One of my uncles was a "missionary" in the Children of God cult, aka The Family International. He was married and had like 8 or 9 kids and they all spent something like 20 years traveling around the world doing...... I don't even want to know what but several of my cousins had to go to therapy for it.  I only found this out about 3 years ago. Growing up I was always told that my uncle and his family were globe-trotting (ostensibly) Christian missionaries but not what denomination they were part of, and then when I was 17 that uncle died and during the funeral proceedings my grandfather made an indirect comment about them being part of some kind of new age cult but nobody would tell me what specific cult. I think my cousins are all out of it now, but we're not sure about my aunt; last I heard she moved to Canada and has been out of contact ever since. I. M.

Here's a horrifying fact I just learned. You know how FYAD just changed its forum title? Yeah..... turns out this is what the Children of God cult actually believes. Wikipedia posted:"Loving Jesus" is a term TFI members use to describe their intimate, sexual relationship with Jesus. TFI describes its "Loving Jesus" teaching as a radical form of bridal theology.[29] They believe the church of followers is Christ's bride, called to love and serve him with wifely fervor; however, this bridal theology is taken further, encouraging members to imagine Jesus is joining them during sexual intercourse and masturbation. Male members are cautioned to visualize themselves as women, in order to avoid a homosexual relationship with Jesus. Many TFI publications, and spirit messages claimed to be from Jesus himself, elaborate this intimate, sexual relation they believe Jesus desires and needs. TFI imagines itself as his special "bride" in graphic poetry, guided visualizations, artwork,[30] and songs.[31] Some TFI literature is not brought into conservative countries for fear it may be classified at customs as pornography.[32] The literature outlining this view of Jesus and his desire for a sexual relationship with believers was edited for younger teens,[33] then further edited for children.[34] I.
