This strange cult also performs blood sacrifice in the form of "kosher butchery" wherein animals are blessed, then drained of all their blood before they're considered ok to eat.

A strange cult that shares some of the same roots, the Baptists, practices full water immersions as part of their "baptisms." Think of all the cold water!

Someone should call the authorities!

Either that or they should remember the First Amendment.; Reply to this comment
