I was drawn in by the WCG back in 1968, and, being a teen-ager, I didn’t truly suffer that much. My parents, however, were broken apart by the damn divorce-remarriage doctrine. They stayed separated for about a year and a half, but finally saw the light and and reunited. They enjoyed another twenty years together before my mother died.
I’m interested in all the stories, but I have to say, I believe that HWA had a lot of good, positive truths that he used to scam his way to power.
I do believe that we are born to become God, and I do believe we are children(all of us) of an entity who created us from love and wants us to learn
The Worldwide church of God attempted to annihilate peoples personality, individuality, will, and character. The stranded souls that hitched their wagon to this organization unknowingly supported a power-hungry pharisaic and fastuous authoritative cult leader and his son, Garner Ted Armstrong. For all the alarums and excursions, the fact remains that without knowing it, we nurtured these two ungrateful incubi's. For that I can only ask for forgiveness.
After my WCG experience, I went to college to educate myself so I would have a greater understanding of the world about me and to understand why I ever fell for HWA's scam religion. This lead me to the conclusion that the appropriate action to take, in my judgment, is to provide people with opportunities to learn, develop, and exercise their potential as human beings, by freeing them from men who exploit and abuse them. This website and others are my vehicle to do just that.
