Advertisements [?]

I ran into in the mid 1970's. I just found some and here is a link to a WA PO article from 1993 on them:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/cult/children_of_god/child1.htm

They are AKA "The Children of God". When I briefly talked with some of them - and some who left them after a short time - they seemed to have a lot of money and to advocate sex with pre-teen children. They had a farm in Northern California in 1975...

FWIW.
