190: Cult: Alamo Christian Foundation- Part 1

[Part 1 of 2]

In the late 1960's, Hollywood Boulevard was filled with people carrying flyers that said "Repent or Perish." These people were members of The Alamo Christian Foundation, a ministry led by husband and wife, Tony and Susan Alamo. The two called themselves prophets and said that God spoke directly to them. What started as a chance meeting in a bar led to the formation of one of the most notorious cults in America. To many onlookers, the "foundation" just appeared to be a strange type of ministry. Little did they know that behind closed doors and away from the cameras, there was rampant physical assaults, child abuse, sexual abuse, and child pornography. The man who stood at the head of the foundation and referred to himself as the "teflon pastor" soon dug his own grave and unraveled in front of America, with no one to blame but himself.
