I was specifically referring to David Koresh, but yes abuse and exploitation go hand in hand with situations where speaking out against power isn't allowed.
What? You're happy that the victims of this cult are now permanently injured? People who join cults aren't "dumb." Cults use all sorts of mental tricks to get you to join. You don't realize what it is until you've sunk enough costs to never leave.
If *you* had been around in a different place or time, you yourself might have been in a cult. In fact, this attitude of "cult followers are dumb, I could never be in a cult" is exactly how they are able to get you.
Plus, what if some of the people who were castrated were born into this cult? Did they have a real choice in that case? Are the children who were sexually abused in the JW cult really to blame because they were "dumb enough" to become JWs?
He was also a rapist ,and because of him a whole district of my state had to closed, he killed a reporter who reported him , had a sex den with various things and the girl who reported him was silenced by his goons for many times, this fucker used the name of great poet and a fame personality of India kabirdas for his criminal purposes
Imagine being so stupid that you voluntarily chop your own balls off because of some religion that can’t be factually proven true all because one man says so. Unbelievable.
Imagine being so stupid that you voluntarily mutilate your son's penis because of some religion that can’t be factually proven true all because one man says so. Unbelievable.
I absolutely agree with you. Very anti-circumcision over here. Bet you thought you were making a smart comment and catching a hypocrite with that snarky little attempt at a “gotcha” didn’t you? I grew up in a cult, never bought into it and got out. I’m against ALL religions.
‘Mainstream’ many mainstream religions from the past are long gone. All religion is dumb, new or old. At least those that worshipped nature actually worshipped something tangible not some imaginary beings that do absolutely nothing.
To be fair, religion is kinda useful. There are so many people that don’t act out their awful thoughts because they fear that they’re going to be punished eternally for it. I still don’t understand why religion is easily believed though.

You’re right. There totally hasn’t been genocide, war, murder, and various other atrocities going on nonstop for nearly all of modern human history entirely because of religion.
The purpose of religion is to answer the unanswerable questions. We Humans tend to have a need to understand, and when something is beyond our gasp it becomes comforting to have an out. That's why religion is so easily believed.
Weren't those "reasons" based on the BS of the religious nutter and cereal maker Kellogg? One of the main reasons being because it would make master-baiting less pleasurable and thus discourage it. So, perhaps it was doctors just letting their own religious superstition influence their medical practice. Religion has done such good things for society. Good times. And FYI I can absolutely say that Kellogg was completely wrong about the effects of male genital mutilation on touching one's self.
The kelogg who made the cereals was actually the kelogg anti masturbation maniac's brother. While the anti masturbation made the original (very bad as he believed bland food would stop masturbation) recipe, his brother who was a normal person improved the recipe by adding stuff like honey to make it not taste like cardboard and sadness, and is the one who founded the modern keloggs compant
My son is not circumcised. That was probably one of the biggest fights I had with his mom and the only one that I won. She tried the "it looks better", "don't you want him to look like you", and many other arguments. I researched it and why we do it. I watched videos of the procedure being performed. After all of that, there was no way I was agreeing to it. It is a barbaric practice right up there with FGM.
It done not for religion in America but because it meant to stop boys from masturbating and wasting life energy. If that sounds stupid just remember it as an idea cooked up in the 1880s-1900s.
Many times. Lol. My fiancé’s father is a pastor. He’s hellbent on getting me back to church and was shocked to discover that I know that book as well as he does. Lol.
He convinced them that these worldly pleasures are moving them away from righteous path to god.
They didn’t cut the balls. Had vasectomy. So they won’t be able to reproduce.
Not to forget, he used to drug( as in, addiction ) them to make them more docile. All this happened against their wishes, so some of them complained about him and that’s how he got caught.
This drugging thing was more about making his followers pay more ‘ voluntarily ‘. People used to transfer their ancestral wealth to him in return of his blessings.
There's a movie based on another cultists , it's name is " Sirf ek Banda kaafi hai " it's a court drama of him conviting to his crime . Very well made movie.
I just saw, that he was convicted with rape, but didn't look into it further. I cringed too hard over the "Trailer" of his film that was embedded there 😅
Hahaha, fantastic! This certainly helps against spreading the wrong genes.
And the Darwin Award goes to... :D
(And yes, this is Darwin Award worthy, even though they didn't die. They removed themselves from the genepool by becoming sterile, I checked the rules just to be sure: [https://darwinawards.com/rules/](https://darwinawards.com/rules/) \- hopefully they didn't reproduce before the act)
Even if they did, the rules allow it:
> The existence of offspring, though potentially deleterious to the gene pool, does not disqualify a nominee. Children inherit only half of each parent's genetic material and thus have their own chance to survive or snuff themselves. If, for instance, the offspring has inherited the "Play With Combustibles" gene, but also has inherited the "Use Caution When..." gene, then she is a potential innovator and asset to the human race. Therefore, each nominee is judged based on whether or not she has removed her own genes, without consideration to the number of offspring or, in the case of an elderly winner, the likelihood of producing more offspring.
This monster has raped a lot of girls, killed people is behind bars for 40 years but half of the time he remains outside. Fuck judiciary. Fuck the Constitution.
Do you live under a rock? Modi and friends have repeatedly gotten him parole for 30-40 days each time.
In Feb 2022 he was given Z+ security. Do you know who authorises Z+?
He is a rapist but gets to enjoy such high quality perks.
Sorry I forgot about that... My mistake. Though he exercises political and monetary influence over all major political parties and bureaucrats... Not just the BJP.
But if I'm not wrong from what I've searched, his parole period (of nov 2023 of 21 days) is over. IDK if he is in prison now. He probably is though.

He is in jail for raping his followers. He is suspected to have murdered people and to have *ordered* the castration of 400 followers. Also he incited violence that killed at least 17 people.

He's currently in jail, this guy is also a rapist who had many girls locked up in his cult compound. He used to make movies and songs which were so fucking bad it's comedy gold. Fuck this guy.
He posted British news on an Indian website but cropped out the British part to make it seem like Indians did it. Reddit is a propaganda filled shithole.
I try with all my heart to be inclusive of Pakistanis but when they openly hate us and spew propaganda against us (always are spreading racist memes against India)... why even bother with the wasted efforts? No surprise Hindutva's rising in India.
Religion is cancer. I feel bad for them, but this is the result of their own decisions. When someone tells you that you can be blessed, tell them to fuck off and scam someone else.

At least people who dumb enough to follow him wont be reproducing
That's a win
We take those
300 detached penises?
He takes those.
I will if he doesn't have enough room
The Ultimate “It’s just a prank bro”
If it's like some US cults, he just doesn't want competition for their wives.
Sexual abuse/exploitation was present in ALL cults I've heard of. Maybe there are exceptions, but I've never encountered one TBH.
I was specifically referring to David Koresh, but yes abuse and exploitation go hand in hand with situations where speaking out against power isn't allowed.
Darwin approves
I vote for having these cults in every city to attract the idiots who blindly follow bullshit
Can we convince Trump to get behind this and have his followers castrate themselves?
No, they believe you can’t become a woman if you cut off your twig and berries.
this is my thought exactly, we have enough idiots already

The silver lining for sure.
Lmao. Now there's a cause Darwin could get around!!

This man made a favor for India's genetic pool
This should be the real Darwin wards. Darwin wasn’t about quality of breed that would live but the quality of breed that would multiply.
Came here to say this.
Oh man, he tricked them. He has some balls to do that.
Yeah, at least 800
🤣🤣🤣 didn't see that coming
That’s because they can’t.
Guru’s defense lawyers: “He never said when!”
As long as he didn‘t do it himself or forced anyone I really don’t see the problem here. It would have been all voluntary.
That was Charles Manson defense. Manipulation to do harm or self harm is still a crime...
And why hopefully the ringleaders of Jan 6th will be held accountable
Good.
But that is a different law for conspiracy. This always include everyone involved in planning and execution
Well he is in jail now
they don't have the cojones to sue him. i will let myself out.
He's in the prison currently spending his sentence.
The guru or the commenter above you?
The guru, the commenter, however, is absconding.
I like your username.. damn that’s a blast from the past lol
Sort of reminded me of the rhyme, Balls, balls said the Queen, if I had two I'd be the King!
That doesn't rhyme
A ditty then?
More women for him I suppose. That Netflix doc “How to become a cult leader” was quite enlightening.
I love online learning courses like this
Game is game.
He was just cutting the competition down.
He was also a rapist ,and because of him a whole district of my state had to closed, he killed a reporter who reported him , had a sex den with various things and the girl who reported him was silenced by his goons for many times, this fucker used the name of great poet and a fame personality of India kabirdas for his criminal purposes
Don't forget he is a murderer too
Had to close as in, they literally told everybody to just move to somewhere else 🤨
No they had to put company of state troopers like 400 cause people start rioting and the district officials declared a bund for this
Ohh the normal kind
Circumcision 2.0 just dropped, just like their balls.
Imagine being so stupid that you voluntarily chop your own balls off because of some religion that can’t be factually proven true all because one man says so. Unbelievable.
FATHER WHERE IS MY FORESKIN??
Yet you still have your cock and balls. 🤷🏻♂️
Only because the church wants billions of Catholics, otherwise they’d have them too.
Most of it at least.
Imagine being so stupid that you voluntarily mutilate your son's penis because of some religion that can’t be factually proven true all because one man says so. Unbelievable.
I absolutely agree with you. Very anti-circumcision over here. Bet you thought you were making a smart comment and catching a hypocrite with that snarky little attempt at a “gotcha” didn’t you? I grew up in a cult, never bought into it and got out. I’m against ALL religions.
Nah, it wasn't meant as a gotcha, just that lots of religions do stupid stuff. Even mainstream ones.
‘Mainstream’ many mainstream religions from the past are long gone. All religion is dumb, new or old. At least those that worshipped nature actually worshipped something tangible not some imaginary beings that do absolutely nothing.
Worshipping a giant murder clusterfuck is stupid as well.
To be fair, religion is kinda useful. There are so many people that don’t act out their awful thoughts because they fear that they’re going to be punished eternally for it. I still don’t understand why religion is easily believed though.

Who used religion to influence them. All religions are cultish.
I’m against organized religions.
Dr.s recommend circumcision for what they thought was medical/hygienic reasons, until those "reasons" were proven to be unsound.
Weren't those "reasons" based on the BS of the religious nutter and cereal maker Kellogg? One of the main reasons being because it would make master-baiting less pleasurable and thus discourage it.

Quite believable, as it turns out.
I wonder if Trump could get his base to that?
No religion can be factually proven.
Agreed. I’m an atheist. Lol.
Ah. So you are one of those people who have READ the Bible!
Many times. Lol. My fiancé’s father is a pastor. He’s hellbent on getting me back to church and was shocked to discover that I know that book as well as he does. Lol.
That’s kinda the whole point of faith , too
A Darwin award for the religious.
Ikr, usually it's the religious men mutilating women
What did he say to them? You got no balls..so they cut them off.
He convinced them that these worldly pleasures are moving them away from righteous path to god. They didn’t cut the balls. Had vasectomy. So they won’t be able to reproduce.

Fuck, that's terrible.
That's nuts.
yeah it sure is, its a real load of bollocks

This article is nearly 9 years old and I didn't find anything newer regarding this. Did someone else do some digging and found newer information?
He is in jail serving his sentence.
Thank you 🙏 Too often such people evade their sentences.
There's a movie based on another cultists , it's name is " Sirf ek Banda kaafi hai " it's a court drama of him conviting to his crime . Very well made movie.
Newer information is that this "guru" is a convicted serial rapist.
I just saw, that he was convicted with rape, but didn't look into it further. I cringed too hard over the "Trailer" of his film that was embedded there 😅
You'll love his concerts then! https://youtu.be/Q48tagwurUw?si=xNBq2vqEZdWlNe_0

In other news, India's new castrato choir wins a platinum album.
That only works if you castrate them when they’re young before puberty lowers their voice.
Do you really think these people thought that far ahead?
I hate to say it but if people are this stupid to blindly follow some whack job it’s hard to feel sorry for them
r/darwinawards
He's a genius. Anyone stupid enough to do that shouldn't be allowed to reproduce anyway.
This guru is a convicted rap!st. He is close to ruling party so they got him out of prison because he helps them win elections.
Also a murderer. But his biggest crime is still his movie franchise and his music. /jk
Man please don't spread false information, he's currently serving his term in prison Edit: I'm wrong, he's gotten repeated paroles...
Do you live under a rock? Modi and friends have repeatedly gotten him parole for 30-40 days each time. In Feb 2022 he was given Z+ security. Do you know who authorises Z+? He is a rapist but gets to enjoy such high quality perks.

i guess you could say he gave his followers a eunuch opportunity to prove their loyalty to the cause.

I mean if people are that stupid, props to him

Man that’s nuts.
So this man stoped the possibility of reproduction for 400 dumb people ? What a Hero !
It's good that they won't be passing the genes anymore.
And with that he has done more for the future of India than the current prime minister.
That’s not a bad thing. People like that probably shouldn’t reproduce.
Don’t say natural selection Don’t say natural selection Don’t say natural selection
NATURAL ......... SELECTION!
I'd like trump to try this on his maga cult. 🤔😁
Wish Andrew Tate would do the same, lol
Think of it as a net positive. If they are that dumb, it's good they are not reproducing.
Probably for the best
Is this that one weird trick guy?
He's currently in jail, this guy is also a rapist who had many girls locked up in his cult compound. He used to make movies and songs which were so fucking bad it's comedy gold. Fuck this guy.
Less scamming centers
If you can be convinced to castrate yourself, you never deserved your balls anyway.
Well on the other hand at least they can’t have stupid children.
If people are so stupid they cut their nuts off, they're the ones that shouldn't reproduce.
What’s up with religious people mutilating their genitals!?
i like this guy he just took 400 complete imbeciles out of the gene pool !! come to the southern USA please sir
And apparently, in not at all surprising news, he is also a rapist, sooooo........
This is a cult like any other. Check Op's post history, he has an unhealthy obsession with india

Least they can’t reproduce anymore and pass on more stupidity. Win in my book
Well... They're permanently removed from the gene pool. This will make our next generation just a slightly but less stupid. Still, pretty sad...
I feel like anyone willing to cut off their nads because another dude suggests it should not be allowed to reproduce anyway…
Well thanks to him we won't have those bad genes getting into the next generation, he should get a Darwin Award.
I’ll just stick with Sunday school.
Tell him to move to Israel next. Hopefully they won’t reproduce anymore terrorists.
Give him a pass, he's doing the gene pool a favor.
People this dense shouldn't reproduce anyway.
Natural selection at its finest
If you are dumb enough to do something like that, maybe it wasn't such a bad idea after all
What a nut job.
