Cult Killer: Ricky Rodriguez' Revenge Against the Family of God


by Paula Neal Mooney

I don't know how many of you caught 20/20's two-hour special about revenge last night, which devoted an entire hour to the new movie Cult Killer, a documentary about Rick Rodriguez, but it was amazing.

And it's beyond sad when people pervert the Word of God and turn it into something weird that serves their own demonic doings. That's what a group dubbed both "The Family" and "Children of God" did, led by David Berg.

That's David Berg in this photo with his "foster" son, Ricky Rodriguez, a little boy who suffered untold sexual abuse. Ricky Rodriguez is the focal point of the new documentary Cult Killer: The Rick Rodriguez Story.

Unfortunately, the abuse Rick Rodriguez suffered -- part of it chronicled in Cult Killer -- drove him to kill and commit suicide and turned him against the real King of kings, Christ.

Watch a preview of Cult Killer: The Rick Rodriguez Story here, but be warned, it contains cursing -- I couldn't find a version that had the expletives bleeped out.

So heartbreaking Paula!

I've often wondered what draws certain people to cults and others to stay away from them...could it be the desire to be loved? The need for "family"? I can't get my head around it.

Those people are not Christians, the Bible says:
"Parents, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord. -Ephesians 6:4

My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update. It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes.

UPDATE: PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK TO DIGG THIS STORY AND TELL DIGG TO PLAY FAIR... by Paula Neal Mooney Many of us know the power of Digg.com, dreamed up by Kevin Rose, who touted it as a "user driven" site that says it allows the general public to determine the stories they want to see make it to the front page by voting for interesting articles they find across the web. The more votes the public gives an article, the better chance it should have to make it to the front page. Theoretically... The power of Digg's front page Digg.com -- according to Alexa -- is now more popular than The New York Times. Getting one of your articles or blog posts to the front page of Digg.com will get your website seen by plenty of eyes. John Chow experienced a one-day traffic record of 55,856 page views when one of his posts hit the front page of Digg.
