4462 The Other Side 431
Hua Jin did not expect such a thing to happen in this peaceful era. He did not expect that this world was not as harmonious as he had imagined. He had always lived in a peaceful country. It was hard to imagine such a cruel thing.
Now, this tragic scene was playing out in front of him. Perhaps it was because the smell of gasoline on his body was too pungent, but he suddenly felt nauseous.
“Ugh…” He almost vomited and felt extremely uncomfortable. He struggled for a while, but his hands were tightly bound and he could not move.
From the side, a believer walked over with a torch. At the same time, the enthusiasm of the believers in the square grew.
“Long live the Holy Son! Long live the Sacred Temple!”
“Lord Jim will live forever!”
…
It was like the last revel before death. Hua Jin did not know if it was the sorrow of these believers or the sorrow of this world.
It was said that the reason why this group of believers became Jim’s fans and supported the Sacred Temple so much was because they thought that the Sacred Temple had given them the last pure land.
Most of these believers were refugees from warring countries. Some were even civilians from developed countries. Some of them were old people who had experienced world wars, while others had gone through the global financial crisis and came out of it bankrupt.
The original intention of the church was to oppose racial discrimination. Jim was enthusiastic about helping the poor, but he was rejected by some stubborn conservatives in the church. Hence Jim was determined to build his own church, a truly free and equal holy church for all, a church that even blacks could enter.
In the beginning, when racial discrimination was intensifying, many black people worshipped him as Jesus Christ. He went door to door to collect donations and sell small animals. Finally, he raised funds and founded the church. They set up free canteens, day nurseries, elderly clinics and other social services.
However, as it evolved, the Church of the Divine Temple increasingly deviated from traditional Christianity and its doctrine gradually became distorted.
Later, Jim moved the core denominations of the faithful to Siana in East Africa, where he promised the faithful that it would be a tropical paradise free of the evils of the outside world.
Most of the core believers followed him to Siana, where they were forced to follow Jim’s instructions, and together they founded the Sacred Temple.
All the believers lived a life of commune in the Sacred Temple, isolated from the outside world. They were extremely poor, without any private property, without any personal life or space for thought, and closely monitored by Jim’s armed guards. Any believer who tried to claim personal freedom, such as a relationship without Jim’s approval, would be severely punished.
If believers were found to be apostate, they would be punished by torture or even death. They did not even know that the outside world was not the Armageddon that they had imagined.
Jim, on the other hand, lived a life of unfettered rights and privileges: he owned the fruits of his followers’ labors, lived in luxurious rooms with all the modern equipment, and could have sex with any man or woman at will.
Believers were required to worship the Teacher Jim with unlimited devotion and absolute obedience. They practised self- and mutual- criticism every day according to Jim’s teachings; when men and women have sex with him, they share their good experiences and happiness with each other.
