Alex, you can ping cyc to discuss whether this is true about his Jehovah’s Witnesses
The JWs have given the “time of the end” warning and when it doesn’t happen, they simply change the date. They claim that it will happen as soon as 144,000 get to heaven, so when the end doesn’t come they say that apparently some of those that they thought were anointed ones didn’t make it. Before 1975, many quit their jobs, didn’t finish school, didn’t have children, sold their homes, etc., because they were told that Armageddon was coming.
They would rather die and let their children die than have a blood transfusion.
They say they only welcome the willing, but if one of their children decide that they don’t want to be a JW, they disfellowship them, and no family members can have anything to do with that person.
“Crisis of Conscience” by a former VP of the org. is a good read.
It is a cult.
