There were things that fascinated him: surgery, polygamy, and torture. He decided the only way to have all 3 was if he started his own cult in the isolated woods of Canada. He gathered 40 followers in a small cabin, convinced them that the apocalypse was coming and the only way they could be saved was if they followed his every word. His male followers’ private parts were cut off, teeth were pulled out with pliers, and they were creatively beaten on a daily basis. He performed open stomach surgery on one of his wives without painkillers or anesthetic. He amputated another one of his wife’s arms without any painkillers just because he felt like it. And he kept all the spare body parts as evidence of torture in his little trophy shed.
