The German Preacher & his Devoted Brides - ObsoleteOddity

#cult #HolyRollers #brainwashing
In 1903, Edmund Creffield,
a thirty-three-year-old
immigrant from Germany and
former Salvation Army captain,
persuaded about twenty Salvation Army
soldiers in Corvallis to join his
newly founded church, the 'Brides of Christ'.
Creffield prophesied that
one of his followers
was destined to be the
mother of the second Christ,
but to find out which one,
he needed to purify them;
this he did by laying his hands on them...
actually all over them.

Oh my word, my husband and I just went on a holiday early June and we went through a town named Jonestown. I said ‘don’t drink the kool-aid’ and laughed. My husband didn’t get the joke. I had to explain from start to finish. He was shocked. I was gobsmacked that he never knew of it!

Of course he "laid" his hands ALL over them. Cult leaders are so predictable 🙄. They should really get some new material. Thanks for the video:)

They don't need new material. The old stale one works just fine on the gullible, weak and mentally/emotionally unstable.

[@TheKulu42]

Sounds like cults are nothing new. I've never heard of this case and I enjoyed your presentation. And I'm wondering, too, how Creffield and his followers supported themselves financially.

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Glad you enjoyed it!

What a story!! As usual it was brilliantly told ,Oddie! Creffield left a wake of tragedy, didn't he? Thanks again for all your hard work and lovely storytelling!

[@2EternityButterflies]

It is amazing what people will do and who they will follow. Sometimes people will come into these things innocently. Trouble is we get brainwashed. It can take years to break away and feel whole again. Very interesting story. Not familiar with the cult in Sweden but will check it out. Thanks so much Oddie.

[@ObsoleteOddity]

So glad you enjoyed the presentation - very much appreciated 😊

[@jenniferroach4153]

My aunt was in a cult for a while back in the 60’s. She ended up in California from Virginia. What made her leave was giving birth to a baby that passed away and non of them seemed to care about what an affect it had on her. She called my grandparents and they got her home. She was never the same after. I think she was looking for self worth, and the loss of a child brought her back to reality. Cults are powerful because of weak people searching for something that just isn’t in someone else.

[@amsodoneworkingnow1978]

I can't believe that people who had actually been isolationist as speaking in younger and spiritual hysterics were and are crowned upon. Even today any idea of sexual activity unless with partner always ends in them being required to retain from wearing uniform. Such a wicked situation

[@kayboy6055]

could it be that in 1906 these women were leaving shitty lives and husbands but the townsfolk (largely led at the time, by these same men) just couldn't handle the fact their women wanted a fucking divorce. Its evident by the fact that the jury found it completely find to come to a verdict of not guilty vs not guilty by insanity, for the same crime, done within the same atmosphere.

[@empressoftheknownuniverse]

Hypnotic music, archival pictures, and newpaper clippings! You've upped your game quite admirably, Oddie. Astounding. 💙 Edit: the story itself was darkly fascinating and I've never heard of this one before.

Thank you Oddie! Excellent as always !!! I've met a friends daughter in Jim Jones cult! She survived the Kool Aid! Was in hiding from other cult members still alive! Their hit force! It was so sad to watch her hide! For years in fear! Keep on keeping on!!! Oddie and Oddette!😊😉🤗🎶💞

[@ObsoleteOddity]

😊 Much appreciated, thank you kindly! Fascinating! Thanks for sharing that.

[@cindycalderon455]

This is a fascinating story, one I had never heard about before. Seems a risky business to try to form a cult group comprised only of women for exactly the same reason as was played out here. The more followers gained, the more angry husbands & family members are also to be gained. While his demise was an expected result, this tale certainly had a unexpected twist there, didn't it? Loved the video, as always! Thank you, Oddie!

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Thanks for your interesting insights and positive feedback. much appreciated 😊

[@johnhagemeyer8578]

Oddie, I am living in Corvallis Oregon as I type this . I have been to all the places from Walport to Yahats to Newport and am from an Island just south of Vancouver BC and 50 miles north of Tacoma WA . This story gave me something to do this summer. I thank you most definitely 😁

[@ObsoleteOddity]

So glad it inspires you to check out some of those places John, thanks for your great feedback!

[@theartfulmage]

Creffield was a cult leader, plain and simple. The fact he had so much control over his followers, who were mostly vulnerable women, took advantage of their devotion, and the fact he established the belief in a so-called prophecy (a "sacred science" or "Ultimate Truth" according to Robert Jay Lifton's eight cult criteria) are telltale signs.

[@meganrae2508]

I think the reason for the “double standard” of the court is that it’s a super dangerous precedent to say that someone defending honor is a justified reason for murder. Finding her outright innocent would do that, so they had to do the insanity thing with a token stay for it.

[@Aerobear1313]

The cult you couldn't remember the name of was Heaven's Gate.

[@marthariddlegarcia2991]

This story is not new to me. I’ve heard it many times growing up, as I was born in Corvallis Oregon and have lived no more than 50 miles from there my whole life. Quite an interesting story. Thank you for Oddy for narrating this one like only you can do. Much respect.

[@thenixx996]

Marshal Applewhite I think was Heaven's Gate where a whole bunch of them killed themselves so that their souls would go join the aliens...

[@maryann5569]

Thank you for this excellent telling of an Oregon story. I have lived in Salem for over 60 years and have never heard this fascinating tale. I’m impressed with your pronunciation of the Oregon place names, especially Yachats (except for Yaquina. It’s ya-quin-ah, with a short i sound, not queen). Thanks for sharing!

[@jackpayne4658]

This tale reminds me strongly of Ted Hughes' 'Gaudete'. In that book, an ordinary Church of England vicar is abducted by spirits into another world, but a replacement vicar is made out of a log of wood. This new vicar interprets the 'religion of love' in a similar way to Edmund Creffield, and ends up in much the same way. (Meanwhile, the original vicar returns as a changed man - but that's another story.)

[@torijo6297]

You’re thinking of the Heaven’s Gate cult let by Bonnie Nettles and Marshall Applewhite. California circa 1996.

Showing my age (or lack of!) here but Waco is the first news story I ever remember. I remember the news headline said, “He thought he was Jesus” and the picture was the building on fire… been an interest of mine ever since. Great video as always!

[@kathleenadams4978]

The whole thing could've been avoided. David Koresh went jogging alone every morning. The feds could've just arrested the guy, instead of burning down his compound, and causing the deaths of so many people. What a nasty stain on the US government.

[@ObsoleteOddity]

I'm so sorry to hear that, hope she's feeling better soon.

[@themysteriousdomainmoviepalace]

This was great Oddy! I don't know how I missed it. As for Waco, apparently Koresh was known around town and the police could have picked him numerous times for questioning or whatever, but the ATF needed funding and decided to attack the Branch Dividians and make a big case out of it to get the money. One old documentar said that the cildren were laid out in a circle as if there was some occult rutual at the end. Wouldn't surprise me. Would you do a video about Grace Kelly and the Solar Cult? That is a very intiguing mystery. And I have know women who want to be in cults. Just can't find one!

[@ObsoleteOddity]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the tip, I might look into that - I knew about the Solar Temple cult, and did intend to cover them alone as a subject, but the connection is interesting.

[@themysteriousdomainmoviepalace]

@@ObsoleteOddity Its really interesting too that soon after Grace's mysterious death was when the murders in Quebec happened. Also, its pretty obvious when see her that Princess Stephanie is trans and that may be part of the religion. She was in the car with Grace when it crashed but survived.

[@chanel58style70]

Cults will continue as long as there are people who need to feel like they belong to something greater than themselves. To overcome loneliness , disappointment, etc. The word “cult” itself leaves a negative impression. I don’t understand why people in one of the biggest cults in the US, maybe the world, refuse to see what’s going on. It scares the hell out of me!!
