It’s really great of you to mention that you’re not putting the blame on religious people. I have several friends who are devout Muslims from Afghanistan, and they are the most understanding, easygoing, and accepting people I’ve ever met. They don’t hide their faith (hell, two women I know have openly chastised their husbands when said husbands told them to “stop wearing the hijab, we’re in America now”), but they are appalled when they see people using and abusing religion as a tool for power; one gentleman even confided in me that he was stunned by just how many laws in the United States are based in (Protestant Christian) religious belief, when we’re supposed to be keeping church and state firmly apart. Religion and faith aren’t evil, but they can be used for evil by terrible people trying to justify their sick desires.

Agreed. it's SO prevalent, but speaking up makes you lose credibility to other Christians. it's just the devil talking, disapproval of other Christians means you hate God Himself. i'm no fundie but i reckon 50% of self-identified Christians i've seen are Pharisees, using God's name in vain to exploit the faithful & rationalize their own misdeeds. & the Bible warns us of just that, numerous times - yet it never stops being disheartening. i'm fairly scientifically minded and VERY skeptical of "demonic" activities, but i can comfortably say for people like these, Kenneth Cokehead & Jesse Duplicitous - there be demons in there.

I’ve always been so interested in this cult. My best friend from middle school’s mom grew up in this cult. she didn’t deal with any severe SA (there was def some weird shit they did but i digress) but she had no idea about any history of the world like AT ALL she didn’t even know DINOSAURS EXISTED. her mother is however very grateful she was able to escape the cult after learning about what other meme vets experienced

I just remembered being in a free church (my mom went from church to church for some time, when I was younger) and they said 'Jesus-Freaks' once... in the context of the preacher guy being like 'let me tell you this one time we saw a buddha statue in the park and we waited for nightfall before making it fall over and drawing crosses all over it, because that is what good christians do' and everyone (was a youth group of that church, so mostly people in the age of 14-17 ) just went with it and as smiling and telling him how great that was and I just sat there... thinking 'how disrespectful can you get?' but I didn't say anything, because I was so baffled and didn't want everyone against me. Looking back, I should've said something... it was basically... this whole 'all have to accept our religion, but there's no need to respect any other person, with different beliefs'-attitude and I hated it..

I remember when I was 8, my family and I were checking out different churches to see what was the best fit for us. We visited a Pentecostal church, and everyone was holding their hands up and speaking in tongues, which was scary enough. Well, one woman was convulsing on the floor as if she was having a seizure and I asked my dad, "Is she okay?" and the woman next to us said,"The demons are coming from her body!" We carefully walked out while playing along so no one stopped us. That was the craziest church experience we've ever had!

I wrote a letter to some of the leaders at one point which ended up getting my whole family kicked out which was the best thing that ever happened to us.

River Phoenix was in this cult as a child?! 😭 Now it makes me wonder if that is how he got his emotions for his roles in Stand By Me and Running On Empty. Those are pretty much the only movies that I've seen him in. And he was a teenager in those. I remember on the special features with interviews for Stand By Me when the actors when they were older for like an anniversary edition... they said they remember it didnt take much for River to bring out his emotions for that one scene. He probably just finally letting out all of what he was bottling up inside him. And I know he turned to drugs and he died of an overdose. He was already an amazing heartfelt actor and he could've done so much more amazing things in life. 😭

That's what I'd do to rescue a family member. My sister who's ten years older than me had an abusive abusive boyfriend when young. Our mom flat out told him she'd kill him if he didn't leave for good. He must have believed her because we never saw him again. Personally I'd rather be on my own than deal with toxic people. Admittedly though I am on my own but that's by choice. I do upgrade my boy cat occasionally to boyfriend status when someone is bothering me. Then he goes back to baby/living teddy bear. Seriously he lets me cuddle him for hours while I watch KZread or read on my tablet.

The fact that killing someone, even someone who hurt him so badly, was just too horrible of a thing for him to stand is freaking heart breaking to me.

Just discovered these deep dives today and am obsessed. Been watching for hours and loving every minute of it

two of my best friends in college were almost victims of cults. I'm not sure how either managed to break free but I'm glad they did. one of them reported her experience to the dean of students who was already fed up with the group coming onto campus that her testimony gave him the evidence he needed to ban them from ever stepping foot on campus again (public uni) and turn info over to the local PD. I don't think the cult got closed down but it got run out of that part of town. dean did not mess around

I hear about these stories and I'm shocked my mom never fell into a cult. She was a hippie, hichhiked around the country, did drugs, etc. But by the time I was born she was already a medical professional. Truly shocking stuff out there.

I knew one of the ex-members of this cult. He was my mom's boyfriend and I really got to see the effects this type of abuse can have on someone. He was forced to do sexual activities with almost all his family members and his mother was one of the people in charge of recruiting people into this cult.

my dad has actually talked about this a bit. he and his brother grew up in huntington beach and actually spoke to this dude a couple times. it was mostly just small talk, but there were a couple times where he tried to get them to come to his “meetings”. they never went, obviously, but it was still creepy as hell. my grandmother apparently insulted him on a few occasions because he was speaking against her religion (we’re catholics). she was an elementary school teacher and she always made sure her students were staying away from him. if they had to walk passed his place on the way to/from school, she gave them a new route. he freaked her out, and she was right to feel that way. i believe they met his kids, but i could be wrong. they had no idea what he was actually doing, but they were right to avoid him and his family.

As a Pentecostal Christian, I hate how often Christianity and the word of God was and is used and lied about for such horrible things. People take so many things out of context and people use the Bible and Christianity for horrible things sometimes. This is why I’m more afraid of people than demons. A demon will flee at the mention of Jesus name but a person… a human with a soul and a mind.. can do so much damage and sometimes you can’t stop them. Both can twist the word of God but one is definitely easier to believe when they’re a human being.

The problem is there are many problematic verses in the bible condoning murder, rape and child abuse. All in clear translated English. And if you report (it’s not hate speech just facts) this I shall put it back. Your religion is very damaging.

Thinking about an angry coach yelling "ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT JESUS‽‽‽" while having intercorse is quite funny

subscribed JUST FOR THE TRUE CRIME SERIES IM OBSESSED you've taken my two favorite things: humor and death. and smashed them together and i cannot stress enough how much i love this effing series. KILLED IT. the cutaways and comments during the story are FING HILARIOUS MAJOR W 👏👏👏 please do yuka takaoka next! 😮🙏

I hope Ricky is at peace. The fact that killing someone who hurt him and so many others caused him such pain that he ended up ending his life says so much about the pain he went through and the kind of person he was. May his memory be a blessing

Kris is literally like the best friend, older sister, mother figure, and icon we all need. And honestly I love these style videos (don't know what that says about me though)

To be fair, sometimes humor makes things easier to palette when talking about it, doesn't excuse what happens, of course, it just makes it a tiny bit easier

My best friend, whom I love dearly, lived in that cult and suffered greatly. Thanks for covering this.

I was born and raised into this cult, in Brazil, wasn't living in it by the age of 14-15 But it was never a choice to leave. After everything with Ricky went down the structure was hard to control so they started pushing for members to get jobs and study and not live in big homes (communes) anymore. It is my belief that they continue to profit under different names and NGO's around the world. The structure was HUGE, and worldwide. Thanks for making this video to let people know it's a real thing, most survivors don't even touch on the subject cause we're easily deemed crazy

I didn’t know you made these videos. I thought you just made shorts on FB. I’m glad I found you. In the shorts I find you quite funny. So to find you doing videos on topics such as these is awesome. Definite follow.

You should do stand up comedy. Your side commentary had me in stitches. Turning tragedy into comedy brilliantly.

As someone who grew up in this cult, this is probably the best researched video on this cult. It felt like I was listening an exmember

Almost an hour long video and still so many details to cover. It's hard to explain just how insane this all got. I am a SGA ( seconds generation adult), born into the cult, and lived all the consequences of what has been told here. It's easy to think the story just ends where these videos end, but unfortunately survivors all still suffering with all the trauma caused. I'm so glad more people are talking about it, but I'm sad it's still a big problem for us who lived through it

I hope you cover more cults! It's always good to be aware of these things and how easily people can get sucked in.

I am now 5 one hour videos deep in ur channel and you have now became my fav crime KZreadr to listen to when I crochet 👹✨

As a survivor of a Fundamentalist cult, I seriously love that you're covering these things. Thank you so so much. I can't wait to see what other cults you cover. A bunch of us survivors are watching and feel so validated that this is out in the world now. It gives us a voice, so again THANK YOU! You're an amazing and lovely being!!

I grew up in the Pentecostal church and can confirm that entire denomination is a cult. It’s terrifying to be like 6 years old and hearing people speaking “in tongues” and watching them pass out and jump over rows of pews and whatnot at least twice a week. I was 12 when we got kicked out of our church because my mom’s elbows were showing. I ran far and fast from that lifestyle but unfortunately about half my family is still in it. Please keep doing these true crime stories! You’re one of 2 people who can do stories like this without boring me to tears! 💕

Yeah when I first got married we joined my MIL's pentecostal church because my husband prefers smaller churches and mine was a huge baptist church. We reached our limit when this Baptist girl went to Sunday night church in long shorts and was forced to sit in the kitchen for the whole service. I also got tired of dirty looks whenever I came to church alone because my husband had to repair his car in order to go to work that week (we were dirt poor and drove pos vehicles). How dare he miss church in order to fix his car so he could pay our bills. Yeah. Incidentally, I'm pretty sure his MIL was forced by her husband to go; she later ran away from him by going out a window in the night.

It really hurts my heart to see so many comments of ex members of cults including this one. You guys are so strong and i will never fully understand the pain. Sending love and light!

Everyone just sharing there stories (which by the way I am so sorry for, for the fact that you all had to go through such horrible horrible things. I genuinely hope and pray that things work out in your favour and you get the very best for yourself in life and after) while I am here just hoping Kris starts doing a full-fledged true crime series because this is literally so well made. All of them are just so well narrated with such genuine emotions that feels so natural and...well sort of that you don't actually keep just feeling horrible and greyer as you watch, its light hearted with dark humour albeit, but it is.

I grew up in a cult. I’d love to share my story but unfortunately I can’t because I would lose access to almost all of my family. Thank you for speaking up. It’s too common for SA and abuse towards children to occur in cults. The cult I’m from still protects the creeps so I personally stay as far away as I can while maintaining some level of connection to my family. Hopefully one day I find the strength to completely remove myself from it, but my family is so invested I’m not sure I’ll be able to without cutting them off.

My utmost empathy and sympathy for these families and people.

Seeing all the stories in the comments of people who were born in or grew up in this cult is heartbreaking while I think of what they must have gone through but at the same time it gives me hope knowing that they were able to escape. I truly hope every single one of you is happy and thriving, please continue to share your stories ❤️❤️

​@@rachael5611bro what the hell, this isn't the time for your Christ adverts especially not for people who have suffered DIRECT TRAUMA from organised religious cults. You may think your doing a good thing but you're really not.

The worst part about history class in school was we stopped in the 70’s, after talking for weeks and weeks about the Vietnam War, and we didn’t get to any of the cults or pop culture anything, until the end of the school year. So, for 7 years I’ve had to play catch up on the 80’s, 90’s and whatever else. But not the big main stuff going on, those little tiny “Hey! Remember this?” moments in history. This is a perfect video essay and it’s exactly what I wanted to learn about today. Because what kind of sick psychopath would allow these things to happen under the guise of “Gods Work”? What makes a person become like this? I’ve always been interested in the psychology side of these types of people, so I can understand and avoid what they do.

Great job with the video!! Beautifully made

I love this new content. It is a nice way to learn about terrible situations in a good way that doesn't work up my anxiety and rage over it. THANK YOU. I would love to hear about Jim Jones. My drama teacher taught the actor who played Jim Jones in the PBS documentary and we had to watch the mini-series every year to learn how hard it is for good people to portray evil P.O.S on film.

Me and my mom almost got stuck in a cult We started going to this church, it wasn't a Cristian church it was a church for people who didn't know what they believe in. It was cool, and fun at the start but then the leaders started getting weird. You couldn't hug someone with the leaders permission, they wouldn't allow phones in the church, and you couldn't talk about the other people or talk about where the location. They wouldn't let you leave until the session was over. They had these rules that really didn't make sense and if you broke then you would have to go into the leader's room and make it. They started to try to get us to live in the area and to stay longer. And I know at the time it kind of seems a little crazy but we didn't leave sooner but we are going through some really bad stuff and people kept judging us cuz we didn't know what religion we believed so nice to go to a place where you could believe whatever you wanted we're just trying to find a safe place to be ourselves and at the time it seemed like this place it

It's a sensitive and tough topic, but Kris’s presentation makes it engaging and thought-provoking. Kudos for tackling such a serious subject with care!

First and foremost I love the cold case coverage you do! Next to your collabs that is my favorite...but if you do cults and origins please do the little known ones...the ones people tried to keep quiet
