The Painful Truth-Herbert W. Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God
Understanding the psychology of religious seduction and spiritual abuse.
Sometimes the truth hurts………….
Herbert Armstrong was a boozing alcoholic. That may be one reason he wanted to spring from the Church of God Seventh Day: He wanted to continue to wallow in his alcoholic solution to problems. Garner Ted Armstrong was an alcoholic. David Jon Hill was an alcoholic. Regional pastors in the hinterland were alcoholics. The whole WCG was top heavy with alcoholics and that defined the character of the church (or lack of it). Alcohol permeated the entire structure.
It is the season of despair within the armstrong based groups. To celebrate we offer the following video.
As the flock continued to grow, there were those members who, quite naturally, desired either to divorce their present spouses or, having already been divorced prior to conversion, re-marry. “A thorough, heart-rending study of scripture(with much prayer and fasting) yielded but one conclusion,” Herbert said. “Divorce and re-marriage has been, is, and will always continue to be against Gods law.“
