Nude Sect do NOT want to clone people: Priest protests against mediacoverage!
SWEDEN, November 1997:
 |
enny Stolpe (previously known as
Kenny Lindqvist), priest and leader of the swedish branch of the raëlians,
has issued a statement protesting some of the things which has been said
about the sect in swedish media recently. |
He opposes to the use of the words "nudesect" as he claimes to be very
misleading. "The Raelian movement, of which I am nationally responsible,
apart from being a priest whithin, is a religious minority with a total
openness. Anybody can leave or join the movement at any time. There is
no use of brainwash whatsoever. On the contrary the movement supports
critical and independent thinking. "Sects" is a word associated with closed
societys. According to the UN and "the International Assosiation for the
Defence of the religious freedom", the media should try to avoid souch a
word and use "new religious minority". Use of the word "nudesect" have to do
with the openminded way we look upon sexuality. For instance, we respect
homosexuality. Many previous religious movements has made people feel shame
over their sexuality and their bodys. The Raelian movement do not believe
in either a soul nor God. Our conciousness and our feelings is closely
connected to our bodys and if somebody is ashamed of his body and his
sexuality, this will also affect the psyche in a negative way. This is why
a lot of people were abandoning their clothes during the two-week camp/seminar
referred to in a lot of articles. That "used condoms" was spread all over
the place is wrong according to several persons I've talked to, who were
precent at the seminar. Sex is not looked upon as something negative
among the realians, and I have a great difficulty seing something wrong in
people having sex. These articles gives You the impression that people were
indulged in orgys all over the place, which is not true. The participants
were doing this in their tents or in other secluded spots, much like any
rockfestival but with the difference that realians never use drugs or get
drunk and therefore are always concious about and take responsobility for
their actions.
It is not the realian movement that wants to clone people, but a totally independent
company, - founded thogh by the same person who founded the Raelian movement: Rael.
The Raelian movement is a non-profit organisation where nobody gets payed
for their work within it.
Using the word leader about me is also wrong, since You're told to follow your
own will in the Raelian movement.", sais Kenny Stolpe in his statement.
