In this episode, we examine the chilling history of the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God, a Ugandan doomsday cult led by Credonia Mwerinde and Joseph Kibwetere. This group combined strict religious adherence with apocalyptic predictions, warning members to prepare for the end of the world. Daily life was marked by extreme control, fear of divine punishment, and unwavering loyalty to the leaders. We explore how their failed prophecies led to manipulation, desperation, and, ultimately, the horrific events of 2000, where hundreds of members perished in what is believed to have been mass murders disguised as a suicide pact.
