I don't know. I was wondering who might have heard of something like this. I was reading a post somewhere else that I cannot find and I was thinking about having seen "The Family" in the nineties on TV with their Box Skit and some old songs sung by youth.
Then there was this a video by the Family where young teens were hiding in the wilderness and utilizing some sort of powers against AC forces or something, like an endtime theme and I suppose that is how they view the keys and what they teach youth? That some of their keys will release supernatural powers for the endtime?
I don't know. That is why I am asking. I left a long time ago.

When I was in the Family the refuge farms were set up preparing for the fall of America. I was in Europe and remember reading about places being set up in the states.
I think what makes the Family thing of concern to me is the fear factor used in members including their "littlest" ones. I can't imagine growing up in a Doomsday cult. It was bad enough getting into one as a teen.
