2. Branch Davidians



David Koresh was a charismatic leader who taught his followers that the United States Government was the enemy of God. Also preaching the now-familiar refrain of apocalyptic terror and destruction, Koresh installed all of his followers at a compound in Waco, Texas, with some serious weapons, and instructions to fear and fight the authorities that “threatened” their life at the cult. Koresh enjoyed the bodies of his young female followers, while painting himself as the Messiah. In February of 1994, the ATF went out to the compound, to investigate allegations of the sexual abuse of children as young as twelve, and the illegal hoarding of weapons. A famous standoff ended in tragedy as canisters of tear gas were tossed into the compound by the ATF, resulting (maybe?) in fires that caused the death of 76 members. There is much contention about whose fault the tragic fire was: the controversy continues to this day.

Long story... but David Koresh and the Branch Davidians were innocent victims of 'big government' bullying. He and his followers didn't deserve to be 'treated' that way. Sure, they have weird beliefs, they kept guns (2nd ammendment), they wanted their own community outside the System. Apparently the System did not like that. So high-ranking G-men and G-Women send heavily armed soldiers on a civilian community, positioned snipers, rammed it with their tanks and burned it down with children inside on live television. That's way more sick! Glad that TIME used tragedy because it really was.

9. Hare Krishna


Founded"]http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/hare-krishna.jpg"]Founded[/URL] in 1966, the Hare Krishna cult was a fixture in the seventies, with yellow-robed disciples panhandling at every major airport and intersection. The epitome of hippie idealism, Krishna followers believed utterly in the God “Krishna” who was actually a character created for a novel, Mahabaratha. The distinctive, relentless chanting practiced by followers of this cult actually meant “the energy of the Lord”. Krishna followers lived a hardscrabble, Spartan existence, with the barest level of sustenance, and very little sleep: they suffered for their religion, believing that they would be rewarded by ascension to a spiritual paradise after many reincarnations. However, not every member of the Krishna organization suffered: the higher echelons were well fed, housed in luxury, and surrounded by women catering to their every need. Although the Hare Krishna’s may also escape “doomsday cult” status, there are dark tales of disciples willing to do anything for their religion, including robbery and murder. Famous Followers: The Beatles, for a time.

Even though I was very young at the time '80's I remember daghan man to Hare Krishna diha sa Cebu sauna, daghan kaayo to sa Colon mag chant2x sa dalan. Lingaw kaayo ko ug tan.aw ato nila. Anyway since its part of Hinduism (Krishna is Vishnu) I'm not really surprised by its extremities. Krishna is found in other Hindu text like my fave, Bhagavad-Gita which is like the Hindu counterpart of the Christian Gospels. Dunno why ISKC is classified as "cult" maybe it just attracted weirdos, and the 60's and 70's had plenty of them.

George Harrison from the Beatles wrote a song part of the Hare Krishna movement. It's been my favorite religious song for long time.

That's right, but I don't think its that simple at all. Take the Waco incident, those people are just an offshoot from the Seventh Day Adventist church. The accusations used to be so simple until they began re-investigating the case. There's still former Branch Davidians around who continue to defend that there was nothing out of the ordinary and that they were merely a group of people who wanted to live in a commune, something the Amish people do. The difference was that the Davidians kept rifles and guns. The government 'seem' to overreact (bolstered by the idea that Koresh was practicing polygamy with underage girls) and sent ATF (alcohol, tobacco, firearms) agents there with tanks turned to a siege where women, old people and children were burned alive trying to hide in a makeshift bunker because those tanks were ramming on their compound.

They did something the same a year earlier in Ruby Ridge where they were after a family who believed in Doomsday scenarios, wanted to live in seclusion and stored weapons. The result was a dead mother and son killed by government snipers. We'd like to believe we still have freedoms in this world but here's two examples of what government's saying.
