Wild Wild Country on NETFlix

Postby Jerky » Mon Mar 19, 2018 2:20 am

Y'all gotta watch this six-part series about Osho's attempts to set up a city in the wilderness (Rajneeshpuram / Antelope) in Oregon in the early 1980's. What a magnificent mess they made of things! Cults have always fascinated me, and I've always been curious about this chapter in America's ongoing struggle with the interpretation of its Constitution (in particular re: religion) and this series has done an excellent job of answering every question I've ever had about the events in question.

I don't think America has a place for these people


can't wait to watch it...thanks!
Mazars and Deutsche Bank could have ended this nightmare before it started.
They could still get him out of office.
But instead, they want mass death.
Don’t forget that.

:ohwh WOW - just wow! Wife and I watched the series this past week ... can't believe I'd never heard about that. I mean, I knew a tiny fraction but how the heck have I missed this?

Really enjoyed rooting for both sides of this story.

Highly recommended. :thumbsup

This event already happened but is relevant here.
