Cult.

This was all I needed to read:

"The Family International (TFI), formed as the Children of God (COG) "

I think they called it 'Flirty Fishing' back when I was in college. Also referred to by others as 'Hooking for Jesus'.
 
Old Moses David is still kicking around? I thought he disappeared after his son turned on him and exposed all the sicko stuff they were up to a long time ago...

You'd have to know a little about the Children of God cult, which my eldest brother was involved with somewhat way back in the early '70's, to know the significance of that name.

Thanks! :doh:
 
Here in Europe they have been undergoing a destabilization for a least a couple of years. They claim that "flirty fishing" is a thing of the past and they are no longer required to live in communal situations. Theologically, I don't know what changes may be occurring.

The burden is on them at this point. It's going to take more than a name change and some self serving statements before they can be considered brothers and sisters in the faith.
