I watched the videos not long ago. Something has been bothering me and nagging at me ever since. There is a moment somewhere in there, where the leader of that bible study group says something like, "ever since the Great Tribulation was announced"...
That means that the GB could actually announce to the rank and file that they are in the Great Tribulation. And those people would believe it. They would have their 'go bags' and retreat to their bible studies and never know that it isn't true. The thought terrifies me. With so many changes happening in the cult, I can actually believe it will end and possibly even in my lifetime. I never felt that way before. I have begun to wonder if the GB would do exactly this when the fall of the cult is near and... give themselves a head start in getting out of town so to speak.
I know that sounds a bit melodramatic. But it also is something I can actually see happening. Do you all think it could happen like that?
'Just hide in a basement, and when they find you, offer your wrists for the handcuffs. Be submissive. Let them take your kids. Stand there and do nothing but stare at them"
I like this advice. I hope it would mean that those people would get help getting out that much faster.
