BERG, David, "Moses" (1919):
known as "Mo" to his followers,
founder of the infamous CHILDREN OF GOD. Berg began as a PENTECOSTAL Preacher whose
SPIRITUAL REVELATIONS and PROPHECIES led him further and further from ORTHODOXY. In his
writings he claims to have received "revelations" from a host of SPIRITUAL
BEINGS including "The Abominable Snowman" and "The Pied Piper" which
led him to advocate polygamy, sexual recruitment of new members—known as
"flirty-fishing"—and various other questionable sexual practices.
