Cults

I followed that case when it first was in the press. Excellent documentary.

This is when the cult was on Dr Phil. It aired 6/7 months before her death...

McVeigh wasn’t part of the Koresh’s cult but he was a second amendment guy and was angered by the US gouvernements response to the Waco siege (and also Ruby Ridge) and that was a big part of his motivation for the Oklahoma bombing.

Thanks for correcting me on that . Thought I heard them say ( on the Waco series ) he was part of WACO but have obviously misheard .

Thanks, I’ll have a look because I don’t think I’ll find the HBO documentary online.

If you’ve got Sky/Now tv it’s on there - you could possibly do a free trial with Now tv.

Has anyone heard of this woman? I hadn’t before coming across this on YouTube



The channel has a lot of videos about cults I’ve never come across or heard of before

Oh, yes I have. I'm active on another forum where this is discussed. Claims to be an Evangelical church, really lays down expected standards of beauty/size to prove God is "blessing" you.

I’m so interested in reading and learning about cults, I think because I recognise in myself that I could easily be the type to be susceptible to them.

I’m actually an atheist now but used to be super into a certain religious group (that isn’t a cult, well no more than any organised religious group I guess) because I just wanted the community and fellowship that was provided by it and I still really miss and yearn for that.

I’ve read a few books (I found Cultish by one of the women from the Sounds Like a Cult podcast very interesting as it kind of tapped in to different things that I might get sucked into while looking for a non religious place to fit, I won’t buy yogi tea anymore now!) but will also look at the recommendations here too as they sound very interesting.

I’m glad you’ve found peace.
Ooh any book recommendations would be appreciated!

I haven’t but thanks.

That is one anorexic daughter

 

[houseofhoop]

I don’t know if this has already been mentioned as I’ve not read through all of the pages but another cult I found interesting is the heavens gate cult
Has anyone heard of it?

Yes! I think Netflix did a documentary on them

 

[Jusa]

There's a 2 part documentary about the jesus army on bbc2, 2nd part on now

Yes, it's very good, I've watched both episodes

 

[HotesTilaire]

How does it differ? is it better than the Netflix one?

Just different and you see the families whose kids got sucked in

 

[Warpaint]

Watch the Amazon prime one

Really interesting on the Exclusive Brethren

For those who leave the Exclusive Brethren sect, separation comes at great personal cost.

That's the one that had the mass group su*cide in the 90s wasn't it? If that's the right one, I remember when it happened. Mindblowing!

Yes, that's them.
