There are militant white supremacist movements and strong, armed groups of polygamists. Some of the isolated white supremacist groups--particularly one in Wyoming--could turn into a "Jim Jones" situation. The polygamists exercise extremely strong control over their members, too. It could happen with either group.

It is expected that there are about 200 of such CULTS in the world at all times..... Like the Subway gas poison bunch in Japan....... The Falun Gong Cult in China and going World wide.

You must have the History Channel.
There will be plenty more instances of people submitting to the control of others. The most common one these days is the military. The religion? nationalism.

Oh I hope not! I don't remember anything about Guyana, but I remember Waco. I did just get through doing some research on Jim Jones and he was one freaky mofo!

There's that cult in Japan that put deadly gas into the subways - but I think they busted him and he's in jail. There will always be such cults.

There are a few... grab your list of what criteria make up a cult and watch. I'm already watching one organization myself...

Most likely yes, anytime men put their faith and trust in men and not God, this is a possibility.
