...their beliefs are just so "way out there" for the 21st century, they make everything the Mormons or JW have to offer look like child's play:
"Loving Jesus" is such an obvious joke - most members even don't believe in it; their take on prophecy has been totally debunked by obviously foul prophesies like the ones about Art Linkletter, Elvis' wife and the false Tamar prophesies/pictures (and many others); their reliance on hundreds of painstakingly documented "spirit-helpers" and their antidotes (Helpers and Hinderers) makes Catholics look like beginners in spiritism; their endtime prophesies have been revised every decade to accommodate new realities; the "Keys" are an obvious non-working entity as members are still dying of cancer and every other disease in the book; their sexual sharing philosophy and practise has all but abated because it never worked and only caused endless pain and strife in relationships, and, and, and...

Their newly (2 years ago) announced "offensive" will indeed turn out to be very offensive to a lot of members because it will remain a paper tiger, just like all previous pushes, purges and so called revolutions.
