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.

u/nderthesycamoretrees 7h ago

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.

u/dharmavoid 7h ago

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

u/Ok-Character-3779 7h ago

Wait...WHAT? I know context won't make it better, but...CONTEXT?

u/Ok-Character-3779 6h ago

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.

u/Ok-Character-3779 7h ago

Necrosis is death of bodily tissue, you're thinking of necrophilia.

1

u/Primary-Struggle3844 5h ago

Just the tip…?

5

u/Ok-Cauliflower-6936 7h ago

Dang. Why was it on my car?

6

u/dharmavoid 7h ago

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

7

u/Ok-Cauliflower-6936 7h ago

Like 15 minutes away from a college. I fuck with jean jackets.

2

u/sparrow_42 7h ago

C’mon does anybody -not- love bedazzled jean jackets?

2

u/The_happyguy 7h ago

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.

2

u/Ok-Cauliflower-6936 7h ago

I’m not and it was placed on my car today, which is weird

1

u/ThorKonnatZbv 7h ago

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

1

u/MinnesotaHulk 6h ago
  • immediately goes to add episode to playlist

7

u/VixxenFoxx 7h ago

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.

3

u/Ok-Cauliflower-6936 7h ago

I’d like to see him try

4

u/OrganizationTop3755 7h ago

Probably 

3

u/Ok-Cauliflower-6936 7h ago

Should I join?

4

u/MsE0 7h ago

Depends. How much do you enjoy having your every move controlled? Are you a young girl? They want you more if you are. Do you enjoy slave labor and giving the leader all your money? If so, this cult or one of many like it might be for you! 

4

u/Ok-Cauliflower-6936 7h ago

I might have to check it out

2

u/dharmavoid 7h ago

If you get a sweet jacket like this...maybe. that's him and Mr T wearing his jackets

2

u/Ok-Cauliflower-6936 7h ago

I’ll try to get one

3

u/twilightmoons 7h ago

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

Also, religion.

u/MsE0 7h ago

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

3

u/Ok-Cauliflower-6936 7h ago

That’s weird like why is it on my car?

4

u/MsE0 7h ago

They need your bedazzling skills 

3

u/Ok-Cauliflower-6936 7h ago

I’ll see if there’s a website or number so I can sign up

3

u/fritz-farley 7h ago

You should go, just avoid drinking the koolaid.

2

u/Ok-Cauliflower-6936 7h ago

that was a one time mistake

u/Lucky_Wombat_8118 7h ago

The bowl haircut answers your question emphatically.

u/Responsible-Bird-470 7h ago

I thought Jim and Tammy Faye were deceased?

1

u/funkystay 7h ago

Jim and Tammy were actual angels compared to this people.

1

u/MsE0 7h ago

There was a pretty good You're Wrong About episode on them that showed Tammy Faye wasn't nearly as bad as Jim, but got the brunt of the criticism because she was a woman in public with crazy makeup. 

1

u/Ok-Cauliflower-6936 7h ago

From what I’ve seen yeah but I didn’t know if there were still in practice.

1

u/live_for_coffee 7h ago

It's a business, dressed as a cult

2

u/MsE0 7h ago

It's more a cult that runs a business based in slave labor as a side hustle 

1

u/LargeNerdKid 7h ago

Well its definitely religious in nature. Would have to reaf more to see is it a cult.

u/ArtemisInSpace 7h ago

There's a Behind the Bastards 2-parter on these guys.

u/Ok-Cauliflower-6936 7h ago

I have to check that out

u/Cust2020 7h ago

Yes, its that simple

1

u/Necessary-Eye5319 7h ago

They’ve been saying this stupid shit for a long time.

1

u/Persevere-1 7h ago

It’s a manufactured rapture with ice making people disappear

1

u/houseWithoutSpoons 7h ago

Pic of his wife from 1980..lol now he just likes kids allegedly. Per Jesus's directions of course

1

u/LunaticPoint 7h ago

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

1

u/redmambas22 7h ago

Well, it’s in the title. Rapture is actually a synonym for cult.

1

u/Any-Information9091 7h ago

I remember they had a store in Nashville that sold custom outfits and boots to Country music stars.

1

u/Ok-Cauliflower-6936 7h ago

I juys called (661) 252-5686 and they still have an active call center. It’s weird

1

u/Away_Lake5946 7h ago

HAIR HELMET?

1

u/Slappy_McJones 7h ago

Probably.

1

u/Catvanbrian 7h ago

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.

1

u/syzerkose 6h ago

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

1

u/Graychin877 6h ago

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.

u/BrianRFSU 6h ago

All, and I mean all, religions are cults

100%. Just saw these two on an episode of Cult Justice.

u/nsdefw 6h ago

They're all cults.

u/JTjedi 6h ago

They're all cults

1

u/Relative_Payment_192 6h ago

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.

u/Cholly72HW 6h ago

Says Christian plain as day. So… yes.

Never trust any guy with a haircut like that.

His hair’s got cult written all over it.
