A Letter to Worldwide Kids
If you grew up in the Worldwide Church of
God, this letter is to you. If
you were a parent who raised a kid in Worldwide, you might want to listen,
too. And if you are parent or
child in any of the WCG splinter groups, this is definitely for you, even
though you probably will never see it.
One of the most notable facts that have
emerged from people responding to this website is that a large number of
people who grew up in WCG were severely traumatized by the overpowering
brutality of the organization. Many
have suffered lifelong effects, and many still have not healed.
Many still feel guilty for having left, or having failed to somehow
live up to the impossible demands that were made on them.
I think it's time we talked about this.
You
Need To Understand
If you were a kid in Herbert Armstrong's
empire, you need to understand a few things.
The first and most important of these is that you
were completely innocent. Nothing
that happened to you was your fault, and the people who beat you down and
made you feel small and dirty should be horsewhipped naked on national
television at halftime at the Super Bowl...
...for thirty uninterrupted minutes.
