Level 2 · 8 mo agoSaying Houteff led with kindness is a joke. He isolated families and brainwashed them just like Koresh did! You can't call that leadership it's abuse 🙄

Level 4 · 8 mo agoAmen, brother! You are spot on about Houteff paving the way for Koresh. It wasn’t just one bad apple, the whole system was built on abuse. And marrying a 17 year old at 52? That is straight up grooming 🙄 Totally agree.
