Who made LV & CD the keepers of everyone's dark (death) score?
It looks to me like it all started with Chad, per his claim to be getting revelations of "truth" about the future and the soon-to-come apocalypse that the faithful should be prepping for.
All of his supposed revelations were purportedly about the path of getting from here to there according to the revealed plan. It was BS-ery, of course, but to the believer, whatever Chad claimed to be told (in the revelations) became gospel. And then Chad told Lori (who told others) that she too had insight and a special mission ahead.
I really hate having to wade through these people's nonsense, to try to understand their actions and their culpability, but it seems like that's where we are. And each day offers yet another chapter of this tale of Chad and the World of BS, for us to have to wallow in.
