I have an uncle who was caught up in the cult while Herbert W. was alive, after H.W.A.'s death my uncle sort of drifted away from it. Unk. is only about 7 years older than me and during that period of his life he was just plain nuts about the subject. He's bearable now, just barely. He delivered his own two daughters, I don't know if that had to do with some nutty religious principle, he didn't trust doctors, he maybe couldn't afford a doctor because he was sending boat loads of money to support "the ministry" or maybe he was just a whack job. Anyway like I said, he's better now.

Yeah, this is from the "testimony" of the ex-HWA cult member posted yesterday:

"While growing up, my father worked hard to support my brothers, sister and I with very little left over after paying income taxes and MULTIPLE TITHES to the CULT. For years, my mother would cook simple meals and shop at thrift stores, grow gardens and sew clothes for us to make it - and my father made good money - but gave much of it to support the cult’s “iron-fisted” control to OBEY and PAY!"

I can’t remember exactly where my uncle and family had to go every year, either California or Texas. They lived in Missouri, They saved enough money every year to go to some kind of convention. I couldn’t say if it was a church requirement or not but they went every year.
