What about choosing none of them? You know the old saying, "The lesser of 2 evils is still evil." I'm ex-UCG and have come to that conclusion ie I can maintain a spiritual relationship with God through Christ Jesus & don't need to be in some man-made money-making machine or dependent on it to give me purpose or direction in life, tell me what is "truth" or how to be "saved." No thank you very much.

The truth been known if HWA was alive he would be tossed out of the old WCG for having his own church. When did a deacon have their own church in the old WCG. NEVER!

It's actually tattoos, but rather than the types of defacing tattoos that make the girls look like horrible burn victims, the makeup tattoo permanently enhances your looks!<br /><br />Later on, if your family and conscience mess up your sense of logic, and make you want to go back to the cult, you have makeup that they can't do anything about.<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-62263281792562977462013-07-18T07:37:41.530-07:002013-07-18T07:37:41.530-07:00Its like the old "Stylistics" song, &quo...Its like the old "Stylistics" song, "Make Up to Break Up" ...<br /><br />Break up over make up, that's all we do...<br />First you love me then you hate me...<br />That's a game for fools...<br /><br />Luv, <br />Joe Moeller<br />Cody, WY <br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08762918803284340960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-88427616696991976742013-07-18T07:36:32.714-07:002013-07-18T07:36:32.714-07:00What occurs to me is that if you take this "d...What occurs to me is that if you take this "doctrine" literally, and to its logical conclusion then paint of any kind becomes wrong, because it changes the appearance of anything to which it is applied, thus creating a lie. What happens when you paint a house, or a car? It no longer appears in the natural state, natural wood, or natural metals.<br /><br />Also, it becomes wrong to attempt to improve the appearance in any way of anything. That would make an idol of that thing.<br /><br />This, of course, is nothing less than Armstrong worship. If Jesus Christ were to return, and Herbie was at his right hand, these people would be lining up to talk to Herbie, and probably ignoring Jesus. <br /><br />If the designated head of the church has the keys of Peter, then we should be what all of the binding and loosing decisions throughout the centuries have led to: Catholic. Or, if this is something that just started with that great restorer, HWA, then everyone should have taken Joe Tkach seriously. But, they treat it as if HWA were the only one in the history of Christianity who has ever had the keys of Peter, and that everything the man ever said became permanent forever and ever. <br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-50387804149402622442013-07-18T04:51:48.751-07:002013-07-18T04:51:48.751-07:00OK, so because someone got drunk at a birthday par...OK, so because someone got drunk at a birthday party and killed someone, no one can celebrate birthdays. Because someone used make up to seduce someone, no one can wear make up. When will they ban raisin cakes since they were used in pagan worship (Hosea 3:1)? Mr. Flurry, does your ban on raisin cakes also include raisin toast? Cinnamon buns? How about plain old raisins. And since raisins come from grapes and grapes are used to make wine, can we drink wine any longer?

Do not hide behind the authority of the Bible or HWA. <br /><br />I heard Roderick C. Meredith himself say that HWA banned makeup after he saw his daughter Beverly appear wearing too much makeup. He got really mad and her and then banned makeup. <br /><br />Don't listen to HWA's article. That is the real reason he banned makeup.<br /><br />He later allowed it. His second wife, Ramona Martin (nee Crittenden), wore makeup. HWA reimposed his makeup ban partly in the hope that it would cause her to divorce him. (That failed. HWA filed for divorce.) <br /><br />He was also probably hoping to get more money from WCG members who no longer bought makeup. It was all about money.<br /><br />I first encountered that article in Pabco's Home Page so I encountered that article fairly early in my encounter with Armstrongism. But they, HWA, Hoeh, say that the church is to grow in understanding and Meredith's LCG allowed. So I said they must have grown in understanding to allow makeup, so I ignored the fact that HWA banned makeup. <br /><br />I ignored how this ban reveals that HWA despised women and wished to see them firmly under the control of men. I blinded myself to how this ban must have been terribly oppressive for women.<br /><br />I am a man so, alas, it was easier for me to simply blind myself to what this vicious, women hating prohibition revealed about HWA's character and negative attitudes towards women. <br /><br />Today, now that I have renounced Armstrongism, I find this makeup ban astoundingly disgusting and abhorrent. Any man who imposes this<br />ban is a women hater.<br /><br />Daniel Cohran is a women hater.<br /><br />Don't tell me he has a wife or daughters and this proves otherwise. Any man who truly cares for women would not impose this terrible burden on them.Redfox712https://www.blogger.com/profile/17734930967002040931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-13762880835535744152013-07-18T01:53:03.134-07:002013-07-18T01:53:03.134-07:00Whaaaa?

So there are no minor doctrines in the COG?!?! <br />He sounds like he'd fit right in with the Pharisees of Christ's day of whom our Lord and Saviour corrected for their false accusations and rigid condemnation of innocent people (Mt 12:7). And wth does he mean by "all the doctrines placed into the COG"??? By whom??? Armstrong?!?! Ummm do they know he's dead & been dead for over 20 years?!?!<br />It's a wonder none of these Armstrong-followers have ever used a medium to get in contact with HWA to find out which "doctrines" are still applicable or not seeing that HWA himself was hot and cold changing his mind all the fcuking time! Talk about inconsistency?!?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
