In some instances they believed the holy places were of such strategic importance that they would purchase them, sometimes a run down old house, sometimes an empty field, sometimes a warehouse in an industrial area.
The common thread amongst all the purchases were that the properties were a good strategic fit for Klaus Pesch’s business enterprises and using his keen sense of ‘a good real estate deal’ he could lure willing believers to donate their time and finances to create wealth generating businesses for the Pesch family.
In every case the Pesch family would hold either outright ownership or the controlling interest or share in each enterprise; members of ‘The Team’ would be taught to believe that the entire plan was ordained by God which was confirmed by prophesy (conveniently delivered on each occasion with stunning accuracy by Christel Pesch or her sons).
Thus would begin the proven plan of willing participants surrendering a tenth of their time and a tenth of their income to build God’s kingdom here on earth, in the form of a property or enterprise partially or wholly owned and controlled by the Pesch family.
The Pesch family always considered that 79 Mt John Rd in Mandurah was the key to Klaus Pesch’s teaching, the holy place set aside by God as a gift to his long suffering servants after years of faithful service, where he revealed to Klaus that he had earned God’s trust and he should build him a house where the Holy Spirit could reside and where God’s people could come and commune with him (to keep him company and bring an end to the loneliness that he {the Holy Spirit} endures).
As a result of this prophetical revelation from God, delivered with pinpoint accuracy through Christel Pesch and backed up by opening the Bible at random by Klaus Pesch, the Pesch family and their team of followers built two huge towers either side of the existing house on the property.
One tower called ‘The Lords House’ was for the Holy Spirit to dwell in and the other one was for Klaus & Christel to dwell in so that they could be near to the Lord while they lived there.
Three story buildings with a small room at the top of each intended for prayer and solitude (read: upper room).
The ground floor of the ‘Lord’s House’ as everyone in ‘The Team’ called it was the group meeting room for Sunday services and teaching sessions, and doubled as the studio area for Mt Herron Studios. Food and drink were forbidden in this place except for communion which was very rarely celebrated for a multitude of reasons.
The second floor was completed with carpets and blinds but otherwise empty. The Team were taught that this is such a holy room that only Klaus and Christel Pesch were allowed to enter. No one in The Team was considered holy enough to enter the room and; as such not much ever happened up there. Klaus and Christel would pray there once a year but felt that most of the time even they were not holy enough to enter (attack of the conscience maybe?). Sometimes if Team members were feeling especially close to God they could go and sit on the staircase to pray but were warned not to approach the second floor lest their uncleanliness should bring judgment on their family. In the old testament - to approach the holy place with sin was tantamount to death and priests would often enter with a rope around their foot so that they could be dragged out if struck down by God, this was a scripture often used by the Pesch family to warn team members not to approach the holy place to casually. This kind of fear based mechanism was typical of the methods used by the Pesch family to run every aspect of the Lords house from cleaning the windows to keeping the children quiet during a Sunday service.
The upper room on the third floor was where the ‘Holy Spirit’ lives (a kind of ‘Holy of Holies’) and it was unthinkable that anyone would even consider going up there, so much so that a stair case was not installed and the only way up there was by means of a ladder.
The swimming pool in front of the middle house was intended to be symbolically representative of the basin in which the priests of the Old Testament would clean themselves before entering the tabernacle which the Jews transported through the wilderness.
In reality Team members were held accountable for keeping it presentable, purchasing the pool chemicals from their own funds and cleaning it in heir own time, the only people allowed to swim in the pool were members of the Pesch family or their direct relatives.
The vast expanse of lawn and gardens around the ‘Lord’s House’ and the two Pesch’s houses are maintained by Team members, again buying fertilizer, lawn mowers, maintaining sprinkler systems and replacing shrubs from their own funds whilst under obligation to coerce their children to participate in the gardening as an introduction to work in ‘the service of the Lord’, all explained as a sacrifice to the Lord for being able to worship in the house of the Lord.
The children of the various Pesch families, bought up under the spiritual covering of Klaus & Christel, in an assured position of leadership in the
The overall advantage to the Pesch family is that they had a selection of willing gardeners, maintenance staff and pool technicians who would maintain their properties and care for the gardens etc using their own money and time. Altogether quite a coup for the Pesch family.
The unfortunate reality of being part of the team in Australia is that the property that the Pesch’s teach is supposed to be the most Holy in Australia is actually the focal point of spiritual and emotional abuse on an epic scale and from which Klaus and his family have master-minded their corrupt and repugnant enslavement of willing Christians.
