132 - Order of the Solar Temple Doomsday Cult

Published: March 25, 2019, 6:45 p.m.

b'On October 4th, 1994 the dead bodies of two Solar Temple cult members and their baby are found in Morin Heights, Quebec. All three have been stabbed to death. The baby has had a wooden dagger run through its heart in an obvious ritual killing. Forty-eight other cult members would take their lives that evening. And then another sixteen in 1995. And then five more in 1997. Why? Why did so many cult members take their own lives? What did these people believe in? Madness. They believed in so much madness. And I\'ll break that madness down and tell the story of the formation and destruction of this strange cult today on Timesuck.\\n\\nUpcoming\\xa0Happy Murder Tour\\xa0Standup\\xa0dates:\\n\\nMarch 28 Naples, Florida\\xa0- Off the Hook Comedy Club\\xa0CLICK HERE\\xa0for tix!\\n\\nMarch 30 Miami, Florida\\xa0- The Improv\\xa0CLICK HERE\\xa0for tix!\\n\\nApril 4-6 Cleveland, Ohio\\xa0- Hilarities\\xa0CLICK HERE\\xa0for tix!\\n\\nApril 11th Des Moines, Iowa\\xa0- The Funny Bone\\xa0CLICK HERE\\xa0for tix!\\n\\nApril 12-13 Kansas City, Missouri\\xa0- The Improv\\xa0CLICK HERE\\xa0for tix!\\n\\n** LIVE ANT HILL KIDS CULT TIMESUCK April 6 Cleveland\\xa0- Hilarities\\xa0CLICK HERE\\xa0for tix!\\n\\n**\\xa0LIVE ANT HILL KIDS CULT TIMESUCK April 14 Nashville -\\xa0Zanies\\xa0CLICK HERE\\xa0for tix!\\xa0\\n\\nListen to the best of my standup on Spotify!\\xa0(for free!)\\xa0https://spoti.fi/2Dyy41d\\n\\nTimesuck is brought to you by the following\\xa0sponsors:\\n\\nThe Thrilling Adventure Hour Podcast!
