JonesTown Massacre
Well alot People should be familiar with the Religious Massacre that took the life of 900 Americans including Children and pregnant Women , Like many on our list , Jones Belived he heard from God and would rely this to his already devout followers
.Until the September 11th attacks, the tragedy in Jonestown on November 18th, 1978 ,Jones convinced all of his followers who died after drinking poison at the urge and soothing voice of their Pastor, the Reverend Jim Jones, in a secluded South American jungle settlement. Photographs taken after the carnage forever document the sheer enormity of the event: the bodies of hundreds of people, including children, lying face down in the grass. Nearly 40 years later, the infamous and horrific event continues to fascinate us through numerous books, articles and documentaries
His Temple had a membership estimated in the thousands and was courted by local politicians in San Francisco, including Harvey Milk. But by 1977, Jones had grown paranoid from the media scrutiny over the Temple’s suspicious activities, so he and his numerous followers moved to an agricultural settlement (a.k.a. Jonestown) in Guyana, the remote country east of Venezuela

his need to control people, his deceit, and his anger toward people who betray or abandon him – could be traced to his childhood in Indiana. A loner during his youth, Jim would entertain his playmates in the loft of his family’s barn and made them his captive audience (one time, he even locked up his young friends in the barn). He performed experiments on animals and conducted funerals for them.

Jones Moved all 900 of his Followers to South America fearing a 'Nuclear War' He would then buy thousands of Acres of Land he would later call JamesTown to Murder his Avid Followers
Jones would later compel them to drink Cups of wine laced with Cyanide, in his words " if they don't allow us to live in peace then they should allow us die in peace" after this chilling statement was surprisingly answered by equally Chilling response of resounding sounds of hallelujah , Amen! believing they were the righteous to be saved from the Earths Coming Damnation, they all did s he said , Jones will later flee from the Scene but would commit suicide later after the immense manhunt for the preacher

HEAVEN'S GATE KILLINGS
Following an anonymous tip, police enter a mansion in Rancho Santa Fe, an exclusive suburb of San Diego, California, and discover 39 victims of a mass suicide. The deceased 21 women and 18 men of varying ages—were all found lying peaceably in matching dark clothes and Nike sneakers and had no noticeable signs of blood or trauma. It was later revealed that the men and women were members of the “Heaven’s Gate” religious cult, whose leaders preached that suicide would allow them to leave their bodily “containers” and enter an alien spacecraft hidden behind the Hale-Bopp comet.

The cult was led by Marshall Applewhite, a music professor who, after surviving a near-death experience in 1972, was recruited into the cult by one of his nurses, Bonnie Lu Nettles. In 1975, Applewhite and Nettles persuaded a group of 20 people from Oregon to abandon their families and possessions and move to eastern Colorado, where they promised that an extraterrestrial spacecraft would take them to the “kingdom of heaven.” Nettles, who called herself “Ti,” and Applewhite, who took the name of “Do,” explained that human bodies were merely containers that could be abandoned in favor of a higher physical existence. As the spacecraft never arrived, membership in Heaven’s Gate diminished, and in 1985 Bonnie Lu Nettles, Applewhite’s “sexless partner,” died.

During the early 1990s, the cult resurfaced as Applewhite began recruiting new members. Soon after the 1995 discovery of the comet Hale-Bopp, the Heaven’s Gate members became convinced that an alien spacecraft was on its way to earth, hidden from human detection behind the comet. In October 1996, Applewhite rented a large home in Rancho Santa Fe, explaining to the owner that his group was made up of Christian-based angels. Applewhite advocated sexual abstinence, and several male cult members followed his example by undergoing castration operations.


Nettles died of liver cancer in 1985, but Applewhite (seen here) continued to lead the group. About 5 years later, the group isolated themselves from their friends, family and the public, and relied on the internet to recruit new members. AppleWhite would later Air publicly of the one time Mass movement to heavens Gate , by means of no other than Suicide.

Charles Manson was an American Charismatic Leader ,Religion head and an American Psychopathic criminal, although never 'killed anybody' but manipulated young hippie minded runaway followers of his to commit murderous campaigns, the Manson Family cult, that would make him one of the most infamous figures in criminal history.

Notorious for his connection to the brutal slayings of pregnant actress Sharon Tate( who casually pleaded not for her live but her child, as she laid in her pool of blood }, Manson received the death penalty in 1971, a sentence that was commuted to life in prison the following year.


Manson was born Charles Milles Maddox on November 12, 1934, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Kathleen Maddox, a 16-year-old girl who was both an alcoholic and a prostitute.

Kathleen later married William Manson, but the marriage ended quickly and Charles was placed in a boys school at age 12. Rejected in his attempts to return to his mother, Charles was soon living on the streets and getting by through petty crime.

Over the next 20 years, Manson spent time in and out of reform schools and prisons for various crimes. He was released from prison on March 21, 1967, and moved to San Francisco.Trying to be the good boy but of course would all go south
Manson would later get his own cult group/Family

The Manson Family Cult
"The Family" was a group of around 100 followers of Manson who shared his passion for an unconventional lifestyle and habitual use of hallucinogenic drugs, such as LSD and magic mushrooms. The Manson Family eventually moved from San Francisco to a deserted ranch in the San Fernando Valley.

Manson’s followers also included a small, hard-core unit of impressionable young girls. They began to believe, without question, Manson's claims that he was Jesus and his prophecies of a race war.
in his Race War he believed the Blacks would inherit the earth m, and would do unto white people what black people had done to their Ancestors , He was a complicated mind Manson.

Charles Manson and "Helter Skelter"
Manson was influenced not only by drugs, such as LSD, but by art works and music of the time, most notably The Beatles song "Helter Skelter," from their 1968 White Album. Helter Skelter: he would perform song in his hippie bus for his drug loving followers who were compelled to repeatedly say ' i love you Charlie , and i will kill for you' this quickly became their mantra as , distraught Charlie came in after his song was rejected decided to take it out on the hollywood residents living in that area .

Aum Shinrikyo
This neo-Hindi Religion led a line between a terrorist organization and a religious group, This Japanese group started innocently as a Yoga class soon it was a religious organisation with a whooping 40,0000 members Asahara broadcast his singing, insisting on his innocence through a radio broadcast relayed from Russia and directed toward Japan, , Although Negative publicity increased as the religion of the elite started hoarding weaponry , and mass bombings linked to their leader Aum shinrikyo, there was a Gas attack also commulated by the group in a Tokyo subway leaving hundreds dead

On 6 July 2018, after exhausting all appeals, Asahara and six followers were executed as a punishment for the 1995 attacks and other crimes,[3][4] and the remaining six on death row were executed on 26 July.[5] At 12:10 am, on New Year's Day 2019, at least nine people were injured (one seriously) when a car was deliberately driven into crowds celebrating the new year on Takeshita Street in Tokyo. Local police reported the arrest of Kazuhiro Kusakabe, the suspected driver, who allegedly admitted to intentionally ramming his vehicle into crowds to protest his opposition to the death penalty, specifically in retaliation for the execution of the aforementioned exeuctions
Shinrikyo Aum is a syncretic belief system that draws upon Asahara's idiosyncratic interpretations of elements of early Indian Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism, as well as Hinduism, taking Shiva as the main image of worship and incorporating millennialist ideas from Christianity, Yoga, and the writings of Nostradamus.[15][16] Its founder, Chizuo Matsumoto, claimed that he sought to restore "original Buddhism" but employed Christian millenarian rhetoric.[17] In 1992, Matsumoto, who had changed his name to Shoko Asahara, published a foundational book, declaring himself to be "Christ",[18] Japan's only fully enlightened master, as well as identifying himself as the "Lamb of God".[19]

Asahara's purported mission was to take upon himself the sins of the world, and he claimed he could transfer spiritual power to his followers and ultimately take away their sins and bad deeds.[20] While some reject Aum Shinrikyo's claims of Buddhist characteristics and affiliations with Buddhism, other scholars refer to it as an offshoot of Japanese Buddhism,[21] and this was how the movement generally defined and saw itself.

Asahara outlined a doomsday prophecy, which included a third world war instigated by the United States.

The VX victim, whom Shoko Asahara had suspected was a spy, was attacked at 7:00 a.m. on 12 December 1994, on the street in Osaka by Tomomitsu Niimi and another Aum member, who sprinkled the nerve agent on his neck. He chased them for about 100 yards (91 m) before collapsing, dying 10 days later without coming out of a deep coma. Doctors in the hospital suspected at the time he had been poisoned with an organophosphate pesticide. But the cause of death was pinned down only after cult members arrested for the subway attack in Tokyo in March 1995 confessed to the killing. Ethyl methylphosphonate, methylphosphonic acid, and diisopropyl-2-(methylthio) ethylamine were later found in the body of the victim. Unlike the cases for sarin (Matsumoto incident and Sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway), VX was not used for mass murder.[citation needed]

In February 1995, several cult members kidnapped Kiyoshi Kariya, a 69-year-old brother of a member who had escaped, from a Tokyo street and took him to a compound in Kamikuishiki near Mount Fuji, where he was killed. His corpse was destroyed in a microwave-powered incinerator and the remnants disposed of in Lake Kawaguchi.[43] Before Kariya was abducted, he had been receiving threatening phone calls demanding to know the whereabouts of his sister, and he had left a note saying, "If I disappear, I was abducted by Aum Shinrikyo".[citation needed]

Police made plans to simultaneously raid cult facilities across Japan in March 1995. Prosecutors alleged Asahara was tipped off about this and that he ordered the Tokyo subway attack to divert police

He was considered a soft Spoken man and had this calming presence about him when he spoke

THE UNIFICATION CHURCH
Known for its Christain Doctrines and Alleged brain washing , Sun Moon , the founder and God like figure , was supposedly banned in Germany for his supposed bad influence , one of his most controversial ploys was organising mass wedding and arangements for mass forgivness of sin , he would call mass cleansing/blessings, including forgiveness of rapists, murderers and all kind , before long people amass would come to him for forgiveness along with their ever willing hearts .
Moon did not originally intend to form a separate or distinct denomination or organization and did not give his group of followers an official name until 1954.The informal name "Unification Church" (Korean: Tongilgyo) was commonly used by members of the group and also by the public and the news media.

Moonies is a colloquial term first used in 1974 by the American media.Unification movement members have used the word, including Moon himself, the president of the Unification Theological Seminary David Kim,[27] and Bo Hi Pak, Moon's aide and president of Little Angels Children's Folk Ballet of Korea. In the 1980s and 1990s the Unification Church of the United States undertook an extensive public relations campaign against the use of the word by the news media. In other contexts it is still sometimes used and not always considered pejorative.

By 2018 term "Unification movement" was widely used
After World War II and the Japanese occupation ended in 1945, Moon began preaching his message. In 1946, Moon traveled alone to Pyongyang in Communist-ruled North Korea. Moon was arrested on allegations of spying for South Korea and given a five-year sentence to the Hŭngnam labor camp.

In 1950, after serving 34 months of his sentence, Moon was released from North Korea during the Korean War when United Nations troops advanced on the camp and the guards fled.[43] In 1953, Moon divorced Choi.[38] It is also reported that he had a child with a different woman in 1954.[44][45][46]

Moon's teachings, called the Divine Principle, were first published as Wonli Wonbon (원리 원본, "Original Text of the Divine Principle"wink in 1945. The earliest manuscript was lost in North Korea during the Korean War. A second, expanded version, Wonli Hesol (원리 해설), or Explanation of the Divine Principle, was published in 1957. Its most propagated text, Exposition of the Divine Principle, was published in 1966. Moon built his first church as a refugee in Pusan.

Moon moved to the United States in 1971, although he remained a citizen of the Republic of Korea. In the 1970s, he gave a series of public speeches in the United States, including one in Madison Square Garden in New York City in 1974; two in 1976 in Yankee Stadium in New York City; and one on the grounds of the Washington Monument in Washington, DC, where he spoke on "God's Hope for America" to 300,000 people. In 1975, the HSA-UWC held one of the largest peaceful gatherings in history, with 1.2 million people in Yeouido, South Korea.[55]

In the 1970s the Unification movement, along with some other new religious movements, became a target of the anti-cult movement. On the basis of theories that have not gained acceptance in mainline social science,[56] "anti-cult" activists accused the movement of having "brainwashed" its members.[57] At the same time, members reported that they were kidnapped and forcibly "deprogrammed" by those who wanted to pull them out of the movement.[58]

In 1982, Moon was convicted in the United States of filing false federal income tax returns and conspiracy: see United States v. Sun Myung Moon. He served 13 months of the sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution, Danbury.[59][60] The case was protested as a case of selective prosecution and a threat to religious freedom by, among others, Jerry Falwell, head of Moral Majority, Joseph Lowery, head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Harvey Cox a Professor of Divinity at Harvard, and Eugene McCarthy, United States Senator and former Democratic Party presidential candidate.[61][62]

Starting in the 1980s Moon instructed HSA-UWC members to take part in a program called "Home Church" in which they reached out to neighbors and community members through public service.[63] In 1991 Moon announced that Um members should return to their hometowns and undertake apostolic work and rituals which would lead to a hundred mixing wrong ingredients and sometimes poisonous items to be injected by the followers

The Branch Davidians (or Branch Davidianism) are a religious community founded in 1959 by Ben Roden. It is an offshoot of the Davidian Seventh-Day Adventist Church, established by Victor Houteff in the 1930s. Houteff was a Bulgarian immigrant to the United States and a Seventh-day Adventist. He belived himself to be the messiah , with a hundreds of videos and recordings proclaiming this .
he wrote a series of tracts entitled the "Shepherd’s Rod." The tracts called for the reform of the Seventh-day Adventist church. His ideas were rejected by Adventist leaders, and in 1935, Houteff and his followers settled near Waco and began preparing for the Second Coming. Houteff's group eventually moved to a farm near Waco, Texas. Roden took possession of the settlement, which was known as Mt. Carmel, in 1962.

The Branch Davidians are most associated with the Waco siege of 1993, a 51-day standoff between Branch Davidians and federal agents. The conflict ended when the group's compound was destroyed in a fire. Ten people were killed during the initial raid, and 76 later that week.
Howell, who acquired the position of spiritual leader from Roden, asserted it by changing his name to David Koresh, suggesting that he had ties to the biblical King David and Cyrus the Great (Koresh is the Hebrew version of the name Cyrus). He wanted to create a new lineage of world leaders.[5] This practice later served as the basis for allegations that Koresh was committing child abuse, which contributed to the siege by the ATF.

Interpreting Revelation 5:2, Koresh identified himself with the Lamb mentioned therein.[14][15] This is traditionally believed to symbolize Jesus Christ, however, Koresh suggested that the Lamb would come before Jesus and pave the way for his Second Coming.[16][5]

By the time of the 1993 Waco siege, Koresh had encouraged his followers to think of themselves as "students of the Seven Seals," rather than as "Branch Davidians." During the standoff, one of his followers publicly announced that he wanted them to thereafter be identified by the name "Koreshians".

On February 28, at 4:20 AM, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms attempted to execute a search warrant relating to alleged sexual abuse charges and illegal weapons violations.[18][19] The ATF attempted to breach the compound for approximately two hours until their ammunition ran low.[20][21] Four ATF agents (Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeehan, and Conway Charles LeBleu) were killed and another 16 agents were wounded during the raid. The five Branch Davidians killed in the 9:45 AM raid were Winston Blake (British), Peter Gent (Australian), Peter Hipsman, Perry Jones, and Jaydean Wendell; two were killed by the Branch Davidians.[22] Almost six hours after the ceasefire, Michael Schroeder was shot dead by ATF agents who alleged he fired a pistol at agents as he attempted to re-enter the compound with Woodrow Kendrick and Norman Allison.[23] His wife claimed that he was merely returning from work and had not participated in the day's earlier altercation.[21] Schroeder had been shot once in the eye, once in the heart, and five times in the back.[24]

After the raid, ATF agents established contact with Koresh and others inside of the compound. The FBI took command after the deaths of federal agents, and managed to facilitate the release of 19 children (without their parents) relatively early into the negotiations.[25] The children were then interviewed by the FBI and the Texas Rangers.[25] Allegedly, the children had been physically and sexually abused long before the raid.[26]


FBI photo of the Mount Carmel Center engulfed in flames
On April 19, 1993, the FBI moved for a final siege of the compound using large weaponry such as .50 caliber (12.7 mm) rifles and armored Combat Engineering Vehicles (CEV) to combat the heavily armed Branch Davidians. The FBI attempted to use tear gas to flush out the Branch Davidians. Officially, FBI agents were only permitted to return any incoming fire, not to actively assault the Branch Davidians. When several Branch Davidians opened fire, the FBI's response was to increase the amount of gas being used.[23] Around noon, three fires broke out simultaneously in different parts of the building. The government maintains that the fires were deliberately started by Branch Davidians.[23][2] Some Branch Davidian survivors maintain that the fires were started either accidentally or deliberately by the assault.[21][27] Of the 85 Branch Davidians in the compound when the final siege began, 76 died on April 19 in various ways, from falling rubble to suffocating effects of the fire, or by gunshot from fellow Branch Davidians.The siege lasted 51 days.
In the late 1980s, Koresh and his followers abandoned many Branch Davidian teachings. Koresh became the group's self-proclaimed final prophet. "Koreshians" were the majority resulting from the schism among the Branch Davidians, but some of the Branch Davidians did not join Koresh's group and instead gathered around George Roden or became independent. Following a series of violent shootouts between Roden's and Koresh's group, the Mount Carmel compound was eventually taken over by the "Koreshians".

JonesTown Massacre
Well alot People should be familiar with the Religious Massacre that took the life of 900 Americans including Children and pregnant Women , Like many on our list , Jones Belived he heard from God and would rely this to his already devout followers
.Until the September 11th attacks, the tragedy in Jonestown on November 18th, 1978 ,Jones convinced all of his followers who died after drinking poison at the urge and soothing voice of their Pastor, the Reverend Jim Jones, in a secluded South American jungle settlement. Photographs taken after the carnage forever document the sheer enormity of the event: the bodies of hundreds of people, including children, lying face down in the grass. Nearly 40 years later, the infamous and horrific event continues to fascinate us through numerous books, articles and documentaries
His Temple had a membership estimated in the thousands and was courted by local politicians in San Francisco, including Harvey Milk. But by 1977, Jones had grown paranoid from the media scrutiny over the Temple’s suspicious activities, so he and his numerous followers moved to an agricultural settlement (a.k.a. Jonestown) in Guyana, the remote country east of Venezuela

his need to control people, his deceit, and his anger toward people who betray or abandon him – could be traced to his childhood in Indiana. A loner during his youth, Jim would entertain his playmates in the loft of his family’s barn and made them his captive audience (one time, he even locked up his young friends in the barn). He performed experiments on animals and conducted funerals for them.

Jones Moved all 900 of his Followers to South America fearing a 'Nuclear War' He would then buy thousands of Acres of Land he would later call JamesTown to Murder his Avid Followers
