He tried before, and it worked: national attention! Earlier, the would-be cult leader was thrown out of Germany.
Until then, he found quite a few followers in Cologne: 800 to 1000 joined his church. Der Spiegel quotes a Protestant official who worked on the case:
Former church members are still undergoing therapy as a result of "spiritual abuse," Schäfer said. According to Schäfer, Jones urged church members to beat their children with a rod and also taught "a distinctive demonology" and conducted brainwashing.He's down to about 50 followers, yet commands weeks of world attention.
"Terry Jones appears to have a delusional personality..."
Everybody is talking about him.
Including some very important people.
Very important people also give his phone a jingle.
More of his past comes to light: high school classmates!
Now he is just as famous as his old classmate! And, even after he's canceled his media event, Muslims continue to be more provoked by him than by anything the fat drug addict has said.
Success, at last!
... Oops!
Thank you, 24-hour news-cycle pursuit of "controversy," for giving him credibility as a "religious leader" in the first place!
Though he finally drew enough attention to himself to anger even Republicans; maybe there's some hope this scam will catch up with him...
