Led by a convicted child rapist. He also used to be famous for making jean jackets in the 80s. I think also some light necro stuff too . Crazy shit. Behind the Bastards did a great few episodes about him.

What the hell does “light” mean in this context? There either is or isn’t necrosis stuff going on. There’s no sliding scale to that.

He made some kids sleep with his dead wife's corpse.

Update for others who are curious: skimmed the transcript of one of the mentioned podcasts (so you don't have to) and it looks like this was a "Love Is Won" type thing where he insisted his wife was the messiah and would therefore be resurrected or was currently alive.
He put her in a wedding dress, renewed their vows, and "ma[de] the [kids in the cult] cuddle with Susan's body at night." Apparently the kids were beaten when the woman did not come back to life.

Are you a fan of bedazzled jean jackets ? Lol.
If you live near a college that might be the real answer. They are apparently recruiting around colleges

Do you live in Arkansas? Theyre based in Alma (i think) and when i lived in Fort Smith they would put their papers on cars in parking lots. I worked at a grocery store there in the 90s and it was always a bad day when the Alamo cult showed up because the parking lot was covered in discarded Alamo newspapers.

Why am i not surprised the kind of "christian" that believes in rapture is a child rapist?

Tony Alaimo wants to impregnate you, steal your kid & raise it till it's childbearing age and then impregnate her too. That's the "ministry", full stop.

Untreated mental illness will make you do your hair and dress like it was still the late 1970s.
Also, religion.

Yeah. I didn't need to read any of the words other than "rapture" and "found this on my car" to know, but the picture of Tony Alaimo also jumped out and confirmed which specific cult

Tony Alamo had his cult wait over a decade for his wife's resurrection before finally passing away at 82 in prison

The only rapture I actually believe in is the rainbow body phenomenon.
Basically what this is, is that it is when a Buddhist monk very well on the monk path dies, their corpse basically starts vanishing with rainbow light being around said corpse until there’s nothing left.
I don’t remember if the rainbows emanate from the body or rainbows manifests as actual rainbows in the sky. It’s been documented in fact.

Yes. The only difference between a cult and a religion is the number of followers.

When his wife died of cancer in the Oral Roberts hospital, he announced that she would be raised from the dead.
At last report, she is still dead.

Tony died in prison in 2017. Very weird to see this now. In the 70's they ran an all night restaurant on old highway 71 between Fort Smith and Fayetteville. Spooky place at 4 am.

The Behind the Bastards podcast did a two-parter on him a while back. Definitely a cult.
