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
Pack pirated his ideas and several booklets off of Herb the Liar.
Herb the Liar pirated his theology from the British-Israel people and a bunch of other people including that cult that was started by that lying free-mason who's name I forget.
Before that the lying Rabbi Paul pirated the story of Jesus off of the pagans.
Before that, the liars who wrote the old testament pirated a good deal of that from the pagans.
The pagans just made it all up, but they never meant it to be taken literally.
I have been watching the series on the rise of ancient Rome on Amazon (free in October from Great Courses). Just finished the episode on family and the meaning of Paul's instructions on allowing marriage became more clear. The paterfamilias was the senior male of the Roman household. He basically was law to everyone in his family - was legally allowed to put them to death. Wives status was the same as a daughter. Most marriages were arranged by the two heads of households usually without the bride and bridegroom meeting each other. The woman's responsibilities were to stay at home, make clothing, and tach the children.
The churches who believe in the infallibility of the Bible are perpetuating ancient Roman society with the husband being the indisputable head and the rest of the household watch out - especially if he was mean. One husband beat his wife to death because she dared take a drink of wine in front of guests.
Great TLA. When I studied introduction to Roman Law at Uni, I got epiphany on the "adopted sons" thing. Which was huge in Roman society, also many Ceasars having been adopted and assuming full rights as heirs under the new family name, like the Julii.
The wife thing being an outlaw or "legal child" ended about 1954 in the Western World didn't it?
I remember a few times on radio GTA told the story of the Pittsburgh Pirates getting their name from "pirating" a player. GTA's story seems to be true (see "The Beer and Whisky League", by David Nemec, 1994) - but outside the USA it was more "Americanisms in Evangelism".
