Faith Berg

Faith Berg, Jan. 2002

Faith Berg (born 1953) is the youngest of David Berg’s four children. It is uncertain how many times she has been married or mated, but conjugal aliases include Dietrich in the late 60s and early 70s and Fischer in the 90s. According to her sister Deborah Davis, Faith's father engaged her in incestuous relationship throughout her childhood and adult life. Faithy (as she is commonly known) denies Deborah’s claim and has defended her father’s teachings concerning the benefits of parents’ masturbating of their children:

"Childhood Sex: I like it! It reminded me of how you used to put me to sleep when I was a little girl, 3 or 4. Wow! Daddy did it best! Back rubbin' that is, and front rubbin' too!...Daddy just made me feel good all over and I didn't know why, but it would really put me to sleep with a sigh! Praise the Lord! I don't think it perverted me, none at all, but it sure converted me to his call! So I believe our parents should try it and help our kids to get the natural habit! We pray it'll work, then junior won't be a sexual jerk! It worked for me as you can see, I just do what comes naturally! Oh I could write a book, but this is just a look into my childhood sex!"

From Faithy's reaction to "My Childhood Sex!" (ML 779), as quoted in the Judgement of Lord Justice Ward.

Many first and second generation members who have known Faithy over the years report that she enthusiastically embraced the sexual liberties preached by her father. Some of the most blatant sexualization of children occurred when Faith was a Family leader in Greece with the “Music with Meaning” ministry during the 1970s.

In the mid-1970s, Faith was her father’s envoy to Muammar Qaddafi, among the first generation of Islamicists to challenge U.S. power through state-supported terrorism. Faith returned to Amsterdam to sing Qaddafi's praises to a crowd of 500 young people:

"...I asked if I could use the microphone and the P.A. system of the place and I stood up and said, "I would like to sing a song which is written by a friend and brother of ours, Colonel Godahfi." I didn't know if they would shoot me or what, if they were Zionists or what they were. So I asked our group to play the music and we started singing, "Allah, Allah," and I would raise my hands to draw their attention to what we were singing about. At the end of the song many were lifting their hands with us and singing with me and we would sing it over and over again."

From "MO Meets Mo’amar Godahfi!" (ML 394), which has since been ordered purged by The Family.

With the Reorganization Nationalization Revolution (RNR) in 1983, a series of dressings-down and re-education sessions began Faithy’s decade-long purge from her father’s inner leadership cricle. Following her initial “re-education” by her father and Karen Zerby, Faithy reportedly oversaw the videotaping of Family women and girls in seductive dance videos. (See: Heaven’s Harlots by Miriam Williams; Chapter 9, Crossroads.)

In the late 1980s, Faithy underwent yet another “re-education” session at the Heavenly City School (HCS) in Japan. By this time she was no longer in the line of succession to her father's throne.

Faith Berg reportedly has had a serious drinking problem for many years. Despite this, she initiated a humanitarian aid effort under the auspices of Family Care Foundation in the early 1990s. By 1998, Project Aid/Siberia was chosen to distribute several million dollars in commodies from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to the people of Novosibirsk, Russia.

After Archpriest Alexander Novopashin of the Russian Orthodox Church complained about Faithy using a US- government sponsored organization to spread her fathers' doctrines and participate in orgies [1], she was confronted by Steven Kelly in 1999 and dispensed from any official role in The Family International.

Faith currently lives near her mother in Houston, Texas.
