That's not really a 'gotcha' for them though. They believe most people will be resurrected on a 'paradise Earth' after Armageddon.

Yeah, if you're really looking to pick a fight with some random followers, there's much better ammunition to be had.

Like the way the church systemically covers up child abuse. To the point where it's basically in their rules that the kid is lying unless someone else sees it.

Yeah lol I think the 150k spots are for the "executive" level of heaven that basically gets to run the goings on of paradise-earth after the apocalypse. But I think there's eventually an apocalypse sequel and the rest go to heaven or, if they don't do good with the new paradise earth, they all go to hell

They don't believe in hell or a traditional afterlife. When you die you stay dead until it's time for God to resurrect you. At that time the meek shall inherit the earth and all the wicked non-believers get killed off. The 144k act as judges. Source: I grew up in said cult.
