Cult leader, Tony Alamo, of the Tony Alamo Christian Ministries (formerly Alamo Christian Foundation) has been in the news quite a bit lately. In fact, he was just arrested this week. Like fellow cult leader, Warren Jeffs, of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS), Alamo’s arrest is allegedly related to charges of sexual misconduct with minors.
Captured in this must see YouTube video, Julie Banderas of the Fox News Channel did a great job interviewing Alamo:
Alamo is notorious for among other things having kept his wife “on ice” for quite a while after her death in 1982. Interestingly, according to the Washington Times, Bill Clinton alludes to this incident about Alamo in his auto-biography, My Life:
“A couple of years later, he got involved with a younger woman. Lo and behold, God spoke to him again and told him Susan wasn't coming back after all, so he took her out of the glass box and buried her."
Cults expert, James Walker, President of Watchman Fellowship, gives this brief synopsis of Alamo’s beliefs in his recently published book, The Concise Guide to Today’s Religions and Spirituality:
“Tony Alamo, leader of this group, has been imprisoned by authorities for alleged illegal activities. Teaches traditional Christianity is dead. Former followers have reported deplorable living conditions, mind control, and slave labor. Operates Music Square Church in TN, Holiness Tabernacle in Dyer, AR, and End Times Book is the publishing arm.”

The sickening part about the whole thing is not only child abuse but also defamation of Christ's name by Alamo calling himself Christian and associating Christ's name with his horrible child abuse and polygamous activities.
