Weird flow exist in various parts of the world. In Japan, strange seven or heretical seven quite a lot. Some even commit violence and cause death, such as Aum Shinrikyo.
As mentioned detikINET From Listsverse, here are 5 schools in Japan with weird teachings that make you shake your head:
Gerakan Yamagishi
Chicken farmer Miyozo Yamagishi formed a group of rural communities in 1952 to accommodate those who felt alienated by Japan’s industrialization. Since then, the group has thousands of followers in Japan and around the world.
Its members live together in small communities. They make ends meet by selling vegetables and livestock products. All objects are shared property. Former members of this group said people who wanted to join were asked to donate all of their belongings. The leaders then strictly regulated their lives. Meanwhile, children 5 and older are separated to practice independent living.
East Asian Anti-Japanese Armed Front
Leftist students who detest aggression against minorities in Japan and other countries formed this trend in the late 1960s. They argued that before the arrival of the Japanese, the indigenous people of the country lived in harmony with nature.
Between 1974 and 1975, they carried out bomb attacks on industries believed to exploit certain ethnic and other Asian populations. The attack on the Mitsubishi office killed 8 people and injured others. The police disbanded the group and its leaders were sentenced to death or life imprisonment.
Ho No Hana Sampogyo
Better known as the Foot Readers’ School, a figure named Hogen Fukuga in 1980 claimed to be the successor of Jesus and Buddha. He claims to have the power to track disease and see the future, just by looking at a person’s feet. It turned out that many believed at that time – up to tens of thousands of people.
Organize expensive seminars with the promise that the participants will recover from their illness and solve their problems. He received a lot of money from believers. The police then took notice of his rotten practices and Hogen was jailed for 12 years.
