Interpol’s “Wanted” is People’s Choice Awardee for his Truth Blog

He maybe in the wanted list of The International Criminal Police Organization but he is the People’s choice awardee in the recent 2009 Philippine Web Awards in the blog category. More than that, he is the awardee for the most popular website, besting all others in all categories.

The truth blog of Eliseo Soriano, esoriano.wordpress.com, tackled biblical truth which explains his monicker, Truthcaster. He has a YouTube channel too in this name.

Some people hate Bro. Eli’s big mouth. Some people loathe what he says. Most of all, some people want him dead and would hound him to the ends of this earth to stop him from talking. These days, there is one identified as Conrad J. Obligacion in Topix.net using Soriano’s monicker, Truthcaster, in various websites ironically with the aim of maligning the preacher as far as “editing” Wikipedia with false information.

But Preacher Soriano is not that totally hated; nor his words totally loathed. At the same time that his blogsite won, all his organizational’s affiliates won: the Ang Dating Daan - Bible Exposition Online (organization category), Kaanib.net - Christian Web Newsmagazine (magazines and zines category), UNTV - Your Public Service Channel

How Eliseo Soriano ended up in the Interpol’s wanted list for “sex crimes” is a puzzle to most. Those in the know, however, are not surprised at how far his enemies would go to humiliate him. His identity gets stolen; his biography gets mangled to include lies. His very name is used to counter information about him. However, he has no enemies but false preachers he is trying hard to expose.

About August 19, 2008, a media man named Alfred P. Dalizon, writing in World News Network on Journal online, said that International Evangelist, Bro. Eliseo Soriano, is wanted for rape and that an international warrant of arrest is out for him. The story did not explain how come the Interpol is suddenly in the picture. The offices he mentioned like the Philippine National Police did not even carry a single name.

In order to maintain as politically neutral a role as possible, Interpol’s constitution forbids its involvement in crimes that do not overlap several member countries. The Interpol does not also involve itself in any political, military, religious, or racial crimes. This is written in its constitution.

Moreover, the work of Interpol focuses primarily on public safety, terrorism, organized crime, war crimes, illicit drug production, drug trafficking, weapons smuggling, human trafficking, money laundering, child pornography, white-collar crime, computer crime, intellectual property crime and corruption.

Therefore, Dalizon or whatever group he represents, cannot merely call upon the Interpol to do things to their bidding as implied in the report he produced.

The Interpol emphatically states in their database that a Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant that Dalizon would like to have the public believe. It also gives a warning in bold letters that the person should be considered innocent until proven guilty.

Dalizon also said “the PNP noted that the Bureau of Immigration has already included Soriano in the Bureau’s watch list effective November 11, 2005.” However, a check with the office of the BI that time revealed that they had received no order from proper authorities to that effect. While Dalizon kept quoting the Philippine National Police in his report, he could only come up with just “PNP.”

Soriano is the presiding minister of the Church of God, International, more popularly known as Ang Dating Daan (The Old Path). This is, however, a multi-awarded radio and thence television program of this preacher that has been running for almost three decades. Being the head of an international church organization, the evangelist is now based in foreign countries although he reaches his Filipino audience 24 hours a day through his satellite programs. All over the world, there are locales for this church which is growing leaps and bounds.

Time and again, while the evangelist is out of the country, Philippine media is used as a weapon against him but the contents, Soriano said, are pure lies. Now and then, reports about his arrest or surrender are bannered by Philippine tabloids and picked up by TV and radio as legitimate news. In these instances, a pattern shows that media men are being used to make life difficult for him.

I think the guy has been framed but like the leaders of all religious cults making money out of religion and these guys do. Most live like kings, nice clothes, big houses and big cars as its a very good business. I really do not like these people and feel the Christian's involved are being completely duped.

Warning such religions can be bad for your wealth!

Good advice for those that belong to either of the religious cults that are giving argument in reference to Bro Eli. Both organizations are religious businesses and the leaders lead very good wealthy lives from the proceeds given by their followers.

1. If you believe in god or gods, cut out the middle men as they want your money and pray direct.

2. Buy your religions holy book and read it from cover to cover.

This good advise comes from the Koran:

17:36] Do not follow anything without knowledge. I have given you the hearing, the eyesight, and the brain, and you are responsible for using them.

But I personally feel this means the same for all religions, that one should not believe in what someone tells you without reading everything concerning your religion and its all in the religions hand book the Bible, or, Torah, or, Koran there are other religions that also have holy texts of course.

Once I did a survey in the Philippines I asked hundreds of people if they had read the Bible.

90% said they had not read Bible 8% said they had read verses in the bible and 2% said they had read the bible from cover to cover. Yet all the subjects said they where Christians. Blind faith is wonderful?

The problem with religious cults they hone in on verses in the holy text and given meanings suited to their own indoctrination. In some religions the intent can be evil in others its a gimmic to control people to pay money normally 10% of their earnings into the cult. Charity is the biggest bait and what goes to charity is only a set percentage of the businesses takings. The leaders do well and list there property to be part of the cults equity.

At your twilight age, Babel-Fish, I would really, really spend time to find out the truth.

There's not much time in this world, they say, to be saying, "I think," "I feel."

Blind faith?

For those truly looking for God, they will find him.

And that is not blind faith.

I have spent a load of time to find the truth 40 years or so and it comes down to one solid factor Religion is a good business and people are gullible. As a writer on religious issues I have spent time investigating many of these cults. However it would seem your happy funding your church leaders and are very happy that they lead a life of sheer luxury or maybe you are one of these leaders? .

Its best to pray direct it costs nothing, these cults are just cons.

They are not about finding God if God exists and your sure why is there a need to join a so called Christian organization and pay 10% or so to be controlled by its corrupt leaders? Its not going to get you a special ticket to heaven. Surely being at one with your God, by reading the holy book and praying direct, where as you know your not going to be scammed out of your hard earned cash. Is a much better option? Then you get these greedy corrupt leaders of cults that get caught out sinning, that happens very regularly and its always sickening.

Its easy to perceive just look at these guys, nice suites nices cars and nice houses and then look at the followers, poor and many living in makeshift wooden homes. They find it hard to put food on their table and life is a struggle yet these gullible people fund the church leaders.

Praying direct to a God found is a much more sensible option. Its better to have ones eyes open than following something blindly.

My advice is very, very wise and I am sure many followers of cults will agree when they read it. Spread the word, lol
