Kent saw the fake money system & fake bibles& fake old earth "creationism" as dangerous , so when the trumped up charges got him corralled for being so effective in exposing the lie of evolution, the fake churches just left him hanging. He had offended them by truth.

The older generation isn't necessarily right but deference to Bible based wisdom from experience brethren like Kent can help.

Upon spotting the citizen militia, a British officer demanded the men throw down their arms. They refused; and the British troops immediately opened fire. Eight of the Minutemen were instantly killed. The colonists returned fire in self-defense, and the shot was fired that was heard ’round the world. By the time the troops arrived at the Concord Bridge, just a few miles away, hundreds of colonists were waiting for them with muskets in hand, and the rest, as they say, is history.
