    I've seen many TH-cam videos (in fact countless times I had 24hr marathons)Not much surprises me anymore or I can accurately predict the story. NOT THIS ONE!) My husband & I had our jaws open in shock so far they hit our knees & stayed there till the story was done-WOW.

    I will admit, this has been the first story to truly horrify me. The fact that these two men even thought that this was an "okay" thing to do is horrific. Not to mention the amount of brainwashing this family endured mostly, if not entirely, because of the father. *The sheer fact that these men got away with this and that these women allowed themselves to be horribly murdered and mutilated is down right disgusting* God sometimes I really hate people, and am terrified of them.

      There are also some good people out there that just wanna live a humble and peaceful life. 🙂👍♥️🙏😊
      But of course there are probably even more evil people then good ones.
      That reminds me of the Bible verse:
      We know that we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one. (1.John 5: 19)
      The wicked one is no other then Satan the devil. According to Gods word the Bible he rules the whole world at the moment (Luke 4: 5,6). And this is exactly what we see if we turning on the news...
      Gods word the Bible also says inter alia about this topic:
      9 So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.
      12 On this account be glad, you heavens and you who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time.” (Revelation 12: 9)
      And:
      Furthermore, God made you alive, though you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you at one time walked according to the system of things of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience. Yes, among them we all at one time conducted ourselves in harmony with the desires of our flesh, carrying out the will of the flesh and of our thoughts, and we were naturally children of wrath just as the rest. (Ephesians 2: 1)
      I study Gods word the Bible for years. If someone has questions about it please write me. 🙂👍📖♥️🤗

      That is the same “faith” required for belief in EVERY religion. Do as you’re told, not as your instincts or observation direct you. And all you endure will be rewarded immensely in the future, after you’re dead and can not disprove anything to dismay other believers.
      Every religion is a cult, and ask you to suspend disbelief and have faith in something or someone, rather than provide any actual answers or empirical evidence. In what other walk of life would we refer to a book written 2000 years ago as fact, as all Abrahamic religions do?

      I'd guess it's highly likely they're living off grid with a small like minded congregation: but using a diff name & cult name . The incest would make it unlikely they'd get a large following but would necessitate somewhere isolated & private.

      @@sarahholland2600 I disagree to some extent. Your hypotheses is perfectly valid. But with the father's ability to create a cult, convince his OWN WIFE to accept incest and inevitable murder to the point that she laid still while being beaten to death I'm guessing they went into politics somewhere. Additionally, they were crafty enough to escape a mental ward and avoid capture. I'm thinking they took advantage of the relative obscurity and are in plain site somewhere. Raising some ungodly new generation.

      Not really sure God would hold her responsible.

We all not only benefit from the hell put on those forced to make our technological "advanced" society kept at an affordable level, but we all at least ignore, and at worse (just like Sabine) clearly think this is an acceptable price to be paid.
      I would say she probably is more innocent than most of us. It's one thing to not know better due to the environment and brainwashing. But another to just purposely put our head in the sands when we KNOW what we participate in is causing suffering to others
