Herbert Armstrong's Tangled Web of Corrupt Leaders

E. W. King: "...they become judges, do bad things, and make BLOGS that attack the true Church. Sad, sad…so very sad and hopeless people. People with no hope! "



Eric King is not happy that people pick on him and his little apostate group of followers.  He lashes out at those that call him to task, mock his silly teaching and criticize him.

King imagines himself the leader of the REAL Worldwide Church of God.  What he has done, like 99% of the other splinter groups is copy and plagiarize from the mother church.  He was unable to come up with anything unique to set his church name part from all the others so he had to steal the name Worldwide Church of God in order to make himself half way legitimate.

Because King imagines himself and his little group to be REAL Christians he imagines any insult or critique to be persecution.  He writes:
The Worldwide Church of God has been attacked by many different kinds of people. People who are atheists, people from fallen apostate denominations, people from other faiths, but those who are most angry and outraged at the Worldwide Church of God are those who once belonged to it, the apostates!
He then continues with this:

They usually start their attack not with theological arguments but instead they attack with what “such and such” and with what “so and so” did. The fact of the matter is all businesses, schools, denominations, clubs, etc. have had bad people which have belonged to them and do bad things.Humans are full of sin! [Romans 3:10] When something bad happens, let’s say with a teacher and a student at a public school, does the parent attack every teacher and administrator at the school because of the one incident? Not usually. People understand that humans have to deal with other humans everyday and unfortunately there are some strange ones out there that have no hope.
If the COG, throughout it's modern day incarnation had not claimed itself to be God sent, God inspired, or the true government of God, then when the abuses happened people would not have reacted as they have.  When your church leaders claim to be directly UNDER Jesus Christ and then turn around and abuse and mistreat church members then the people have every right to complain.

    "King imagines himself the leader of the REAL Worldwide Church of God."
    Is E.W. a pedophile? Because the real leader of the real WCG was. If anybody can say they're the real leader of the real WCG, I think you have to be a pedophile. It just comes with the territory.

    "The fact of the matter is all businesses, schools, denominations, clubs, etc. have had bad people which have belonged to them and do bad things."
    Yep. In the case of the WCG, it was the founder and his minions. And now many of those minions have declared themselves neo-(pseudo)-founders and gotten new minions for themselves. This is where you'll find 95%+ of the "bad people" in Armstrongism. These are the people in Armstrongism who do 95%+ of the "bad things." And if that wasn't bad enough, they do them in the name of god.

    "When something bad happens, let’s say with a teacher and a student at a public school, does the parent attack every teacher and administrator at the school because of the one incident? Not usually."
    Lousy analogy. Here's a better analogy: Let's say you discover that something bad has happened, let's say with a teacher and a student at a public school. But then you discover it isn't one incident, it's systematic. In fact, it's what the principal has laid down as policy and expects all his teachers to do. He calls it "education." You have to show these kids "how it's really done." Oh yes, and then you discover the principal is a pedophile.

    "People understand that humans have to deal with other humans everyday and unfortunately there are some strange ones out there..."
    No kidding? Are you talking about yourself, E.W.? And there are also some bad apples out there. The "good" ones don't decide to spend their lives imitating and worshiping pedophiles. So that rules E.W. and the rest of the neo-(pseudo)-founders of all the Herbie-worshipping splinters out of the "good" category. Some of them go into the "bad" category. Others maybe just go into the "strange" category. But they all go into the "do not follow" category.

  2. "E. W. King: "...they become judges, do bad things, and make BLOGS that attack the true Church. Sad, sad…so very sad and hopeless people. People with no hope! ""

    Just another psychopath wanting all the attention. So you have understanding of prophecies. So What? What does prophecy have to do with obeying Christ's commands? Why do you set yourself up as if you are more important than others. Could it be you could not see yourself as just one of the lowly members in one of the many offshoot HWA groups? You feel yourself as MORE important than others, with superior knowledge and you feel you deserve better...You feel a sense of entitlement, just like all the others that have set themselves up as prophets. You do not realize how vain and foolish you appear posting videos of yourself playing your little guitar sitting in your little chair with your little crooked lamp and your little cluttered shelf behind you.
    ...they become judges, and do bad things and make BLOGS that attack the true church...
    they become judges...attacking the true church? Who do you think are the TRUE CHURCH anyway?..."and do bad things"...this statement sounds very childish. Do you realize this? Of course not or you wouldn't have said it!
    "Sad, sad...so very sad and hopeless people. People with no hope!"...
    Yes, I'm sure you are sad, sad, just as are all the other self-appointed prophets that make their living scamming unsuspecting sincere people thinking they are following Christ, but are in actuality worshiping a man.
    Sad, sad...so very sad you are.

  3. Armstrongism: The "true" church with the false prophecies. But, don't judge or attack it! No need to damage the franchise!

    Was their apostle porking his daughter while collecting and plagiarizing the doctrines? Oops, just a little case of being an imperfect witness. No need to speak out about these things!

    Does your apostle say ridiculous things, and comment authorittively about things it is obvious he knows nothing about? Be careful about what you say! Don't want to be like Korah, Dathan, and Abiram!

    Sssshhhhh! No need to hurt anyone's feelings, so don't tell these guys, but the world would be a much better place without their false teaching! They never were very important back in the day, but they learned to define importance based on HWA's ministers, and now they want to live out their fantasies. Smile, everyone, the internet is Fantasy Island!

  4. What nonsense. I oppose cults.

    Eric King is an heretic and does not follow the New Testament at all. Instead he continues to follow the heresies rooted in Judaism (perverted by the Babylonian captivity).

    Where is the gospel of redemption and salvation? Where is the teaching of Jesus Christ, and him crucified (I Corinthians 2:2)?

    The idolatry of physical rituals is painfully obvious: These are not Christians, but perverted faux Jews.

    Now, on top of that, all the CoHAM leaders from Herbert Armstrong on, are kooks -- so noted (and resoundingly ignored) at BritishIsraelism.com (thanks to the investigative reporting of Donna Kossy). British Israelism is a kook religion and E. W. King is merely another of a long string of nutjobs which includes Randy Weaver.

    There is no such thing as a "sound mind" here. CoHAM is filled with nutty ideas of weirdness, including, but not limited to, Stargates under the ocean to let demons in, crazy false prophet predictions of doom on leaders of other sects of the cult, UFOs. It's bad enough to have a disproved church history with Waldensians in it and three tithes that not even the Jews kept when they had a temple, but these crazies insist that they are the only true religion while ignoring Jesus, making stupid predictions which will never come true and insisting that their way of heresy is the only way to salvation.

    The religion created by my cat is the very pattern of this rubbish as the Supreme Cult.

    My cat is smarter than you with your one man show creations.

    Deal with it.

    I respectfully disagree.
    He's added even more kookier crap than the kooky crap that Herbie taught!
