In our conclusion of our coverage of the Children of God/The Family/The Family International/whatever name they use to rebrand their horrible cult this year, we discuss the tenets of the cult as it evolved, the last years of leader David Berg's life, his wife Karen Zerby's rise to prophet after his death, and some of the extremely disturbing abuse that was commonplace within the cult.

We will also talk about Zerby's son, Ricky Rodriguez, or Davidito, as he was known within the cult, who was supposed to be the next in line for status of prophet for the cult, but who was so traumatized and disgusted by the environment in which he was raised, he left the cult and began to see himself as a vigilante for justice for the others who had experienced what he had there. This ended tragically, as it has for a ridiculous amount other second-generation members of this dangerous and destructive cult.
