It really is as strange a story as it gets. When I first heard about it back in last winter, I thought it was just bunch of meth heads who were off their rocker. Apparently, no drugs were involved.
Read the story, and just ask yourself, how can anyone get so deluded????
Blimey. But I'll say this for JW - for whom I have little sympathy; these people may have gone off the rails, and the religion they got sucked into didn't help any, but the organisation itself doesn't seem to be to blame for this. This is just a group of cranks.

It really don't take that much, I used to be so crazy, doing crazy things out of belief, and this belief was guided by a false assumption that the Holy spirit was leading me and speaking to me about other people......If one truly believes the voice in his head is the Holy spirit, then whatever comes in his head has authority to lead wherever it may go.....Thank God I never got violent, but if I had been led in that direction, I would have followed with complete loyalty in knowing unequivocally that the Holy spirit led me to do whatever it was I heard.

One wonders how anyone could possibly reach the point of such delusion. Then remember the Heaven's Gate religious group who decided that they could interface with an alien spacecraft trailing behind comet Comet Hale–Bopp, by committing suicide.

Twenty years after Hale-Bopp, it's as if delusional people are now in charge of the US government. Because people steeped in religious delusion are largely the very people that voted for and have continued to support Donald Trump.

Reason: Can't understand why you got this place mixed up with the Politics forum.

Surprised more wasn't edited, you speak about politics, and nobody can answer you.........
My underlined, this aint a place to bring your political dramas, there is plenty of people in the political forums. PLEASE KEEP POLITICS OUT OF RELIGION, THANKS.
But the JWs do have a history of false prophecies/predictions regarding Armegeddon.
As I say -the religion wasn't directly to blame for this exactly, but it didn't help.

Any questions?
You missed the bit about the egg becoming cracked.

Thanks, but let me go ahead and ruin it. I did hear spirits, and they were fallen spirits under Adam. Adam had lived his life as an overcomer, and so when Adam died, he was given his own Earth, and that Earth was created for him, and out of his own body came a bride as humanity, and Adam lived inside of flesh, and along with Adam, there came all his soldiers under him because he had become a general. So Adam came equipped with humans who had lived their life and died, but now they became guiding spirits sent into animals.
But that was all on a different Earth in a different Solar system.
The Overcomer is promised a sole rule after Christ is formed in him, and this soul rule is that he will rule as a sole leader, and ALL the nations upon that Earth will be ruled by him, and this with an iron fist.
Being that I know that I will rule the nations of an entire Earth, and being that I already know that an Earth will be deigned by mine own will and desires, I will choose a Lizard World with Lizard people, and I shall be the Lizard King, don't mess with the Lizard King.
Look into my pupils, they are not round.
Join me in my Lizard Kingdom, you have been chosen.
