Missionary or Mafia? Two People Arrested for Forced Conversion in Karnataka

The Pro Hindu outfits in Karnataka have arrested two women at Herga in Parkala here on Monday December 12th, 2016, for forcefully trying to convert some people to a Christian denomination.

These women are reported to be named as Seneta of Perampalli and Soumya from Mission Compound, Udupi. It is being reported that these two women had been going from one door to another and distributing religious pamphlets to people in this particular area for the past one week now. They had also been collecting people’s addresses, mobile phone numbers, and other contact and personal details of these people.

On the receipt of the information, these pro Hindu outfits had confronted these women and later handed them over to the Manipal police. The women are said to belong to a committee propagandas been registered in the said police station.

What is the Jehova’s Witnesses Programme?

It is a fundamentalist evangelical Christian denomination based in New York, USA. Some of their core beliefs are –

1. They worship the ‘one true and Almighty God’, the Creator, who is said to have the name Jehovah.
2. They do not believe in the trinity doctrine or the cross or any other images.
3. They believe that there is a real government known as ‘Kingdom of God’ in heaven, which will replace human governments and accomplish God’s purpose for the earth. It will take these actions soon, for the Bible says that we are living in “the last days.”
4. Deliverance from sin and death is possible only through the ‘ransom sacrifice of Jesus’. Salvation is something that cannot be earned.

The ironic part is that these sects consider themselves ‘peaceful’, while denigrating and dismissing Hindu and other Dharmic beliefs, practices.
