Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the internet.
I am your host Rebecca Felgate and today we are back with cults.
You guys seem to love a bit of cult chat – part one of the Scariest Cults You Never Want to

Buuut if you wanna join the cult of Most Amazing then please subscribe now – disclaimer – that
was a poor taste joke.
We are not and never will be affiliated with a cult.
Please leave a thumbs up on this video and share it with a friend and also let me know
which on this list you think the scariest is.
The Cult behind the 2014 Chinese McDolands Murder
10 - Eastern Lightning In May 2014, members of Eastern Lighting,
a cult found across china, killed a woman in a McDonalds restaurant in the Shandong
Province.
It seems six cult members infiltrated the chain and went around diners asking for their
cell phone numbers.
Perhaps they were searching for new recruits.
One woman refused and she was then set upon by cult member Zhang Lidong who claimed she
was an evil demon.
He then grabbed a steel mop and beat the woman, a 37 year old mother, with it and stamped
on her head for a full three minutes.
The other cult members stopped the public intervening, although many were too scared
to move.
The police arrived and Lidong was arrested and sentenced to death, but he still maintains
the woman was evil.
Another cult member stabbed an elderly woman and 23 students at a school in the Henan Province.
Eastern Lightning believes Christ has been reincarnated as a woman from central China
and wants to fight the so called red dragon of communist china.
The cult has long been associated with blackmailing and oppression at best, and kidnap and murder
at worst.
9 - Raelism One click on the Raelism website will tell
you that the group believes that Life on Earth was created by extraterrestrials who were
mistaken for gods by our primitive ancestors.
Cult founder Claude Vorilhon, who has changed his name to Rael claimed he’d had a vision
of an alien spacecraft descending over southern France.
In his vision he lived among aliens for six days and he was told that Jesus was an alien
and that humans were the only hope for the future of the universe.
Their judgement day will be given by an alien called Elohim.
They believe in topless rights for women which… you know..
I am pretty pro freeing the nip… but what makes Raelists a bit worrying is that believe
they are more intelligent than other people and that they’re very pro human cloning.
They claim that they cloned a baby that they named eve – they are also keen to implant
memories and personalities from one person into a clone….
Kind of like the premise in Get Out…which was a very worrying movie indeed.
The Vatican have spoken out against this cult and their cloning practices specifically.
8 - Congregation for the Light This cult has something with owls going on…..
which…
I mean cant we all appreciate a good owl, but I draw the line at a cult owl, I really
do.
The Congregation for the Light is a so called cult ruled by the formidable Tom Baer.
They are headquartered in Manhattan and believe humanity comes from an Arian race in the lost
city of Atlantis.
From former members and those who have dalliances with the Light it seems that the group has
a very oppressive grip over the relationships and love loves of its members.
Cult members are trained with M14 automatic rifles in preparation for the end of the world.
They want to erase homosexuality and, according to the testament of a former member, they
act like robots and beat people for subservience.
7 - Fiat Lux Fait Lux translates to Let There Be Light-
the so called religious sect live a private life in Germany’s Black Forest and it seems
they believe the apocalypse is coming and that alien ships are coming to take us to
a new planet called Amora.
The cult leader, Uriella, believed the apocalypse was going to come in 1998, but when it didn’t
she said it was due to the immense praying energies of the faithful.
It seems that Uriella convinced members to give her money to survive the apocalypse but
some are mad as it never came.
The woman also famously lobbied for prosecuted pedophile, Beat Meier.
The cult has been accused of facilitating abuse in the form of throwning parties that
allowed pedophiles access to young children.
It seems the ostentatious leader Uriella died in February 2019, leaving the status of the
cult unknown.
6 - The Brethren The Brethren are sometimes termed the Cult
of Garbage Eaters and they live life as vagrants, believing the end is neigh.
The Christian group was developed by the late Jim Roberts, but he died 2015.
Interestingly a former cult member conducted a reddit AMA which was super informative.
It seems that members were forced to live homeless lives, deeply pressured into turning
away from their friends and family, and encouraged not to pay for things, so they end up eating
food from bins.
Members have to be Obedient to people who had joined the cult before them, including
to children born into the cult, and women are forced to be obedient all men.
It seems the Brethern regularly take acid, too.
Generally most reports say the abuse inside the brethren is emotional and mental, but
some have accused the tribe of physical abuse, too.
5 - The Apostles of Infinite Love This group is an ultra right wing conservative
group founded in Quebec by Jean Gaston Tremblay, who liked to be known as Father John, and
a man who called himself Pope Clement XV – a former clergyman excommunicated by the Vatican
for his extremism.
It seems in their heyday of the 1970s the group were linked to kidnapping, confinement
and both sexual and physical abuse of children.
In 1999, police raided the monastery and child protection authorities removed 20 children,
and issued arrest warrants for leader and three other disciples.. but later the evidence
was lost and they were released from jail.
Thegroup are headquartered in Quebec but they also have outposts in France and Guadeloupe.
Both leaders are now dead and it is unclear who is in charge, but the cult does still
exist.
4 - The Family This cult is not thought to still be in existence,
or we hope not anyway, but there certainly are still plenty of underground supremacists
groups out there.
The Family was an Australian cult fronted by Yoga Teacher Anne Hamilton Byrne who claimed
she was the reincarnation of jesus.
The cult opened a psychiatric hospital and doped people with LSD, then recruited them
to join the sect.
Anne Byrne abducted children and gave them fake birth certificates, dying their hair
blonde and secluding them from the outside world.
The children were also doped with LSD.
Eventually the police raided the cult in 1987, arresting Byrne and her husband.
3 - Mithraism Mithraism is an ancient cult buuuut there
are still offshoots today, notably in London, where the cult began in Roman times.
Mithras believed that it wasn’t Christ who founded Christianity, but St Paul.
The group met in secret and were obsessed with a legendary bull slaying.
It seems that they did and still do ritually re-enact it with live animals, after which
it is rumoured they drink its blood consume its raw flesh.
It seems the ancient Mithras were associated with cannibalism…which makes me worry about
the existing arm of the notoriously secretive cult.
2 - Illuminati It is the age-old question isn’t it….is
the illuminati real?
Well… honestly, probably.
The name is applied to a lot of secretive groups but it was actually a secret society
in the 1700s.
The group was thought to have 2500 members at its peak and was filled with societal climbers
who wanted to place illuminati members in positions of power.
A lot of people think that the secret society still exists today and they claim celebrities
like Beyonce and Justin Beiber are members.
Others say the cryptic pyramid on the united states dollar is a reference to Illuminati
members infiltrating the Federal Bank.
People say there is a New World Order and if you know anything about it, you already
know too much.
1 - ISIS You absolutely do not want to meet a member
of isis, but some of us may already have done so without knowing, which is bone chilling.
A lot of cults come from peverted religious roots, and Isis are no more Muslim than the
Klu Klu Klan are Christian – they are extremeists who use religion as a method to strength their
cult and its hold on members as well as legitimize what they are doing.
Isis was founded in 1999 and is currently run by Abu Bakr.
The group is a Jihadi terror cell who have conducted many attacks over the years, including
the 2015 Tunisia and Paris Attacks, the 2017 Manchester Arena Bombing, the 2018 Pakistan
Bombings and more.
It seems that 72 mass graves have been discovered in areas that have been liberated from ISIL
control.
In total, these mass graves contain the bodies of approximately 15,000 people killed by the
cult.
Isis recruits by grooming children and teenagers and eventually encouraging them to flea their
countries and join ISIS in Syria – they then don’t allow them contact with their
family and are made to fight.
If a person tries to flea ISIS , they will likely end up on one of those mass graves.
Isis is one of the biggest cult problems of our decade.
So…Isis… a bit of a video buzzkill, ehy!

What did you think?
Which cult scares you the most?
Comments from Part 1
Vesa Roivainen said: scientology is a cult no matter what anybody says...?
P Phoenix said: y mother was apart of a cult once ... It was called AVON but my father
referred to it as 'crap-von’ – He sounds super supportive of her side hustle, ehy?
A strange but pretty great comment from Laura Kuhn: A friend of mine founded the Church
of Fondu for school....so literally a cheese cult.
A cheese slicer was used as a ritual knife.
A Blessing was in the name of the cheddar the Swiss and the holy Crock-Pot dig in.
Pizza was considered the perfect food being circular and consisting of the major food
groups namely grains for the crust fruit for the tomato sauce vegetables for the vegetables
meet obviously and for the proliferation of cheese upon it.
Yogurt was considered the anti cheese and was therefore anathema.
I believe he got an A for this particular project.
Oh and for penance you had to stand in a circle of your peers confess your sins and get pelted
by cheese puffs.
Sins were seen as things like eating yogurt.?
Like… is it okay I am a little bit here for this?!
