In the 1980s, there was a disturbing puppet show called “Life with Grandpa” shown mainly to children part of the Children of God, (or Family International, or variety of other names they have went through over the years) an infamous sex cult run by David Berg.

If you are sensitive to topics like this, I would highly recommend that you avoid this post and the video attached. Believe me: it really is fucked up.

(I legit did not know where else to post this.)

    Fun(?) Fact:

    Rose McGowan was born into this cult and escaped as a teen.

    River and Joaquin Phoenix were born into the cult as well but their parents escaped before their sisters were born.

    Edit: I was incorrect about the Phoenix children birth order
    Edit 2: River and Rain were born before they joined, Joaquin and Liberty were born while they were in it and Summer was born after they left.

    There was a similar video I think by the same channel that also kind of disturbed me.

    CW: extremely morbid shit involving children

    The guy was on a similar Christian kid’s show and he got arrested after chat logs were uncovered where he discussed with another man how much he wanted to kill and eat children and would talk in graphic detail about kids he’s around that he wants to do it to (likely the same children on the show with him.
