what i cant understand is this- after those kids were seized, and placed in foster homes, the foster parents were told to remove anything red from the home as apperantly red is against their religion

somewhere there is a gaping flaw in logic

Red is bad... Red must be removed... Blood is red... Oh Snapz! :U

Kinda makes me thirsty... >:3

I hate to admit it, but they are INCREDIBLE at debating and arguing.
That's probably how they got the amount of followers that they have.
Their confidence is amazing as well. It's those kind of qualities that can really suck people in.
I agree with Zina, it's absolutely fascinating.
Although, I completely disagree with their messages. If they had their loud, confident personalities but were preaching love and acceptance and all that happy jazz instead of their message of hate and sin, who knows what could happen? It's a shame they're so hatred-oriented. It seems they've forgotten wrath is a deadly sin. Or maybe they haven't, and are simply trying to incite it in other people.

Also, it gives me a kind of sick pleasure when I see the kids that don't actually know what the hell they're preaching about.

They are incredible at screaming hate-speech at the top of their lungs. They don't have a lot of followers. 70 people is not exactly a major religious denomination. The only way they get more recruits on a somewhat regular basis is by indoctrinating their children into their little death-cult.
It gives me no pleasure to see those kids parrotting their parents about sin and hate and death and hell, because believing these things in such an extremist way will sap the enjoyment out of their young lives rather quickly. It makes me very sad.

such a life would be such a chore, i only hope those kids do like children everywhere and endeavor to rebel against their parents at every opportunity.

QuoteI hate mankind, for I think myself one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am.
Some will fall in love with life,
and drink it from a fountain;
that is pouring like an avalanche,
coming down the mountain.

Well, it seems they're protesting at a military funeral about 30 minutes away from my home town tomorrow. Short notice as it is, it's..... very tempting to pay them a visit. I really don't know what I'd do in person. Kinda scary that they'll be the next town over.
