Jakarta –
Sect apocalyptic was widely discussed in the case of the death of a family in Kalideres. Apart from the apocalyptic, there are many schools of thought or understanding in this world that can be as dangerous to themselves as the apocalyptic.
Ever since humans have been able to chat and share ideas en masse, cult groups or excessive respect for people, beliefs or things have started to permeate society. Some survived, many lost their lives.
Modern cult experts today often disagree on what exactly makes a group of people a cult. What one expert calls a crazy or eccentric organization is often seen by others as a cult.
Whatever the definition, here are cults or “mortal” sects other than cults apocalypticquoted from Live science.
Temple of the Peoples
Pastor Jim Jones initiated the Peoples Temple concept whose purpose is to help the homeless, unemployed and sick of all races.
However, a number of former members of this genus say there was widespread abuse within the group. To avoid the group bringing him under public scrutiny, Jones formed a colony in the jungles of Guyana.
When a congressman visited the commune with three reporters to investigate allegations of abuse, they were shot and killed as they tried to leave. As a result of the shootings, 913 cult members, including hundreds of children, died after drinking poisoned Flavor Aid.
Aum Shinrikyo
Founded in the mid-1980s, Aum Shinrikyo is best known for attacking the Tokyo subway with sarin gas in 1995, killing 12 and injuring more than 5,000.
These cult beliefs are often described as a combination of the various destructive aspects of various religions. Some of his followers thought they were learning to develop supernatural powers through this cult, while others saw it as an opportunity to fight against Japanese materialism.
Heaven’s gate
Followers of the Heaven’s Gate or Heaven’s Gate sect led by Marshall Applewhite, argue that the Earth and everything on it will be “recycled” into a clean world.
They believed that hitchhiking on comet Hale-Bopp in March 1997 would keep them alive. Thirty-nine members (including Applewhite) took turns poisoning themselves in a California mansion, wearing sneakers and bracelets that read “Heaven’s Gate Team.”
Branch Davidians
Considered a major splinter of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the Branch Davidians are famous for the 1993 FBI raid on their Waco, Texas, United States compound that killed 76 people.
This event more or less led to the demise of what many considered a cult that believed in the imminent end of the world.
Community of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
An Indian named Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh founded several cities of worship in Oregon, United States of America and formed Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh communities in the 1980s.
Shree allegedly poisoned hundreds of people in Dalles, Oregon with Salmonella bacteria in 1984 to rig local elections in favor of her cult. This is considered the first bioterrorist attack in the United States.
Order of the Solar Temple
The Order of the Solar Temple was founded by Luc Jouret, a Belgian religious leader and neo-Nazi. He founded this group in 1984 under the pretext of spreading Christianity.
Jouret spreads the rumor about the second coming of Christ and the Knights Templar. Jouret and other Swiss village leaders allegedly sacrificed a child they considered the antichrist in 1994. Days later they committed suicide with dozens of their followers.
Raelian
Raëlians believe that UFOs “spawned” most religions, made mind transfer possible, and that cloning could lead to reincarnation.
The Raelian Church was founded in France in the 1970s. A follower of Raëlian made global media headlines in 2003 when she claimed to have conceived the first cloned human being. Later, of course, it turned out that her claim about her was just a hoax.
