Ever since the Worldwide Church of God imploded into hundreds of splinter groups, the Armstrong Churches of God have had major marketing issues in getting their message out to the world. UCG and LCG slap themselves on the back by boasting about programs on Roku and other streaming devices and quote outrageous figures of "potential" viewers as if they are actual viewers. Millions of people do NOT tune in to their programs. Most just skip past or watch a couple minutes to get an idea on what the app is about and then move on when they see it is a religious program.
None of the ACOG have ever been able to figure out how to appeal to the younger generation. Certain mainline churches have found that niche and draw in thousands of millennials, GenX, GenY, GenZ, to worship services, but not one single ACOGever has. And, why should they? What do any of the ACOG have to offer that is of value?
When a person lives in a crazy world with potential upheavals just a phone swipe away, why would anyone want to park their butt in a 2-hour service where the minister is constantly talking about death and damnation soon to hit the world, about being zealous in order to become vindictive Pharisees, or listening to a crooked Chief Overseer rail on in a sermon filled with 30-40 DIFFERENT subjects? Who needs that?
I’m an elder millennial BB (born in 80s), ex COG, and the last generation who witnessed WCG as kids.
The COG has a major marketing problem. How do you make appealing doctrines like BI that go against genetics?
How do you keep talking about the return of Christ and the end times without addressing living in harmony in the modern world?
Homosexuals are continually railed against but many have co-workers, acquaintances, or dare I say friends who are gay.
Also as a generation who has witnessed graphic design, special effects, and cutting edge technology. Telecasts of all kinds look cheesy, their messages are not exciting and do not hold our attention.
How are two hour services still a thing? Cut that in half lol
What is new and innovative in Armstrongism? Not much at all.
Also, millennials have their issues but in my experience Baby Boomers are the most entitled group as they are receiving the most entitlements currently. As a generation we’re passionate, adaptable, thoughtful, and harder to sell on things.
Especially mass market products like Armstrongism and Applebee’s.
