Flirty Fishing: Exploitation Under the Veil of Faith

This chapter investigates the disturbing practice of 'flirty fishing' within a cult, revealing how it served as a mechanism for sexual trafficking and control disguised as a religious expression. It critically examines the theological justifications put forth by cult leader David Berg, who manipulated scripture to legitimize the exploitation of female members. The discussion also reflects on the ethical dilemmas associated with monetizing intimate acts and the broader societal implications of such narratives.
