The WCG experienced the calamitous collision with the iceberg of reality 28 years ago when Herbie went to his final reward.The Beginning of the EndIt was quite perplexing to watch the events of the Worldwide Church of God unfold. When the founder Herbert Armstrong died in 1986, a new leadership under Joe Tkach Sr. and company tried to correct many of the gross errors in doctrine that the cult held for so long. After HWA’s death, despite the efforts of some, the good-ship Armstrong ground to a halt and began to sink. The flares were fired. Nobody thought she could sink. But the gates of hell prevailed and sink she did. Some have asked if Joe Tkach so despise Herb, that he set out with a devious plan to scuttle the Armstrong empire. I personally doubt his intentions were to destroy a financial empire that would have been a cash cow for himself. Years after the old man died, Junior waved his magic wand and created Grace Communion as a lifeboat to insure his existence and prominence after the WCG. Joe sold off what he could and scuttled what was left of Armstrongism, shoving off in his protestant lifeboat leaving behind the broken and befuddled. Sinking Lifeboats

The U.S.S. Armstrong sunk years ago, but on the life boats the band(s) still plays on. To this very day, the groups that follow Herbert’s cesspool of doctrinal error and corruption try to mimic what was prophesied, what was said, how it was said. The very art of mimicking Herbert in every possible way has nothing to do with the following and worship of Jesus Christ, but with the worship and devotion to Herbert W. Armstrong and their leading evangelist guru. Negativity. The Driving Force Behind ArmstrongismAs 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. Meredith and the other gurus ignore basic psychology. People need love, hope and freedom in life. All of us need the bond that only family can provide. But when all they receive from their Master(s) is negativity, shunning, breaking up of families, fear driven faith and threats, something is going to break. This frustration and anger played out nearly a decade ago at a LCG church meeting. Recall Terry Ratzmann. In
Terry Ratzmann’s case, the man took on the title of a mass murderer,
forever enshrined in the publics memory as the guy who shot up Rod
Meredith’s cult. Yes, lame excuses were passed around that there was a
medical explanation behind the shooting. I don’t buy it for a minute.
Like most here, we have lived this type of life. It’s a life of
religious masturbation. You never get to the point of climax! The
“Flog log kid” Herbert Armstrong, always told us that the end was near,
even picking dates in the future. When 1936/1972/1975 turned to shit,
he threw a disclaimer into the mix saying he never sets dates. Other
times he flat out blamed the membership for his gross failures. If
Herbert W. Armstrong had lived in ancient Israel, he would have been
put to death by the religious leaders of the times by the authority of
the very God that he proclaimed. According to the “Almighty” of the bible, there was only one penalty for a false prophet,
and that being death. So why do the people of these organization put up
with these lies? Maybe they are using the “church” as a social club, or
perhaps for the adrenaline
rush they get from some very “scary” prophecies. Or is it because they
are cowards who cannot face life and reality? I am sure there are a host
of other reasons, but let us consider this matter further. Being deceived means you do not know any better (ignorant of facts) but when the facts are made clear and are thoroughly documented, what should be your next move? Ignore them at your own peril or having some personal integrity and act on the new information? People of moral integrity are those who merit respect, having a “bottom line principle”. It is what they will accept and nothing lower. Integrity is a loyalty virtue, loyalty toward oneself. Showing fidelity to those values, principles or commitments that constitute their own identity. The flip side of the coin, those who lack integrity, they trade their own views for the views of others who are more authoritative, and stay in step with opinions of others, being so much less demanding of themselves. These people
betray action on their own views for gain, status, reward, or approval.
This in itself is a serious character flaw. This is also the
prostitution of oneself. A sellout. The War to End all WarsThe
war to end all wars within the Armstrong movement will be when the
people stop following and allowing these failures, these losers, these
charlatans, these abusive “freaks” to use and abuse them as they get
their pockets picked clean. How many times have we all heard from the
miscreant’s behind the pulpit that HWA was “Gods Apostle”? The person of
integrity would ask themselves “Does God use pedophiles to preach his
word?” The answer to this comes in the mail when I read the letters from
those who would rather kill me than to face the fact that they have
been had by a con man, and continue to be had by con men, and that the
Herbster DID fuck his daughter for a period of around ten years. I must
say, these people lack any form of integrity. And they are suppose to
rule the world under Christ? Shit, give me the lake of fire! I don’t
need a push, I’ll jump in head first! In conclusion, if America does go into a time of hyperinflation and when feeding ones family should be priority #1 (for the religious infidel it is priority #2 or #3) a decision will have to be made. When that time comes, watch Dave Pack’s empire disappear in a flash, watch Gerald Flurry struggle with the banks that financed that white elephant in Edmond. Watch the members struggle to survive in a world known only by their fathers or grandfathers. A time known as the great depression. Meredith, Flurry, Thiel, Malm, all of these gurus, we can only hope that they will emulate the bankers of the 1920′s, by throwing themselves from the 13th floor of the Armstrong casino to the pavement below. Let the Games begin…
