I saw this documentary. Arrgghh!! The one kid that was focused on, Levi, is now a preacher. He doesn't seem to be so extreme, but is still very fanatical. The one child that had a fighting chance was the little boy who had the guts to question what was going on at Becky Fischer's concentration camp.

This preachers abuse is astounding, treating kids like this! I would not be surprised to find her drowning puppies or kittens that she claims are possessed. I would like to see charges pressed against people like her, forcing minors to believe in her cult. She give the word " vile" a whole new meaning.

I don't know if this was mentioned, but this sounds a lot like Hitler's Youth Programs. Indoctrination of kids at scary levels. They would rat out their own parents if they caught them trying "Potter".

This has nothing to do with devotion to God and everything to do with devotion to a specific church and/or pastor. People like Becky Fischer are power freaks who use religion as a smoke screen for their desire to control. If this woman was a CEO in charge of a large company she'd be a terror.

ahhh the slippery slope of organized religion.
Becky Fischer, along with her entire cadre of criminals don't belong in jail; they belong in a zoo as missing links.

Agreed, the only religion that should be taught is of the historical variety. And only so we don't repeat our histories same mistakes yet again.

Becky Fischer belongs in jail. She is a child abuser and I wouldn't be at all surprised if she uses absolutely anything under the sun to break these kids, including molestation.

Unfortunately, Pentecostal fanaticism like this cloisters their children until the inculcation is complete in their pastor’s eyes. The little girl near the end of the film is a result of years of training to “Push” people on the street, proselytizing in a way that avoids rebuke from adults to children. A proselytizing adult would be run off. This is a very scary film that everyone needs to see. A valuable training documentary to alert parents and children to the result of religious indoctrination.

Hopefully... High School & College (if they get there) will help these abused children (brainwashing is abuse) back to the real world. But, boy, it won't be easy for them. It's hard enough for regular kids, but these guys will have even farther to go!
I'm sure a lot of it is something I think is genetically hardwired into the not-yet-fully-developed child brain: Please the parents/authority figure. That nutty preacher is using that... and the children. She's a user. - 10 months ago

If you haven't seen Jesus camp, you ought to. It is mind numbing. The narrator in this clip said it best: These kids are being told to take on the weight of the world. I would be greatly interested in seeing a follow up in a few years.
