#31- Bride of Christ Church (Holy Rollers Cult)
In the early 1900's a German immigrant arrives in Corvallis, OR and begins a church. His beliefs and passion for his ministry attracted several well-respected families to join the church, but it wasn't long before the charming leader had pushed out all men, and drawn all the women very close. Soon the women were cutting ties with their families, and rumors swirled of "purification" rituals involving sexual encounters with the leader, causing the husbands, fathers and brothers to plot their revenge.
