Well here’s a little history.
I’ve never told anyone this other than my kids. But here goes with a little venting and light shedding. I know everyone thinks Watchman the guy who commited suicide was a great guy. Back in 1970 or 1971 Mother Eve amongst many other COG leaders finally convinced me to marry a certain woman to my great reluctance. We had a little ceremony around a campfire but were not yet legally married when we spent our first horrifying night together. I wasn’t at all thrilled with her personality but when she finally took her clothes off and got on top of me I decided right then and there that I could in no way spend my life with this woman. The next day I asked my colony shepherd , Watchman , if I could discuss my marriage situation with him. Watchman had told me a few times in casual conversation over the prior year and a half that he was a Karate expert. Anyway he took me down to the basement of our house for our meeting. I told him I could in no way be married to this woman. He had a magazine in his hand and rolled it up and came at me with it over his head and held it over my head and threatened to beat the hell out of me if I didn’t stay with this woman. I stayed with her and continued to have problems. I didn’t want to have sex with her and she complained to Watchman regularly. Finally he forced us to have sex in front of him so he could observe my sexual performance and see if he could figure out the problem. I must confess that when I heard that Watchman commited suicide I was glad. To this day as evil as it might be I feel a sense of satisfaction that he got what he deserved. I do fight that feeling and realize that he had merely become (many years ago) the product of David Berg. A clone. A true tyrant. It was as if someone had taken Berg’s evil ,self righteous, holier than thou, all knowing ,never wrong sickness and cloned it. I‘m venting here and shedding a little light on some of the evil that Berg created. I may shed more light about someone else’s evilness (that makes Watchman look like a Saint He is a pedofile and child rapist ) Achiek one of the moderators of this board said that he and his wife are wonderful people on the Crossfire board. That was about a year ago. She apparently had /has no clue about that guy. He is a true scumbag in every sense of the word. He was a well know musician in the COG. Keep me in your prayers about that slimeball as I think about him regularly and what I should do. My daughter whom he raped has asked me to simply let it be. I’m not so sure. He also molested over the course of a year and a half and possibly raped a 9 year old girl. Anyone who knows about child abuse and does not report it to the authorites is guilty of a crime. There's lot's of people who are or were in the COG who knew about these abuses and said and did nothing. I wonder how much Mother Evil knew about Berg's abuses. Maria is defintely guilty of that crime and should be jailed along with top COG leadership.
