In the wind, this is saint mark from the christ family. I see you have someone judging you harshly for what you believe and as far as I know we still have freedom of speech so just tell that guy to back off.

Each person had his or her own experience while in the group and we should be allowed to share what we know without the smart remarks.

Thank you for your reply. It has been very interesting and enlightening to read some of what has been written here on this forum. I've been through many cults including The Christ Family and today I just happen to stumble on another one I did not even know was a cult called Teen Challenge. My counselor at Teen Challenge is my friend to this day and is a very good man, knowing the word of

Regarding the World Wide Church of God, my dad raised me in this church and I am just now finding out it is a cult. It use to be called the Radio Church of God. I remember going to Ambassador College in Pasadena, California. They also had other schools and believed in capital punishment in the classroom. It was a nightmare just to hear about the kids that had to pull their britches down in fr

Hi, this is saintmark, escaped from the cult of the christ family. I will be around here on my computer and when I get time I'd like to keep in touch with others like me that walked barefoot in the "white robe". I live in Nebraska now, originally from California. It's been a long time since I went to the colorado river to see amen, but I still have challenges dealing with t

I agree. The christ family leaders were a very powerful influence through the power of suggestion. If you happened to meet them while on a spiritual search like I was, it was truly like an answer from God to all your prayers because they actually walked exactly like Jesus did, the real Jesus, in a literal sense. They seemed to me to be the only people living the life just as Jesus did. For so

Sparky, sorry, I am not sure where to click to get to the forum. I need to learn more, just don't know where to click to get to it. I see where it says forum.culteducation.com. Is this where I click? This is important to me because after over 30+ years, the christ family is much more to me than a faded memory. I am just now realizing it really was a cult. Thanks.

Thank Marrgaret, These days I take care of people that have something called williams syndrome. It's the hardest job I've ever had, condemned for not working a regular job...God gave me this one. Guess I'm lucky to be worthy. Mark

Thank you for your post Marrgaret. You are right. The Christ Family would say "eat the meat and spit out the bones". I remember Isaiah. I am lucky I was only exposed to the good things while in the group. I am surprized to hear about anything negative. I did not know about the meth or other sins. I walked with most of the leaders and thought these were the only people walking as

Yes, I was there too. My name was saint mark. That was a long time ago but I still feel guilty if I don't walk the way I was taught in the christ family. I remember riding on the top of the frieght trains to mexico, walking to the camp on the colorado river, asking for food "in the name of jesus". Mark

I remember a tan bus with the star of david giving me a ride one night in florida. Bartholomew explained to me the three keys to the kingdom of heaven. A liquidation was performed in which I was required to throw everything I owned in the dumpster except the $80.00 I had just earned. That was money that could be converted to fuel. After walking on a 10,000 mile pilgrimage I was lead to the co

Hello everyone. A long time ago I walked with the Christ Family. I am looking for anyone else that also walked along the Colorado River preaching the three keys to heaven. After all this time I am still affected. My name was saint mark. I still smoke bugler and still believe what I was taught when I was with the group. Thanks for your reply, Mark
