Quote:According to the arrest complaint, Hawkins teaches his followers to lie to law enforcement officials about the multiple marriages.
If your spiritual leader is advising you to lie, you should question his authority. At first, I was thinking this guy in in the wrong line of work, a lying adulterer, but then I thought he just is using his position to chase his own desires. I dont think this has anything to do pleasing God with his actions, but more realistically it is about pleasing himself. People who dont fear God will do anything to get what they want.
Quote:Hawkins has "dominant influence over the members" and has asked his members to die rather than let him go to prison, according to Callahan County District Attorney Shane Deel.
Doesn't sound like he is religiously convicted to me. Maybe he fears prison more than the Creator. Subhanallah
