Let’s Talk About Sects, Baby


Listen Later

How do you practice safe sects? You stay out of cults. This week we are talking cults. Two cults in particular.  Nydia shares with us the story of the Order of the Solar Temple. These are the folks who sacrificed a baby and then held mass suicides in three countries. Was it suicide though or an elaborate murder plot?  Dana tells us about the Freedomites are a sect of Russian dissenters who were notorious for violently protesting their right to be pacifists. I hope the irony wasn’t lost on you. 
For dinner, we had creamy garlic swiss chard chicken which left us going back for seconds. For dessert, we had Russian peach, cranberry, and almond sharlotka. It’s known as a Russian dump cake. It was a perfect dessert for anyone with an extreme sweet tooth. Our wine was Frenzy a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc with deliciously refreshing hints of peaches, melon, lime, and grapefruit. A perfect light wine for under $10.
