Jonestown, the Manson family, Branch Davidians, Heavens Gate, Aum Shinrikyo, NXIVM. You’ve heard their names, you’ve heard their stories.

Cults have taken on a huge presence in pop culture which is largely due to a charismatic and an other-worldly leader…Jim Jones, Charles Manson, David Karesh and so on.

Bailey and Lilly are diving into a little known cult, The Kirtland Temple Cult and their leader, Jeffery Lundgren. The Kirtland Temple Cult started as a RLDS bible study group that would share a delusion regarding the end of the world. The cult would eventually turn violent when they needed a “blood sacrifice” to ascend to heaven.
