Those islanders are well known for killing outsiders. At least they didn't eat him. I have a reputation for killing Jehovah's Witnesses - by boring them to death. It's their fault - they introduce themselves by asking if I would like to discuss religion for a few minutes - so I do. I like that. It's like when my mum used to get 'cold calls' (phone sales) and kept them chatting for as long as possible, looking at the clock, and winking at me with a thumbs-up gesture. |

No, I don't eat them either. Perhaps they are more to Mrs Tabby's taste. That's okay then, every man is murdered on an island somewhere in India. |

There must be a Jim joke there somewhere about people living on the Isle of Man. Until then you can make do with this. The man beside the caravan is Ellis, no doubt about it. |

Chau repeatedly tried to contact the tribespeople and managed to reach the island the day before he was killed. He tried to offer gifts of fish and a football, he wrote in his diary.
“I heard the whoops and shouts from the hunt,” Chau wrote in an entry that was given to several media outlets by his mother. “I made sure to stay out of arrow range, but unfortunately that meant I was also out of good hearing range.
“So I got a little closer as they (about six from what I could see) yelled at me, I tried to parrot their words back to them. They burst out laughing most of the time, so they probably were saying bad words or insulting me.
“I hollered: ‘My name is John, I love you and Jesus loves you.’ I regret I began to panic slightly as I saw them string arrows in their bows. I picked up the fish and threw it towards them. They kept coming.
“I paddled like I never have in my life back to the boat. I felt some fear but mainly was disappointed. They didn’t accept me right away.”
One of the tribespeople – “a kid probably about 10 or so years old, maybe a teenager” – fired an arrow that struck his Bible, he wrote that night, onboard the boat of fishermen he paid 25,000 rupees (£275) to smuggle him close to the island. “Well, I’ve been shot by the Sentinelese.”
The next day as he prepared to make another approach, Chau wrote a letter to his parents. “You guys might think I’m crazy in all this, but I think it’s worth it to declare Jesus to these people,” he wrote.
“Please do not be angry at them or at God if I get killed. Rather, please live your lives in obedience to whatever he has called you to and I’ll see you again when you pass through the veil.
“This is not a pointless thing. The eternal lives of this tribe is at hand and I can’t wait to see them around the throne of God worshipping in their own language, as Revelations 7:9-10 states.”

Perhaps copies of Playboy and Readers' Wives would have been better gifts.

Over the centuries missionaries of many faiths have done terrible harm to isolated peoples in order to "save" them

Well I guess the idea is by killing them it allows them to meet Jesus sooner.

Did you hear the one about the bishop and the lady learner driver who arrived simultaneously at the Pearly Gates?
St. Peter came out and invited the lady driver in, in front of the bishop. ‘Oh no,’ said the bishop, you can’t let her in before me.’ ‘My good man.’ St. Peter replied, ‘she’s put the fear of God into many more people than you ever did’.

If Britain had not been a Christian country for the past 1600 years, things may very well have taken another direction. Not to mention there'd be no church bell ringing, which I'm very fond of. |

I think you hit the nail on the head patty earlier with your mental health comment. It seems entirely probable that the geyser was suicidal and religious (bad combination) and was in a position to cause someone else to end his own life in a relatively unusual way. Probably better than walking into the path of a fast train - specially if you are religious. Some people do "suicide by cop" by forcing armed police to shoot them. Maybe he was just doing "suicide by tribal person". I guess if this is what he was seeking (to die) then he accomplished his mission not that the way he did it will make any difference other than his name being publicised. |
