Beware. This is a doomsday cult. I grew up in this church with my 4 siblings. My parents have been church leaders for about 30 years (positions they bought) My parents abused us as children. Our mom caused us to bleed often. My parents used the church's teachings to justify the abuse. Our mom told us she'd "rather see us die than grow up on this planet." I spent most my childhood fearing my mom was going to kill us. My mom would say, "you will never grow up. You will never have a family." My parents removed us from school and forced us to watch apocalyptic gore-porn most days. My parents are racist. Race is a big part of their doomsday cult. They told us slavery was God's will and the slaves were better off being owned. These days, my mom is extremely angry that I have a happy family who will never be members of her cult. I cut off communication with my mom because she still says I'd be better off dead, since we won't join her hate cult. Sadly, my dad is totally submissive to my mom and supports everything she does. My mom feels empowered because I am dealing with a horrific physical illness. She says God is punishing me. It seems, we will never communicate again. I feel my mom's emotional abuse was causing my illness to progress. I feel at peace not hearing my mom's death wishes for me. I feel sad for Jesus that these people defame his name.
