Hey everyone, just wanted let you know I have deleted the ad portion of the video. I was not aware of the controversies, and I really appreciate you for letting me know. I'm a huge advocate for therapy and medication to better mental health, and I would never want to steer anyone in the wrong direction when dealing with something so important. 🖤
Fact. The Christ was NOT born December 25th. That is the pagan winter solstice. Its a deep rabbit hole. You have to do the work yourself. My calculation is mid October. Probably the 14th
@@Brando_Magnifico You can't say that's a fact since you weren't there. He probably wasn't born then, but you can't say FACT. Also like... wow you sure showed those people who thought she was a prophet who all died 200 years ago.
@@FrenkTheJoy it is DEFINITELY a fact that Jesus Christ was not born in December. You do not have to be there in order for it to be a fact. Do a little research before you start trolling. It's ignorant
I have been going back and back and back ind these videoes for about 4 days, whenever i have had the time 😂 I always do this. Its so rare that i find such good storytellers.
Dang. Caspar Peter didn’t kill his sisters; he was a victim, really, having his wounds tended. I’m curious what each person was convicted of. Thanks for sharing this story. It’s truly fascinating.
I was born in Switzerland. I have lived here for 23 years. How have I never heard about Margareta or her cult? Also you did a good job with the pronunciation of the names and places.
And also remember this girl had been treated like a prophet since she a little kid. There last also a very real narcissistic personally disorder going on there. So yeah, there are a few reasons to feel sympathy for the woman. She was human, and I think that kind of idealization is a form of abuse. Now we know that letting a kid have everything they want isn’t good for their development, can you imagine going to your 6 or 8 year old sister for advice about your marriage? And even further, following said advice because you think it’s a message from God? There’s just so much to unpack in that whole situation. Sympathies all the way around, including for the father who beat his daughters to death because they told him too. Pretty twisted and definitely falls into the category of heinous.
@@Kaastengelsinteresting comment. It’s very judgmental. I’m not saying she was innocent, but I am saying if you are a Christian it is most definitely not ANY human’s place to judge another human. Part of being a Christian is realizing we are all flawed creatures and it is ONLY God’s place to judge. Stay in your lane.
I truly believe that the people who believe they're "chosen" or a "prophet" to this extreme are both severely mentally ill as well as either grow up being indoctrinated or discover religion and throw themselves entirely into it. It's so sad to hear about. But then the people who follow them so incredibly whole-heartedly absolutely baffles my mind. How would anyone, even being indoctrined themselves, be so incredibly gullible to follow someone to the extreme right down to killing?! You do an amazing job at bringing these stories to life Sommer!
I think it has a lot more going on than just being religious. If that’s all it took, there’d be a lot more people like this. Not that there aren’t all kinds of religious maniacs (I say this as a devout Christian who was formerly in a cult, so I’m well aware lol), but there’s always some degree of narcissism or Machiavellianism going on.
Our whole society, nearly every country, is based around telling people to obey the state when they tell you to kill people. Without such an institution states couldn't exist.
I'm a complete amateur, but I'd say there is something else psychological and spiritual going on that snags people into the cult - loneliness, fear, greed. Something that opens the door. I don't think people wind up like this just out of the blue - someone says they're a "prophet" etc. and WHAM! they believe!
I mean, there are multiple other delusions that lead up to that one...I see it more like an example of what happens when people brainwash children into believing in religious views from a young age. Margaretta was obviously very intelligent, but was presented with a completely delusional view of reality pretty much from birth so her intellect was warped to accommodate her beliefs.
Uncanny how an adult girl's delusions and religious terror is somehow still blamed on a father / man somehow. Every father thinks their children are special. So does every mother.
It seems that she was highly intelligent, but combine that intelligence with learning about "life" from the Bible before actually learning about actual real life, top that off with living in a Hamlet and a father insistent that everything you say is the word of God, then you're going to have problems.
You always wonder if any of these cult leaders ACTUALLY believe what they preach. Clearly, past cult leaders were power tripping on their ability to deceive others. Heavens Gate, and David koresh are different. But this case is so insane and their delusions are so scary.
They still do. Look at the trans movement. It's all about forcing ideas on others and trying to fill a void in themselves. All cults are predicated on the same things.
This woman was clearly having a psychotic episode, probably bought on by a mix of post-partum psychosis and guilt over the affair with Jacob. This doesn't even really sound like a cult in the way that we typically think of them just religious zealotry mixing with mental illness.
Love these historical cases. Her father filled her head with this nonsense from birth and created this deranged creature. Thank god he had the sense to take his son away that night. But he bears a great deal of this blame. But i also wonder what happened with her uncle too. She seems very changed by being brought to live with him. It seems more than by her new religion. Then losing her child seems to have tipped her over the edge. So distressing that people followed her madness so far.
For anyone struggling with mental health issues, we should never believe that medications, alone, can help us. I was raised by a psychologist, & surrounded by mental health professionals & to finally get sober, I needed therapy & meds. If you meet a psychiatrist (the dr that can prescribe the meds), & that dr doesn't encourage you to also try therapy, I wouldn't trust that dr. Its also really important to remember that therapist & drs are also human, & they may not meet your needs, for a variety of reasons. They not have the experience you need, which can be related to race, gender, class, etc. They may not known enough about addiction, or trauma & abuse. They may just be a bad fit for you, maybe your personality & theirs doesn't jive well. That's all normal, & you should just try a new one. Remember that you can & should advocate for yourself, ask questions. It saved my life, & the lives of many of my favorite people.
Agreed. Just talking helped me. The meds I had been prescribed, I did not do well with. They effected me the opposite way than they were supposed to. So I stopped them gradually. Just getting a counselor, got me back on my feet. I needed no medication at all in the end. Another person may need a medication and that's okay too, Just know that they effect everyone differently. Well said and good advice nicholas.
Medication is mainly just to calm you down but in order to actually solve the problem you have to face the sole cause of it and that can only work if you're truly honest with yourself and others. We all don't share the same experience but you can paint a map on how you got from here to there.
Yep! I grew with anxiety and depression, and I'm getting better now because of therapy. The meds help to think straight and function a bit better, but therapy is a life-savior. Also, if your meds are not helping AT ALL or making your health worse, go to a doctor to change them. For therapy, they are multiple types of therapy, so something might not work but something else may.
I think these older stories are really interesting, it shows that cults are not a new phenomenon. That humans have always been drawn to religious extremes. Thanks for the video Summer.
It shows that lack of proper knowledge about your religion+ false prophets+ occult methods, can have devastating results. Especially given how most "religious" cults are actually masked occult.
I always think that exact thought. They would have a whole job trying to convince me of basic things. To have me believe all this, it just wouldn’t happen. I do think some people are more susceptible to this type of situation sadly.
Fear obviously. I think the biggest problem about all of this is that people don't do a good job of making living on earth feel safe. People want too much and, in equal measure, fear that we don't have enough and that we always gotta turn to someone else for security. Not to mention the attention you get with many people following you and doing as you say, it looks like such a drug to have all that control over others. We the people just need to learn to trust and understand each other better and not cause problems.
It's pretty easy if you think about it. Governments throughout the whole world just closed the human race down for 2 years over a "deadly virus" which seem to have disappeared overnight. Then all back to normal like nothing happened. In a hundred years from now, they'll be someone else telling the story... which no one would believe...that's if freedom of speech will even exist. 😂
He also said he comes with a sword to turn son & daughter against mother & father, for you to hate your family, sell your sh!t & follow him. He was a deluded a hole😂
@@Loralanthalas you can't read, so of course you scream (VERY). Did I write "who only said"? There is a substantial difference between "simply" and "only" and you don't know it. Jesus's words are not only John 13: 34, that's why there is a 13 and a 34 and 4 Gospels, so how come that you prefer to believe that I read that few words and not the rest?
@@lostmojo I think it was a misconception because a lot of people do believe that His words ended with "love each other" and pretend the rest don't exist. Not that you do that; You clearly don't. A lot of people do though, and unfortunately, they're the vocal majority.
@@LostGirl04 yes, and loving the next like ourselves is way harder than it sounds, it takes a lot of concentration, honesty and self analysis all the time, it's a lot of work day in day out. It's easier to pretend it's about a perpetual smile and letting go of everything, and the meanwhile other people hurt entire populations in the name of God.
Fun fact: Napoleon Bonaparte was born on the 15th of August, which is the day Mary is supposed to have ascended to heaven, and he saw it as a sign that he was chosen by God (which was important to have the power in France for the Royalist and the Church) It was so important for him, he made it a national holiday. It's kind of "funny" that a cult leader born on Christmas day, and so seen as a sign because of the Christ (Jesus wasn't born on Christmas, but whatever), thought Napoleon's son was the antichrist. If there's an afterlife, I hope the two of them are beefing about it, because it's funny to imagine.
Omg I LOVE how straight to the point you are!!!! All other channels have like 12mins of bullshit before the actual story starts that my ADD never allows me to sit through….but yours is straight to the point. I love it!!!! ❤️
I also started having anxiety attacks as an adult. It happened after my son had 2 seizures. I got through those just fine, it would happen when nothing was wrong. I am so thankful I found the tools to work through those and I never have them now. Thanks for sharing that Summer. When it happened to me I was very ashamed to talk about it. 30 years ago mental health was viewed in a far different way.
Mine came on exactly the same way. I could get through stressful events just fine, but then, when things would calm down (usually at night before bed), it would hit me! I'm glad to hear that you are well! ❤
I had a full blown panic attack in my favorite place ( bookstore ) yesterday . It's awful . My nervous system just goes crazy ... heart pounding , throat squeezing , feeling like passing out . Still ... it happens less than six months ago . Best of luck and healing to you .

Narcissistic children are the product of at least one Narcissistic parent and the fact that a six year old was giving marital advice to adults really doesn't say a lot when she was described as by far the most intelligent person in her whole family 😮, and little wonder she was so serious if all she thought about was the end times 😂
@@atamburlainethis sounds like religious trauma and anxiety surrounding it to me. She doesn't come off as narcissistic. Edit: obviously it may be something more serious but I am not familiar with non trauma and anxiety disorder and I don't want to say schizophrenic unless I am more familiar, though colloquially it sounds similar.
this would make such a great movie... the character of margaretta is fascinating. she progresses from cheerful christian to radical pious... and then stark raving mad. it would be a dream role.
I really love how you did the piece for the sponsor, thank you for being so open and sharing those things about yourself and the pictures. I found it really moving ❤.
I just found. Your channel not to long ago . And I love the heinous history episodes you’ve done before so I’m excited for this one, I hope your channel grows you’ve been doing a great job on researching these cases
Sommer! How old are your babies? I also have three small babes and I swear I felt everything you said in your better help ad. I had no idea you had three babies.. I knew I connected to you for some reason ❤ thank you so much for everything you do! Your voice is one of the only ones left on YT that can keep my attention while I cook and clean for my family.
fyi, Zwingli's contribution to theological thought is understood to be as a former of Protestant practice. Where as Calvin formulated how Protestants thought/ understood the scripture, Zwingli tried to liberate Protestant's from Catholic practice. It was not so much Zwinglians can do 'what ever they can justify in the Bible', but they can not be compelled to do things not found in the Bible ie Saint days, fasting basically any type of works
My mum is totally delusional and would have been gladly accepted to be a member of this cult. Even though I find listening to this disturbing it also makes me feel like I'm not the only unlucky 1 to grow up with this kinda carry on around. Great show Sommer. Have a good1 from New Zealand
Truly a people who We're lost Hurting yourself or others is never God's way. God is a God of love and a God of peace, and his word says lean not to your own understanding. But in all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your path. Truly there was Some mental illness going on.
I love cults and the history behind it, thank you so so so much for making so much content about cults. This one is pretty distrubing, espcially how it was in the 1800s. Fantasic research :D
I'm new to your channel but I'm already binge watching all of your videos! Your coverage is thoughtful and comprehensive while also being delicate with the topics, I couldn't be more grateful for your time, effort and coverage! I might be new but I'll catch up I no time! Thank you for the education
Omg this one was absolutely mind blowing!!! Always love your content Sommer, I’ve been a follower since the very beginning! Keep up the good work my girl!
Maybe she was one of those people who medically cant feel any pain? I learned about this being possible only recently. It makes you wonder how she didnt cry out. Sick.
I love the research you put into these videos! Oh my goodness - I just studied church history and hearing you talk about things accurately, unlike many people we see, is so exciting. I love you videos and your work and thank you for all your effort!!!!
Thank you for researching and delivering this fascinating and disturbing case! Having grown up in a rigid slightly fanatical family (though not as crazy as this one), I know the line often disappears between religious mania and mental illness. Perhaps mentally vulnerable people are drawn to religious cults, but I think it's more often the case that fundamentalist religion (of whatever faith) often drives people into madness.
I rarely comment on videos ,love these historic cases that no one else covers! Since I'm here I'll also say love that you are a Coheed and Cambria fan! Prior to moving to NC from NJ ( I grew up in NY, Rockland County) in my younger years I saw them more times than I can count!

I would like to become a medical examiner's assistant I believe that the words that you say and the vivid perspective is helping me understand how to cope and what to look forward to or not. You do an amazing job and I fall asleep listening to your true stories because a lot of things are not covered. That makes me want to be an examiner's assistant so that I have a fresher eye. I'm 35 years old and I've seen a lot of things and I would like to have families have results and reassurance or some kind of conclusion to what ever happened. Keep up your good work🎉
This is horrible , why would people follow an insane person into hell ? I mean , none of them had any common sense . Margareta should’ve have gone to an insane asylum from the beginning.
Why do people mutilate their body and pretend to be another gender? It's about forcing their ideas on others and filling a void in themselves where they think they aren't good enough. Usually because they hate part of themselves. It's sad.
As I am listening to the very beginning about Margarette being very knowledgeable about the Bible at a young age, at first I thought that was probably exaggerated, but then I remembered at 5, I recited a Bible book, chapter, and verse verbatim to stop going to church. No, I am not making this up. My grandmother told many people the story including her sisters as they wanted to know why I was no longer attending church. It is one of her favorite memories of me from my younger years and it is mine as well… for entirely separate reasons. Even as a child, I was not religious in the slightest which was something my grandmother was very much aware of but being a Southern black Baptist, the only reason you could miss church was because you were sick. I remember attending and very much disliking the entire experience. It went on for far too long (I swear it took hours though my grandma said it didn’t), I did not like how people were behaving when they received the Holy Ghost/Spirit (I once witnessed a young woman getting up during a song and dropping to the ground and flopping about. I believe I was 4, and I asked my grandmother about that. As a child, the only time I had seen anyone behaving like that was during a tantrum and my grandmother said very happily “Oh, she just got the Holy Spirit” I turned to look down at this young woman and my first thought was “She’s faking…”), and probably the only time I really disliked going to church was Easter. I was chosen to give an Easter speech. I was pretty excited for. I received a little green card of my speech. It was a paragraph. I memorized it as I was instructed to. I would dance around the kitchen reciting it over and over. The next morning the day had come. I was a little nervous but *very* excited. My grandma pulled up beside the church where a special entrance was for guest speakers and the church choir. My grandmother turned to me and asked me to recite the speech. I opened my mouth and I couldn’t. I couldn’t remember anything past the first few words. My grandmother flew into a rage, demanding for me to remember. I just couldn’t. She then got out the car, walked over to a tree, and snapped off a branch. These are called switches and if you know what they are… you probably winced just now. They were used to discipline children. My grandmother beat me every time I got a word wrong, she beat me for not remembering the speech. Eventually, we went inside, she made me clean my face because I had been crying. I went up on that stage.. and still couldn’t remember the stupid speech. I was 4! After that, I just could not take it anymore. It was already bad enough that I was forced to listen to people talk on and on about something I really didn’t believe in, made to wear a dress (I hated dresses with a burning passion and still to this day, wearing a dress is like making me wear a prison uniform), and finally that Easter speech situation. Yeah, I was done. One Sunday, my grandmother woke us up and began to get ready for church. I was laying in bed watching cartoons and watching her moving back and forth as she dressed. She told me I should hurry and get ready so that we could go to her sister’s house and leave all together as a family for church. I looked at my grandmother and told her I was not going. She demanded to know why since I wasn’t sick. I proceeded to tell her that according to the Bible, we do not have to attend church as we carry it with us always. I even recited the Bible book, chapter, and verse. My grandmother got her Bible and opened it to exactly where I had said. It was exactly as I had told her. I was given permission from then on that I did not have to go as it was obvious that the Holy Spirit had directed me to the exact place in the Bible to prove my point. Never went back.
Your grandmother was horrible in thinking that a 4 year wouldn't get nervous or have stage fright. Oftentimes a lot of older folks tend to be super traditional in regards to religion or faith in general. I think it stems from their grandparents or even great grandparents not being able to read and thus hanging on to everything the pastors says without checking scripture and thinking its true. Unfortunately I still see it happening and it weird because those old folks are so stuck in their ways and beliefs ,that its impossibke for them to conceive that everything they have been taught about God is wrong.
That sounds pretty infuriating to have yours and your family members dictated by the youngest member, who doesn't know how to pay taxes, keep food on the table and etc. I'm not disparaging kids, I just think her parents should have taken a stand and not let their youngest kid boss them around. Blind favoritism is just as bad as blind faith.

So i found it Wow that’s an amazingly detailed painting. It’s wild considering that time it was painted and where we are at as a people. The religious would be blown away by the small details that are actually huge now such as the eye in the pyramid symbol. They knew all this way back then? Crazy. Also thank you for that lead.
@@loisburns2110 I'm confused, you're shocked that someone in the 1860s knew about the freemason symbol from the 1700s? I think some of you would be blown away if you realized how many freemasons were also religious. Because the freemasons were just, you know, Lutherans who liked to drink away from their wives, and also build things with stone. Hence the "mason" part.
@@loisburns2110 The painting is absolutely stunning but I'm confused a bit by your comment about the eye in the pyramid and some secret? As to my understanding that particular depiction is the Eye Of Providence, as in God is watching all those beneath him and that was already a popular depiction by roughly the mid-to late 1700's.
I love your videos and how you are so thorough with every case you are an intelligent mama bear with a great heart We need more people like you! I wish you and your family the best!
This is interesting in a different way because a lot of cult leaders have genuine selfish motives. It’s hard to tell her motives and what she believes in. Thank you for sharing this case with us!
My grandmother's father's family were Pietists from Southeastern Norway. They belonged to the regular Lutheran church, but they were unbelievably anti-fun: no drinking, dancing, secular music, etc. However, Grandma never said she was exposed to any of that "Satan" hooey.

Completely crazy. La folie au deux X 10! Its a fine line between sincere faith and dangerous fanaticism. Whoa Sommer! Well done! What a terrifying trip back in time. Excellent research. This should be a lesson in Christian nationalism.
New sub here! I have watched several of your videos over the last couple of days and I usually go for longer form true crime content but your videos are really well done. I also like that you cover cases I have never heard of.
If there was a secret baby then they escaped this crazy...if they weren't already disposed of. That entire group's cornbread just wasn't done right in the middle.
The irony, in all cults but especially this one, is the quote at the beginning. “We must obey God rather than men.” Because what does every religious cult do….youuu guessed it. 🙄 Also, side note, I will never not read as Margherita pizza. But she wasn’t crucified. She was hung on a cross and then stabbed/battered to death. Maybe that’s why she didn’t come back after 3 days.
Another very good video. To clarify, you spoke of the Zwingli church as if it was kind of culty but Zwingli was just another Protestant reformer like Calvin and Luther of which denominations are associated with. The reason they were focused on obeying the Scriptures is because for the first time they had full access to the Scriptures and thus they were skeptical of authorities who went against the teachings in the Bible like they believed the Catholic Church and the elite did. With the modern translation into their native language they for the first time was able to read the Bible for themselves and so you had many groups fascinated with reading the Bible front to back. Because of this the way you described them as being able to do whatever they wanted as long as they believed it was what God wanted them to do isn’t quite accurate. They were just trying to be very discerning of what leadership was telling them. For example this was the first time they were reading that God viewed all people as equal and that no matter your class God still viewed you highly, this was in stark contrast to the leadership of the day that stated the elite were ordained for a higher calling and more loved by God because they were born in a different class.

OMG, how horrific. People who join cults are almost hypnotised and they do the most horrendous acts against others even their own families.
I would love to hear more about lesser known older cults
Better help has lawsuits against them, never go through them.
😮😮😮I hadn't heard this
They cost to much for me to use.
They are a terrible company.
You always wonder if any of these cult leaders ACTUALLY believe what they preach. Clearly, past cult leaders were power tripping on their ability to deceive others. Heavens Gate, and David koresh are different. But this case is so insane and their delusions are so scary.
They still do. Look at the trans movement. It's all about forcing ideas on others and trying to fill a void in themselves. All cults are predicated on the same things.
This woman was clearly having a psychotic episode, probably bought on by a mix of post-partum psychosis and guilt over the affair with Jacob. This doesn't even really sound like a cult in the way that we typically think of them just religious zealotry mixing with mental illness.
@@johnmichaels4330 You misspelled the Trump movement.
@@Rye_Toast it's OK, you obviously don't recognize sane normal people. I can see how you'd get that wrong. Traitor.
So Zwigli was contradicting Jesus when He said give Cesar what belongs to Cesar.
What a great surprise!! I just happened to check my RUclips feed. It’s been a busy morning and now time to relax with a new case video 👌🏽
Posted a day early this time! 🖤
IKR?! So many of my old standbys post on Sunday when I’m so busy. Just me and the dogs today and I’m cooking. Perfect!
Yesss!!! Same here!
Love these historical cases. Her father filled her head with this nonsense from birth and created this deranged creature. Thank god he had the sense to take his son away that night. But he bears a great deal of this blame. But i also wonder what happened with her uncle too. She seems very changed by being brought to live with him. It seems more than by her new religion. Then losing her child seems to have tipped her over the edge. So distressing that people followed her madness so far.
For anyone struggling with mental health issues, we should never believe that medications, alone, can help us. I was raised by a psychologist, & surrounded by mental health professionals & to finally get sober, I needed therapy & meds. If you meet a psychiatrist (the dr that can prescribe the meds), & that dr doesn't encourage you to also try therapy, I wouldn't trust that dr. Its also really important to remember that therapist & drs are also human, & they may not meet your needs, for a variety of reasons. They not have the experience you need, which can be related to race, gender, class, etc. They may not known enough about addiction, or trauma & abuse. They may just be a bad fit for you, maybe your personality & theirs doesn't jive well. That's all normal, & you should just try a new one. Remember that you can & should advocate for yourself, ask questions. It saved my life, & the lives of many of my favorite people.
Agreed. Just talking helped me. The meds I had been prescribed, I did not do well with. They effected me the opposite way than they were supposed to. So I stopped them gradually. Just getting a counselor, got me back on my feet. I needed no medication at all in the end.
Another person may need a medication and that's okay too, Just know that they effect everyone differently.
Well said and good advice nicholas.
Medication is mainly just to calm you down but in order to actually solve the problem you have to face the sole cause of it and that can only work if you're truly honest with yourself and others. We all don't share the same experience but you can paint a map on how you got from here to there.
Yep! I grew with anxiety and depression, and I'm getting better now because of therapy. The meds help to think straight and function a bit better, but therapy is a life-savior. Also, if your meds are not helping AT ALL or making your health worse, go to a doctor to change them. For therapy, they are multiple types of therapy, so something might not work but something else may.
I mean, it's going to be different for everyone
I think these older stories are really interesting, it shows that cults are not a new phenomenon. That humans have always been drawn to religious extremes. Thanks for the video Summer.
It shows that lack of proper knowledge about your religion+ false prophets+ occult methods, can have devastating results. Especially given how most "religious" cults are actually masked occult.
Sorry to be so blunt but I just don't understand how people can be so completely stupid & gullible sometimes. What a shame
I always think that exact thought. They would have a whole job trying to convince me of basic things. To have me believe all this, it just wouldn’t happen. I do think some people are more susceptible to this type of situation sadly.
I grew up Catholic. As a kid I would ask so many questions my catechism teacher probably hated me😂
Fear obviously. I think the biggest problem about all of this is that people don't do a good job of making living on earth feel safe. People want too much and, in equal measure, fear that we don't have enough and that we always gotta turn to someone else for security. Not to mention the attention you get with many people following you and doing as you say, it looks like such a drug to have all that control over others. We the people just need to learn to trust and understand each other better and not cause problems.
It's pretty easy if you think about it. Governments throughout the whole world just closed the human race down for 2 years over a "deadly virus" which seem to have disappeared overnight. Then all back to normal like nothing happened. In a hundred years from now, they'll be someone else telling the story... which no one would believe...that's if freedom of speech will even exist. 😂
I think they're called americans
The things people do in the name of Someone who simply said "love one another"
He also said he comes with a sword to turn son & daughter against mother & father, for you to hate your family, sell your sh!t & follow him. He was a deluded a hole😂
You have a VERY shortened version of what Jesus said.
@@Loralanthalas you can't read, so of course you scream (VERY). Did I write "who only said"? There is a substantial difference between "simply" and "only" and you don't know it. Jesus's words are not only John 13: 34, that's why there is a 13 and a 34 and 4 Gospels, so how come that you prefer to believe that I read that few words and not the rest?
@@lostmojo
I think it was a misconception because a lot of people do believe that His words ended with "love each other" and pretend the rest don't exist. Not that you do that; You clearly don't. A lot of people do though, and unfortunately, they're the vocal majority.
@@LostGirl04 yes, and loving the next like ourselves is way harder than it sounds, it takes a lot of concentration, honesty and self analysis all the time, it's a lot of work day in day out. It's easier to pretend it's about a perpetual smile and letting go of everything, and the meanwhile other people hurt entire populations in the name of God.
This episode deserves an award. At least one. 👌🥳👏 This story is gnarly. Hope history doesn't repeat this train wreck 🙏
Fun fact: Napoleon Bonaparte was born on the 15th of August, which is the day Mary is supposed to have ascended to heaven, and he saw it as a sign that he was chosen by God (which was important to have the power in France for the Royalist and the Church) It was so important for him, he made it a national holiday. It's kind of "funny" that a cult leader born on Christmas day, and so seen as a sign because of the Christ (Jesus wasn't born on Christmas, but whatever), thought Napoleon's son was the antichrist.
If there's an afterlife, I hope the two of them are beefing about it, because it's funny to imagine.
Fascinating how religious delirium affects people (even today). Have you covered Brother 12? A cult that was 19th C and close to where I live
I've never heard of this & WOW 😳 Thanks for bringing this to us. Sending you love! I get so stoked when I see you've posted❤
I love these older historical stories! Sommer you do amazing research! You’re a truly unique channel ❤️
Omg I LOVE how straight to the point you are!!!! All other channels have like 12mins of bullshit before the actual story starts that my ADD never allows me to sit through….but yours is straight to the point. I love it!!!! ❤️
I also started having anxiety attacks as an adult. It happened after my son had 2 seizures. I got through those just fine, it would happen when nothing was wrong. I am so thankful I found the tools to work through those and I never have them now.
Thanks for sharing that Summer. When it happened to me I was very ashamed to talk about it. 30 years ago mental health was viewed in a far different way.
Mine came on exactly the same way. I could get through stressful events just fine, but then, when things would calm down (usually at night before bed), it would hit me! I'm glad to hear that you are well! ❤
I had a full blown panic attack in my favorite place ( bookstore ) yesterday .
It's awful . My nervous system just goes crazy ... heart pounding , throat squeezing , feeling like passing out . Still ... it happens less than six months ago . Best of luck and healing to you .

Narcissistic children are the product of at least one Narcissistic parent and the fact that a six year old was giving marital advice to adults really doesn't say a lot when she was described as by far the most intelligent person in her whole family 😮, and little wonder she was so serious if all she thought about was the end times 😂
narcissism is extremely rare and almost all of the people today that are called narcs, arent.
If you think this sounds like NPD, you need to go back and retake your licensing exam.
@@atamburlainethis sounds like religious trauma and anxiety surrounding it to me. She doesn't come off as narcissistic.
Edit: obviously it may be something more serious but I am not familiar with non trauma and anxiety disorder and I don't want to say schizophrenic unless I am more familiar, though colloquially it sounds similar.
Margareta doesn't sound narcissistic at all, where are you even getting that from?
Never has the word insane been so aptly used. This was totally insane, and unusual as to who died. Awesome job Sommer.
this would make such a great movie... the character of margaretta is fascinating. she progresses from cheerful christian to radical pious... and then stark raving mad.
it would be a dream role.
Eh it would if it wasn't so cliched tbh as it's almost expected the dedicated Christian character be more nutty than a walnut tree.
I really love how you did the piece for the sponsor, thank you for being so open and sharing those things about yourself and the pictures. I found it really moving ❤.
Plz never apologize for miss pronouncing names. You do such a great job I wish you did more content!
Every town in the US named "Norfolk" is pronounced differently, of the handful I'm aware of.
I had to listen to this twice!!! My gosh, was pure insanity and folie A duex times 100 😮.
As always, wonderful work and research ❤.
I just found. Your channel not to long ago . And I love the heinous history episodes you’ve done before so I’m excited for this one, I hope your channel grows you’ve been doing a great job on researching these cases
Same, the first one I watched was a heinous history and I thought it was brilliant.
Your voice is really easy to listen to. ❤ your channel!
Thank you so much! 🖤🖤🖤
Agree! It’s one of the only ones across all of RUclips that is relaxing but can also keep my interest while I’m doing my household chores! ❤
I totally agree! 👍🏽
I agree. Many I can't continue to follow because of their voices. I'm a "first timer," but I did enjoy the video. Thank you.
I’m a simple woman. I see Sommer post a new video and I click it
I love simple woman.Are you married?
Sommer! How old are your babies? I also have three small babes and I swear I felt everything you said in your better help ad. I had no idea you had three babies.. I knew I connected to you for some reason ❤ thank you so much for everything you do! Your voice is one of the only ones left on YT that can keep my attention while I cook and clean for my family.
fyi, Zwingli's contribution to theological thought is understood to be as a former of Protestant practice. Where as Calvin formulated how Protestants thought/ understood the scripture, Zwingli tried to liberate Protestant's from Catholic practice. It was not so much Zwinglians can do 'what ever they can justify in the Bible', but they can not be compelled to do things not found in the Bible ie Saint days, fasting basically any type of works
My ancestor's theology was basically proto-Calvanism/Reformed
A bunch of nonsense
My mum is totally delusional and would have been gladly accepted to be a member of this cult. Even though I find listening to this disturbing it also makes me feel like I'm not the only unlucky 1 to grow up with this kinda carry on around. Great show Sommer. Have a good1 from New Zealand
Hey. This is sherry on replay. Found ur channel today. Been binge watching most of the day.😊
Truly a people who We're lost Hurting yourself or others is never God's way. God is a God of love and a God of peace, and his word says lean not to your own understanding. But in all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your path. Truly there was Some mental illness going on.
Agreed. It also seems like there was some evil spiritual involvement as well.
I love cults and the history behind it, thank you so so so much for making so much content about cults. This one is pretty distrubing, espcially how it was in the 1800s. Fantasic research :D
Yippie!! Sommer came through. Love from Nigeria ❤❤
I am absolutely head over heels for your channel. You have really brought back my passion for true crime.
This was definitely a WTF story 😮
cult stories remind us of one thing- our species isn't as smart as we think we are.
This video caught my eye IMMEDIATELY, very much up my alley. Cheers everyone, and thanks for the great upload! ❤
I'm new to your channel but I'm already binge watching all of your videos! Your coverage is thoughtful and comprehensive while also being delicate with the topics, I couldn't be more grateful for your time, effort and coverage! I might be new but I'll catch up I no time! Thank you for the education
Glad your Doing Better sommer
Without photos you did a wonderful job on this site! Thank you! 🎉
This was so fascinating!!! Loved this episode!
I love when you do old cases like this! Some of the most interesting cases happened in historical times.
Omg this one was absolutely mind blowing!!! Always love your content Sommer, I’ve been a follower since the very beginning! Keep up the good work my girl!
Awesome .. such good timing , thank you my no1 RUclips narrator .. ur amazing ❤🎉🎉🎉
Thanks, Daniel!! 🥰
"Immoral, and a person of indifferent character" would be a great t-shirt, just sayin
I love when you post. Am I imagining things or are you posting more often? Either way, keep it up Sommer! Great work!
Maybe she was one of those people who medically cant feel any pain? I learned about this being possible only recently. It makes you wonder how she didnt cry out. Sick.
I love the research you put into these videos! Oh my goodness - I just studied church history and hearing you talk about things accurately, unlike many people we see, is so exciting. I love you videos and your work and thank you for all your effort!!!!
How cool to hear a story from Switzerland❤🇨🇭🇨🇭 we never get any wild stories about us. I thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you!
Thank you for researching and delivering this fascinating and disturbing case! Having grown up in a rigid slightly fanatical family (though not as crazy as this one), I know the line often disappears between religious mania and mental illness. Perhaps mentally vulnerable people are drawn to religious cults, but I think it's more often the case that fundamentalist religion (of whatever faith) often drives people into madness.
I rarely comment on videos ,love these historic cases that no one else covers! Since I'm here I'll also say love that you are a Coheed and Cambria fan! Prior to moving to NC from NJ ( I grew up in NY, Rockland County) in my younger years I saw them more times than I can count!
Fantastic as always!! I love that you found such an old case. Keep up the great work. Thank you

I have never heard about this cult before. I‘m left utterly speechless. I love following your page!
My favorite true crime RUclips page
🖤🖤🖤
I would like to become a medical examiner's assistant I believe that the words that you say and the vivid perspective is helping me understand how to cope and what to look forward to or not. You do an amazing job and I fall asleep listening to your true stories because a lot of things are not covered.
That makes me want to be an examiner's assistant so that I have a fresher eye. I'm 35 years old and I've seen a lot of things and I would like to have families have results and reassurance or some kind of conclusion to what ever happened. Keep up your good work🎉
This is horrible , why would people follow an insane person into hell ? I mean , none of them had any common sense . Margareta should’ve have gone to an insane asylum from the beginning.
Why do people mutilate their body and pretend to be another gender? It's about forcing their ideas on others and filling a void in themselves where they think they aren't good enough. Usually because they hate part of themselves. It's sad.
As I am listening to the very beginning about Margarette being very knowledgeable about the Bible at a young age, at first I thought that was probably exaggerated, but then I remembered at 5, I recited a Bible book, chapter, and verse verbatim to stop going to church.
No, I am not making this up. My grandmother told many people the story including her sisters as they wanted to know why I was no longer attending church. It is one of her favorite memories of me from my younger years and it is mine as well… for entirely separate reasons.
Even as a child, I was not religious in the slightest which was something my grandmother was very much aware of but being a Southern black Baptist, the only reason you could miss church was because you were sick.
I remember attending and very much disliking the entire experience. It went on for far too long (I swear it took hours though my grandma said it didn’t), I did not like how people were behaving when they received the Holy Ghost/Spirit (I once witnessed a young woman getting up during a song and dropping to the ground and flopping about. I believe I was 4, and I asked my grandmother about that. As a child, the only time I had seen anyone behaving like that was during a tantrum and my grandmother said very happily “Oh, she just got the Holy Spirit” I turned to look down at this young woman and my first thought was “She’s faking…”), and probably the only time I really disliked going to church was Easter. I was chosen to give an Easter speech. I was pretty excited for. I received a little green card of my speech. It was a paragraph. I memorized it as I was instructed to. I would dance around the kitchen reciting it over and over.
The next morning the day had come. I was a little nervous but *very* excited. My grandma pulled up beside the church where a special entrance was for guest speakers and the church choir.
My grandmother turned to me and asked me to recite the speech. I opened my mouth and I couldn’t. I couldn’t remember anything past the first few words. My grandmother flew into a rage, demanding for me to remember. I just couldn’t. She then got out the car, walked over to a tree, and snapped off a branch. These are called switches and if you know what they are… you probably winced just now. They were used to discipline children. My grandmother beat me every time I got a word wrong, she beat me for not remembering the speech. Eventually, we went inside, she made me clean my face because I had been crying. I went up on that stage.. and still couldn’t remember the stupid speech. I was 4!
After that, I just could not take it anymore. It was already bad enough that I was forced to listen to people talk on and on about something I really didn’t believe in, made to wear a dress (I hated dresses with a burning passion and still to this day, wearing a dress is like making me wear a prison uniform), and finally that Easter speech situation. Yeah, I was done.
One Sunday, my grandmother woke us up and began to get ready for church. I was laying in bed watching cartoons and watching her moving back and forth as she dressed. She told me I should hurry and get ready so that we could go to her sister’s house and leave all together as a family for church. I looked at my grandmother and told her I was not going. She demanded to know why since I wasn’t sick.
I proceeded to tell her that according to the Bible, we do not have to attend church as we carry it with us always. I even recited the Bible book, chapter, and verse. My grandmother got her Bible and opened it to exactly where I had said. It was exactly as I had told her.
I was given permission from then on that I did not have to go as it was obvious that the Holy Spirit had directed me to the exact place in the Bible to prove my point. Never went back.
Your grandmother was horrible in thinking that a 4 year wouldn't get nervous or have stage fright. Oftentimes a lot of older folks tend to be super traditional in regards to religion or faith in general. I think it stems from their grandparents or even great grandparents not being able to read and thus hanging on to everything the pastors says without checking scripture and thinking its true. Unfortunately I still see it happening and it weird because those old folks are so stuck in their ways and beliefs ,that its impossibke for them to conceive that everything they have been taught about God is wrong.
I haven't heard this before. It was nice and refreshing to hear something that hasn't been overdone. Interesting and crazy story. Thank you.
That sounds pretty infuriating to have yours and your family members dictated by the youngest member, who doesn't know how to pay taxes, keep food on the table and etc. I'm not disparaging kids, I just think her parents should have taken a stand and not let their youngest kid boss them around. Blind favoritism is just as bad as blind faith.
Well done...That was insane.....I cant believe it hasnt been turned into a film!
Im battling stage 4 CCA which is live and bile duct cancer, which is very rare then it is metastasis which means it's spread and its in my stomach, heart and lymph nodes. I already have a 10 year battle with brain problem, tumors, IIH, I have a shunt in my brain to drain it constantly which doesn't fix alot of me bc mine is so bad. Ive had 4 brain surgeries and fight for life daily then now we add cancer. This is my freaking theme song! I laugh and scream and cry to this song and need atleast 20 listens in a roll! Hope all my other 30s and 40s people are living true life and keeping it together. Much love to the song, AAR and everyone else with me that's moving along ❤
Amazing story and storytelling!
Oh my word! Crazy! Excellent research. Once again, so happy to find your channel!
Looking at some of Sommer's source links, I found a painting that's wild - The Broad and the Narrow Way, a popular German Pietist painting, 1866
So i found it
Wow that’s an amazingly detailed painting. It’s wild considering that time it was painted and where we are at as a people.
The religious would be blown away by the small details that are actually huge now such as the eye in the pyramid symbol.
They knew all this way back then?
Crazy.
Also thank you for that lead.
@@loisburns2110 I'm confused, you're shocked that someone in the 1860s knew about the freemason symbol from the 1700s? I think some of you would be blown away if you realized how many freemasons were also religious. Because the freemasons were just, you know, Lutherans who liked to drink away from their wives, and also build things with stone. Hence the "mason" part.
@@loisburns2110 The painting is absolutely stunning but I'm confused a bit by your comment about the eye in the pyramid and some secret?
As to my understanding that particular depiction is the Eye Of Providence, as in God is watching all those beneath him and that was already a popular depiction by roughly the mid-to late 1700's.
This was fascinating! Binge watching your channel now!
Your ability to dig up these insane cases 🥴 This was an interesting , bizarre 😂 but interesting 💯 Looking forward to the next one ❤
I totally agree that this was a super interesting one. Religious mania is frightening.
I love your videos and how you are so thorough with every case
you are an intelligent mama bear with a great heart
We need more people like you!
I wish you and your family the best!
This is interesting in a different way because a lot of cult leaders have genuine selfish motives. It’s hard to tell her motives and what she believes in. Thank you for sharing this case with us!
My grandmother's father's family were Pietists from Southeastern Norway. They belonged to the regular Lutheran church, but they were unbelievably anti-fun: no drinking, dancing, secular music, etc. However, Grandma never said she was exposed to any of that "Satan" hooey.
Wow this one was crazy! As always, great video
That was very interesting I also enjoy old cases keep up the good work❤
Hi Sommer, Glad You're Feeling Better...I understand bc I experienced similar struggle....
Thank You for this TRUE CRIME STORY..I LIKE OLD CASES LIKE THIS ONE...SOMMER, YOU ALWAYS DO A FANTASTIC JOB IN COVERING THESE CASES.
REMEMBER, TAKE TIME OUT FOR YOURSELF...IT'S CALLED, " MOMMY🎉 TIME"...WE MOMS NEED THIS.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. 🎉PAMELA 🎉
I enjoyed this Story very much and Hope You will do more of these..However, getting documentation will not be that easy...So, NO Worries..If you can find these very old cases without problems, I will definitely Appreciate it..If you are having too many issues finding info, PLEASE DON'T STRESS YOURSELF....I WILL GLADLY WATCH ANYTHING THAT COMES FROM YOU, AS I TRULY APPRECIATE YOU AND THE HARD WORK THAT YOU DO TO GET. THESE VIDEOS OUT TO US.
YOU, AND YOUR FAMILY HAVE A BLESSED, SAFE, AND ENJOYABLE WEEKEND. 🎉PAMELA🎉
Excellent video!
Completely crazy. La folie au deux X 10! Its a fine line between sincere faith and dangerous fanaticism. Whoa Sommer! Well done! What a terrifying trip back in time. Excellent research. This should be a lesson in Christian nationalism.
....."and then they whent and had dinner!"
What without washing their hands? 😂😂😂
I love your storytelling! It’s like I’m hearing the story from an eye witness lol
That was sad, and sick. I felt like crying for those poor people..
Thank you for another great video
How do you find the really old and obscure stories? I never would have known about this story without your video.
New sub here! I have watched several of your videos over the last couple of days and I usually go for longer form true crime content but your videos are really well done. I also like that you cover cases I have never heard of.
If there was a secret baby then they escaped this crazy...if they weren't already disposed of.
That entire group's cornbread just wasn't done right in the middle.
I have to tackle the North face of my garage tomorrow. Been putting it off for about two years 😮😮😮😮😮
As always, your cast should get me through. 😊
The irony, in all cults but especially this one, is the quote at the beginning. “We must obey God rather than men.” Because what does every religious cult do….youuu guessed it. 🙄
Also, side note, I will never not read as Margherita pizza.
But she wasn’t crucified. She was hung on a cross and then stabbed/battered to death. Maybe that’s why she didn’t come back after 3 days.
Again, W.O.W.. People be crazy! New subscriber here. Love your channel from the 🇨🇦
Absolutely horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!Like every one else, I'm at a loss for words😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Another very good video. To clarify, you spoke of the Zwingli church as if it was kind of culty but Zwingli was just another Protestant reformer like Calvin and Luther of which denominations are associated with. The reason they were focused on obeying the Scriptures is because for the first time they had full access to the Scriptures and thus they were skeptical of authorities who went against the teachings in the Bible like they believed the Catholic Church and the elite did. With the modern translation into their native language they for the first time was able to read the Bible for themselves and so you had many groups fascinated with reading the Bible front to back.
Because of this the way you described them as being able to do whatever they wanted as long as they believed it was what God wanted them to do isn’t quite accurate. They were just trying to be very discerning of what leadership was telling them. For example this was the first time they were reading that God viewed all people as equal and that no matter your class God still viewed you highly, this was in stark contrast to the leadership of the day that stated the elite were ordained for a higher calling and more loved by God because they were born in a different class.
Good explanation.
You should upload your audio as a podcast too I would definitely listen
I LOVE THE OLD STORIES. I thinks its important that people realize there was a time all this technology wasn't available.
