Yes but when we no longer think that they love us. When we believe that somebody has done something against us. Then do we get out the knifes. My point is that I believe Witness did. As soon as he saw something which was a threat to his work (and thus in his eyes God's work). It was open season on them. This could be somewhat akin to the mafioso who might be quite kind and gentle with someone until that person eventually refused to do him a favour (bow to his authority).
Also when we speak about control it should also be noted that Lee and his followers believe that he is the minister of the age, and hence to an extent his actions are equated with God's (Acting God). Therefore seeing as how Lee and his followers believe (at least at some level) that Lee's will and God's will are somewhat synonymous when he's controlling it's not him it's actually God. Furthermore when he is more overtly influencing the situation he's just helping God's will along.
