Why would the Armstrong crowd care about incest? Incest to them is nothing to sneeze about. It is normal to them. They approve of it and by endorsing the old pervert they endorse his ways.
” Herbert Armstrong’s actions were so totally evil that by the standards of all society, that he would be automatically reduced to non-person status, and anything that he had to say, or any good activities throughout his life would be totally invalidated “
Blast from the past, one serious article that questions the morality of those within armstrongism.
In the intervening years since Douglas exposed these conditions via his article, I wonder if there has been any realization and effort to clean it all up. I am sure that Seattle and Bellevue, the areas in which Douglas lived, were just a microcosm of what was going on “Worldwide”. I can’t imagine being a young person, psychologically or parentally trapped in one of these churches, and knowing that there were predators in the congregation who were running amuck and doing horribble things, while also being compelled to treat them and trust them as if they were ministers, brothers, and sisters in good standing.
I hate to say it, but the thought has occasionally crossed my mind that perhaps Terry Ratzmann had known of or had been victimized by this sort of activity, dealt with it in the only way he felt capable, and the real reason was known and swept under the rug.
I will tell you this Bob. The ACOG’s never will clean up their act any more than the JW’s do or the Mormons. They allow the perverts to stay. The Catholics needed to have the shit sued out of them to just start to get their attention. I think the lawsuits got it but don’t expect anything to change. The core problem is that the priest is not allowed to get laid.Where in the bible does it say you have to hold your wad in?
God created men and women with desire. No matter what way you swing never allow the bible or man get in your way. Do what your conscious allows.
As to Terry Ratzmann , I think he was the only one in his family to join the cult. If anyone else has a different opinion, chirp in.
