Children of God (aka: Family of Love, The Family, Family International) was a sex-centered Christian cult started in California, 1968. Many cult groups employ love bombing in the early recruitment stages, but in the seventies the Children of God accelerated this to flirty fishing (FFing) — women in the group using sex to recruit new members, and to draw income (aka: "witnessing").
In the early eighties, True Komix were published to illustrate guru David Berg's letters and stories. The "adults only" collection expounded on all matters sexual, particularly FFing with heavy doses of pimp psychology tactics.

Please note: most of the comic entries are goofy and entertaining, but they occasionally become disturbing. Proceed with caution.
