Cults

There many cults in Dominican Republic, but one of them is doomsday or  was maybe here I have some informations about it.

Doomsday cult is an expression used to describe groups who believe in Apocalypticism and Millenarianism, and can refer both to groups that prophesy catastrophe and destruction, and to those that attempt to bring it about. The expression was first used by sociologist John Lofland in his 1966 study of a group of Unification Church members in California, Doomsday Cult: A Study of Conversion, Proselytization, and Maintenance of Faith. A classic study of a group with cataclysmic predictions had previously been performed by Leon Festinger and other researchers, and was published in his book When Prophecy Fails: A Social and Psychological Study of a Modern Group that Predicted the Destruction of the World. 

The authorities have arrested two more German suspected doomsday cult members over a deadly shootout earlier this week in this country. I'd certainly like to know more about why they were a Doomsday cult. So far we only have the police and media's word they were Doomsday.
