Police: Girl raped, then relocated

...The victim said Phelps told her she would be put up for "church discipline," where parishioners go before the congregation to apologize for their sins.

She asked why. "Pastor Phelps then said that (Willis) may have been 99 percent responsible, but I needed to confess my 1 percent guilt in the situation," the victim told the police.

"He told me that I should be happy that I didn't live in Old Testament times because I would have been stoned."...

Mother's Day is Evil

The following brief quote is pasted below for critical review.

Do you think this quote is evidence of delusional thinking or cultism?

"The so-called 'Mother's Day' was observed in America first in 1914, the very year that Satan's world ended and when he knew his time was short to get ready for the great battle of Armageddon. To induce the people to bestow special honor and worship upon mothers would be one step towards turning the people away from the worship of God, and this is one of his means of preparing for Armageddon... On the face of it the arrangement of 'Mother's Day' seems harmless and calculated to do good. But the people are in ignorance of Satan's subtle hand in the matter, and that he is back of the movement, to turn the people away from God. The slogan is, 'The best mother who ever lived,' the purpose being to establish creature worship, or at least to divert the attention of man from the proper worship of God." (Vindication, Vol. I, 1931, pp. 188-189)

He has since disowned five-year-old Jepheth Asamoah, who is currently in the custody of the Social Welfare Department in the district, even after his release....

On false predictions

Many groups who make false predictions simply revise their history to claim they didn't.

One well-known group deletes and edits published articles from their archives--they've been doing it for over a century, and although there is some attrition each time, the majority of lemmings swallow it whole.

Blackwhite.

Here's an example of a deleted article.  Because truthiness rocks. ;)

Here the church is claiming the year 1975 will be very significant, and "possibly" Armageddon.  They said that over a dozen times previously too--all whitewashed.
