Then every parent must make a stand for the truth. That is not a little thing. Every lowly shepherd and leader must finally face their conscience--it can only be for the good--unless they were evildoers.
As for the money and lifestyle they have right now living in a cult---look, can you see them doing this 10, 20, 30 years from now?
Do you want to have brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, 20, 30, 40 years younger than you, writing you for support?--With bad grammar and silly Zerby/Berg-dominated syntax?
Do you want to go to your deathbed 60,70, years from now with these reality-challenged siblings giving a eulogy at your funeral about how Jesus is coming back real soon--and oh, yeah, "this dear brother/sister who died backslid from the faith but we pray that in death they have found solace and have seen the true light. If you want to support our work--it is a registered charity, we will be at the chapel doors to collect..."
What if Jesus doesn't come back for say---2000, 3000 years--do you want your relatives in the cult to continue to live like a hopped up tribe of inbred hillbillies(apologies to real hillbillies) on the borders of America, with never more than junior high school education?
Do you want them to grow old and die having never known a lucid pure thought of reality, only sentimental emotional tripe delivered by pedophiles who used the Bible for their own ends and a life hidden from engagement with REAL people--only flunkies who obeyed without question?
