So, even if HWA was "God's anointed" at one time, he may very well have later been rejected by God, even though he remained in power. Just because you're God's anointed at one time, doesn't mean you necessarily remain as God's representative. Saul had 85 priests and their families executed. If HWA had asked you to do that, would you? Or would you find it necessary to defy "God's anointed"?

I imagine that there were members who were employed by the WCG, were allowed to bow out of the Social Security program, gave all the money and equity in their homes to the church, avoided doctors, and caused family members to suffer needlessly and perhaps even die. Now, these people might be of retirement age with nothing to live on and a tail of suffering in their wake. How can they admit that they were wrong when that would cause them so much angst? They need to keep their minds closed to the truth and plow forward in self deceit.

What Armstrong did was he took the Sabbath and added the holy days and British Isrealism during the time he was sexually abusing his daughter. Shouldn't we assume that at least his teachings on the holy days and British Isrealism should be questioned because these where added during the time he was sexually abusing his daughter? Do you really think God would use a man involved in such a horrible sin as incest to restore truths?<br /><br />I know that the example of David will be brought up. The difference between David and Armstrong is that David repented but Armstrong wanted to continue to screw his daughter even after she was married! No repentence there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-39503789567779272782015-09-16T17:29:18.139-07:002015-09-16T17:29:18.139-07:00That one is easy, 1:09.

What I can't understand is how people who know the truth about what a pervert HWA was can still hold onto the religion he invented. HWA invented armstrongism while he was raping his daughter! The UCG is filled with people who still latch onto armstrongism even though they know what a scum bag he was. How can this be? Can someone explain this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
