Did We Really Look into the Bible and Prove it to Ourselves?

“There are those who admit that Herbert Armstrong was wrong in his teachings and there are those who don’t care or cannot bring themselves to admit that he was wrong. After all, the consequence of admitting that you wasted your life following a man can be quite disconcerting!”

The Phony Feast of Tabernacles

Worshiping the patron saint of the churches of God.

Nothing sends followers of Armstrongism into a tizzy faster than the word “Christmas.” Christmas was the focus of evil in the realm of darkness known to Worldwide Church of God members as “the world.” Christmas embodied all that was wrong with Christianity…

Child Abuse in the Armstrong Churches of God

 Let us painfully confront the fact that the sinful structures of family governance seem to mirror the abnormal patterns and structures of church government within the Worldwide Church of God.

Revisiting “The Iceberg of Reality”

As the year marches on we will see the transpiring of more fear, division, competition, and much more hatred. The crap that these ignorant, godless gurus distribute to each others and their sheeple will escalate as it has in the last several years. 

The Iceberg of Reality.

  • Halloween day tribute to the evil behind the WCG November 1, 2026
    The evil of Armstrongism is not merely in its false doctrines, but in the spiritual damage inflicted upon those who trusted in him. It is a religion of fear masquerading as righteousness, a system in which control is dressed up as obedience and human authority is elevated above Christian freedom. This religion of Satan and those […]

  • Backward Masking October 31, 2026
     Forward: Backmasking is a recording technique in which a sound or message is recorded backward onto a track that is meant to be played forward. Backmasking is a deliberate process, whereas a message found through phonetic reversal may be unintentional. Sometime in the mid 80s we began hearing sermons locally about the satanic influence of […]

  • An American Horror Story October 31, 2026
    A great many people have little enthusiasm for being free and autonomous. Such a prospect terrifies them! Most want to “have a place,” to be a piece of the “in” swarm, to be in the place where the “activity” is. They need to hitch their wagon to a “cause,” to a religious or political master […]

  • Trick or Treat? October 30, 2026
    The LORD of hosts is His name; great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, giving to everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds. -Jeremiah 32     Among the many stories relayed to me by members and former […]

  • Herbie’s Near Death Experience October 30, 2026
    A “Near Death Experience,” or NDE, has been a phenomena that parapsychologists have studied for more than a hundred years.   Sometimes when a patient dies on the operating table, or has a heart attack, and if and when they recover, many have related strange happenings during the time that they were technically “dead.”   While I’m not advocating a solid […]

The Not So Great, Bob Thiel

Quote by David C. Pack

“I want to make a statement about…me…now, if I became deceived, I will never tell you what I’m going to tell you now…I am telling you if I go off into strange ideas, misconduct, rebellion, you name it, don’t follow me. I want to tell you that now, because if I start doing that I’m gonna try to get you to follow me! I’m gonna come to you and tell you it doesn’t apply, it doesn’t mean me, no, no, no, no, no, no, it’s OK to follow me because ABCD and XY and Z. Do you understand what I’m saying? Listen to me now, when I tell you don’t follow me if I go off into weird ideas, or if I get off into other things that are total absolutely unscriptural conduct, because if I do I’m gonna paint it with a different face and try to get you to follow me. Do you understand what I’m saying brethren? Please remember that, because I promise you that if I become deceived, I’ll forget it, and I’ll want you to forget it…And I hope you’ll remember it well enough to quote it right back to me…But I’ll tell you what, I’m not going anywhere.”
