Two words: “I want”.
That is the reason my friend. The “I want” will always trump logic and morality and faith, and reason, and…
It’s human natures “I want” that becomes a “NEED” that will not be denied if you let your “I want” become “I need”.
People are insecure, frightened, confused creatures that seek security and hope and enlightenment in the words an actions of others, some of these “others” are predators and con-artists. Con artists want people who have the “I want” mentality because they will pander to them and present what they “want”. At first it’s at no cost as a friendly act… but when the hook is good a tightly embeded they yank the line and begin the demands to fulfill the hapless fishe’s “I wants”.

“That fact is due to the demonic being involved in all this nonsense!”

Demonic being? You mean Ron’s god, the voice in his head that “gives him understanding”. It’s quite obvious to me that the spirit Ron is listening to is not of God.

Couldn’t disagree with that one.

I guess any man who claims that he and his wife are the Two Witnesses should be called into question as far as their mental health is concerned. That is, unless they start breathing some Fire.

I just wonder why some people seem to be swayed so easily by the crazy claims of these cult leaders just because they quote the Bible.

Maybe I shouldn’t talk though, because I was once swayed by Herbert.

It seems that the illness of religious delusion truly can be contagious.

Maybe we should drop the word “probably”. Now there’s a dillema. Is someone who has been deceived, mentally ill? It is a fact that a cult leader is also a con artist. Ron has definitely been conned by HWA. And Ron is now spinning his own tales and deceiving many.
