Garner Ted Armstrong's
Weird And Wacky World Tomorrow By Harlan S.
I'm glad to see your site is still in business and
people are being helped. I'm also glad to see the
Ambassador Report newsletters
made available on your site; they opened my eyes to WCG
evils when I exited.
I
thought you might be interested in the following bizarre
excerpts from Garner Ted Armstrong's article, "What Is
Your Goal?" It could be subtitled, "Garner Ted Armstrong's Weird And
Wacky World Tomorrow." He writes about Christ's return
to earth: [My comments in brackets]
"The following events will begin to swiftly take place:
"(7) ...A gigantic,
global BOOK BURNING will take place, as God abolishes
all the printed lies...[Which
means the religious fiction of Garner Ted Armstrong would also be burned
up]
"(8) ...There will be
instantaneous HEALING for those who become sick...[If
it's instantaneous how can anyone possibly become sick?]
"(9) There will be no
police departments, no fire departments, no sheriffs...[Apparently
angelic Firebusters will miraculously put out any
fires.]
"(10) There will be no
women in the labor force; ...Women will be required to
become wives and mothers; ...
["Achtung! You vill be a mother, whether you like it or
not. Schnell! Schnell!"]
"(11) ...Dating will be
bereft of any physical contact. Sex before or outside of
marriage will be treated as a major sin, and dealt with
accordingly. [No Garner Ted Armstrong's allowed.
They will be put to death.]
"(12) There will be NO
CRIME! ...Not a single child will steal a marble, a
dime, or a neighbor's strawberry! "Thou shalt not steal"
will be a major law of the globe, and will be rigidly
enforced. People's homes, property and crops will be
SAFE! [Human nature, therefore,
will be extinguished. Automoton zombies will inherit the
earth. Dumb sheep.]
"(13) There will be no
internal combustion engines; no automobiles, no
airplanes (IF there is ever requirement for travel,
people can be whisked to their destination easily,
safely and instantly by having an angel take them
there)...[Book a flight with
Angel Airways.]
"(14) All tattooing will
be outlawed, and not a single boy or girl will ever have
a tattoo blemishing his or her body.
[So tattooed Garner Ted Armstrong won't be allowed
in this unblemished world.]
"(15) There will be no
pornography, no movies, no television, and no
radio...There will be NO "media" whatsoever, other than
Christ's own announcements and those of God's growing
family, or announcements from powerful angels from time
to time. [Darn! No more
Seinfeld reruns.]
"(16) Therefore, there
will not be a single "preacher" or "televangelist"
anywhere. All false prophets, shams, fakes, frauds,
hucksters, thieves, liars and gurus will either repent
or be put to death...Any person assaying to speak as if
for God, when God has not sent him to do so, will be
instantly administered the death penalty.
[Too bad this can't happen right
now so the huckster author of these fantasies could be
mercifully zapped.]
"(17) The tallest and
largest building in the world will be the Temple of God,
the HEADQUARTERS of the new World Ruling Government of
Christ. All high-rise buildings will be destroyed."
[Jesus, according to Armstrong, apparently has a giant
ego like himself: "By God, no building will be taller
than MY building!"]
Garner Ted Armstrong's World Tomorrow fantasy seems to reflect his
attitude toward people: intolerant, authoritarian,
unmerciful, and superior. HWA had the same fascist view
of Christ's Kingdom: RULE and POWER over people. That's
how the church was run, top down, undemocratic.
Dissenters were to be kicked out. Questioning authority
was a sin.
Garner Ted Armstrong's laughable view of the millennium is perhaps more
ridiculous and far-fetched than the Christian fables he
lampooned (red devil with pitchfork, saints in heaven on
clouds strumming harps).
I'm
hoping you might change the link to my home page of my
art web site in "The WCG in
Movie Titles" in your humor section. Here's the
correct link: http://home.teleport.com/~hsimante/hartext/index.html.
See the pudgy, little, tattooed, adulterous creep in all is naked glory(?) cavorting around in the nude, wanking on his little pee-pee. How the mighty have fallen!
I take no pleasure in this. If the creep would just get out of the religion business, I wouldn't care what he did sexually as long as he wasn't hurting someone.
