Church Leaders Indicted in Forced Labor Conspiracy

[Knight]

The indictment alleges that church leaders locked victims inside group homes with deadbolt locks; confiscated identification documents such as driver’s licenses, passports, immigration papers and identification cards, in order to prevent victims from escaping; stole victims’ welfare benefits; and required adherence to rules such as, “you are not to discuss things of the world” and “the only thing to be read is the holy bible” and “if any of the rules are broken there will be discipline.”

I wonder if those leaders fear judgement day.

No they don't fear judgment day. They fear being poor in the present world. Now they will be subject to the same discipline they meted out. It's only fair.

Wait a minute. Church leaders behaving badly? Even hypocritically? Quick, someone get me to a fainting couch.
