Cargo-cult group

Solomons' police monitoring new cargo-cult-like group

The group called 'Kingdom' is Christianity-based but holds some controversial beliefs.

TheĀ Solomon StarĀ newspaper reports local Christian associations do not recognise the movement with one local pastor describing it as a cargo-cult because it reportedly tells members they will receive goods and money from the US.

He said the group believes the people of Malaita are descendants of Israel and that today the ground would open up and swallow all unbelievers and houses will spring up out of the ground for the faithful to occupy and be served by white women.
