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! So that was the Top 10 Scariest Cults You
Don’t Want To Meet Part 2! 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?!
