The Most Outrageous Cult You’ve Never Heard of: A Beheading and Circumcisions in the Nation of Yahweh
After a 1986 double-murder, the Miami-based Nation of Yahweh was at risk of losing its good name among city leaders, who saw the religious sect as champions for the poor.
When police showed up at the crime scene, a suspect found hiding nearby wore the familiar white turban of the sect’s members. Prior to the slayings, one of the victims had criticized the group on TV after they bought the apartment building in which he lived and then evicted him. He and another neighbor in the building both were fatally shot.
