Dimapur, July 15 2013:
Church workers in Nagaland are experiencing a harrowing time these days 'exorcising the devils' from the society.
Few months after a prominent church leader in Nagaland had commented on the purported rising number of Satan worshippers in the state, the alleged distribution of membership forms in the state has even fueled unnerved for many Christians in the state.
Early this year, Rev.Zotuo Kiewhuo, a senior pastor and founder of Koinonia Baptist Church, Kohima had said that there were around 3000 devil worshippers in the state capital Nagaland alone.
Amid intense speculations, a membership form of a group called "Awakening the Horror" was made available to Newmai News Network by a church pastor in Dimapur as recent as in the first week of July.
To be a member of this group, one has to submit the form after necessary descriptions are mentioned in the form along with Rs 20.The form says that the members of "Awakening the Horror" should help each other and fight jointly against anyone who attack any of the members.
Meanwhile, the church pastor who did not want to be identified told NNN that these members of "Awakening the Horror" would meet once a week at a place in Chumukedima in the outskirt of Dimapur just around midnight.
However, NNN attempted hard to ascertain the development but to no avail.
Meanwhile, to thwart the purported rise in the number of Satan worshippers, a 'Transformation crusade' was held from April 24-30 with the theme 'Arise and shine' at Khuochiezie local ground in Kohima.
Churches across Nagaland are also giving special times to pray so that the supposed Satan worhippers are done away.
