If you want a podcast to listen to about stuff like this I'd recommend "Let's talk about Sects". It does a good job going through cults like the ones in the OP. They all do the same shit. Cults target vulnerable people, isolate them from everyone they know and love, and then start trying to control their lives further from there.
80% of people have never read the bible fully, or just listen to their racist white Paster skip over the verse in which Jesus is describe, Bronze Skin, and Hair of wool, dumb fuckers...
Thank God.
Watched this crazy dude being interviewed as part of a BBC documentary filmed in Russia with Simon Reeve and he often requested and spent time alone with the villagers young teenage daughters "teaching them" apparently.
The weird thing was the parents said they were happy for it to happen 😔

Rudimentary creature of blood and flesh. You touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
I remember that documentary. I was surprised that the cult allowed the BBC in to film given how obviously sinister and rapey they were.
Yeah, he was obviously delusional and believed in what he had told himself.
That's the part I have trouble believing- you think he actually genuinely in his own mind thinks he's Jesus? I reckon these kind of terrifying cult leaders know, at least on some level, that they are selling lies for their own sordid purposes. For eg L Ron.
Jesus was a mindflayer confirmed. Cthulu confirmed.
Sorry, he's just a fake. Brazil is the country with the real Jesus reincarnation.
Edit: dammit the only english source I had found was daily mail. I'll find another one
An old AFP video will have to do for a quicker glance at the madness

No they recast with a white lead to get the viewership numbers up. I'm going to rework a quote from the much lauded Ridley Scott:
"Netflix can't mount a series of this budget, where they have to rely on tax rebates in Jordan, and say that their lead actor is Mehdi so-and-so from such-and-such. They just will struggle to get it financed past the first season."
They always have names that sound like supervillain enclaves. Always.
You'd think that'd be the first hint to stay the fuck away.
Is it JUST me, or does that picture look lime someone is standing behind the dude with outstretched arms, or that he has four arms or something???
Isn't that the Vorlon's whole deal in Babylon 5?
Don't they - sans suit - appear as an angel-like creature of a different species, depending on the beholder?
if Covid-19 has proven, people believe in anything regardless of 'intelligence'.
Oh it's that guy.
Wonder why they decided to arrest him now, he's been around for decades
Also in this case the guy started his cult right when the Soviet Union collapsed. Probably the perfect chance to find a lot of desperate people looking for somebody to give them direction in their new reality

Church of the Last Testament sounds like it could be the end boss theme to a Final Fantasy game.
Holy shit that was something alright. At least he's not telling them to be violent but I feel really bad for the boys and girls who are being raised there.
The same reason that anybody would believe in any kind of religion or God... They want an easy answer to their questions no matter how ridiculous it actually is.
for some reason people tend to find it offensive when people compare their ancient superstitions with modern ones.
