That blood will be on Jehovah's hands, and it'll happen soon.

As one who's family has been infested by the cult, I know that they believe only the strictest adherents will survive End Times to inherit the Earth. Those seven million members will then wage a short 1,000 year final battle with Satan to decide who will rule o'er Jehovah's Kingdom. While they are granted a deserving eternal life, the rest of us are akin to dead roadkill. See? It's not that crazy at all.

My son fell deeper and deeper into the cult over the last several years. He quit his good paying factory job because they wouldn't give him enough time to participate and broke communication with lifelong friends and his entire family. When my grandchildren began to rebel and refused the thrice weekly "meetings", he got more and more "assertive" until he smacked them and threw them out of the house one by one last fall. Now essentially disowned, they live with a mother who never really wanted them nor is able to take care of them. She just wants out and the boys have turned to delinquency, including felony.

He had to take such extreme measures because it was literally a matter of life and death to him, and no one wants to see their kids die. Thank goodness they can't vote or run for office. Don't get me going.

your family has been poisoned by this cult.

I know someone who married young and out of the cult and her family disowned her. Sadly, she and her husband divorced, and she is back in stronger than ever.
