Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God

March 18, 2000 - Suicide Cult in Uganda - Authorities in Uganda believe that up to 470 members of an obscure Catholic cult commited mass suicide by setting their church on fire. "The scene is horror," police spokesman Asuman Mugenyi told The Associated Press. "It is only about two or three bodies which you can say that these are men or women. The rest of the bodies are beyond human shape."

The cultist allegedly gathered at the church 200 miles southwest of the capital Kampala where they chanted and sang for hourse before lighting the place on fire. Authorities found that the windows and doors of the church had been nailed shut and the prayer mats were doused with gasoline. It is believed the congregation went up on flames when all the cultist lit their candles. "Prior to this incident their leader told believers to sell off their possessions and prepare to go to Heaven," a spokesman for Ugandan authorities said. One of the cult leaders, Joseph Kibweteere, known as "The Prophet", predicted the end of the world for December 31, 1999. When that didn't materialize, he moved the date up to December 31, 2000. Then, for some reason, changed it to March 17.

March 19, 2000 - Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God - New information on the Ugandan suicide cult reveals that one of the sect leader's, Bishop Joseph Kibwetere, a 68-year old failed Ugandan politician, preahed the world was about to be destroyed for not obeying the Ten Commandments. Kibwetere had been a prominent member of the Roman Catholic-based Democratic Party in the 1960s and 70s. But his political career ended abruptly when the rival Ugandan People's Congress led by Milton Obote won the election in 1980.

Seven years after he got out of politics Kibwetere recorder on tape a conversation he overheard between Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. In the conversation Christ and the Virgin Mary said the world would end on December 31, 1999. When the end of time didn't materialize Kibwetere and his associates came under pressure from the congregation to repay the money they gave them to prepare for the apocalypse. "That's when they hatched this new date of March 17," district adminstrator Kalule Ssengo told Reuters.
