Oh, you know, verses like Jesus saying in Revelations that he didn't like people cold or hot and if they were lukewarm he'd puke them out of his guts. Sure, "God is love" but sometimes he has to use David Berg's version of tough love and if they want to leave the Family and doubt God's Prophet, Berg, then God "in love" will strike them with cancer, kill then in a car accident, kill their children, curse and damn them with financial woes and all kinds of unimaginable evil.
I remember being in cursing sessions where we cursed our enemies in the name of God. Since God hated backsliders we decided to speed up the process of God killing, cursing, damning, blinding, striking, maiming and crippling our enemies. We prayed for God to damn our God-damned enemies!
Oh yes, and this was all in love and mercy. It was better for the pitiful deceived backslider. Rather than letting them live to continue to heap even more damnation upon their heads if they spoke out against God's anointed prophet, we were actually doing them a FAVOR by praying for them to die. That way they'd have less chance to do evil. Then when they got to heaven, they'd be punished, beaten and whipped less severely at the Judgment Seat of Christ.
Hey, they'd probably even thank us. "Oh guys! Thanks so much for praying for God to kill me! Now I know David Berg is God's Prophet. There! See him sitting at the right hand of Jesus and ruling all heaven. How foolish I was to doubt. Sure is a good thing I was crushed under an oncoming train before I did any more doubting. Please, please, let me be in eternal, everlasting shame and contempt and shine your shoes and grovel at your feet, o you true Family disciple. Uh....halo need polishing? Here, let me be your servant. I'm just grateful to be in heaven."
Heard enough, Paddy?
