Title: "The End Of The World Cult: Michael Travesser"

Start of blog.

Michael Travesser says he’s the Messiah and that God has told him the world will end with an apocalyptic event at midnight on 31 October 2007.

As leader of a cult in a remote corner of New Mexico called Strong City, this 66-year-old former sailor, previously called Wayne Bent, has spent nearly 20 years preparing his 56 unquestioning and devoted followers for Doomsday. They say they are all preparing for death, to go to a better place.

In this Channel 4 program, filmmaker Ben Anthony goes into the heart of the cult to discover how Michael exerts his influence. He hears teenage girls talking about desiring sex with their leader, discovers that this sexual activity extended to Travesser’s own daughter-in-law, and meets parents who have left the cult and are desperately trying to prise their children from his grip. Strong City has come to the attention of the FBI, who are keeping a watchful eye on the group.

As the program delves into the world of Strong City, Ben Anthony asks whether Michael Travesser is about to lead his cult to suicide. Will this be another tragedy like Jonestown or Waco? Or is Travesser just a skillful manipulator, who undermines his subjects before convincing them that he is the route to all wisdom? Our world did not come to an end on 31 October 2007 – but did theirs?

My Thoughts..

For starters I know that the true definition of the word 'cult' is taken from the Latin word Cultis which is simply defined as "worship". It also stands for "culture" and "cultivation". But when it comes to 'this' group- the Travesser group- then they just may simply 'redefine' the word- no thanks to their animalistic instincts and animalistic actions.

It is interesting how more controversial groups are looming through the seams of concrete walls. The concrete walls are the delusions that some people have about living in a 'peaceful society with basic values'. They are shocked when they hear of groups like the Travesser group- a group with sexual abuse allegations, the "FLDS" polygamy church- another group with alleged sexual abuse or "The Family"- yet another group of alleged abuse or "The House of Yehweh"- even another polygamous group of alleged abuse. They are shocked and puzzled because they feel now that they have to change their thinking. This is no longer as 'Plain Jane' a world as it once was. The only thinking that anybody has to change is the naive idea that there are 'only' five basic religions out there- Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Buddhism.

When groups like the Travesser group- a sex group like the Manson Family when it comes to the sex between "God and women"- PLUS an added pinch & twist of underage sexual situations between God and little girls, this will disgust anyone with any logical and sane sense. Only those who think with their glands and hormones will think otherwise, once they cross 'the line' of experiencing 'euphoric sexual bliss' unlike any other- a similar testimony mentioned by some serial killers and necropheliacs. They would call it "the point of no return". They would mention that once they 'crossed the line' there was no coming back and they were hooked. On the Travesser website it gives a disclaimer that gives strong warning to those under 18 and with emotional problems NOT to enter. The disclaimer also mentions to people to "get a life" if they respond negatively with hostility and also adds: "these are only words- you don't have to read them".. I did not proceed beyond the warning. The URL with this warning, if you doubt my statement is:

In a society that thrives on sex, orgies and beastiality in some cultures the sad fact remains- there are plenty of more groups where they came from. As "mind blowing orgasms" become the new norm, the psychological version of 'cocaine'  or 'crack', it seems to be quite apparent painfully obvious that the sex drive is, ever so faster, creeping into the religious fold. Religious converts or gurus know that they can no longer contain their urges in strict setting environments. Therefore they create their own little obscure or prevalent utopias of sexual bliss by taking some bible texts 'out of context' and tying them together with other texts. Different interpretations of an abnormal idea become transformed into a seemingly normal idea. The guru may say to his or her followers that "if the world think that 'it' is evil, then chances are that it is not". That is part true- depending on where you apply that verse.

As more and more of these polygamous groups and other brands of movements begin to grow and flourish among the secular and orthodox religious landscapes, three options may have to transpire.

(1): The secular society, known as "the Babylonian empire" to some groups, may have to make new laws accepting such groups and practices as 'now acceptable'.

OR

(2): Constant surveillance and infiltration of the selected groups.

OR

(3): Flush out the groups completely from the landscape through massive arrests or even gun fire.

Not many people like the latter option since it takes away the freedom of rights and violates certain constitutions. It seems likely that the latter option may transpire if sexually abusive or sexually manipulative groups begin to rise like dandy lions in a freshly mowed yard. Some of us should ask ourselves the question "Is God a pervert?" or "Is Satan the pervert?". When we see controversies with child molesting priests in the Catholic Church and the child molesting elders in the Jehovah's Witnesses, we have to conclude with the second option - especially since some parties in both groups faced no disciplinary action, according to documentaries. 

Some believe that Travesser will cause the group to commit mass suicide. I would say that 'mass suicide' is a high probability. The group feels martyred now. That is a high sign to die rather than to surrender to 'the forces of Babylon'. Some call it 'death before dishonor'. If the Travesser group or Travesser himself commits suicide, then the logic behind that conclusive action would be simple, in his eyes and in the eyes of other similar gurus. If you take away their 'turn ons', you take away their 'euphoric sexual bliss'. If you take away their 'euphoric sexual' bliss then they have nothing to lose and therefor will end their life- no child fondling guru wants to enter a maximum security prison where they will end up consistently raped and then end up dead- once the inmates learn that the guru raped children.

I have heard of groups that are far out. People think and say that 'my' beliefs are far out. But nobody's actions and beliefs could be more far out than Michael Travesser the Undresser. The 'sexual revolution' has now officially moved its way into the religious world. This plague of the 'genital addiction' and 'genital idolatry', within the ranks of religious fringe groups repulses and turns those away from a true God to a more perverse God with an erection. It pays to research and divide right from wrong- to weigh the issues at hand and to weigh the pros and cons. If the cons outweigh the pros, then concrete decisions must be made and the person must take action or live with the ramifications of 'inaction'. 

From a spiritual stand point, Travesser is Satan incarnate who steals souls from the Kingdom of God. From a psychological standpoint, he most likely is mentally disturbed and physically he most likely is a sex addict. That, to me, sounds like a very 'human' God or Angel. If all of the accusations are true and not prefabricated by the media or by any disgruntled parties, then what we may have here is another example of a negative group with utmost rancor- another 'negative' addition to the world of cults that will not be able to escape its stain. If he is truly God or Michael the Arch Angel, then send many of us to Hell. Hordes of people, whether they believe in a higher power or not, will 'not' serve under a Messiah with genitals and an erection.
