When [her daughter] Jess was 14 months old, Tracey found that all her former religious beliefs came flooding back and she was struck with the fear that her child would die in Armageddon if she didn't rejoin the Jehovah's Witness.
She started Bible study again and was baptised into the religion in Toowoomba when Jess was 2.
She also says,
They keep saying they're not a cult - they are a flaming cult.She was later kicked out partly because she began smoking tobacco.
HWA plagiarized many of his ideas from the Jehovah's Witnesses.
