#6 The Davidians - David Koresh
Although many think that David Koresh founded the Davidians he was in fact a successor to the person who did who was Lois Roden. Koresh and Roden met after he had been asked to leave a regular Christian church. The two had an affair and Roden named Koresh as the new leader. Part of the doctrine included that Koresh had access to all the women in the cult as well as the children for sexual pleasure. The cult ended in 1993 after a shoot-out with federal agents in Waco Texas which rendered 80 members dead. Koresh also died.
