Starting as the Process Church of the Final Judgement in the UK and morphing into the Foundation Faith of God in the US - it was controversial in many ways. It evolved over the years and now has no religion, functioning solely as Best Friends Animal Society. There's much that hasn't been told about 30+ kids that were 'raised' in this cult. Cult orphans is a fair way to describe us. These are stories of my growing up in this cult along with lessons learned and some episodes with my sister. Please support!
