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.

Is this an obituary for Dennis Diehl?

ReplyDeleteI was in WCG for many years and attended many Feasts. I have since moved on to the New covenent, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the grace of God.
But I thank you for letting me re-live the love of friends at the feast with this very moving song. Again, thank you for encouriging me to feel those wonderful feelings.
Yeah. Music is a very powerful thing. You'd look around you, feeling a sense of deep kinship, like we all were really the only ones, the chosen few. Somewhere amongst the verses would kick in your memories of loved ones who had passed, never having been part of the church, and you knew you'd see them again. Sometimes there were even the days old memories of the deaths of families on their way to the feast, travelling in the only cars they could afford, old, ratty, unsafe, bad tires and questionable brakes. Tears were evoked and fell freely and without shame.
ReplyDeleteThis would be one of the times when Jesus was mentioned and even featured, and you could certainly feel the power!
I always liked that hymn, although it wasn't used much in favor of Dwight's timeless ditties. Funny, I can't remember where it was but recently it was played on something on tv, not religious broadcasting, and I've been humming it. Odd coincidence Dave!
ReplyDeleteThe word "Goodbye" is a derivative of "God be with you"
ReplyDeleteBeing a part of a group that thinks they are the chosen few created most of the camaraderie. Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses have it too. All three are cultish.
