Kabbalah is not a faith as such, just a mish/mash of quasi-mystical mumbo-jumbo rather like Scientology designed to separate folk with little sense but who should know better from their moolah (or in this case shekels).

Kabbalah is all about being nice isn't it? I remember when Elton kept saying all that stuff about her and she would always respond by saying something like 'i'm just sending him lots of love'.

From CDAN:
This A+ list singer is getting paid $2M for a 30 minute concert. One catch. The dictator she is performing for has to either come to the US or meet in a country other than his own. She doesn’t want anyone to know. |

From CDAN:
In an attempt to change the recent narrative about him, this A+ list mostly movie actor who is an Academy Award winner/nominee has his PR team sending out several story ides daily to the tabloids in hopes they will reprint them and start talking about the wonderful guy he wants people to believe he is. |

What recent narrative does he have? He's been pretty quiet the last few years. Besides, all his bad press is tied up into a old issue, his "religion"

Coming to the US would be out of the question for him and not exactly discreet for her. Could be the leader from Havana now there's better relations. Singer might be Hispanic.
The singer could be from the Caribbean

Hasn't got that kind of money - Eastern European more likely. Mimi has form for this kind of thing.

None there any more. Found a handy list on Wikipedia. As you'll see, all but two or three current ones are African and some aren't that well known and wouldn't cause a massive stir going to America.

That list is only of long running leaders - the dictator Million Dollar Baby got into trouble partying with isn't on that list who is probably a strong candidate for this.

BIB Doesn't that apply to all religions? The Pope doesn't live in a bedsit, for example.
Others, like Scientology (who would, of course, disagree and have gone to the High Court about it and - incredibly - got themselves officially recognised as 'a religion') are, to my mind, out and out shysters fleecing the gullible of their money. And I include the Kabbalah (as opposed to the Jewish mystic bunch) in that group. But I admit it does get very difficult not being totally cynical about the institutions which make up our faiths (though I happily admit that having a faith - I don't - can and does bring a great deal of succour and comfort to a great many, whether the old, the sick, the very unhappy and others, so I never play the evangelical atheist with them). I was born and brought up an RC (a so-called 'cradle Catholic) and my proviso notwithstanding that there are many wholly sincere RCs and priests, I find aspects of the RC church despicable beyond belief. I visited Rome several times and once visited the Vatican and the sheer opulence of the place - and I am not exaggerating - made me feel physically sick, especially as it is all supposedly intended for 'the glorification of God'. And if you know about the development of the Christian faith from the first century on, you will find it hard to disagree that the 'Roman' Christian church, as opposed to the quite a few other Christian church has over the centuries behaved as badly if not worse than many a modern monster corporation. It was not the first of the Christian churches, but initially gained prominence over others merely because it was based in Rome, then still the centre of the powerful Roman empire. It proceeded to bulldoze itself to pre-eminence, often by the simple expedient of declaring other strands of faith which it regarded as rivals as more or less heretical and ruthlessly enforcing that judgment. (Here in Britain it was, for example, alarmed by the indigenous Celtic Christian church which had a far more egalitarian attitude and did not, as the RC church did, believe in a hierarchy of power. So at the Synod of Whitby it asserted its power and sidelined the Celtic Christians.) There are Christian churches older than the Roman Christian church but none as widespread or powerful. There are the various Orthodox Christian churches, the Eastern Christian Churches and, of course the Lutherans and other 'protestant' churches. But none, as far as I know, is a ruthless as the RC church in protecting itself. However, you could well argue that the RC is slowly coming to the end of its days after centuries of almost unrivaled power: its Prince bishops and popes were, until the 18th century, arguably even more powerful than secular royalty because of the stranglehold the faith had on members of the church. The thought of 'dying in sin', being 'excommunicated', and 'going to Hell' were utterly terrifying for believers who would do anything to escape that (including buying 'indulgences' sold for a handsome profit by clergy which purported to shorten your time in purgatory, a kind of holding camp for those on their way to Heaven). To be fair, the current pope, Francis I think he's called, is not half as bad as his immediate predecessors but he is up against vested interests in the Vatican so strong he is certain not to prevail in cleaning out the stables. Sorry this is so long. I was trying to establish a point. |
