Those fine upstanding folk at COGWA, who conspired behind UCG's back while on UCG's dole have elected new leadership. Men only, of course. The same men who conspired to form UCG when they split from WCG, then did the same planning behind UCG's back to form their new splinter cult. Same old unethical actions with a new church name. Same old, same old.
Don't expect anything new from this group. As they fall back into retro mode and worship all things HWA prior to 1986 look for more people to defect from their group. Some have already left because they realized they had bought into a lie and have returned to UCG, or left the COG completely.
They having nothing worthwhile for the world and will only gain a few converts who already have some kind of COG background.
The awesome new leadership is:
Jim Franks
Douglas Horchak
Clyde L. Kilough
Joel Meeker
Richard Pinelli
Richard Thompson
Leon Walker

NO2HWA, that graphic is absolutely fantastic! Outstanding!
I'm beginning to think that these people would be more effective if they began to behave as a secret society, like the Illuminati, or the Knights of Templar. Problem is, first some insiders would need to become prominent, and everyone capable of that usually ends up leaving Armstrongism. They'd also need to learn the concept of loyalty, otherwise they'd end up diluting their secret society into a bunch of splinters.
It's kind of funny that the Hells Angels can go around absorbing all kinds of motorcycle clubs around the world, but all a pseudo-Christian group can do is splinter.

Most of those guys are getting really old. I know Leon Walker and Richard Pinelli have to be in their mid-seventies. They were in college with me. What's going to happen when they bite the dust?
I suppose there are younger goose steppers who will somewhat toe the old line, but I don't think the splintering is anywhere near over.
Well, as a kind of organizational model, we can probably learn much from rookie/old cop scenarios on police forces across the country, or from young torpedo/old convict interactions in the penal system.
In the cop scenario, oldsters don't always agree with the youngsters, but somehow they end up reluctantly providing backup. The young ones bring change, but their actions are often tempered by the established patterns of the veterans. Change is, therefore, slow.
In the jail scene, the torpedoes are applying their strength and energy to enforce the edicts that the seasoned convicts give. The torpedoes know better than to attempt to take power, because the old guys have the experience, loyal allies, and organizational ability to maintain their power.
