A Personal Concept of God
When humans evolved to become SELFAWARE, they discovered death. With that came the awareness of both individuality, and emotional attachment. This brought about the fear of separation, and later, the loss, or death of those we were attached to. To solve this conflict, I believe the emotional part of the mind developed the need for hope.

AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL EX-WCG
MINISTERS
I'm still left with the effects of what I'd sown even though I'd deeply regretted and am completely sorry for what I'd done. The false idea that "all is washed away," does not come into the Master's theology and is the product of modern Biblical theological insanity, and from much of today's salesmanship produced in profit motivated Televangelism

ATHEISM?
It's my feeling that cult leaders and their minions who stay in their positions of dominion over people, are nothing more than tares who have no concept of any type of god or the universal principles of love and decency. They conduct themselves in the worldly spirit of cruel atheism with no regard for human feelings and no thought for the consequences of their personal actions.

Advice to a Ministerial
Student
Don't just parrot the pat answers that your church or The Worldwide Church of God teaches. Question, question, question. Don't believe anything just because someone else tells you it is true. Don't trust anybody. Don't put your trust in men. The people you trust could be just as deceived or misled as anyone.

Any Ol' God Will Do
Christianity’s multiple denominations are simply multiple heretical groups each claiming to be the only one with the real truth. Ask any of them and they’ll tell you! Objective thinkers cannot help but question the rationale and/or morals of God believers who condemn non-belief when these same believers are so comfortable in their self-ordained orthodoxy regarding so basic an issue as which of their multiple Gods is the one true God.

Armstrongism, What is it?
Armstrongism is a religion in decline. When stripped of all its fancy packaging, the slick video presentations and glossy magazines, it is a preposterous mixture of bad history, biblical misinterpretation, and pure fantasy. Clever marketing and advertising give Armstrongism its appeal. But once you strip away the faØade, you are left with a bad joke.

And I am so very, very sick and tired of religious "excuses" that attempt to answer logical real-life questions.

Backward Masking
Ted Herlofson, our associate pastor, was passionate on the subject, and delivered more than one sermon about it. He even held a special bible study, complete with a taped sermon from some “Sunday preacher” who had “proof” that many Rock music albums, if played backward, contained pro-Satan messages (it was the first time I had ever heard any WCG minister give credibility to an outsider).

Catch 111
By our actions, we invited persecution. And when we suffered it, as minor as it was, it became “proof” that Herbert Armstrong was right, that the “world” was against us. Because of this “proof”, we then continued to perform actions that ensured further persecution. It became a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The Founding Fathers did not choose to leave it up to the enlightened state of others to assume what the Constitution was based upon.

Their insistence on Bible reading as literal, instead of allegorical, keeps people in subjection, because a literal believer must have a literal teacher.

They need to be told what to do, how to think, and with whom to associate.

Right now, they're still bleeding off the money of countless thousands of deeply dedicated people. And the tragedy of all this, is that many of our loved ones, and innocent people are caught in the muck and sludge of religious scam artists and all of those parasites who KNOW better, but in effect, they are the tares of the world. They are fully aware of what they're doing, and are getting away with it legally.
|
Enlyten: Cult Glossary
Since they inspire no confidence - only fear - they fulfill their tasks by the propagation of ignorance and the slippery promise of nuptials with Jesus and a wedding feast, one day in the Kingdom.

The ex-Worldwide Church of God ministers have taken the cowardly method. They’ve taken and they’ve chicken-fled for the hills. Chickens?. Cluck? Their thunder is dissipated. Their real (and gutless) manhood is EXPOSED.

Enlyten: Ego
There is a balance to ego. We can have pride in ourselves, our accomplishments, our work, and our life. But there is also a dark side to ego. It leads to the Hitlers of the world, the Saddam Husseins, the Stalins, the Maos, and the dead Herbies, etc.

Enlyten: General Comments
Because of the theological motifs and presuppositions in the faith of the early church, however, it is difficult to write with certainty an authentic life of Jesus.

Enlyten: God In Our Image
Quoting the Bible is pointless, because it's been so heavily redacted, we can't be sure of anything said in that book is true. Plus the fact, the Bible is flawed in countless areas to be, in any way, reliable.

Enlyten: Gurus & Teachers
A guru must have complete allegiance from a following to his/her own ideas, theories, and prophecies. A guru – and they come in all sizes, personalities, and religions – invariably has a gargantuan ego, even though he may sit cross-legged on a mountain top and meditate on infinity. People don’t need gurus.
|
Enlyten: Hate filled and bitter?
The reason that cults, and their cultmasters, are so bitter and hate filled is because we've caught them with their pants down figuratively and literally.
|
Enlyten: Idols
The Worldwide Church of God was a master in making idols. Maybe the 2nd Commandment had more than the physical words, and actually referred to the spiritual application. Worldwide Church of God+ seems well on the way. In all of these cases, the idols were men, and NOT the ideology of what they purported to preach.
|
Enlyten: Imagine

Enlyten: Its All Your Fault
Now, this is the current, convenient theology for the Worldwide Church of God, and who knows how many of its repulsive offspring. Don't bother to repair the damage, they say, just tell Jesus what you've done, and it's all AOK. Screw the membership. But, in the meantime, let's wallow in the profits.

Enlyten: Kidnapping & Murder
So, is driving a person to suicide tantamount to murder? Everyone has a limit, and none of us can tell how far anyone else has been psychologically damaged. When and if that fine line is crossed, and when a person gives up and kills themselves in utter despair, then who is to blame?

|
Enlyten: Moment Of Decision
Much has been said, over the years, about forgetting the past and forgiving the wrongdoers. More specifically, this applies to the cultmasters in Worldwide Church of God and Worldwide Church of God+, by simply white washing the whole mess under of rug of Jesus forgives.

Enlyten: Philosophy of hate
For the most part, we don't hate people. We get along with most folks, pleasantly, smiling, and with warm greetings. That's neighborhood America. That's England, that's Canada, that's Australia, that's New Zealand, Europe, etc.
|
Enlyten: Pseudo-Victims
it's really not all that surprising when the cultmasters and hirelings in the WCG+ cults are faced with the truth about their aberrant behaviour (like the nazis), they too start to whine and bemoan the fact that they are being persecuted.
|
Enlyten: Some Personal Thoughts
My Father said that (this Worldwide Church of God) was a cult. This was a cult.
|
Enlyten: Stephen didn't get away.
I was duped, and in that, I was responsible. But WCG must also be held accountable for their part in all the deliberate lies, deceit, the ostentatious life styles, and the destructions of marriages, finances, and peoples' sanity. No one is avoiding personal responsibility here. But the responsibility is twofold. People on the PT Site are only telling their stories and pointing the blame at WCG where applicable, and only because WCG has NEVER repented.
|
Enlyten: Stephen's Revenge
If Stephen's stories are real, and not enhanced fiction, then there's no need for attacks at the end of the narration. This is a very childish sting. Sincere people do NOT do this.

Enlyten: The Apathy Issue
However, while these congregations stayed loyal to the Worldwide teachings, the people became like automatons who marched to the stench of the cultic rhythm, put on their synthetic smiles, goose-stepped to services, mindlessly paid their tithes, and quickly slipped into a way of life that was closed minded, indifferent to the “unconverted,” and apathetic to the world, its people, and the undeniable suffering of mankind that stared them in the faces.

|
Enlyten: World Peace
It is interesting to note that the principles employed by the Worldwide Church of God+ brood are the exact opposite of what would cause peace, harmony, and happiness on this Earth. These creeps of the dead Apostle Herbie parasites have gone the way of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein, and Mao. They have not used common sense or logic, presumably because they do NOT want peace, but want to be the cultmasters, the overlords, the controlaholics, and the arrogant slave masters.
|
Enlyten: does God Care
God in this context doesn't give a hoot about us. God's function is to exist and provide life and not to be involved with any of us personally. That personal function belongs to the Soul. That fact has to be obvious to any who have asked the question: Does God Care? The answer again no

Epistle To Paul Kroll
As far as the WCG changing for the better: Yes, it is much better than it was. But everything is relative. If you used to beat your wife and your children but now you only beat your wife, I would say that you have changed for the better.

Escape From The Planet Of
The Armstrongites
Our local minister was a cold, unyielding man who shamed people and had not the slightest bit of empathy for those in pain. He terrorized and browbeat his elderly, infirm mother-in-law because she had the temerity to mention to a couple of people in the congregation that she had loaned him thousands of dollars and had never been paid back.

Why do you expect me to swallow the fables of Christianity?

Growth
WCG members have been in the captivity of a situation where there has been a "no growth" syndrome. Inflexible laws and rules will always control a person's life and give no room for the exploration of new ideas and new study. Since fear is a cult's greatest weapon, the threat of eternal death (or equivalent) is held over a person, and any future growth into the higher thinking is automatically stifled.

You can waste your entire life waiting for the return of Jesus Christ. And you can alienate you friends, family and loved ones by proclaiming to be a harbinger of the “truth”.

You will grow old and you will die waiting for the “end” that will never come.

Herbert W. Armstrong was a most backward-looking man. At some point in his middle age, he reached a point where he could not accept modern tastes and changing customs. He was wedded to the past, and couldn't tolerate the present. Music was one of the areas where his tastes froze, and he was unable to accept modern musical styles, nor could he see any reason why he should tolerate musical tastes which differed from his.

Sexual misconduct in the ministry, and the subsequent cover-ups, are nothing new. It has been routine in the church of God ministry since HWA pioneered it, six decades ago.

The Funeral From Hell
The arrogant man strode to the podium. He carried a bible and several yellow sheets of paper. There was no music. Suddenly his authoritative voice began. It was shrill and irritating for a man, I thought. He began by making a few token words about Mrs. so and so. not once using her first and given name. He made no mention of her children, grandchildren, marriage and husband that had predeceased her, her life, anything about her as a person. All his comments were directed about what she believed. (I mentally wondered if he had ever bothered to find out what she really believed and later asked my sister if he had ever visited with Grandma. My sister said that he never had to her knowledge.)

The popes and cardinals, the bishops, priests and parsons are all useless. They produce nothing. They live on the labor of others. They are parasites that feed on the frightened. They are vampires that suck the blood of honest toil. Every church is an organized beggar. Every one lives on alms -- on alms collected by force and fear. Every orthodox church promises heaven and threatens hell, and these promises and threats are made for the sake of alms, for revenue. Every church cries: "Believe and give.

but the fact remains that even brethren in god's church are subject to all the temptations and deceits of human nature one of which is the tendency of some to regard themselves as persecuted 'martyrs' or 'suffering heroes,' if they are unable to have their own way in church matters or problems with their brethren.

|
What The Hell Is Truth?
One of the few, and rare, positive things about being in the belly of the whore is that we lost all fear of "other" religions and superstitions. So once we survived the WW$$ tribulation, there was no fear left of "hell fire," damnation or "get saved tonight..." We can now look at the world through eyes of reality that would have otherwise been impossible.

A few months ago, someone asked me to give some examples of ways women were mistreated in The Worldwide Church of God - basically nothing came to mind. - This AM, several events came to mind - anyway I plan to write a series of posts of some of these experiences - and I would hope that some of the other women will jump in

Wooden Stake Through the

Worldwide Church of
Pessimism
Herbert W. Armstrong had said so. And I was out of the church. When the tribulation started and the church fled, I would be left behind; if I didn’t die by nuclear fire, or die of starvation in the famine, I would be tortured to death in a concentration camp.

Worldwide Church of God :The
Errancy of The Bible
I spent 23 years in the Worldwide Church of God. Every Sabbath, I listened to convoluted explanations of how to understand the meaning of the Bible. After that length of time, I learned that the Bible can be used by skillful ministers to justify anything.

Worldwide Church of God :The
Pied Piper.
The fact that no one can ever experience the universe the same way that I do means that I must come to own my own life as a unique experience in itself. By doing this, I can understand and appreciate your uniqueness also. We all have a right to be. Armstrong and other cult leaders have never understood how profound this concept is.

So too, today, would many (such as The Worldwide Church of God) correct his work, removing the unacceptable risks of Christian freedom and substituting some mixture of the much more reliable and sturdy standbys of miracle, mystery and authority.

I sat in sermon after sermon about the coming tribulation and millennium. Sermons about "Hitler's Ovens" and detailed descriptions about concentration camps and torture during the inquisition abounded. All the messages ended with us being saved by the "Place of Safety" and the return of Christ just as the missiles were launched.

Primarily a farmer, at different times he also served as postmaster, forest ranger, and occasional preacher.

Things We Should Have Learned from the Worldwide
Church of God
An intoxicant such as a narcotic, alcohol, power, or money can cause deviation from these good patterns, in favor of destructive behavior. A drunk will choose another drink over helping a friend or relative out of a dire life-threatening situation. A WCG member, chooses religion over "carnal" or "worldly" family members.
