thats helter skelter.

what about those people that think fags should be killed? theres a thread on them....called the most hated family in america
 
more like a bunch of morons than a cult. its not so much the family thats dumb its the parents that are fucktards brainwashing their children.
 
scope dividinism (SP) or something... its the fundementalist from the 7th day adventests... shit in waco texas went down... scope that.... or some other one i totally forget the name of that stages a mass suicide.
 
just thinking about those pricks makes me want to kill them. next thing you know they are going to take over some 3rd world country
 
Look into the fundamentalist church of jesus christ and the latter day saints- the real crazy mormons who are into polygamy and marrying their daughters.

A good source of info on this is Jon Krakauer's book 'Under the Banner of Heaven'. I personally visited some of the places he mentions to see if what he was saying about these mo-mos was true and it was pretty freaky- all living on welfare generated by huge families, 4k+ square foot houses out of shit building materials, bars on the upper windows so the misbehaving wife #3 can't escape, compounds with lots of CCTV surveillance, the whole nine yards.

One of their leaders, a Warren Jeffs, was recently arrested in TX if I remember correctly.
 
THE ILLUMINATI !!!

just read angels and demons by Dan Brown and your set ( fuckign sick book btw, along with the dvinci code)
 
Wasn't there some big thing in the news a month or two back about some crazy polygamist cult?? If I could remember the name or the location I'd hook ya up, but all I know is I heard something about it.
 
waco texas incident

also watch jesus camp.. that may offend some people.. but ya its crazy. . they act like a cult
 
i still like my idea, like have you ever read up on the illuminati. really interesting shit. Like you'll actually be enetertained by doing this project.
 
i know theyve already been said, but i think youll have a lot of luck with the Illuminati as well as the westboro baptist church. i know there is a lot of info on them, 'specially the westboro baptist- i learned about them last year in my current events class.
 
There's this crazy cult in either germany or austria that just got busted up in the last year...their thing is that they have children, then incarcerate them in the basement and slowly eat them. like they cut pieces off the kids and cook them bit by bit. it's super fucked up.

anyway i forgot what they're called BUT my girlfriend is a theology minor and she's fascinated by this shit, she'll remember who they are. she's at breakfast with some of her friends though so ill ask her when they get back.

pm me if youre still interested and ill let you know what she tells me. they'd be a pretty cool one to study

thats a pretty complete list.
Just make sure that whatever you do, you aren't referring to a religious sect. Sects and Cults are two different things that commonly get mixed up. Cults usually start independently but often take beliefs from another religion. Sects are subgroups of a religion that in some cases can sometimes be quite extreme. The Puritans would be a Sect as are Jehovah's Witnesses even though some like to refer to them as a cult.
 
hate on Catholics all you want but they dont believe any of that Genesis bull shit like most other christian domination's just watch religulous Bill Maher's movie.
