927. Faderhuset

Faderhuset is a cult with roots in Denmark. Officially it has been disbanded but Danish new media have found traces of it located abroad in countries like the Czech republic where the Danish authorities cannot get an agreement with the local authorities to protect the children.

The cult was founded around 1990. They started a school in Copenhagen in 1994 which was closed by the Danish authorities due to the use of an ACE-based curriculum which is found as totally inadequate as curriculum in a civilized society like Denmark is.

They became involved in the political intrigue and basically used as tool by the authorities against Ungdomshuset which was a public house for youth culture in Denmark that was teared down resulting in citywide riots for a full week.

They etablished themselves in a village on the southern Danish island Lolland and took over a hotel in the village of Bandholm. When the local child protection services and the media became concerned about the welfare of the children, the cult declared itself closed and official dismantled. The hotel was sold and went bankrupt because the workers now had to be paid instead of serving for free for the good of the cult. However, the children disappeared and in 2019 the children was tracked to the Czech republic which is known to have housed cults like the infamous WWASP school Morava Academy before.

The Danish child protection services are investigating the cult but they live in protection in the Czech Repulic due to the local authorities lack of interests.

It cannot be fun to live in a cult like Faderhuset if you are a child.

823. Revival Church Kawaala

Being a 15 year old looking for answers regarding religion, it would not be the best choice to go to Revival Church Kawaala. A young woman did and as result she was raped, she claimed. A lot of investigations were pending against the church but with the death of Pastor Augustine Yiga, only the future will show if the problems were due to him or the church in general.

However it is safe to state that it could not have been fun to be there as a teenager.

798. Calvary Gospel Church

Calvary Gospel Church in Madison, Wisconsin has been the center of some media attention lately. So far the local police has not been so keen to look into the claims of now-adult women who claim that they were lured into sexual relationship with older men from the church.

In many religious communities the enclosed nature of community make it difficult to come forward to get protection and justice. Especially if some of the church members also have close ties with the local police. And until recently it has been the norm for many religious communities to deal with such problems internally rather than contacting the authorities to allow them to investigate whether some criminal activities have taken place.

All this secrecy needs to stop. The authorities should always be informed and if the local authorities have too close ties with the church, then the investigation must move to state level or even federal level when needed.

It cannot have been fun to be a teenage girl in this church if the allegations are true.
