(ModernSurvival.org) – Religion is supposed to bring joy and comfort to those who embrace it. Unfortunately, some people weaponize faith and use it as a way to amass power and exert control over others. This seems to have been the case for a pastor in Jamaica prior to his arrest and subsequent death.

Kevin Smith, the leader of Pathways International Kingdom Restoration Ministries, was arrested on charges of human sacrifices at the ministry’s compound. Police raided the compound following a report from one practitioner who claimed to have been stabbed in a ritual. After a shootout with cult members, they discovered the bodies of two ritual victims within the compound.

While in transport to face charges for the alleged slayings, the police vehicle Smith was in flipped over, killing both the pastor and a police officer.

Before his death, Smith spoke to police officers, claiming he was “the fountain of life.” According to practitioners, Smith made his congregation call him “Crown Bishop” and forced them to relinquish their first paycheck each month to the ministry.

While many people may look at the cult Smith started and wonder how anyone could ever follow an organization like that, this is far from the first time it has happened. In fact, it is shocking how easy it is for an individual to get wrapped up in a cult before they even know it.

Modern Survival Tips

Modern Survival is a publication that encourages its readers to be prepared citizens who can self-sustain, particularly in the aftermath of a large-scale or grid-down disaster. Their philosophy is to help individuals learn how to be ruggedly self-reliant, rather than reliant on the government, emergency services, or their extended families, neighbors, and friends in the wake of an emergency situation.

After a major disaster, emergency services and police protection are typically stretched extremely thin. Being prepared to survive after a disaster allows first responders to respond to those who need their help most. Survivalists seek to free up emergency services, resources, and assistance, effectively moving themselves to the back of the priority line because they have the skills to survive, and sometimes thrive, while others may not.

Life is full of unknowns, and it doesn’t take events like a major natural disaster or man-made terror attack for survival skills to be useful. In addition to the worst-case scenarios most people imagine, there are many everyday survival situations that individuals and families run into, as well. From ice storms to getting lost in the woods, Modern Survival shares tips to help readers brush up on their survival skills.

Modern Survival’s mission is to help people and families prepare to face the unknown, and come out on the other side. From wilderness survival tips to building a prepper pantry, this publication is dedicated to educating readers in the skills of our predecessors. They believe that modern society has effectively eliminated survival education, and they’re committed to bringing awareness to as many readers as possible.

As one of the most useful survival resources on the web, Modern Survival provides weekly news, tips, resources, tactics, and even skill development courses. They aim to keep their readers informed, protected, healthy, and happy, no matter what life brings their way.
