History

The Family International has maintained a presence in Argentina since the early 1970s. A report by "Faith David" (Faith Berg) dated January 1976 noted that "Watchman had helped to establish our first colonies in...Argentina." ("Viva South America!" --Faith David 1/76, No. 57, GP. pg. 14, paragraph 81). At some point, members of the Family in Argentina legally registered an organization, Asociacion Los Ninos de Dios Internacional, in the Fichero de Cultos no Catolicos y Disidentes (Registry of non-Catholic and dissident sects) of the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores y Culto (Ministry of External Relations and Culture).

On October 2, 1977, in a resolution numbered 222/977 the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores y Culto cancellled inscription number 1595 belonging to Asociacion Los Ninos de Dios Internacional for "systematic activities against the public order, morals and good customs." Thus, after October 2, 1977, the Children of God was an illegal and banned organization in Argentina. As a result of this and other legal problems, The Family abandoned Argentina for a brief period in the late 1970s. However, internal publications suggest that even after the the organization was banned, some Family leaders believed they were a "legal association" and that the Family continued to operate in Argentina:

Argentina, with 25 million people, is very European, a very hard people. We are no longer in Argentina due to escalated guerilla and police activities and twelve disciples have been thrown into jail and some tortured. (Please pray for them!) At one time we had quite a few Argentinian disciples but I understand most or many of them have left the team. We do have some catacombers there. Despite the fact that we have no disciples there, we are a legal association. Ideal for secret, underground FF'ing!
