Summary

The Kirtland Cult were an offshoot of an offshoot that broke away from the Reorganised Church of Latter Day Saints in 1987. Like most cults they were led by a single-minded, self-appointed, narcissistic leader - Jeff Lundgren - who demanded absolute control of his followers; exploiting them psychologically, sexually and financially. Soon after the group moved onto a remote compound in Kirtland, Ohio the stockpiling and the paranoia began - and it would end in the brutal murder of a family of 5.

0:24.2	you can do that by coming to the Harman Town Show. We'll put a link to where you can buy tickets
0:30.0	in the description of the show because I have absolutely no idea where it is because LA is very

0:39.2	in LA and to be hanging out with Dan Harman and to be on Harman Town, so come hang out too.
0:44.5	Oh, also, if you want to take your mother's day to your mother's day, if you want to take your mother's day,
