abstract="This article investigates Kibwetere's Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God. A brief summary of the Movement's short history is followed by an outline of the movement's main beliefs. This Ugandan cult's socio historic context is thereupon analyzed. The cult's document, &quot;A Timely Message&quot;, is summarized and their relationship with a similar Marian movement in Australia is indicated. Finally, the phenomenon of their suicide is discussed in terms of doomsday apocalypticism and depicted as a result of Roman Catholic apocalyptic thinking.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
