Growing up in the 1970's in a religious cult known around the world as the Children of God, Ricky Rodriguez was revered as "the prince." The group's leaders were his mother and stepfather, and they taught that their son would guide them all when the End Times came. He was so special that his unconventional upbringing - by a collection of often-topless young nannies - was chronicled in "The Davidito Book," which was distributed to cult members as a how-to guide for rearing children. And children the cult had in multitudes.

I've run across these cult members before as they handed out anti-war pamphlets 'round the neighborhood. The phamplet was titled, "God's position of War" and actually quoted God. It didn't quote scripture but commentary supposedly from God.
Is that related to the "WWJD" crowd?

Who are the WWJD crowd?
WWJD was started by Christian fundamentalists, school age if I recall who measured their actions by asking what would Jesus do in these circumstances. Word eventually got out and started a fad of WWJD bracelets. Nothing like a "cult" that would perform pagan acts.
What is your defintion of the WWJD crowd?
Well no since the answer to WWJD is "he would not do the things that happened in this story".
There was a group of anti-war protesters many months ago holding signs with WWJD on it. I recently saw a bumper sticker, too, that said something like "WWJD? Not Attack Iraq!"
Probably a perverted form of the message.
Ever hear of Sodom and Gomorrha? (that's the answer I use, anyway)
The COG/Family of Love/Family International are not connected to WWJD.
