"I was an elite child soldier in God's army. Every day we were training and preparing for the End Time War, which would mark the beginning of the end of the world."

Meanwhile, everything was super sexualized and boundaries were scarce. There are some very strange and messed up things in this book and, honesty, I need to know more.

TW: child abuse, sexual abuse, neglect

britt_brooke PS. You may be interested to know that River and Joaquin Phoenix (and other siblings), and Rose McGowan grew up in this cult. They're not mentioned in this book, however. 7y
