I will let this be my last post on the topic as to not derail the thread, but the Branch Davidians were not a cult. They are an off-shoot of the 7th Day Adventists. (It needs to be noted....its not illegal for a cult to exist anyway)
Also, there is much evidence mostly from former members of the church that the claims of brainwashing, Koresh having multiple wives/children and such is completely false. These claims were part of a massive propaganda campaign in order to justify the actions taken against the church.
Lastly, Koresh's statement in no way indicates that he claimed to be Jesus. In fact, throughout that interview he refers to Jesus many times as a seperate person than himself. Claiming to be the son of God does not mean he is claiming to be Jesus.

why because you made a rule that says so? im pretty sure only christians get exorcisms, so they must be possessed by demons.
i have never met an athiest who was looking for exorcism!

That's what they said about Jesus, too.

19 There was again a division among the Jews because of these words. 20 Many of them said, “He has a demon, and is insane; why listen to him?”

That time was different. God has already given us Revelation of exactly how he will return in His word.

But how do we know John of Patmos wasn't also possessed?

Exactly. Anyone could say that they are Jesus and they would be correct. I AM you and YOU ARE me because we are all the I AM.

Because the Bible says so.

Jesus said, "The pharisees and the scribes have taken the keys of knowledge (gnosis) and hidden them. They themselves have not entered, nor have they allowed to enter those who wish to. You, however, be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves."

When they asked Jesus if he was The Christ, he said "you say that I am".
The Spirit of humility just doesn't feel to be in this guy.

2 - The bible doesnt' contain all the truth in the universe. Even the bible says that Jesus taught more than all the books in the world could hold, and that he had more to teach but 'they weren't ready for it yet'.
