On this very day in 1993, a 51-day stand-off between the FBI and the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Unit and The Branch Davidians led by self-proclaimed messiah David Koresh finally came to an end in a blaze of flames that engulfed the entire Mount Carmel compound, the place the Branch Davidians called home. During this final siege, the FBI along with a armoured tank and tear gas tore through the compound and in the wake of th e siege, 76 members of this movement lost their lives. This number includes 20 children. There was a doomsday prophecy in place that members of the movement were waiting on to be fulfilled. The FBI was aware of this, along with Koresh’s surrender plan if this prophecy fell through. The siege happened anyway. Many claimed afterwards that steps should have been taken against Koresh long before this disastrous fallout. People focus often on the tragedies of these infamous events that are linked to cults without focusing on how these events manifested in the first place and how these environments were able to exist in the first place. Let’s use this as an example of why that needs to change. By looked at the bigger picture. By deep-diving into the subject of cults and coercion. #branchdavidians #sda #seventhdayadventist #seventhdayadventistchurch #davidkoresh #cultleader #mountcarmel #waco #wacosiege #cults #cult #cultawareness #cultpodcast #podcasthost https://www.instagram.com/p/CcjEFadI7mp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Waco: Apocalypse in Texas -On April 19, 1993, a fire broke out at Mt. Carmel in Waco, Texas, killing 76 people. This was at the end of a 51 day standoff between the Branch Davidians and the ATF. -The Branch Davidians were a religious cult formed in 1955 by Victor Houteff. Following Houteff’s death, his wife, Florence took over. In 1957, She sold the original property and moved the organization to Elk, Texas. After Florence failed to correctly predict Apocalyptic events in 1959, she sold the property to George Rhoden. In 1981, a young David Koresh, then known as Vernon Howell, visited Mount Carmel and began studying bible prophecy under Lois Roden. -The Waco siege began on February 28th, 1993, when the ATF acted on a search warrant for suspected illegal weapons. Gunfire erupted between Davidians and ATF members, killing four government agents and six Davidians. On April 19, 1993, a fire broke out at Mount Carmel, and the cause of the fire is still heavily debated. This fire would end up killing 76 Branch Davidians, as well as David Koresh.
