walked around in their underwear or a sarong tied around their waist, even in the garden. Despite our attempts to keep a low profile, word spread round the neighbourhood that a group of foreigners had moved in. Our property was near a coconut grove and a local man climbed up one of the trees to peek into the "foreigners' garden." He was treated to the sight of topless women in sexy underwear. Next thing we knew, every man who could climb a tree did so to see for himself. This exposure was terrible for our security. Instead of putting on clothes, someone had the bright idea to make signs saying "Peeping Tom." When a man was spotted up a coconut tree, the warning signs would be posted at every outside door. If a sign went up it meant that no one was allowed to go outside. When the all clear was given, the signs came down and everything went back to normal—or what was normal for us: adults having sex in the swimming pool, hanging up the laundry and playing badminton in our underwear.
Music with Meaning
had been the Family's ministry for five years, but when the media and government officials discovered that the show was a front for the Children of God, the radio stations dropped it. The Family had to adapt in order to survive. It was sad the day Dad completed his last and final

show. He took me down to the studio as he packed up his master tapes. I knew he was very disappointed to have to end Music with Meaning and like me, he disliked being confined to the house, but he told me he resigned himself to it as part of his sacrifice for the Lord.
"I've been given a new project," Dad explained to me. "Grandpa's asked me to write stories for children about life in his house, and about Davidito, Davida, and Techi. The series is going to be called
Life with Grandpa
. I've never written children's stories before, but I'll give it a try." He always tried to remain upbeat, but he admitted that he would miss recording.
"How will you write about them unless you get to meet Grandpa and the children?" I asked.
"They'll send me all the information I need, and there's a lot in the Mo Letters as well, some that haven't been published."
Ultimately,
Life with Grandpa
became a series of comics compiled in seven books.
With the
Music with Meaning
era officially over, our Home was also given another new project--to record a series of music tapes that we could sell to the public under the name of Heaven's Magic. I spent hours with Windy learning harmonies and recording with Armi and Mene in the studio room. I looked forward to recording because it broke up the monotony of my day.
At the same time the Home was also given the project of producing color posters that could be distributed to the public and we received new members from other World Services homes to work on this. One of them was Eman Artist. He was commissioned by Mo to illustrate the posters and a series of comics called
Heaven's Girl
. Mo wrote of a dream he had of a young teen girl, "Heaven's Girl," who had superpowers to defeat the Enemies of God, the Antichrist police forces, in the Endtime. She was also an expert Flirty Fisher. Mo said
Heaven's Girl
would be our role model, and like her we would become superheroes for God and that we would be able to call on God's zap rays to destroy our enemies by blinding them. On the other hand, some of us would have to die as martyrs for the faith. I had no doubt that it would happen—and soon.
Eman needed a model that fit Mo's description of Heaven's Girl. All the females in the house took turns posing semi-nude for him and photographs were sent to Mo for his approval. In the end, Mo chose his own granddaughter, Mene. He even said that she could be the one to fulfil the vision and lead us in to the Endtime. In one picture, Eman Artist drew Mene—Heaven's Girl--standing with her arm outstretched with a rod in her hand, while the earth swallowed up Antichrist soldiers and army tanks.
