The Mormons are a weird lot. Joseph Smith was led to these golden tablets by an angel translated them then had to bury them again. The original has never been found or was it the tablets. They split into different factions way back so loads of in fighting. They used to believe the more wives they had and children they produced for the cult meant they got a higher place in heaven when they died.
The Jehovah Witnesses are really a death cult, the founder went around telling people the world would end on a certain date early Victorian times. So the followers went to a hill in England and waited for it to happen, nothing. So he told them he had made an error and recalculated again next date nothing. Then it turned into it was still coming but no date given. They have to keep themselves pure to make sure they get into heaven, no blood transfusions or Xmas and birthdays. There has been in recent years people leaving saying they were sexually abused by elders in their local church when children. The same elders investigated the claims of course nothing ever done about it.
