Summary

Keep up with current episodes of Morning Cup of Murder at morningcupofmurder.com There is something very dangerous about cults. Even the ones where members have simply been brainwashed or manipulated, and no harm physically came to them. This cult, however, goes far beyond brainwashing and dives into sadistic torture. And, on October 6ths 1989 the man in charge of the cult, their Moses, was finally arrested after doing irreparable damage. This is a very simplified version of one of the most gruesome cults I, personally, have ever heard of.
