#not just plagues wars and pestilence but also a second holocaust

Oddly specific but did anyone else's parents describe brutal torture methods in excruciating detail to them (under the pretense that they could/would happen to them) or was that just me?
#if anyone is wondering the context for telling a child (yeah i was about 8 or smthn) these things i shall explain
#tw for holocaust mention
#so my parents were pretty extreme in their religion- they called themselves Christians but were perhaps closer to some cults
#and my parents held the general belief that a lot of shit would go down during or before the rapture- that is the second coming of god
#not just plagues wars and pestilence but also a second holocaust
#in which gunmen working under the antichrist would break into every home and shoot anyone who didnt renounce god
#(btw this was considered the only 'unforgivable' sin in their religion meaning you either get shot or go to hell)
#so i was of course encouraged to get shot in this scenario. at 8 years old
#not only that but apparently for some reason they (the gunman/antichrist people) were going to take us to... camps essentially
#and use various torture methods trying to get us to join them
#a lot of those torture methods were described to me- things like removing fingernails the brazen bull and rat torture
#and i was always terrified of those things
#i was also told very emphatically that this WOULD happen in my lifetime. the rapture that is not necessarily torture
#but it was just always a possibility that one day i would have to be a martyr
#i used to have a lot of nightmares about the rapture happening and how i had chosen wrong and denounced god
#scared me half to death
#oh yeah i was also told there would be nuclear war? so i was always irrationally afraid of that too
#everytime i heard an airplane i would think it was a bomb
#anyway this is why i appreciate people not trying to reconvert me as you can imagine this sucked
