@calistories.tv: A coffeehouse near the Huntington Beach pier offered young people a “new family.” In 1968, preacher David Berg was drawing in people who felt shut out by society. Then came the demands: give up your possessions, put the group first, and prepare for disaster. In 1969, Berg left California with about 50 followers after warning that a massive earthquake was coming. That group became the Children of God. The darkest part of the story came later. #HuntingtonBeach #OrangeCounty #ChildrenOfGod #CaliforniaHistory #CaliStories
