Rose McGowan: how to survive and escape Cult

Rose McGowan is nine years was something other than traditional. They spent the children of God sect, group, lauded the virtues of free love and prepare for the second coming of Jesus.

Although it proved to be harrowing experience – fled with his family, he says, the cult began to advocate for children for adult sexual relations – such as setting the first “truly idyllic,” says the actress, 38 years to achieve fame on TV and now Charmed Conan the Barbarian play in 3D.

“I grew up in a pastoral setting” – in particular in the Italian countryside, where her parents were members of the local branch of the children of God. But McGowan, who was born in Florence, instinctively know that is not a place.

“I’ve always been who I am,” he says, explaining that while she believes in God or in accordance with the hippie lifestyle, and certainly not with their aesthetic and subordinate role of women in the sect.

Even in its infancy, McGowan rebelled. “I did not want to be like those women. There was essentially to serve men sexually,” he says.

When her father began to worry that he could be bothered Rose says: “My father was strong enough to realize that the hippie love gone south.”

God’s children fled with her father and siblings and moved to the U.S. McGowan reminds that “it was not easy to assimilate” into mainstream life. “Brothers and sisters, we all thought was boring.”

Many years later she returned to the small town in Italy, with her then-boyfriend, rocker Marilyn Manson. “We created quite a stir,” he admits.

Looking back at her early experiences, reflected McGowan with humor, some dangers and problems they face. Contrary to wear down the hippie look of the cult, he says, “I came from the womb of waving red lipstick.”

Nevertheless, the memories left a big impression. While expression of gratitude to her father, who died in 2008, McGowan tears. Usually, when he realizes the experience is everything you ever knew, and made him who he is.

“There are people who will read this story and think I had a strange existence,” she says. “I think they‘ve had a strange existence!”
