The Dying Church Jd Nielssen

Too many deaths associated with an Oregon church has made headlines for decades. Ex-members describe it as a "cult." For nearly 30 years, the Oregon church that Clark and his family belonged to controlled every aspect of his life. Clark was tired of the prison that he was born into, so he snuck out in the middle of the night as his family slept to an awaiting car, that would take him away to start life from scratch. The church made up solely of mult-generational family members, controlled medical care, education, dating, sexuality and more. Follow Clark on his journey, the pain he suffered and what he lost. Along with research, the author relays his story first hand. The more sense one tries to make of it, only uncovers more and more bizarre and sad truths.
