A manual David, though this piece of shit hasn't gone down in the historical record like other more notable co-leaders

Not your Jim Jones not your David Kresh

He was a delusional and destructive zealot just like those other guys were

A manual Dave was born in the late 1930s to seemingly normal parents

Had what may have been a great childhood and then not long after converting to Mormonism as a young adult

He started embracing its teachings with a zeal that was off putting to many of his fellow members

manual David born Charles Bruce Longo would soon twist and warp the teachings of his new religion into thinking

He should be the church leader and then the LDS church would excommunicate him for that

And then a manual David created his own church

Went off to live on a communal compound where a group of people including his wife Rachel and their seven children would worship him as a god

And true cult leader fashion

He gave his followers biblical names and tricked them into giving him money while they all waited for the US government and the LDS

Church to collapse and then for a manual to rise up out of the ashes and lead a new church

Which of course never happened and then it all came to an end in 1978 at least for a manual David and his family in a very dramatic and horrifying way

Time for another story today about a delusional and power hungry and manipulative meat sack and the people who followed him

Will also get into some of the fringe your aspects of Mormonism

Theological beginnings and meet some other fundamentalists who were just as crazy if not crazier than a manual

Going over a lot of very wild and interesting history today on a messionic

Have you heard the good news run away from these people as fast as you can edition of time suck

This is Michael McDonald and you're listening to time suck

You're listening to time suck

Happy Monday and hail Nimrod meat sacks work and wait it is time for time suck time for the cult to the curious to meet back up
