They had a church party on Halloween night in 2017. The following Sunday, one of their guests returned to kill the congregation. The pastor's daughter was also killed. It was the worst mass shooting in Texas history with 26 dead and 22 wounded.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Revelation 18:4 KJV
We should come out of the religious traditions of men which have nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus.
I wonder if the pastor now believes we are in the end times.
