The strange fact about religious cults is they don't really die very often because
nobody goes broke underestimating people's intelligence.
Religious obsessions are actually self-inflicted wounds after a certain length of time.
You are born into or you convert and it seems like the best thing for awhile.
If you are intelligent you catch on eventually; THIS ISN'T WORKING FOR ME.
You move on.
But--if you are that not so rare personality who can fit into a group which does your thinking for you
and you are more all about FEELING than REASONIG . . . you'll go along to get along.
Did you know there are still International Bible Students around who teach only what Pastor Russell came up with?
What does that tell you?
