Arms seized in Philippines cult raidHigh-powered weapons were seized from the "Benevolent Christian Missionaries Association" during a raid September 24th in the Philippines, reports the Mindanoa Times.
The raid proceeded without incident. The cult's leader and eight of his followers were taken into custody.
The "Benevolent Christian Missionaries Association" is a splinter group led by "divine master" Thomas Eugenio, that broke away from the larger and more prominent cult known as the Philippine Benevolent Missionaries Association" (PBMA) in the 1970s.
Ruben Ecleo Jr., leader of the PBMA, is now being held on murder charges.
Obviously, there is nothing "benevolent" about these fanatical and violent groups. And their only "missionary" work seems to be the recruitment of a private army.
