He was a really nice guy and it's a shame what the cult turned him into and that he never got free from it.<br /><br />We all started out so pristinely innocent and dedicated. Those of us who didn't make it into the ministry were the lucky ones as far as I can see. <br /><br />All priesthoods warp the participants and they soon become pompous and desperate to maintain their positions at all cost. Power corrupts and the more absolute the power, the greater the corruption.Allen C.

They've lost their moral compass (if they ever had one -- which is highly questionable). Selfish, petulant, immoral that causes us to gasp in shame and disbelief (if we aren't too jaded by their past behavior) having become commonplace are touted as being good and positive by de facto leaders who seemed to come to power in rather questionable ways.<br /><br />This has not escaped our attention. We've seen that the Armstrongist leaders are corrupt and self-serving for a very long time. People around the world follow these stories (in comparison, a lot of it makes Americans at large look positively moral and ethical).<br /><br />But the churches of God are changing: They are becoming worse... it's just that they are so very tired for the entropy has set in and they have lost their energy and joy, with only the skulduggery of perverse drama keeping their skeletal remains animated.<br /><br />If they looked in the mirror, they would see nothing, because there's nothing to see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
