I refer to Bryan Denlingers YouTube channel.

"A Voice in the Desert", aka the "Jesus Christians", "Truth Believers" and "End Times Survivors" is a cult that has a YouTube presence and which uses it in order to recruit, often recruiting minors. They have different names, but it's all the same group and it's all controlled by one man: Dave McKay. Minors are groomed for induction into the group, and then when they turn 18 are formally brought into the group. They are told to keep their involvement a secret from their parents. Of course, people who are over 18 join as well, but this group is noteworthy in that they actively groom kids for recruitment using these YouTube channels. Dave McKay is a predator.

Are the Police aware of it, or do they not have any evidence e.t.c...?

I was thinking more along the lines of Bryan Denlinger, who actively 'Doxxes' people who follow his channel, especially if they donate etc...

Of course international the law enforcement community is aware of Dave McKay and his group's activities. The FBI and Australian law enforcement are aware of the group. Dave and his wife live in Australian public housing, and both receive pensions from the Australian government. Not much can be done, because Dave is careful to (generally) stay on the right side of the law. But he is openly grooming minors for induction into his cult. It's not illegal, after all, to communicate with a sixteen or seventeen year old and encourage him or her to join the cult, once they are of age. Does Bryan Denlinger do that? Does he encourage his disciples to donate their kidneys, lobes of their livers and lungs, the females their eggs, etc? Dave McKay does all of that, and more!

No, Denlinger does not go that far.
It would be too obvious.

I had no idea that Cults were actually doing that sort of thing.
Thank you for the information.
Would the Denlinger group on YouTube ' qualify' as a cult ?

They are regularly kicking people out of there little coterie when they disagree with him / call him out on his false teaching.
I do believe that it is a personality cult.

A lot of their members do find it hard to believe that Bryan is wrong, even when it is made clear to them.

Thank you for your reply.

You are very welcome for the information, and for the reply.

Here are ten criteria by which an unsafe group or leader can be discerned. Please read this and judge for yourself whether Denlinger is a "cult leader".

Ten warning signs of a potentially unsafe group/leader.

1. Absolute authoritarianism without meaningful accountability.
2. No tolerance for questions or critical inquiry.
3. No meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget, expenses such as an independently audited financial statement.
4. Unreasonable fear about the outside world, such as impending catastrophe, evil conspiracies and persecutions.
5. There is no legitimate reason to leave, former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil.
6. Former members often relate the same stories of abuse and reflect a similar pattern of grievances.
7. There are records, books, news articles, or television programs that document the abuses of the group/leader.
8. Followers feel they can never be "good enough".
9. The group/leader is always right.
10. The group/leader is the exclusive means of knowing "truth" or receiving validation, no other process of discovery is really acceptable or credible.
