| Ferdy and his brother kidnapped their niece and nephew, let Mrs. Buenger go to prison for hiding them, and took the children to America, where they died later. The police issued warrants for CFW's arrest - it was good training for kidnapping Bishop Stephan at gunpoint. |

Ichabod -
Do you think that the late Jim Jones of Jonestown, secured some of his ideas from the Stephan cult?

GJ - Cults have a lot in common. When a WELS pastor sent me a book about abusive churches, I wrote back, "It sounds like it was written about WELS."
I could also add the LCMS, although the effect of Walther has been watered down.
Cults see women and children as their possessions, to be used by the leaders as they wish. The polygamy first practiced by Joseph Smith among the Mormons is still highly regarded by that cult today. Some estimated that 10,000 polygamist families lived in the Phoenix area, the second largest group of Mormons in America, after Salt Lake City.
Power is invested in a few, who teach that their organization is the only one. Because it is the only God-glorifying group, the leaders are treated as gods. They are infallible.
