Maybe add a section to expand on what Ruby Franke was in, because she was part of this cult called, "Connexions." It was led by the woman she was arrested with, Jodi Hildebrandt.
and I've been to a 12 Tribes restaurant. Beautiful traditional artwork inside, big murals, and great sandwiches. Shame it's a cult.

I used to date a girl who was attended a church devoted to following William Marrion Branham.
They never read any bibles like a normal church would. Rather they read books based around his sermons. What set him apart from your run of the mill doomsday preacher was that his ideology was something I could only describe as a mix of Young Earth Creationism and Calvinism. The Young Earth stuff is pretty standard, being that Adam and Eve were riding around on the backs of dinosaurs before they were kicked out of the Garden of Eden for eating the apple. His version of Calvinism was he believed there were people who could get into heaven by following the teachings of God and there were people, he dubbed serpent seeds, who were destined for hellfire regardless of the lives they lived. He believed that since they were descended from the devil, they could never fully embrace God's grace in the way that was required for access to heaven. Oh and all the other denominations of Christianity were tainted by the devil. The only way you were getting into heaven was by following him.
Branham also believed he was personally ordained by God to be a prophet. Think of being visited by angels in the middle of the night and told to spread the gospel, standard issue stuff. He'd further elaborate on how God chose his prophets by saying that several historically significant people were chosen throughout the years since the conclusion of the bible. A notable example is Martin Luther being told by God to nail his Theses to the church and start the Protestant Reformation. But what makes Branham special is he was to be the last prophet chosen by God. After him, Jesus would have his second coming and trigger the apocalypse. Those destined for heaven would be called to serve in God's kingdom while everyone else destined for hell would join their daddy in eternal damnation.
His ministry fell apart in an incident that gets talked about by his followers to this day and the way I've heard it explained is as follows: One day, God told him to go to India and "save ten thousand souls." So he obediently hops on a plane, flies to India, and gets robbed of everything almost as soon as he lands. When asked why, he says "Oh well when God told me to fly to India, he told me to go somewhere else first and I didn't listen to him." This was the moment many of his followers realized William Marrion Branham was likely full of shit and left his ministry. But his hardcore followers paint it as a good thing since it helped bleed off his fair weather parishioners. It was after hearing this I had to tell my ex I couldn't go to her church with her anymore. The people there were nice and the preacher could preach that fire. I just couldn't pretend to entertain that guy's horseshit anymore.
He didn't run a cult in the sense that he got people to commit mass suicide or he built a harem of teenage girls (which let's be real, that's the reason why most cults are formed). He built his cult around the idea that he was a holy prophet chosen by God himself. Whether managed to brainwash himself into believing it can only be speculated.

That is not an offshoot of the O9A, and the O9A is not the Tempel ov Blood (Sutter fed org.), which is what you are thinking of when you say that they are involved in neo-Nazism.

Adidam
Adidam is a cult formerly headed by a man known as "Adi Da Samraj"(deceased). Adi da was born "Franklin Albert Jones" and later changed his name numerous times(Bubba Free John, Da Free John, Da Love-Ananda, Da Avabhasa, Adi Da Love-Ananda Samraj). He was known in the 70's and 80's for writing spiritual books, including an autobiography.
At some point he amassed a following that translated into a cult. Members believed him to be God, and the only being capable of achieving "seventh stage realization", aka enlightenment. He claimed that no other being had ever reached this stage(including Jesus, the Buddha, etc) and that if someone wished to reach enlightenment they needed to follow his teachings.
During the 80's he was sued for sexual misconduct, but the cases were settled out of court. Its alleged that members partake in orgies, and that Da is known to cuck husbands who are members of the group.
At some point they all fucked off to some Fijian island for privacy, and Da remained there until his death in 2008.

I only found out about this cult recently because Amazon advertised a compendium of Da's work to me called "The Aletheon". The Amazon page claims he finished it on the day of his death, which is really what intrigued me, and led me down the rabbit hole.

Is Reiki a cult? I thought it was just woo. The energy healing section could use more info that explains how it's a cult and not just a scam to get money from white middle class women.
But opposite magnetic forces attract, not repel. Yakub sure was retarded.

There is this russian guy (i think) who only wears white and he's quite famous, he goes even further in his "energetic" groping and touching (his female patients literally grind him while moaning). He has sessions and workshops about this. I tried to find him but couldn't remember his name.

There are some sex fetish cults that furries and troons flock to. While they aren't recognized as a religion I reckon they may qualify as a category of cult you could include. Floraverse, Korps and Hexcorp are examples. Flora's thread has almost 1850 pages but a lot of people have made videos and websites about it and some Kiwis have followed the thread since the start.
I thought Reiki was just bloody quackery but I can imagine how grifters can turn it into cultish rubbish.

Correction:
He's dead.
Additionally:
They have a political party(a).
They believe in aliens, and it seems like Okawa was a bit of a UFO enthusiast.

The Portuguese Praxis (Praxe)
In Portugal there's a whole culture associated with hazing. The freshmen are called "bestas" or "bichos" (beasts) and the 3rd year students are the "veterans". 3rd = 3 enrolments, not actually a 3rd year student (Portugal doesn't use GP, rather you need a minimum of 50% in a class to pass and if you don't you have to repeat it, besides college is very cheap, this means people stay in college for decades on bank of mom and dad simply wasting time).
This used to be an elite thing before the socialist revolution in 1974, after which they briefly disappeared and then reappeared rebranded as being "by the people, for the people". They accept (harrass) both men and women and the overwhelming majority of students in any given university are in it.
Those who aren't are excluded from all social life (they literally walk right past you and don't even look your way, even if they're your classmates) and have to figure it all out pretty much on their own. There's no mentoring, no tour guides, no nothing. They will literally wait for the freshmen outside of their classrooms.
They are extremely racist too. They automatically exclude foreign students. Unless it's girls they want to sleep with.
They have been involved in many deaths (https://english.elpais.com/elpais/2014/02/03/inenglish/1391452114_526134.html).
Sexual assault, drink spiking, you know that frat type of thing, it's all very common. Some girls cope with this by dating older veterans (which is exactly what these "veterans" are going for) only to be cheated on and dumped less than a year later when they are replaced by a younger bouncier cool girl.
Speaking from personal experience (I didn't join this bullshitery, ha) dealing with them in any way is a nightmare. They are awful roommates, the kind that makes you get stares from all the neighbors when they walk past you on the stairs, they steal things, they invite people over and throw parties without warning, and they are absolutely fucking unhinged. As in, mentally unhinged. They lie, steal, cheat, they think they are soooo smart and leave nothing but a trail of chaos behind them as they spiral deeper into their mental illness and wonder why the world doesn't care about them or their stupid cult. They have no respect for anyone except for their dear leaders whom they bow down and grovel in a way that's utterly repulsive.
What you'd expect from a cult of spoiled shits anyway.
They have a range of deeply obscene songs that they sing throughout the streets of whatever city has to endure them, things in the lines of "I killed my mother in law and dug up her stiff cold hand to wank", "I killed your mother to make whore-rice", they baptize the freshmen in week old food leftovers and parade them around the city like this. They wear badges that go from "Mom/Dad's pride" to sex jokes. They are involved with the catholic church, which blesses their cloaks. They repay by pissing on them afterwards, or holding drinking contests in front of church, funneling wine through a hose into freshmen's throats until they vomit.
Once they graduate they go on to do the exact same things in the workplace. "The praxis prepared me for the workplace!" they often like to say.

Moving all the Inactives and Historicals to another post to free up space. I will ask staff to append this or something.
Founded by former hypnotist Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (aka Osho) who built a utopian commune called Rajneeshpuram in Oregon during the 1980s. Under the leadership of Ma Anand Sheela, Osho's secretary, they committed crimes including the largest bioterror attack on U.S. soil (infecting 750+ people with salmonella), illegal wiretapping, immigration fraud, and an alleged plot to assassinate officials. After Sheela’s arrest and Rajneesh’s deportation, the commune collapsed. Today, the movement survives in a sanitized form through the Osho International Foundation, which runs meditation centers and wellness retreats worldwide, downplaying its violent past.
Osho was known as a "sex guru". His followers engaged in orgies regularly and he had a circle of women that was essentially his harem. His devotees would bring their children to the compound where many ended up being abused.
You've likely seen Osho quotes thrown around. He had a distinct meaningless word salad, which he always delivered in a very slow, hypnotic tone that would send his followers into a trance-like state, causing them to stumble around half dazed after his sermons.
The Rajneeshies are best known for the take over of Antelope, Oregon in the 1980s as part of their plan to expand their commune, Rajneeshpuram. After moving in large numbers nearby, they bought up local properties, outvoted residents, and renamed the town "Rajneesh". This hostile takeover caused major tension with longtime residents.
In a bid to rid themselves of pesky locals, they spread salmonella in one of the local restaurants, causing the largest bioterrorist attack in US soil to this date. This drew attention from the FBI and ISN which led to the arrest of Sheela and Baghwan's deportation.
After the leaders were gone the commune collapsed.
Besides from the salmonella there was also a plan to blend beavers (yes you read that right) and put them into the water supply, with the intent of spreading illness.
Netflix produced a documentary called Wild, Wild Country, which explains all this in detail.
Heaven’s Gate was a cult founded by Marshall Applewhite (“Do”) and Bonnie Nettles (“Ti”), who believed they were extraterrestrial beings sent to help others ascend to a “Next Level” of existence beyond Earth. They preached that human bodies were merely “vehicles” and that followers needed to shed earthly attachments, including families, emotions, and even sexuality, to ascend. After Nettles died in 1985, Applewhite reinterpreted their teachings to focus on a future ascension through death. Members wore identical clothes, Nike sneakers, and had bags of cash and IDs.
Members followed strict rules, wore matching uniforms, and were given new, often androgynous names. They lived communally and erased individuality through synchronized routines, including manuals detailing how to cook omelets, fold clothes, or shop at grocery stores without showing emotion. In their efforts to suppress sexuality, several male members, including Applewhite, underwent voluntary surgical castration.
Applewhite, who struggled with his sexuality and believed human desires were obstacles to ascension, had himself surgically castrated and encouraged male followers to do the same to suppress sexual urges. At least seven male members underwent the procedure, some in makeshift conditions. The cult also adopted strict celibacy, identical clothing, shaved heads, and renunciation of all individual identity in preparation for what they saw as their departure from Earth. Their 1997 mass suicide was the culmination of these beliefs and intended to free their souls for transport to a spacecraft supposedly trailing the Hale-Bopp comet.
The Branch Davidians were a religious sect that emerged from the Seventh-day Adventist Church, eventually led by David Koresh (born Vernon Howell), who claimed to be the final prophet and the Lamb of God. He taught that he alone could interpret the Bible’s Book of Revelation and that the world was on the brink of an apocalyptic battle. Koresh established a compound called Mount Carmel near Waco, Texas, where he lived with his followers, many of whom believed he had divine authority. He preached strict obedience, took multiple “spiritual wives” (some underage), and stockpiled weapons in preparation for the end times.
The group came under federal scrutiny in the early 1990s due to allegations of child abuse and weapons violations. On February 28, 1993, the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms) attempted to raid the compound, resulting in a gunfight that killed four federal agents and six Branch Davidians. A tense 51-day siege followed, during which the FBI tried to negotiate the group’s peaceful surrender. Inside, Koresh stalled by claiming he was waiting for a sign from God to write his religious manuscript, while the government grew increasingly impatient.
On April 19, 1993, the FBI launched a final assault, using tanks to insert tear gas into the compound in an effort to force people out. Instead, a fire broke out and consumed the entire structure, killing 76 people, including Koresh and many children. The origin of the fire remains controversial—while the government claims the Davidians set it intentionally, survivors and critics argue the FBI’s tactics provoked the tragedy. The Waco siege became a powerful symbol of government overreach for anti-government and militia groups, and its fallout would later influence events like the Oklahoma City bombing.
The Manson Family was a cult led by Charles Manson, a manipulative ex-convict who gathered a group of mostly young women around him in California in the late 1960s. Manson preached a mix of apocalyptic prophecy, race war ideology, and distorted Beatles lyrics, especially from the White Album. He claimed a coming race war—what he called “Helter Skelter”—would destroy the world, after which he and his followers would emerge from a hidden underground paradise to rule over the survivors. His charisma, drug use (particularly LSD), and constant guitar playing helped him draw in vulnerable young women, many of whom came from broken homes or had histories of abuse.
He told his followers he was Christ-like, could control time, and that “elves” or “magical beings” would help them after the apocalypse. The Family lived communally, mostly at Spahn Ranch, where Manson exerted total control over the group—particularly the women, whom he kept sexually submissive, compliant, and loyal. Under his direction, several followers carried out a series of gruesome murders in 1969, most infamously the Tate-LaBianca killings, meant to spark the race war he envisioned. Manson never directly killed anyone himself but was convicted for orchestrating the murders and sentenced to life in prison, where he remained until his death in 2017.
Jim Jones was the founder of the Peoples Temple, a religious movement that began in the 1950s preaching racial equality, socialism, and communal living. Charismatic and controlling, Jones gained a devoted following by presenting himself as a messianic figure who could perform miracles and deliver salvation. Over time, his sermons became increasingly paranoid and authoritarian, with a heavy focus on impending apocalypse and betrayal by outside enemies.
In the late 1970s, facing media scrutiny and allegations of abuse, Jones moved his followers to a remote jungle settlement in Guyana called Jonestown, promising a utopian escape from American corruption. But life there was harsh and cult-like, with armed guards, forced labor, and Jones broadcasting hours-long rants over loudspeakers. In 1978, after a U.S. congressman visited Jonestown and was murdered by Jones’ followers while attempting to leave with defectors, Jones orchestrated a mass suicide-murder. Over 900 people died, including many children, by drinking cyanide-laced punch—one of the deadliest cult tragedies in history.
Guru Jagat, born Katie Griggs, was one of Yogi Bhajan’s most prominent modern protégés, responsible for rebranding his legacy for the Instagram era. Through her Ra Ma Institute, she blended Bhajan-style Kundalini Yoga with chic wellness aesthetics, conspiracy theories, and cult-like devotion. Her clients included actor Kate Hudson, singer Alicia Keys and actors Kelly Rutherford, Demi Moore and Laura Dern. Staff at the studio were paid less than minimum wage. She defended Bhajan against abuse allegations and built an insular world of spiritual elitism, selling expensive workshops, “mystical” mentorships, and access to her curated image of cosmic enlightenment. Guru Jagat promoted herself as a spiritual rebel while recycling Bhajan’s teachings and esoteric jargon.
You've probably heard of Yogi Tea; it is owned by 3HO.
Bikram Choudhury, founder of Bikram Yoga, built a global empire teaching a standardized sequence of 26 yoga postures performed in heated rooms. He claimed to have been a yoga champion in India and to have healed the US Olympic team with his method—both widely disputed or unverified. Known for his flashy persona, luxury cars, and abrasive teaching style, Bikram fostered a cult-like environment around his training programs. Multiple women later accused him of sexual assault and harassment, describing how he exploited his position as a spiritual authority to manipulate and abuse students. Despite several lawsuits and a massive fall from grace, he fled the U.S. and continued teaching abroad, largely unrepentant, while former followers attempted to rebuild the movement without him.
Roch Thériault was a Canadian cult leader who founded the _Ant Hill Kids_ commune in the late 1970s, first in Quebec and later in Ontario. Claiming to be a prophet chosen by God, Thériault drew in followers with a blend of charismatic Christian mysticism and doomsday prophecies. His original intent was to create a sin-free utopia, but it quickly devolved into a nightmarish regime of control, abuse, and delusion. He banned outside communication, dictated every aspect of his followers’ lives, and fathered over 20 children with multiple women in the group, many of whom had joined as young, vulnerable adults seeking spiritual purpose.
The commune earned its nickname because Thériault forced members to work long hours like ants, building the compound and performing labor with little rest. But the true horrors came from Thériault’s escalating madness. He began conducting grotesque “surgeries” on his followers without anesthesia—using kitchen tools to remove limbs, extract teeth, and even perform a crude intestinal surgery. In one case, he attempted to treat a woman’s stomach complaint by ripping out part of her intestines with his bare hands, which led to her death. He also nailed a child to a tree as punishment and ordered others to beat or mutilate each other as forms of discipline.
Thériault’s reign of terror ended in 1989 when a female follower escaped and alerted authorities. The police raided the compound and discovered the extent of the abuse. Thériault was convicted of multiple crimes, including murder, and sentenced to life in prison. In 2011, he was killed by his cellmate, bringing an end to one of Canada’s most disturbing cult leaders. The case remains infamous for its blend of apocalyptic delusion, authoritarian abuse, and sheer physical horror—akin more to a horror movie than a spiritual movement.
João Teixeira de Faria, known as John of God, was a self-proclaimed Brazilian faith healer and psychic surgeon who ran a spiritual healing center in Abadiânia called the Casa de Dom Inácio de Loyola. With no formal medical training, he rose to global fame by claiming to channel spiritual entities who performed miraculous cures through him. He drew millions of followers, including celebrities and international media like Oprah Winfrey, who promoted his work. At his compound, visitors were offered either “visible” surgeries—gruesome performances involving forceps inserted deep into nasal cavities or eyeballs without anesthesia—or “invisible” operations where patients would meditate while Faria claimed to operate on them spiritually. He sold blessed herbs, magical triangles, and charged for “spiritually energized” water and crystal bed sessions, reportedly earning millions annually.
Behind the spiritual facade lay disturbing delusions and dangerous practices. Faria claimed spiritual entities could heal people remotely through surrogate bodies and insisted that passionflower pills carried healing energy when blessed. Skeptics, including James Randi, debunked his surgeries as parlor tricks, yet Faria maintained a devoted following. Tragically, his healing theater served as a cover for a massive criminal enterprise: in 2018, over 600 women came forward accusing him of rape, sexual abuse, and pedophilia, including his own daughter. These crimes, committed over decades, led to his conviction and a combined sentence of nearly 500 years in prison. His case remains one of Brazil’s most shocking examples of spiritual fraud and abuse.
The Hare Krishnas, formally known as the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), are a religious movement founded in 1966 in New York City by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. They follow a form of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, a devotional branch of Hinduism that focuses on the worship of Krishna as the Supreme God.
The Hare Krishna movement (ISKCON), while rooted in sincere spiritual practice and devotion, has also been marked by a number of scandals, especially during its rapid expansion in the 1970s and 1980s. Though many members genuinely sought spiritual growth through chanting, vegetarianism, and renunciation, the movement's intense hierarchy, communal isolation, and devotion to charismatic leaders created conditions ripe for abuse. Several high-ranking ISKCON members were implicated in serious misconduct, ranging from financial fraud to physical and sexual abuse, particularly within the movement's boarding schools (gurukulas) for children. These scandals deeply damaged ISKCON’s reputation and led to lawsuits, defections, and internal reform efforts.
One of the most notorious figures was Kirtanananda Swami (Keith Ham), the first Western-born disciple to be initiated by the movement’s founder, Prabhupada. He rose to power within ISKCON and founded the New Vrindaban community in West Virginia, which became a major ISKCON center. Kirtanananda, however, was later expelled from ISKCON due to accusations of child abuse, sexual misconduct, and authoritarian leadership. He was eventually convicted in the 1990s for racketeering and conspiracy to murder, after it was revealed he had ordered hits on dissident followers. ISKCON has since made efforts to reform its structure, implement child protection policies, and distance itself from former abuses, but its past continues to cast a long shadow.
The Skoptsy were a radical Russian Christian sect that emerged in the late 18th century, known for their extreme asceticism and bodily mutilation practices, particularly castration in men and mastectomy or genital mutilation in women. They believed that sexual organs were the mark of original sin—literal remnants of the forbidden fruit from Eden—and that salvation required their removal. Castration was seen as a path to purity and divine perfection, following their interpretation of certain biblical passages. The sect considered Jesus and the apostles to have been eunuchs and believed they were fulfilling Christ’s call to spiritual perfection.
Their founder, Kondratiy Selivanov, was a peasant who declared himself both Jesus Christ and Tsar Peter III. He built a devoted following, even among the Russian elite, and was eventually arrested and confined to a monastery, where he remained a revered figure until his death. Under Selivanov’s leadership and afterward, the Skoptsy spread across the Russian Empire and into Romania. Despite repression, trials, and mockery (such as being paraded in women’s clothes), the group reportedly had tens of thousands of members by the early 20th century.
Skoptsy ceremonies often involved public castration without anesthetics, referred to as the “fiery baptism.” Their leaders would cry “Christ is risen!” as they cut off testicles, penises, or breasts. While the movement was persecuted by the Russian authorities and later nearly eradicated by the Soviet regime, reports of surviving adherents persisted well into the 20th century.

NXVIM
Leader arrested
Sex cult MLM that branded women and conducted human experiments
Sex cult MLM that branded women and conducted human experiments
NXIVM was a self-improvement organization founded in 1998 by Keith Raniere and Nancy Salzman. It marketed personal growth seminars using Raniere’s "Rational Inquiry" methods, but beneath its surface, NXIVM operated as a coercive cult.
Raneire started his career in MLMs. Similar to Osho, Raniere had the typical cult leader world salad gobbledygook.
Actress Allison Mack (released) was a prominent member and highly involved with the grooming of women in DOS
A secret sub-organization within NXIVM, known as DOS (Dominus Obsequious Sororium), was exposed in 2017. It involved branding women with Raniere’s initials, collecting blackmail material called "collateral", and enforcing obedience under a master/slave dynamic. He kept them deliberately emaciated, maintaining strict control over their caloric intake. DOS members were coerced into sexual acts with Raniere under the guise of spiritual or personal development. Revelations from whistleblowers like Sarah Edmondson and media investigations triggered a federal probe into NXIVM's activities, ultimately leading to multiple arrests and a wide-scale collapse of the organization.
Several documentaries and books have come out, namely Seduced: Inside the NXVIM Cult focusing on India Oxenberg and The Vow with Sarah Edmonson.
Raniere was found to have an extensive record of child molestation dating back to the 80s and 90s.
He's been sentenced to life in prison.

OneTaste aka The Institute of OM (Orgasmic Meditation)
Leader arrested
A group that charged exorbitant fees to teach women how to masturbate.
A group that charged exorbitant fees to teach women how to masturbate.
OneTaste, a “sexual wellness” company founded by Nicole Daedone in 2004, promoted a practice called orgasmic meditation—a 15-minute clitoral stroking ritual—framed as a path to mindfulness and healing. The group grew in popularity through celebrity endorsements and commune-style living, but eventually attracted serious allegations of abuse and cult-like control. In 2023, Daedone and sales executive Rachel Cherwitz were charged with forced labor conspiracy, accused of exploiting participants’ sexual trauma, coercing them into unwanted sex acts, and using manipulative tactics to extract labor and money.
Daedone insisted members have sex with each other to "overcome their traumas" and that any distressing reactions, such as vomiting, crying or dissociation, were actually a sign they were "moving through trauma". Many of these members living in communal housing where their schedules, relationships, and even medical decisions were influenced by leadership.
One of the most controversial claims is that members—especially women—were pressured to have sex with wealthy potential clients or engage in acts they found degrading, all under the guise of “expanding their edges.” Saying no was seen as “resistance” to growth. Former employees allege they were instructed to overcome disgust and perform sexual acts for recruitment or sales purposes.
There is a good documentary on this group called Orgasm Inc.

Kat Torres - arrested
Sugar baby turned cult leader
Kat Torres used to be just a regular sugar baby when she was introduced to ayahuasca when living in New York and was never the same again.
She claimed to be guided by something called "The Voice" and to have spiritual power and be able to predict the future.
She gained fame as a spiritual life coach and influencer, claiming to have overcome a violent childhood and attracting followers with promises of love, money, and self-empowerment. She had over a million Instagram followers and offered one-on-one consultations for $150.
Torres exploited vulnerable followers—mostly young Brazilian women—promising them personal and professional growth. Once they moved in with her (often in the US) and joined her "witch coven", she subjected them to psychological manipulation, forced labor, strict control, and in some cases, sexual exploitation.
Two Brazilian women who disappeared in 2022 were found living under Torres’ control in Texas. Desirrê was pressured into working as a stripper and later as a prostitute, with Torres confiscating her earnings and threatening her with spiritual "curses."
She was arrested for human trafficking and slavery after an investigation into the disappearances of those women.

Carbon Nation
Leader arrested
Eligio Bishop aka Natureboy
Eligio Bishop aka Natureboy
Eligio Bishop, also known as Natureboy, was the charismatic and manipulative leader of Carbon Nation, an eco-spiritual cult that preached a return to nature and Black liberation through tropical living. Beginning in 2016, he amassed a loyal following of mostly young, creative Black followers by promoting ideas like veganism, astrology, anti-capitalism, and polygamy—often via livestreams and social media. Over time, his role shifted from spiritual teacher to self-proclaimed God and Messiah.
He used to have a youtube channel where his teaching included "how to give back to nature", featuring him taking a shit behind a bush. He has also talked about being naked and having sex in front of kids.
Meme version
Behind the scenes, Bishop enforced strict rules, controlled relationships, and physically and emotionally abused followers, especially women. Reports from ex-members detail beatings, sexual coercion, and cult tactics such as isolation, sleep and food deprivation, and surveillance. Some women were allegedly forced to fight each other for his attention. Others testified that he normalized rape under the guise of spiritual authority. At least one member, Mama Dia, died while in the group—reportedly after ceasing heart medication.
Bishop’s eventual arrest came after Jenaé Newell, a former member, accused him of rape and revenge porn. Two other women testified to similar assaults. In 2024, Bishop was convicted on multiple charges and sentenced to life in prison without parole, a ruling he claims is politically motivated.
Since Bishop’s incarceration, Carbon Nation has fractured, some members have attempted rebrands (like “Imagine Nation”), and former followers continue to grapple with the psychological damage.

Historical
Osho aka Rajneesh movement
Founded by former hypnotist Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (aka Osho) who built a utopian commune called Rajneeshpuram in Oregon during the 1980s. Under the leadership of Ma Anand Sheela, Osho's secretary, they committed crimes including the largest bioterror attack on U.S. soil (infecting 750+ people with salmonella), illegal wiretapping, immigration fraud, and an alleged plot to assassinate officials. After Sheela’s arrest and Rajneesh’s deportation, the commune collapsed. Today, the movement survives in a sanitized form through the Osho International Foundation, which runs meditation centers and wellness retreats worldwide, downplaying its violent past.
Osho was known as a "sex guru". His followers engaged in orgies regularly and he had a circle of women that was essentially his harem. His devotees would bring their children to the compound where many ended up being abused.
You've likely seen Osho quotes thrown around. He had a distinct meaningless word salad, which he always delivered in a very slow, hypnotic tone that would send his followers into a trance-like state, causing them to stumble around half dazed after his sermons.
The Rajneeshies are best known for the take over of Antelope, Oregon in the 1980s as part of their plan to expand their commune, Rajneeshpuram. After moving in large numbers nearby, they bought up local properties, outvoted residents, and renamed the town "Rajneesh". This hostile takeover caused major tension with longtime residents.
In a bid to rid themselves of pesky locals, they spread salmonella in one of the local restaurants, causing the largest bioterrorist attack in US soil to this date. This drew attention from the FBI and ISN which led to the arrest of Sheela and Baghwan's deportation.
After the leaders were gone the commune collapsed.
Besides from the salmonella there was also a plan to blend beavers (yes you read that right) and put them into the water supply, with the intent of spreading illness.
Netflix produced a documentary called Wild, Wild Country, which explains all this in detail.
Heaven's Gate
The cult of cults
Heaven’s Gate was a cult founded by Marshall Applewhite (“Do”) and Bonnie Nettles (“Ti”), who believed they were extraterrestrial beings sent to help others ascend to a “Next Level” of existence beyond Earth. They preached that human bodies were merely “vehicles” and that followers needed to shed earthly attachments, including families, emotions, and even sexuality, to ascend. After Nettles died in 1985, Applewhite reinterpreted their teachings to focus on a future ascension through death. Members wore identical clothes, Nike sneakers, and had bags of cash and IDs.
Members followed strict rules, wore matching uniforms, and were given new, often androgynous names. They lived communally and erased individuality through synchronized routines, including manuals detailing how to cook omelets, fold clothes, or shop at grocery stores without showing emotion. In their efforts to suppress sexuality, several male members, including Applewhite, underwent voluntary surgical castration.
Applewhite, who struggled with his sexuality and believed human desires were obstacles to ascension, had himself surgically castrated and encouraged male followers to do the same to suppress sexual urges. At least seven male members underwent the procedure, some in makeshift conditions. The cult also adopted strict celibacy, identical clothing, shaved heads, and renunciation of all individual identity in preparation for what they saw as their departure from Earth. Their 1997 mass suicide was the culmination of these beliefs and intended to free their souls for transport to a spacecraft supposedly trailing the Hale-Bopp comet.
Branch Davidians
Waco
The Branch Davidians were a religious sect that emerged from the Seventh-day Adventist Church, eventually led by David Koresh (born Vernon Howell), who claimed to be the final prophet and the Lamb of God. He taught that he alone could interpret the Bible’s Book of Revelation and that the world was on the brink of an apocalyptic battle. Koresh established a compound called Mount Carmel near Waco, Texas, where he lived with his followers, many of whom believed he had divine authority. He preached strict obedience, took multiple “spiritual wives” (some underage), and stockpiled weapons in preparation for the end times.
The group came under federal scrutiny in the early 1990s due to allegations of child abuse and weapons violations. On February 28, 1993, the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms) attempted to raid the compound, resulting in a gunfight that killed four federal agents and six Branch Davidians. A tense 51-day siege followed, during which the FBI tried to negotiate the group’s peaceful surrender. Inside, Koresh stalled by claiming he was waiting for a sign from God to write his religious manuscript, while the government grew increasingly impatient.
On April 19, 1993, the FBI launched a final assault, using tanks to insert tear gas into the compound in an effort to force people out. Instead, a fire broke out and consumed the entire structure, killing 76 people, including Koresh and many children. The origin of the fire remains controversial—while the government claims the Davidians set it intentionally, survivors and critics argue the FBI’s tactics provoked the tragedy. The Waco siege became a powerful symbol of government overreach for anti-government and militia groups, and its fallout would later influence events like the Oklahoma City bombing.
Manson Family
Helter Skelter
The Manson Family was a cult led by Charles Manson, a manipulative ex-convict who gathered a group of mostly young women around him in California in the late 1960s. Manson preached a mix of apocalyptic prophecy, race war ideology, and distorted Beatles lyrics, especially from the White Album. He claimed a coming race war—what he called “Helter Skelter”—would destroy the world, after which he and his followers would emerge from a hidden underground paradise to rule over the survivors. His charisma, drug use (particularly LSD), and constant guitar playing helped him draw in vulnerable young women, many of whom came from broken homes or had histories of abuse.
He told his followers he was Christ-like, could control time, and that “elves” or “magical beings” would help them after the apocalypse. The Family lived communally, mostly at Spahn Ranch, where Manson exerted total control over the group—particularly the women, whom he kept sexually submissive, compliant, and loyal. Under his direction, several followers carried out a series of gruesome murders in 1969, most infamously the Tate-LaBianca killings, meant to spark the race war he envisioned. Manson never directly killed anyone himself but was convicted for orchestrating the murders and sentenced to life in prison, where he remained until his death in 2017.
Jim Jones
Kool Aid
Jim Jones was the founder of the Peoples Temple, a religious movement that began in the 1950s preaching racial equality, socialism, and communal living. Charismatic and controlling, Jones gained a devoted following by presenting himself as a messianic figure who could perform miracles and deliver salvation. Over time, his sermons became increasingly paranoid and authoritarian, with a heavy focus on impending apocalypse and betrayal by outside enemies.
In the late 1970s, facing media scrutiny and allegations of abuse, Jones moved his followers to a remote jungle settlement in Guyana called Jonestown, promising a utopian escape from American corruption. But life there was harsh and cult-like, with armed guards, forced labor, and Jones broadcasting hours-long rants over loudspeakers. In 1978, after a U.S. congressman visited Jonestown and was murdered by Jones’ followers while attempting to leave with defectors, Jones orchestrated a mass suicide-murder. Over 900 people died, including many children, by drinking cyanide-laced punch—one of the deadliest cult tragedies in history.
Yogi Bhajan and Guru Jagat
Kundalini yoga
Yogi Bhajan, founder of the 3HO (Healthy, Happy, Holy Organization) movement and the face of "Kundalini Yoga" in the West, built his empire through a mix of charisma, appropriation, and myth-making. Bhajan took a wide range of tantric, yogic, and Sikh practices—many of which had no clear roots in traditional teachings—and reframed them as part of his own Kundalini Yoga system, claiming ancient authority. He enforced rigid hierarchies and moral codes while sexually abusing female followers, controlling marriages, and fostering a cult-like atmosphere. Numerous former members have testified to his coercive control, manipulation, and psychological abuse, with investigations affirming a widespread pattern of misconduct cloaked in spiritual authority.Guru Jagat, born Katie Griggs, was one of Yogi Bhajan’s most prominent modern protégés, responsible for rebranding his legacy for the Instagram era. Through her Ra Ma Institute, she blended Bhajan-style Kundalini Yoga with chic wellness aesthetics, conspiracy theories, and cult-like devotion. Her clients included actor Kate Hudson, singer Alicia Keys and actors Kelly Rutherford, Demi Moore and Laura Dern. Staff at the studio were paid less than minimum wage. She defended Bhajan against abuse allegations and built an insular world of spiritual elitism, selling expensive workshops, “mystical” mentorships, and access to her curated image of cosmic enlightenment. Guru Jagat promoted herself as a spiritual rebel while recycling Bhajan’s teachings and esoteric jargon.
You've probably heard of Yogi Tea; it is owned by 3HO.
Bikram Choudhury
Hot yoga
Bikram Choudhury, founder of Bikram Yoga, built a global empire teaching a standardized sequence of 26 yoga postures performed in heated rooms. He claimed to have been a yoga champion in India and to have healed the US Olympic team with his method—both widely disputed or unverified. Known for his flashy persona, luxury cars, and abrasive teaching style, Bikram fostered a cult-like environment around his training programs. Multiple women later accused him of sexual assault and harassment, describing how he exploited his position as a spiritual authority to manipulate and abuse students. Despite several lawsuits and a massive fall from grace, he fled the U.S. and continued teaching abroad, largely unrepentant, while former followers attempted to rebuild the movement without him.
Ant Hill Kids
Roch Thériault was a Canadian cult leader who founded the _Ant Hill Kids_ commune in the late 1970s, first in Quebec and later in Ontario. Claiming to be a prophet chosen by God, Thériault drew in followers with a blend of charismatic Christian mysticism and doomsday prophecies. His original intent was to create a sin-free utopia, but it quickly devolved into a nightmarish regime of control, abuse, and delusion. He banned outside communication, dictated every aspect of his followers’ lives, and fathered over 20 children with multiple women in the group, many of whom had joined as young, vulnerable adults seeking spiritual purpose.
The commune earned its nickname because Thériault forced members to work long hours like ants, building the compound and performing labor with little rest. But the true horrors came from Thériault’s escalating madness. He began conducting grotesque “surgeries” on his followers without anesthesia—using kitchen tools to remove limbs, extract teeth, and even perform a crude intestinal surgery. In one case, he attempted to treat a woman’s stomach complaint by ripping out part of her intestines with his bare hands, which led to her death. He also nailed a child to a tree as punishment and ordered others to beat or mutilate each other as forms of discipline.
Thériault’s reign of terror ended in 1989 when a female follower escaped and alerted authorities. The police raided the compound and discovered the extent of the abuse. Thériault was convicted of multiple crimes, including murder, and sentenced to life in prison. In 2011, he was killed by his cellmate, bringing an end to one of Canada’s most disturbing cult leaders. The case remains infamous for its blend of apocalyptic delusion, authoritarian abuse, and sheer physical horror—akin more to a horror movie than a spiritual movement.
John of God
João Teixeira de Faria, known as John of God, was a self-proclaimed Brazilian faith healer and psychic surgeon who ran a spiritual healing center in Abadiânia called the Casa de Dom Inácio de Loyola. With no formal medical training, he rose to global fame by claiming to channel spiritual entities who performed miraculous cures through him. He drew millions of followers, including celebrities and international media like Oprah Winfrey, who promoted his work. At his compound, visitors were offered either “visible” surgeries—gruesome performances involving forceps inserted deep into nasal cavities or eyeballs without anesthesia—or “invisible” operations where patients would meditate while Faria claimed to operate on them spiritually. He sold blessed herbs, magical triangles, and charged for “spiritually energized” water and crystal bed sessions, reportedly earning millions annually.
Behind the spiritual facade lay disturbing delusions and dangerous practices. Faria claimed spiritual entities could heal people remotely through surrogate bodies and insisted that passionflower pills carried healing energy when blessed. Skeptics, including James Randi, debunked his surgeries as parlor tricks, yet Faria maintained a devoted following. Tragically, his healing theater served as a cover for a massive criminal enterprise: in 2018, over 600 women came forward accusing him of rape, sexual abuse, and pedophilia, including his own daughter. These crimes, committed over decades, led to his conviction and a combined sentence of nearly 500 years in prison. His case remains one of Brazil’s most shocking examples of spiritual fraud and abuse.
Hare Krishnas
The Hare Krishna movement (ISKCON), while rooted in sincere spiritual practice and devotion, has also been marked by a number of scandals, especially during its rapid expansion in the 1970s and 1980s. Though many members genuinely sought spiritual growth through chanting, vegetarianism, and renunciation, the movement's intense hierarchy, communal isolation, and devotion to charismatic leaders created conditions ripe for abuse. Several high-ranking ISKCON members were implicated in serious misconduct, ranging from financial fraud to physical and sexual abuse, particularly within the movement's boarding schools (gurukulas) for children. These scandals deeply damaged ISKCON’s reputation and led to lawsuits, defections, and internal reform efforts.
One of the most notorious figures was Kirtanananda Swami (Keith Ham), the first Western-born disciple to be initiated by the movement’s founder, Prabhupada. He rose to power within ISKCON and founded the New Vrindaban community in West Virginia, which became a major ISKCON center. Kirtanananda, however, was later expelled from ISKCON due to accusations of child abuse, sexual misconduct, and authoritarian leadership. He was eventually convicted in the 1990s for racketeering and conspiracy to murder, after it was revealed he had ordered hits on dissident followers. ISKCON has since made efforts to reform its structure, implement child protection policies, and distance itself from former abuses, but its past continues to cast a long shadow.
Skoptsy
Russian genital mutilation cult
The Skoptsy were a radical Russian Christian sect that emerged in the late 18th century, known for their extreme asceticism and bodily mutilation practices, particularly castration in men and mastectomy or genital mutilation in women. They believed that sexual organs were the mark of original sin—literal remnants of the forbidden fruit from Eden—and that salvation required their removal. Castration was seen as a path to purity and divine perfection, following their interpretation of certain biblical passages. The sect considered Jesus and the apostles to have been eunuchs and believed they were fulfilling Christ’s call to spiritual perfection.
Their founder, Kondratiy Selivanov, was a peasant who declared himself both Jesus Christ and Tsar Peter III. He built a devoted following, even among the Russian elite, and was eventually arrested and confined to a monastery, where he remained a revered figure until his death. Under Selivanov’s leadership and afterward, the Skoptsy spread across the Russian Empire and into Romania. Despite repression, trials, and mockery (such as being paraded in women’s clothes), the group reportedly had tens of thousands of members by the early 20th century.
Skoptsy ceremonies often involved public castration without anesthetics, referred to as the “fiery baptism.” Their leaders would cry “Christ is risen!” as they cut off testicles, penises, or breasts. While the movement was persecuted by the Russian authorities and later nearly eradicated by the Soviet regime, reports of surviving adherents persisted well into the 20th century.

The Tempel ov Blood takes a lot of inspiration from the O9A, and in turn 764 uses a lot of ToB terminology and aesthetics. They're not direct offshoots, but they're not unrelated either. The ToB is the Fed honeypot spinoff of the O9A, and 764 and the com network is the retarded spinoff of that. And the original O9A overlaps with neo-Nazism.

Occult orgs and Neo-Nazism go back to ... well before the Neo bit. Both Crowley's OTO (where L. Ron Hubbard cut his teeth*) and in particular its main splinter group the Golden Dawn are all crawling with Race War types who think the Antichrist will lead the Aryan man to global domination and an even more Final Solution than the last one. There's a lot of gnostic ideas in their doctrine (some have argued that Nazism itself is best understood as a politicised gnostic sect), in particular that Yahweh is either the Demiurge or some other kind of trickster demon who is holding the true creator or creators (they're particularly keen on the Norse pantheon), who created Aryans as his chosen people, hostage with the aid of Jews and their black slave-race. The Golden Dawn has its own political party in Greece who want to rebuild the Byzantine Empire and exterminate Turks and Arabs.
There are a few Chaos Magick cults scattered around Europe that are descended from the OTO as well, but they replace the racism with consuming industrial quantities of hallucinogens until their brains implode. Some of them think the Cthulhu Mythos is real and that H P Lovecraft was a prophet. Seriously.
*Highlight of Ron's time in the OTO was how he swindled fellow occultist and literal rocket scientist Jack Parsons out of his 2 yachts before Parsons died in an extremely suspicious explosion in the laboratory he built in his basement. The whole story is utterly insane and well worth a read. It shows that L. Ron's psychopathy went back way before he came up with Scientology.

Appreciate the exhaustive write-up. Have observed that sometimes threads on single cults can turn slightly towards political hug-boxes in the opposite direction of whatever the cult is, as opposed to discussion of the actual cult aspects. This thread compiling all the cults is a good idea since it focuses more on the actual cult aspects they all have in common.
Regarding Twelve Tribes, I was never a member nor were any of my family, but by complete chance lived in two places in different parts of America where they had a presence. I'll jog my own memory and maybe ask my parents some stuff and contribute something later.
