David Berg created a cult in the 1967, a sex cult. He preached about the end of days, and how Jesus loved for us to have sex.

Unfortunately it was not just adults he preached having sex with. This cult is riddled with child abuse allegations, with victims that included his own family, and a few celebrities  we know today.

Warning, there is a lot of discussion of abuse in this episode. If that is not your cup of tea, we see you back next week.
