DENVER—Several members of a bizarre spiritual group called “Love Has Won” have been taken into custody after the badly decaying body of the group’s leader was found in its headquarters.

Amy Carlson, 45, whose followers call her “Mother God,” was found dead in a mobile home in Casada Park, west of Crestone. Saguache County Sheriff’s deputies and Colorado Bureau of Investigation detectives found the self-proclaimed “divine being” of the group after a tip-off from a member who told them her body had been transported to Colorado from across the country.

The death and its connection to Love Has Won—which law enforcement and ex-members have previously called a “cult”—were first reported by Be Scofield.

While being interviewed by law enforcement, the group would not use the word “deceased,” when referring to Carlson’s death, according to a source familiar with the case. They claimed Carlson was not dead, but was merely “out of communication.”

“Saguache County (suh-WATCH /səˈwɑːtʃ/ (About this soundlisten)) is a county located in the U.S. state of Colorado.[3] As of the 2010 census, the population was 6,108.[4] The county seat is Saguache.[5] “

Denver, my @$$.

“If you’re a cult leader and living in a singlewide, you’re doing it wrong.“

Yes.
This is discussed in the first chapter of “Being A Cult Leader For Dummies”
“Make your new converts surrender all their money.
Seek young converts from wealthy liberal families. They are the most likely to access to large amounts of money, and if you convince them the fate of the world is at stake, they will turn money over to you. “

"her body had been transported across the country to Colorado"

Reference National Lampoon's Vacation...wrapped and carried on top of a stationwaggon...in a sitting position.

I wonder if the cats in the trailer worked their magic on her...

[beethovenfan]

She’s pinin’ for the fjords.

[doorgunner69]

"not dead, but was merely “out of communication.” "

Sounds like a Monty Python skit.....

Maybe she was pining for the fjords?

And in other news... some people are just truly stupid! It’s called “evolution”, “survival of the fittest”, “the process of natural selection”... don’t get me wrong, the theory has big holes in it, but some of it does make perfect sense. i.e. stupid people tend to end up dead earlier than those who are not so stupid.

[null and void]

It’s called “evolution”, “survival of the fittest”

That's the saying.

Think about it.

It isn't "survival of the fittest".

It's "culling of the least fit."

Just my 2¢.

Prove me wrong...

[Viking2002]

That’s my fear. And my wife’s. She’s afraid she’ll come home one day and find me dead in the kitchen, and all five of ours decided I looked like a snack.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

It's "culling of the least fit."

It is really neither.

It is who reproduced the most.

The young idiot who loved to pull the lions tail and got several girls pregnant before being eaten, his genes survived. The guy who invented the spear thrower but had no time for the young ladies, his genes didn't.

[Equine1952]

Don’t worry about the small stuff. Watch “Soylent Green”. Protein, that’s watch makes the world go round. “Sorry I’m busy tonite having an old friend in for dinner.”

Hey, once I’m dead, what do I care what happens to my carcass? I came from the earth, so shall I rejoin the earth. Even if it’s through a cat’s digestive tract. The better part of me won’t be around to complain. I hope.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

#34. Forget “Soylent Green”. Watch the little known movie “Guess who’s becoming dinner”.

And it’s not “I’m busy tonite having an old friend IN for dinner”. It is “I’m having an old friend FOR dinner”.

There is also a new book coming out, in memorian to Jeffrey Dahmer, entitled “24 New Recipes When You have Friends for Dinner”.
