beefface Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Does anyone know anything about this strange 'pseudo religious' cult/organisation based on South Rd, Walkley? I found them by accident on the internet, they appear also to have a sub group called 'The Sons of Amos Brierley' (crazy name, crazy guys!) and apparently worship at 'sacred' sights around the Sheffield area, is it just one big p*** take?

splodgeyAl Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 With religious sites, it is almost impossible to differentiate the genuine and the surreal. I mean vatican.va still basically says that anyone who disagrees with them should be killed as a heretic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think its a parody, there's pages upon pages of unfathomably bizarre text on the links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frededwards Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 It's clearly all nonsense. Why can't people follow religions that believe in sensible things? Such as: A garden with two people in, who are the antecedents of all humanity. A talking snake. A bad storm and a really big boat with lots of animals. A bloke who could part the sea with a stick. A virgin giving birth to a baby in a stable. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I don't think its a parody, there's pages upon pages of unfathomably bizarre text on the links. Patrick Wood is one of those into occult, astral planes, majick and all that sort of stuff. There is a world of similar folk out there and he is one that writes stuff and publishes stories as well as establishing "The Cross of Light Temple" which may well be virtual as opposed to an actual group of 'worshippers'. The Sons of Amos Brearley is just one of his books ... a story based around a fictional "lodge" or "temple" (as in masonry) of that name. http://www.sheffieldtelegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/magickal_journey_1_441242 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NakatomiNick Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Hi Beef. There a bunch of misfits who hang around with each other talking Jesus and stuff. I feel sorry for anyone who has to turn to any form of religion, be it a good one or a bad one because they are too weak to deal with everyday situations by themselves. Hope this helps.
