The Story Behind the Abandoned Town of Johnsonville

This video focusses on a 62-acre parcel of land that once was the village of Johnsonville, Connecticut. Once a thriving mill community, then a Victorian Era tourist attraction, and eventually an abandoned ghost town, it is waiting for its new “cult church” owner to either restore it or to put it out of its misery and knock it down.

    I visited Johnsonville yesterday and I found the owners to be welcoming. I asked permission to walk around the grounds and they were fine with it. I don't appreciate the church being called a cult. That's a harsh statement to make without evidence that could have unintended consequences for them.

    I went yesterday and asked one of the owners if I could walk around. They seem fine with respectful tourists who don't litter or attempt to go inside of the buildings.

    Drove by yesterday. Gated up, chained and roped off and plastered with no trespassing signs. House across the street is occupied so I didn't enter.

    Hi.. Matt, just to make this clear, the new owner is not a sect or cult.. it is a religion, it is Church of Christ, I like the content of this video.. please ..try to check regarding doctrines within Iglesia ni Cristo ( Church of Christ) 😊

    you better research first before you said it was a cult. what does cult mean? cult /kəlt/ noun a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object. "the cult of St. Olaf" example what does veneration mean? ven·er·a·tion /ˌvenəˈrāSH(ə)n/ noun great respect; reverence. "the traditional veneration of saints" so what religion have saints and object to worshiped its up to you to decide? if we are cult or what. The bible says "'Do not make idols or set up an image or a sacred stone for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone in your land to bow down before it. I am the LORD your God. Leviticus 26:1 (NIV)
