The Painful Truth-Herbert W. Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God
Understanding the psychology of religious seduction and spiritual abuse.
Hard upon the heels of the demise of the Worldwide Church of God as we knew it, the casual observer may be shocked to discover a regiment of splinter groups that have sprung up in its place. Where once there was “one true church of God”, now there are hundreds, all claiming the same charter, all claiming to carry out the same commission. How can this be?
There are many who teach from the bible; how do we know when truth is spoken? How do we identify a false prophet? There is much instruction in the Scriptures to teach us how to identify a false prophet. Would you be able to identify a false prophet?

Most likely not.
Muslim background Iranians are leading a quiet but mass exodus out of Islam and bowing their knees to the Jewish Messiah. The Iranian awakening is a rapidly reproducing discipleship movement that owns no property, no buildings, has no budget, no 501c3 status or any identifier that the church in the west says you must have, and is predominantly led by women.
Those who who sit in comfortable churches every week should take notice. These brave people face TRUE Christian persecution, unlike the ACOG’s who claim they are persecuted but are not. The armstrongites are not worthy of being persecuted for Christ. They don’t believe in Him. Their faith is place in Herbert Armstrong, a man who lived a life of sexual perversion and hard core alcoholism. Let them have him.
