A little background, as I was not familiar with the Black Hebrews sect founded in Kansas by William Crowdy back in 1896.

Followers believed themselves to be descendants of the original Jews in the Bible claiming that Jesus was Black. They appeal to the African American community using a storyline that has been somewhat successful for the Nation of Islam...the tragedy of a lost heritage and claim their original homeland is not Africa but Israel. They believe that their story began in Ur where Abraham was from and had an affinity with Elamite (a people who were the very first Semitic group mentioned in the Bible in Genesis 10:22). Elamites were a dark-skinned people with wooly hair, and based upon this, B. H. I.s assume that Abraham was black and that black people are the original people.

Ben Israel(known to authorities as Ben Carter from the south side of Chicago), started The Kingdom of Yahweh, about 1967. B. H. I.s believe that as a direct result of disobedience to the laws and the commandments of God the Hebrew, Israelites were held captive by various nations and in 70 C.E. remnants were driven from Jerusalem, by Romans, into various parts of the world, including Africa. They believe that blacks were enslaved and brought to America because of this and that this led to the remnants being spread abroad.

Israel and 350 people from Chicago, journeyed to Liberia, West Africa on their way to Israel(1969), forming what they believed to be the foundation for the kingdom of God. In 1986,Israel and his aide, Prince Asiel Ben Israel were convicted of trafficking stolen passports, securities and forging checks and saving bonds.

In the 1980s a new sect was formed in Miami,a counterpart to Ben Israel's, by Yahweh Ben Yahweh ( known by the authorities as Hulon Mitchell, Jr.) Yahweh,a former Black Muslim, ran a Black Muslim mosque in Atlanta in the early 1970s, until he was accused of sexual improprieties with underaged Muslim girls and of dipping into the collection plate. During a six-month period in 1973 and 1974, when Mitchell was a high-ranking member of the Nation of Islam, an elite group inside the Nation of Islam called the "Death Angels" murdered several hundred White men, women, and children. The exact number will never be known because many of the victims were so-called "street people": runaway teenaged girls on drugs, hippies, and the like people who weren't missed when they disappeared writes Dr. William Pierce - The Saga of Yahweh ben Yahweh.

Members of "The Nation of Yahweh" (N.O.Y.)including Hulon Mitchell(Yahweh) were arrested in 1990 of conspiring to commit RICO; and although they were not found guilty of the RICO charge, Yahweh was sentenced to serving an eighteen-year sentence for another crime - he and followers had butchered and mutilated at least 23 men, women, and children, 14 of them in Miami alone. Mitchell preached to his whole congregation that the killing of White people, whom he calls "blue-eyed devils," is pleasing to Yahweh.

Mitchell was freed in 2001. The NYO sect is often referred to as a “killer cult.”

Now I am not saying Houston is thinking of joining a "killer cult" as there are several sects; but do these sects/cults seem to have their foundations based on a "religion of peace"?

Aren't there some Ethiopian Jews in Israel?

Legend has it that one of the lost tribes of Israel (Dan maybe?) resettled in what is now Ethiopia.

There is mention of an Ethiopian convert in Acts, but it doesn't say if he was Jewish.

Whitney is so strung out she can't even remember the words to her songs. How can she learn a new religion?

[Cincinatus]

This is way this story is played on Drudge...

"I'M SAVING ALL MY LOVE FOR HEBREW..."

ROFL!!

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Cult.

Bobby Brown has totally ruined Whitney's life.

I get a kick seeing those guys in Times Square and, recently, Union Square. Why wouldn't she shake Sharon's hand?

Whitney's(Houston)in Strict Sect (Black Hebrews)

Are these any relation to the Black Israelites, the disgusting racists of New York Public Access Cable fame?

Crack apparently not only kills, it also causes bad wardrobe choices.

Happy Festivus Everyone!!!

Her Mom is probably rolling over in her grave.....

[Cicero]

Definitely a cult. And although they call themselves Hebrews, they are neither Hebrew nor Jewish. As their costumes and behavior suggest, they are much closer to being Muslims.

[vrwc1]

A source close to Whitney — a Christian — said: “She is very interested in this group and feels they can help her through her troubles. She and Bobby have both connected with the religious leaders in Israel...“One thing everyone agrees is that anything that keeps Whitney out of trouble is a good thing.”

A true Christian would have said: For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Mark 8:36

This group is obviously a cult as others have pointed out, and will continue to lead her and Bobby down the path of eternal damnation (which is a lot worse than just being in "trouble").

I pray that Whitney and Bobby will come to the realization that their only hope is to put their faith in Jesus, and rely wholly on him.

Are there 2 more irrelevant people in the music industry than B.B. and Ms. has-been? Hey Whit,how much are you paying your husband to go along with this charade?

[Hildy]

Whitney Houston is just an average run of the mill addict and is doing what all addicts do before they really get serious about getting sober: She's looking for something on the outside to cure her insides. It ain't gonna work. When she's really ready to look at herself, then her life will change for the better.

[Irishguy]

i guess osama is very upset now...since he said he loved her...wow he will be turning in his grave now...

[BlessedBeGod]

Just when I thought her life couldn't possibly get any worse...

The black cult settled in Dimona? That's an interesting choice given what else is in the area: Should Israel close its ageing nuclear reactor? 5/18/2016, 9:29:32 AM · by sukhoi-30mki · 7 replies The Economist ^ | May 18th 2016 ITS CUPOLA dully glinting in the sun, across kilometres of an exclusion zone in the Negev Desert, the nuclear reactor near the Israeli town of Dimona has for decades been the subject of intense speculation. Its bland official name, the Centre for Nuclear Research, belies a martial purpose. Foreign intelligence services, atomic scientists and a former Israeli employee claim that it is the source of fissile material used to make Israel’s nuclear weapons. The country’s atomic secrets have always been closely guarded, so little is known about the plant at Dimona. However, officials at the Israel Atomic Energy Commission (IAEC)...

Study estimates Israel's nuclear weapon count stands at 115 11/21/2015, 9:10:10 AM · by sukhoi-30mki · 20 replies The Jerusalem Post ^ | 11/21/2015 | YOSSI MELMAN Astudy conducted by the US based Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) estimated that Israel had 115 nuclear bombs in its possession in 2014. The study was composed by the institute's founder David Albright, and was part of a more comprehensive study on the worldwide inventory of plutonium. The study estimated that Israel produced plutonium at a rapid pace in the past 50 years since the inception of its nuclear reactor in Dimona, acquiring 660 kilograms of plutonium, taking into account an estimation error of 150 kilograms. A single nuclear bomb requires 3-5 kg of plutonium, the study estimated....
