Semi-Naked Sisters Cause Stir

Quote:

ZHOMBE twin sisters have shocked the community by moving around semi-naked, claiming to be following a religious cult that seeks to "restore" what was practised in the Garden of Eden.

According to ZBC News, the sisters, Memory and Patience Ncube, were members of a group that broke away from the Seventh Day Adventist Church to form a cult in Bulawayo in 2004.

The group members were arrested and spent a month at Khami Prison.

While other members disappeared after the arrest and subsequent incarceration, the twin sisters and their two relatives reappeared in Zhombe to continue with their "religion" in their rural home.

Memory and Patience, who call them-selves King David and King Solomon respectively, have since formed their own sect called the Davidic Kingdom of Eden Sect.

According to villagers interviewed by ZBC News, the twins have divorced their husbands and abandoned their families, claiming they want to concentrate on their religion.

But the community has been stunned by the way they move around doing their chores, clad only in their under-gar- ments.

The twin sisters also move around carrying bags of sand and stones on their backs and five litre containers filled with soil to "show their strength and resilience, as it is considered necessary by their church".

Their shoulders are said to have become dark as a result.

The two, interviewed about their semi-nudity, quoted from the Bible to stress their point on how the world would revert to the Old Testament period towards the coming of Jesus.

The women's father, Kraalhead Ndlabambi, long ex-communicated from the Seventh Day Adventist Church, was shocked and speechless.

But he has formed his own church, the Seventh Day Adventist branch, insisting no one can claim sole rights to the name.

Meanwhile, the Zhombe community which referred to the twins as "angels" expressed dismay at their behaviour.

They said although they have tried to help the women, their efforts have been in vain, for even when traditional leaders apprehended them and tied them up,they still returned to their ways.

The area chief has also condemned the women's actions, blaming them for last season's poor yields.

The twins' weird behaviour follows an incident in January 2006 when police in Harare arrested two identical twin brothers, Tafadzwa and Tapuwanashe Fichani who went around Mt Pleasant wearing kilts covering only their private parts.

Although the Fichani twins were initially fined and released after paying an admission of guilty of $25 000 each, they were re-arrested for indecent exposure for their nakedness.

The "terrible twins" later appeared in court and sent for mental checks before they were convicted on their own plea and fined $300 000 each or five days in prison.

Well, I hope their names are off the books.

Why underwear? PJs would be so much more classy.

Looks like those GC lawyers have someone new in their target.

I understand that. Some pretty women walk around in their underwear and no one wants to work. I have that problem on construction sites when pretty women walk by fully clothed.

Well at least they are not gay. Two naked lesbians walking around would probably cause traffic jams in addition to distracting all the field hands.

There are all kinds of Seventh day Adventists .... but this takes the cake. And no I would not approve of them popping out of the cake in their underwear.

Speaking of gays, it has been my observation that lesbians are so by choice, but gay men are not so by choice.

Don't tell me you couldn't read the humor in my comment? Of course, it would have been funnier coming from you. I don't think it was an insult to gays as much as ribbing the stiff and oh-so serious judgmental type.

[phkrause]

I didn't get the humor in that either, but I guess if you think that was funny, than I guess we need to agree with you.

I was trying to make fun of judgmental church members that tend to be a bit too superficial. They miss the forest for the trees. They would look at these naked sisters and just see nudity and not see the underlying problem causing the behavior.

[phkrause]

OK, thanks for the explanation Shane, I can except that.

Well, according to David Letterman, if you have to explain a joke it wasn't a very good one.

1) Them girls ain't right. You heard it here first.

2) Dgrimm, "Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body." Some sins do a lot more damage than others. Homosexuality is a sin against Heaven, and against Nature (earth).

It's a choice with many of both genders. Many others, though, do feel they were "born that way."

But the point is that God is able to help people overcome even hereditary problems and weaknesses. God has promised to help everyone obey Him, and He does fulfill His promises about this.
