Level 3 · 3 mo agoLmao Koresh actually convinced these guys that God wanted him to take all their wives and groom minors. And they just LET him do it. Pure stupidity.

Level 6 · 3 mo agoDid you catch the part about the spiritual wives? Koresh was just a massive creep using religion to sleep around. He literally broke up couples so he could claim the women for himself. Total scumbag.
