The Sounds of American Doomsday Cults




Audio recording of a 1984 religious service of The Church Universal and Triumphant, an American based cult once led by Elizabeth Clare Prophet. Originally a mix of eastern religion, Christianity, and new age beliefs, during the 1980's Prophet began predicting a nuclear war was  going to break out between the U.S. and Russia, and as a result, the cult began to move more and more towards survivalism. The group eventually purchased a tract of land in Montana which they developed into a compound complete with underground shelters that the cult members believed would allow them to survive the coming nuclear holocaust. The followers had all sorts of wacky beliefs involving UFOs and something called "the international capitalist communist conspiracy", but by far the two funniest things about the cult are the way that they talk really, really fast like the guy who used to do the old Micro Machines commercials when they pray and their firm belief in the evils of rock music. The list of musicians/bands that the group prays will see the light and quit their wicked ways is so completely all over the map that it is astounding.

Yay! Free Movies

As the world slowly slips into a real life Mad Max 2 situation (Pray to God that it doesn't reach Thunderdome level), you are probably hoarding all your money Scrooge McDuck style or you have lost your job and thus have a lot of free time on your hands. Well, today is your lucky day. Check out www.filmhill.com and watch high quality copies (i.e. none of the shot on camcorder shit that all the little Chinese women try to sell you in NYC) of all the recent movies that you were too cheap to see in the theater this year. There is no download or registration required. Enjoy! 

(If neither of these situations apply to you, you are probably really rich. In that case you should be doing cocaine laced with flecks of pure gold off of the ass of the ass of the Brazilian super model that you just bought, not reading a stupid blog. What is wrong with you?)
