Inside shadowy beliefs of ‘cult’ on trial
Published By admin with Comments 0
Inside the group known as The Saints, everything was geared towards worshipping the Lord.
They would meet once or twice a week, singing songs of praise and sharing a meal before being led by scripture from their leader, the “messenger” from God, Brendan Luke Stevens.
Church and Easter were not celebrated, school was only seen as a tool to recruit more believers and interactions with “outsiders” not members of the church were discouraged.
Most importantly, the use of medicine and medical treatment was specifically shunned.
These are just a snapshot of some of the shadowy practices of the Toowoomba-based home church group that have been laid bare in a Supreme Court trial of its 14 members who are accused of causing the death of eight-year-old Elizabeth Struhs in early 2022.
