When asked about Reid, he assured she was safe and happy in Costa Rica and she could leave on her own accord.

Throughout the interview, his jovial attitude turned to frustration when pressed on his background and details about exactly how many devout followers he has. It's just irrelevant to this conversation. Let's move on to something that matters. Next question. From watching videos posted to Bishop's Facebook page, he believes the actions displayed by the leader and followers fit a textbook definition of cult — "a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.

In December, Bishop and 17 cult members were deported back to the US by the Panama Migration Office after being branded a national security threat.

His collaborator and friend Joe Romersa has over songs they wrote together, but the ahbez estate has not granted him permission to release them. For years prior to his death from a car accident in , he had been working on a book and album to be entitled The Scriptures of the Golden Age, most of which has never been published. That title might have been inspired by his son Tatha, who drowned when he was only One total stranger found him and wanted to film him, and ahbe resisted.
