Subsequently, Defendant, The Children of God caused Plaintiff and Plaintiff's husband to live together once more. But Plaintiff's husband always remained under the influence of the Defendants.

In 1976 Defendant David Berg, aka David Brandt, aka David Moses began to prescribe certain conduct for the female members and taught them in the art of sex seduction and to be "Fishers of Men" and "Happy Hookers for Jesus." that being under the influence of the Defendant, Plaintiff was persuaded to be in accord with such activity but reasoned that this was truly contrary to the teachings in the Christian religion and so informed her husband and left the organization, and that her husband also promised to leave.

That Defendants are the agents of the Defendant, The Children of God and are in control of Plaintiff's husband. (I think this language is quite telling and we could use it in a court of law in the future)
