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.
Herbert Armstrong's Tangled Web of Corrupt Leaders
And what was the topic of the previous 7 lessons? Government is everything? So it's blind obedience to ministers first, obedience to the ministers interpretation of the bible second, and lip service to Christ third.
I wonder how Jesus was depicted for the kids. The Jews of 30 AD didn’t pick up on the fact that Jesus was the Messiah, because they expected a warrior messiah to come and liberate them from the Romans. Jesus presented instead as what theologians have referred to as the “suffering” messiah. Armstrongism always downplayed the suffering messiah of the gospels who died so that mankind’s sin debt could be paid, and preached instead the warrior messiah of Revelation.
It’s as if Armstrongites expect Jesus to be like Duane Chapman, Dog the Bounty Hunter, who is a baddass when he’s taking down the people who have skipped on their bail, but then shows them mercy, kindness, and prays with them as he takes them to jail.
If people really want diversity, doesn't that mean that they want MORE cults, and MORE different, "strange" and wacky religions? And MORE different opinions, which they will then deride as "conspiracy theories".

The previous 7 levels were roughly tailored to 5 to 11 year olds. Level 8 was preteen, one more level for the pre-teens and then they were YOU age. The topics were primarily stories of OT personalities - David and Goliath, Samson, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and so on and so forth and what have you. Nothing on building a relationship with Jesus Christ at an early age, or anything about Jesus at all. Plenty about the Holy Days, offerings, learning the books of the Bible.

I have not posted personal info yet because I am still figuring things out- right now I am leaning towards Messianic Judaism- the ones who still believe most of the law is still in effect plus puzzling out my family DNA results
I didn't allow my kids to do the "youth bible lessons".

Well, it took from Adam to Jesus, 4000 years to get to Jesus. Maybe they started at Genesis, which is like, you know, the beginning.
ReplyDeleteGod is evil. It took him 4000 years to get around to sending Jesus.
There seems to be no way to contact the individual writers, which suggests that they are just aliases.
