Natacha Tormey was born and raised within The Children of God, a religious cult that became infamous for its bizarre sexual practices and religious doctrines. After escaping the cult at the age of 18, she fought for a normal life in society and her struggle gave her the driving force to publish her memoir.

Natacha is a HR Consultant and Writer who strives to raise awareness of the damage that cults impose on their victims and the psychological, physical and emotional aftermaths of a cultic experience. She has recently partnered with SHEARED organisation who work towards the same goals.

She lives in Buckinghamshire with her husband and two very mischievous cats.

Hi Ismaninda,

For me there are several factors. Firstly, there was a blind trust between members of the cult. They all believed that the others must be good people as they were serving God like they were. Because of this naivety, they trusted other members to look after their children and child abusers were able to operate freely in some respects.

Secondly, and unfortunately for all the children in the cult, Berg's doctrines encouraged child abuse. Because of this no one spoke up or tried to stop the abuse, particularly the physical abuse which was common place and dished out under the pretence that children were being disciplined for their own good.

I hope that answers your question and I wish you all the best.

Quotes by Natacha Tormey  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Cults can hide in many places. They are so adept at blending into society and masking their true colours that often their victims do not realise that they were even in a cult until they have escaped it. Nor do they fully comprehend the severity of the brainwashing that they were subjected to, until they are finally free of it.”
Natacha Tormey, Cults: A Bloodstained History

“Breaking free is only the beginning. Then begins the painful process of reversing the indoctrination. The longer someone stays in a cult the harder it is for them to remember who they were before the cult took control of their mind. Or in the case of someone like me, a cult-born child, my entire personality was made and created by them. When I left I had no idea who I was. My whole existence, everything I thought I knew, had been a lie.

But it is the psychological aftermath of life in a cult that is all too often the silent killer.”
Natacha Tormey, Born into the Children of God
