The late 60’s and early 70’s was a time for free love, peace and change. People sought out religious communities and like minded individuals to share in these experiences.

Luz de Amor continues her story throughout her teenage years into young adulthood. She talks about the sexual abuse of the younger teens and the changes that started to take place during this period. Lou also explains her experience getting in trouble with one of the “uncles” for minor child indiscretions. She tells memories of her childhood that she looks back on fondly and then others that are difficult to even talk about. One aspect of her childhood that she still smiles about today, would be music involvement. Lou was fortunate enough to not only learn about music from trained adults but she also was able to perform in front of many people.

The Children of God cult started with a prophecy from a mother to her son and quickly evolved into an international phenomenon. David Berg would influence thousands of children and adults to forsake all and follow his direction for decades. David's idea of religion and love centered around sex, this included not only the adults but the children as well. They would learn at a very young age how to love their fellow “family” by engaging is sexual acts. This first episode Melissa, Whitney, and COG survivor, Lou discuss how this cult started and how it rapidly grew. Available wherever you get your podcasts.

The late 60's and early 70's was a time for free love, peace and change. People sought out religious communities and like minded individuals to share in these experiences. The Children of God became a worldwide phenomenon. With a foundation based on Christianity, the sermons quickly shifted to an extreme. One of their biggest “selling features” of the group was that they cherished and loved the children as God would. But David Berg's definition of love was much different. As abuse intensified, leadership demands were harder and harder to meet. Self preservation was the only thing that mattered.And now they are Surviving Love.Limited Episode Series coming soon.#cults #sect #survivinglove #childrenofgod #thefamily #thefamilyinternational
