There is an interview on HTC during which a former acquaintance of the Daybells suggests Chad revealed to his family that his ‘fiction’ books were actually based on his *true* prophetic visions. I don’t know the rules about posting those interviews.Agreed, I mentioned something along these lines awhile back. There had to be something that made them all such believers.
I don’t suggest this is a healthy response, but if the family members believed they were special in some way — destined to play a role in an important future — it would be seductive.
