A Month of Boring Things - Day Twenty-Six: Strong City

Strong City (or Lord Our Righteousness Church) is a cult in northern New Mexico led by Wayne Bent (who is now in prison for child molestation). They're no different, really, from a lot of end-of-days churches, except that rather than commit suicide on their Day of Judgment, a stranger, more pitiful thing occurred--something I can only describe as anti-climactic. Cults have a certain allure, so if you're interested in joining us, here is a brief online pamphlet (e-amphlet? ipamph?) worth considering.

There is a (relatively innocuous seeming) cult in my hometown that used to be called the Endtime Ministries, because they thought the end was coming. But then the day the guy had predicted as the end came and went so they just changed the name of the group. True story.
