Some of the things our brothers and sisters in other nations endure for the name of Jesus, I find unbelievable. This is one story that is not only unsettling, but sadly is not all too uncommon.
Compass Direct is reporting that a Christian who was showing a film about Jesus Christ, has been sentenced to prison for "attempting to promote civil unrest". They could not PROVE he was actually promoting civil unrest so they charged him with ATTEMPTING to. Unbelievable.
Gurung was also charged with violation of the Bhutan Information, Communication and Media Act of 2006. Sections 105(1) and 110 of this law require that authorities examine all films before public screening.
The Compass Direct article goes on to report regarding the conflict between Buddhism and Christianity in Bhutan that...
These Christians are a cancer to our society,” wrote a reader identifying himself as The Last Dragon. “They had crusades after crusades – we don’t need that. We are very happy with Buddhism. Once Christianity is perfect – as they always claim [it] to be, then let’s see.”
Please remember the Christians in Bhutan in your prayers.
