The other day I published an entry about a Church of God couple who are now in prison for 20+ years each for child abuse. Here is an entry that I posted on another newsgroup just prior to the sentencing. It quotes from The Plain Truth About Child Rearing, one of Armstrognism's most vile booklets. The millennial couple - followers of God's truth restored after 1,900 years through Herbert Armstrong took to heart the teachings promoted in "The Plain Truth About Child Rearing" Here is how they will justify their degenerate child abuse practices. They will use Armstrongism writings and proof text parts of them to justify their actions. Everything has to come straight from the Old Testament. And as usual they pick and choose those 'laws' they think are still required while ignoring those laws that they don't like. This is straight from one of the loony splinter cult sites:

Exposing the underbelly of Armstrongism in all of its wacky glory! Nothing you read here is made up. What you read here is the up to date face of Herbert W Armstrong's legacy. It's the gritty and dirty behind the scenes look at Armstrongism as you have never seen it before! With all the new crazy self-appointed Chief Overseers, Apostles, Prophets, Pharisees, legalists, and outright liars leading various Churches of God today, it is important to hold these agents of deception accountable.

Re: "The Plain Truth About Child Beating" booklet
Garner Ted Armstrong is the one who needed a serious spanking.
Most of the problems associated with old school WCG are multi-level in nature. Now, I take great exception with the theme and content of GTA's Childrearing opus. However, there is a deeper problem
We know that child abuse is a cycle which travels from generation to generation. Many of the people who came to WCG had been abused as children. Common sense would dictate that such people avoid all kinds of corporal punishment, simply because of the danger of lapsing into or perpetuating the cycle which their parents visited upon them. Apparently, amateur psychologists HWA and GTA never considered this.
Their lack of depth in the behavioral sciences also manifests itself in the church's policy on drinking alcohol. It would have been very intelligent counsel for members to examine a wide variety of personal and hereditary circumstances related to alcohol consumption rather than teaching that the Bible gives blanket permission and approval for imbibing.
Such lack of depth is yet another reason why I believe that God had nothing to do with HWA/WCG, although He may have been active in the lives of some sincere people who were part of the movement.
