Charming fellow.

Interesting to me that so many of these nut-job cult leaders follow the same game plan.
Controlling their followers, plenty of sex with the most attractive young girls, you wonder if there is some sort of cult-leader manual floating around.

Then again, perhaps it's atavistic. If you think about it, this is the way our primitive relatives behave to some degree; Alpha male who gets all the sex, strict obedience from the clan, a paternalistic tendency to protect the clan...

:eek:

I read about this guy all the time; he was the subject of a big case story on 60 Minutes, if memory serves me. I didn't know he was that sick.

He was nuts, all right.

They refer to his death as "the ascension of our Founder and Savior."

:jaw-dropp

No more will I think of myself as weird for separating candy into colors.

At least he didn't decide to take his whole clan with him like Jones, Koresh and that Heaven's Gate guy.

Yeah, Joseph Smith all over again... and so many others...

I'm guessing this is the guy that the UFO/balloon caller Prophet Yahweh is modeling himself after.

Hey the Heavens gate guy was not sleeping with young girls. Well likely not do to the castration and all.

Hmm, looks like Jerry Falwell has passed away as well. Coincidence?

I thought this thread was about Falwell. Two cult leaders dead... GREAT!!
