David Meredith |
August 27, 2022 |
Rod Meredith's Youngest Son. From Heart Attack. Age 43. No information if David took the covid-19 clot shot. |
|
Phillip Rice |
June 28, 2020 |
Phillip Rice apparently died on June 28, 2020. He was the son of evangelist Richard Rice, but was a much nicer person than his dad, who was arrogant and egotistical and not at all friendly (in my experience). I met Phil when he came to Fresno in the mid 1980s. He was associate pastor to Glen White and took over the Visalia (California) church, which was a sister congregation to Fresno. Phil’s sermons were refreshing after so much gloom and doom from other ministers we had. He spoke about grace, which no one else ever did, and was actually friendly. People loved him. In spite of all that, he was still a company man and upheld the rigid totalitarianism of Armstrong theology. I could (but won’t) cite half a dozen instances in which he was a complete and total jerk, and yet he still shines above the pack as a caring and (more or less) compassionate minister. Dead of “multiple medical issues” |
|
Molly Antion |
April 11, 2020 | Molly Antion, wife of pastor David Antion, suffered a stroke on Tuesday, April 7, and died April 11. Molly Antion was the sister of Buck Hammer, who donated the land that eventually became the core of the campus of Ambassador University in Texas. |
|
Don Lawson |
March 22, 2019 |
Don was a old time WCG minister and stayed with the group now known as GCI until his end. Don had three brothers who are/were Church of God, Seventh Day ministers. Bruce Renehan author of "Daughter Of Babylon, The True History of The Worldwide Church of God" relayed what Don's brother Ken told him years ago. Ken said "Years ago my brothers and I could not even visit Don unless he got permission from his superiors in advance." From GCI's website we read "Don had major health challenges as well. He had a hip replacement surgery many years ago, but it never quite healed properly. He suffered from crippling arthritis and he also encountered liver problems, which required dialysis three times a week, each session lasting up to six-hours long. Don was also battling cancer throughout his body." Don's wife Sue preceded him in death one month earlier on February 26, 2019. |

He was preceded in death by his wife Beverly Jean Battles Swisher, and is survived by his two sons, Kenneth Swisher and Timothy Swisher |
|
July 12, 2018 |
Many Painful Truth readers may remember Bruce Gordon Renehan as the author of The Daughter of Babylon, an unpublished work that nevertheless was read by many on the internet and shed a brilliant light on the corruption of the WCG. Mr. Renehan died on July 12, 2018 at his home in Tehachapi, California. He was 67. More by Mr. Renehan HERE. | |

He was a combat veteran who served in the Army during the Korean War from 1950 - 1952. |
|
Ian Boyne
|
Dec.18, 2017 |
Having had only recently suffered a series of heart attacks, Ian had to be readmitted to the hospital this last weekend. The official cause of death has not been listed at this time but we suspect Mr. Boyne suffered a fatal myocardial infarction that took his life. He was host of Profile and Religious Hardtalk, aired on Jamaica (TVJ), as well as a columnist for the Sunday Gleaner. From the Jamaica Observer: "The highly respected and internationally acclaimed journalist whose career in all facets of media spans 30 years, was most known for his personality television series Profile — the longest running seasonal show on local television. It features successful and remarkable personalities, many of whom overcame significant hardships. Profile celebrated 30 years this March, earning Boyne many accolades, including congratulations from Prime Minister Andrew Holness who said it was admirable that the programme, which represents “the power of good journalism”, was still on air when internationally, successful programmes rarely surpass 25 years." In his last year, Ian spoke about reforming Armstrongism, quoted in a article at Banned byHwa "Could a wider grasp of theology and philosophy actually lead one to recognize some of the strengths of Armstrongism --certainly in comparison with orthodox Christianity--while acknowledging its obvious and dastardly elements?" Ian was pastor of Church of God International in Jamaica. R.I.P. |
|
Burk McNair |
December 5, 2017 |
He attained the ‘rank’ of evangelist in the Worldwide Church of God (as did his brother Raymond), and he was a pastor with UCG until his retirement in 2002. Two other brothers, Marion and Carl, were also WCG ministers. |
|
Oct. 6, 2017 |
Marion was a evangelist who left or was disfellowshipped (I have read it both ways so I don't know for sure) Anyway he is one of those who tried to expose the church and teachings of HWA in his book "Armstrongism Religion or Ripoff" Marion's wife Deloyce died August 20, 2017 in Florida. Link | |
|
William Dankenbring |
August 29, 2017 |
Dankenbring was a prolific writer who promoted conspiracy theories while he was in the WWCG. For his efforts he was given the boot. |
|
Allie Dart |
August 14, 2017 |
From Wes White, August 9th:
“I am sorry to announce that Allie Dart passed away this morning at 8:52, listening to Ron's sermon, ‘A Good Marriage’.” Allie Dart was the wife of Ron Dart who died January 23, 2016. From cancer. |
|
Art Mokarow
|
July 27, 2017 |
“Although the Mokarow family has been reluctant to confirm the news, Dave Havir believes that Art Mokarow of Montgomery died on July 27." From COGNews: After almost 19 years [1979] a whistle blower in The Headquarters Building informed the government that the 280 Million Dollars they received each year was being misappropriated. When the District Attorney and the judge came to investigate the accounting books, the employees arm-chained themselves and created a blockade, so they could not do an inspection of the books. Both Art and his wife, who worked at Headquarters, saw this display and gave them their two weeks notice that day. During the thirty or so years after leaving the ministry Art did not affiliate himself with any church or denomination and studied the Bible on his own. He didn’t communicate with anyone in WCG and they spread the word he had died. In fact, many members who left WCG (on principle) were rumored to have died also. After the company [that he had formed] was sold, Art began writing books. The sale afforded him to send The Word of God, free of charge, without accepting any donations. |
|
Rod Meredith |
May 18, 2017 |
Possessing the skill of persuasion and following in the steps of his mentor Herbert W. Armstrong, Meredith spent his career promoted HWA’s fallacies on television, in sermons, and magazine articles. For decades, his fear mongering and pronouncement of events that never materialized, gave him a reputation of being a false prophet. Never having repented from his crimes against God and mankind, we anticipate that Rod’s
next waking moment will find him roasting in
the
lake of fire he so rightfully deserves. Dead of cancer at 86. (In lieu of flowers or donations to the LCG, you can donate HERE to support the Painful Truth's important work.) |
|
Gavin Rumney |
Dec. 16, 2016 |
Gavin Rumney died on the 16th of December, only 17 days after writing: Mr. Rumney exposé of corruption and abuse in the leadership of the corporate offshoots of the WCG never gained him favor with those he wrote about. One exception was Ian Boyne who wrote: “I feel a great sense of loss at Gavin’s passing. I am not one of the ‘thousands’ who have freed themselves from Armstrongism as a result of Gavin’s prodigious work, but I have benefitted from his fine intellect, penetrating analyses and sharp wit (of which I have been a victim!) Gavin wrote, in my estimation, without malice. As someone still involved in Armstrongism, I disagreed, of course, with his conclusion that our theological system was hopelessly flawed, but had no disagreement with him about the corruption, immorality, and oppression which have characterized our movement. Gavin was like the Old Testament prophets who inveighed against the debauchery corruption and sins of God’s people, ancient Israel. We must not slay messengers, but heed them. Gavin was well-read, theologically sophisticated and philosophically aware. He was generally fair. He believed in giving voice to all. Little did I know when he wrote his last blog and mentioned his health challenge that the end was so imminent. I shall miss him and mourn him.” From a New Zealand obituary page we read: Another: "I was a colleague of Gavin's at Conifer Grove School. Gavin was a gentle, kind and caring person. These qualities reflected his teaching style and children enjoyed being in his class. He was a loyal staff member - a quiet, but always supportive friend to his colleagues. I was shocked to hear of his passing, and offer my condolences to Gavin's family at this sad time. May you be comforted to know that he will be remembered by his teaching fraternity." —Linda Ross In April of 2016, Gavin settled the question that many had concerning Bob Thiel. Did he possess an actual degree from an accredited University? It seems not. You can read about it HERE. Dead from cancer. |

George Witt |
May 29, 2016 |
Philadelphia Church of God "minister" that told a PCG family to leave its disabled child at the mall so someone else could take care of it, has died. A letter at the Exit and Support Network states: "I was once told by a minister in PCG to "get rid of" my mentally handicapped son with cerebral palsy or don't return. He told me to put him in some facility, or if I couldn't afford that, then take him somewhere that he would not know and abandon him in the mall or somewhere that people were. He said someone would find him and put him away, and that I was to turn and not look back, and just leave him there!" |
|
Lowell Blackwell |

Roger Van Abels |
May 16, 2016 |
He was a minister in Worldwide Church of God / Grace Communion for over 40 years. He was moved to Louisville in the early 90s and became known as The Hatchet Man due to cutting off anyone who didn't agree with the changes... firing his associate and putting out large groups of people at a time. |
|
Robert Ardis |

A false prophet who left PCG around 1997 and formed his own group called Church of God's Faithful goes to his reward where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. At age 84. |
|
Almon McCann |
February 4, 2016 |
Vietnam vet who witnessed the true horrors of war. Founder of the Ex-Christadelphians group. Former WCG member and webmaster of the former Painful Truth forum for many years. Almon was known to many as "Corky' on a variety of blogs within the anti-armstrong movement. His wit and 'in your face' approach will be truly missed. On the Ironwolf website he writes "My mother died the same year that I joined the Christadelphians (1978), from refusing an operation that would have saved her life, thanks to "God’s Ministers". I had to preside over the grave side service myself – God’s Ministers were too busy to make the 120 mile trip from Little Rock to Helena, Arkansas. My mother’s name was Lorene Miller (in case anyone remembers)." ~From cancer. |
|
Ronald Dart |
January 23, 2016 |
From T-cell lymphoma. For many years, Dart was GTA's right hand man. From AR-61 we read "Dart is a skilled writer and effective preacher. Author David Robinson used to frequently say, for instance, that of all the ministers WCG produced, Dart may have been the best at educating his listeners." More HERE. |

Bob League |
January 8, 2015 |
Enforcer for the LCG. Last project for Meredith was to "weed out" dissenters. From 'Banned by HWA': 'Mr. League even went so far as to say that if he were to call a member in the middle of the night and ask them to drive circles around the block for 4 hours, they should obey without asking questions.' Dead at 82 from multiple organ failure. |

Bernie Schnippert passed away last night about 7 PM as he was sleeping. His wife Arlene wrote “I wanted to let you all know that Bern passed away about 7:00 pm this evening. He was asleep and it was very peaceful. His months and years of suffering are now over and he can be at peace.” Bernie had prostate cancer and resided in Bend OR. In a article on the GCI website, he spoke of his greatest contribution saying: “The most important contributions that I feel I have made to the church are the successful sales of the Big Sandy and Pasadena campuses during a critical period in the church’s spiritual journey and establishing a sound employee retirement plan." |

John Kennedy |
2006 |
John Kennedy, former pastor of Pasadena West PM, and most recently pastor in the Maine congregations, died as a result of, I think, prostate cancer. It's sad, really. This was a guy that ... I dunno, on the one hand I liked him because I don't think he ever actually drank the Kool-Aid, but at the same time, he encouraged (almost) everyone else to go ahead and take a big gulp. I was one of the ones that he never pushed the Kool-Aid on, though. I think that he expected I would wind up like him - a minister, cynical, etc. He died sometime in 2006, I can't remember when. |
|
Art Docken |
3/29/06 |
Based on testimonials from some WCG survivors, Mr. Docken was a rarity in WCG -- a minister who actually cared about his flock. |
|
11/21/04 |
Benson and Stabler would love this guy! Widely described as the "architect" of church doctrine, "Doctor" Hoeh spent much of his life preaching against the evils of masturbation, yet reportedly had secrets of his own. Oddly, after nearly half a century of designing and preaching Armstrongism, Hoeh apparently had no trouble turning his back on it when the Tkach empire flushed it down the toilet. To his credit, he didn't start his own mini-cult |

Hi! I haven't seen a notice on your website re: David Jon Hill's death which occurred in November, 2003 (you may have posted it, however, and I might have missed it--even though I frequently check for new material from you). Anyway, if you and other readers are interested, you could go to Ken Westby's website at: http://www.godward.org. Jon Hill was in the process of writing a 4-part historical/autobiographical article for Westby's ACD magazine, but only completed 2 before he died

You probably never heard of Becky Rush; she was one of the "little people". A survivor of the WCG, she found The Painful Truth and joined the PT Forum, where she captured our hearts. Of all the names listed on this page, her name is easily the most important. We wouldn't trade one Becky for all the snakes in Pasadena. Becky Rush was precious. If there really is a heaven, Becky is the only person on this page to get in...and she didn't have to pass through a metal detector to do it. We still miss her. |

Howard Clark passed away at age 72. Clark was so badly crippled by a hand grenade in the Korean War that he could move nothing but his little finger.

Mr. Cole had suffered nearly complete paralysis and general deterioration of health following a stroke several years ago. He was receiving extensive therapy for this in his home, but apparently to no avail. |
|
|
1/16/02 |
Apparently, he'd had a heart attack some days previously, had come out of hospital, and was sitting at his computer the other day, and collapsed with a massive cardiac. Whatever one thinks of Martin's theology, he must be admired for standing on principle. He was one of the first to leave when the cult refused to correct doctrinal error. |
