Evil Prophet

Evil Prophet There was a megalomaniacal man, his ministry in Indiana began, a man whose heart was not so pure and lead a most tragic event to occur. His narcissistic personality, hid many dark demons no-one could see, he preached his followers to repent, conned them out of money with evil intent. He promised a tropical paradise in a new country, without thinking twice no-body labeled this preacher a fraud believing he was a prophet of God. The U.S. congress decided they would follow-up rumors as best as they could hearing of armed guards, beatings galore attempts to escape and so much more. An official committee was put into place to observe the compound just in case but they were gunned down beside their plane this cult leader was truly insane Arsenic in Kool-Aid or needle by choice, "self-inflict", commanded his voice, some tried to escape to the jungle in dread either way they would wind up dead. Jonestown, November ‘78 900 dead bodies were found on that date the largest mass suicide to occur The Jim Jones Guyana massacre. Contest: Evil is Everywhere July 1, 2016
