Paul Baumann article from 1976

I've never seen this background info on the cult before. I knew Baumann was an ex-con but this shows him in a whole new light, and adds ammunition to those who would indicate the Testatika is simply a hoax to draw people into the cult.

SUNDAY MAIL (South Australia) 1976, November 21.

DO AS I SAY,  NOT AS I DO

BERNE, Saturday:

The leader of a strange religious sect told his 300 followers that love-making was sinful and that even husbands and wives had to keep at least one yard apart at all times. But 59-year-old Paul Baumann did not practise what he preached in his weird hill-top community.

A jury at Thun, Switzerland, heard the prosecutor describe him as a lecher and seducer of young virgins, a liar and a cheat.  Baumann was called Big Daddy by the followers of the sect he founded 17 years ago. Men and women revered him as a saint, the prosecutor Dr Bernard Moser told the court.

But at night, the ugly little man with the wrinkled bony face, staring eyes, and long black mane went on the prowl.

The jury found him guilty of offences against minors, and as the judge gaoled him for seven years, there were shouts from the public benches: "Hang him, Shoot him."

Baumann’s Linden Sect was based as the Isolated Linden estate near Berne. The young girls of the sect lived in special houses and were easy prey. But Big Daddy was insatiable, and at times he also kept five married women in his "harem."

When new members joined with their families Big Daddy took their money and possessions. Sex, drink, smoking and gambling were forbidden. Radio, TV and newspapers were banned. And the men and women worked 14 hours a day in the furniture factory and market garden which made him a millionaire.

They believed he could perform miraclesâ€"even walk on the water. After a while they became like zombies. He put them in chains and they confessed their lustful thoughts for all to hear.

And the young girls longed to become one of the angelsâ€"the chosen few who were allowed to enter the "holy zone" where Big Daddy said he communicated with visitors from outer space. The angels, all aged 14 to 16, undressed and bathed their leader. They danced naked before him and they slept with him in a splendid temple that their parents had built.

Angel Cathy was 15 when Bauman seduced her.

She said: "I had to strip. Then Big Daddy put a new dress on me, adorned me with jewels and diamonds and put a crown on my head.

"He said I needed purification to become a true queen of angels. He was very brutal in bed. But I was proud to be chosen."

That Baumann went to jail for 5-7 years for "mis-use of minor aged female members of the community" is well known among testatika researchers (quoting from the well known document that mentions this, APrivetVisitwithBaumannandtheSmallMachines.doc.) I'm the type of person who tries to judge science and technology based on it's merits alone so knowing this has never stopped me.

This kind of activities put in to question any other claims that such a person makes with regards
to any other achievements that such a person makes.

Of course a lot of this kind of people sometimes claim they were framed by the "powers"
in order to stain their reputation.

Can you provide a link to this document? Google knows nothing about it.

Would you allow Baumann to mind your children? Would you invest money with Bernie Madoff? If not, why is Testatika any different?

The document is in the yahoo Testatika group.

Testatika has been examined from professional people, and measurements has been taken; nobody among the people who saw it had any doubt, the machine was producing power.
