Vernon along with 25 disciples. but later He became the leader of vernon, He created a cult and he began to attract largely vulnerable and insecure people to his flock, he got married with a girl of 14 year old, but decided that he could have a harem of many wives as he wanted. in 1986 began preaching that he was entitled to have 140 wives, 60 women as his "queens" and 80 as concubines, based on their interpretation of the Song of Songs, Bible.
He set up a harem which he called his house of David. Some of his concubines were as young as 10 years. He created a goon squad that he called mighty men. Koresh then claimed that he was not only the only one allowed to have as many wives as he wanted, but also the only one who could have a wife. He eventually 'married' as many as 19 cult women and fathered at least 12 of their children. but it result that he was a rapist and a insane, who wanted to have sex with minors.
