Tony Alamo was a cult leader in televangelists who founded Tony Alamo Christian Ministries

with his wife Susan and Hollywood in the late 1960s and built a compound just north of

Los Angeles in August, then built a huge compound in Arkansas, basically taken over in entire

town with various Alamo businesses in the 1980s.

Susan Alamo thought that God spoke to her.

When she died, Tony claimed that Susan spoke to him on behalf of God.

Makes sense.

I've got did talk to these two.

He told them to do a lot of wicked shit.

Tony Alamo Christian Ministries was at the center of a number of lawsuits and government

actions.

And Tony was jailed numerous times on a variety of charges, including income tax evasion,

the theft of his late wife's body and taking numerous underage girls across state lines

for sex.

The con artist and eventual polygamist started off wanting to be a pop star.

He met another con artist in Hollywood in a bar and found out that a lot of money could

be made in religion.

And Tony and Susan did make a lot of money.

They made tens of millions of dollars out their followers had their own TV show became

friends with celebrities.

And then it all came crashing down the rise and fall of Tony Alamo's cult today on another

cult, cult, cult edition of Time Suck.
