripture to be without flaw, you are a protestant" Nah. The protestant church started with Martin Luther and them. They wanted to "reform" the Catholic Church and not get rid of it altogether. I know enough about both of those churches histories to know the evil that both of them did. I follow Christ and the apostles' teachings. I am simply a Christian. I am a disciple of Christ. I follow Christ. Both the Catholic and the Protestant churches put traditions of men above the Scriptures. There is no mention of neither Catholics nor Protestants in the Scriptures, so I do not care for either one. Even before the Catholic Church which came almost a century and a half after the time of the apostles, all the 66 books of the Scriptures were already in circulation and the disciples met from house to house and in public places.

do you still congregate with other christians? just not in a catholic, protestant, or orthodox church?

@@andei_ As a Christian, we follow Jesus Christ, not religion. I am glad that you also see it that way, since religions are often used for power and politics (they basically use God's name for their own purposes, which is not good).

As opposed to figuratively love?
