Cults and Homestead Heritage, the religion that kills

You are so right!! It's about time this cult was investigated. I did not live there or know them very personally, but when I lived in Grandview, TX, I would visit sometimes and inquire about their doctrinal beliefs. This was always very guarded information and you could not attend their church. I was with a Mennonite Cult at that time,so I was sure,after many visits,this cult was even worse.Any "Christians" that have deep secrets, BEWARE OF THEM !! Jesus never did anything in secret and neither should we. When people have secrets, that should be evident that they obviously have something to hide!! The church/school in Grandview was a hot bed of secrets , lies and Judgement. The Bishop beat my son, age 7, with a thick,heavy "paddle",as I was forced to watch! My precious little boy could barely walk for at least,2 weeks! He was heavily bruised from his hip area down to his knees! All I could do was cry and think...is this really right? My son was also molested by an older boy and he was so embarrassed to tell me. When I finally figured out what he was trying to tell me, with little hints, I went to the "preacher and his wife about this and all they did was to call my son a liar!!My 2 daughters, ages 5 and 12 at the time were mentally abused. From the scars that left in their life, I don't know which abuse was worse! I worked and THEY managed my money and controlled my life   and took away our identity. After living there for two years, my 19 yr. old daughter,Ashlie, died!! The judgement passed on her life and forced on me, was unbearable.I left TX,went to MO and then up to PA, all in search of a "real" church.All I needed was my Bible and time alone with God!! I am now free, but my son and 2 daughters are still hurting and searching for the truth. I was glad to know that the locked door had been opened and maybe there is hope for some...especially ,the children! Please, do all you can to save the children from the darkness!! I am praying for you in this investigation. Sorry to take so long,but it's hard to shorten.....young lives filled with so much pain. Thank you so very much,   Sincerely, Deborah Taylor Gerth
