In the second episode of our series on The Children of God cult, we continue our discussion on the establishment of the cult. We look at David Berg’s life in seclusion, and we take a deep dive into his written ‘scripture,’ the “Mo Letters.”
These Mo Letters would lead the cult down a dangerous path of sexual abuse, child neglect, and child sexual assault. We’ll also discuss “Flirty Fishing,” a controversial practice of evangelical proselytizing through sex. Finally, we look at how David used Biblical scripture to justify incest, sexual assault, and “child brides.”
