RIA Novosti – Russia – World doesn’t end, Russian doomsday sect members to head home
The members of a doomsday sect who quit on Friday the dugout in central Russia where they had been waiting for the end of the world for around six months are to pack their bags and leave for home with the planet still intact.
“Documents are being prepared by immigration officials to allow those [three] sect members who are from Belarus to return to their homeland,” said Alexander Provotorov, the head of the Bekov District in the Penza Region.
“The rest, Russian citizens, also plan to go home. They have all agreed to leave the area voluntarily,” he added, also saying that none of the sect members were from the Penza Region.
The story has gripped Russia since 35 members of the sect went underground in November to wait for the end of the world, which they initially claimed would come in May. The group’s leader, Pyotr Kuznetsov, is reported to have said that they would be given the power to decide who would be sent to hell and who would go to heaven after the Apocalypse. The sect pledged to commit mass suicide if any attempt was made to force them to come to the surface.
Following the collapse of the dugout’s roof after heavy rain in late March, 24 members of the group quit the shelter. It was subsequently revealed that two members of the sect had perished in the dugout, one from malnutrition brought about during fasting, and another from cancer. Both bodies were buried in the shelter.
Well it was the end of the world for a couple of them.

Pucktards !
hmmm so just leave them alone and they go away by themselves. what an novel approach.
Hmm. If the end of the world was coming, what good would it do to be underground? That’s not logical. The world includes “underground”. They should have had Bobbo there as a highly-paid logical advisor.
The article is worth reading. Doesn’t say why the group was underground but did mention their leader was above ground in a sanitarium.
So Mustard (#4)–how does one differentiate between crazy religious doctrines and one’s that should be observed?
Logic?==doesn’t apply.

You don’t think these people were reading from the bible do you?
Just give it some more time. Eventually, they’ll be right (not about judging and all, though).
They had round-trip tickets. D’ya think?
Let’s be clear on this. You don’t get to go unless you drink the kool-aid or have stylish purple trainers.
C’mon, you think we’re fools!?!
