The Church of God version of the Holy Trinity. Armstrongism gets dumber by the day.
The Body of Jesus Christ is connected to Jesus Christ. God the Father sent His Son. His son, Jesus Christ sent Herbert W Armstrong! Jesus Christ THROUGH Herbert W Armstrong sent the ministry! It was God the Father that sent them through Jesus Christ and Herbert W Armstrong! Eliminate any one of them, and you erase yourself from God's Church and Coming Kingdom, and from the book of Life! There is Government in His Body, and you break that chain in that Governmental line, whom God and Jesus Christ placed, you're not in it. Hirelings, and wolves look to draw away members of God's Church, unto themselves, unto their organization and corporate Church. If they cannot pull the Father of the family, they go after the wife. And if the wife cannot be pulled away, they will go After the Children. I have witnessed this very thing! I have lived through it, and God shows me instantly when it happens, by the power of His Holy Spirit. Because without it, I would be blind to it. I wouldn't see it. But I do. That's God through and through, and the Glory goes to God. I have come across many wolves, who seek to steal and destroy, JUST AS JESUS CHRIST SAYS! They, the hirelings and wolves, say the sheep have a path of destruction behind them, because many have clung to them with vain flatteries, or false pretenses! With ulterior motives! And their plans fell through and came to nothing! God's Word is true every time! Some were trying to take the children , literally. Some sought more members for their corporate Churches. All with lies and deception, false pretenses, of their father the Devil! Judge the fruits! What does God say He will do? The fire of God is coming up on the disobedient and rebellious! God come quickly and RIP your sheep from their claws and deliver what they have delivered to us!

Jesus Christ through Herbert W Armstrong sent Joseph Tkach to lead the church. By rejecting the decision of God's Apostle, the Kitchens have cut themselves off and for eliminating themselves will soon face the Lake of Fire.
Honestly that is what all COGs believe, they're just a little less obvious in their worship of HWA.
Who sent Garner Ted Armstrong ?.
Based on this logic, everyone who lived prior to 1892 cannot be in the Kingdom of God.
Because that's when Herbert Armstrong was born.
Too bad for Polycarp and Peter Waldo. :-(
For good journalism, please do proper source references. Where does this come from?
''Eliminate any one of them, and you erase yourself from God's Church and Coming Kingdom, and from the book of Life!'
The statement eliminating Armstrong causes one to be erased from the book of life is a heresy, and as another pointed out, is held by all these offshoots. And how far from the truth can one be?
The only thing we can be sure of is that lies and stupidity will prevail in the end.
He said the quiet part out loud. Before I came into a splinter group, I was reading their booklets, magazines, television program. Once I started attending, most of all I heard was HWA this and HWA that. It's either that statement, or they believe HWA efforts will be included into the book of Acts. Who knows.
Some people seem to condemn the "fringe" just for being different.
Just one example. Blackrock owns lots of shares in news media as well as in pharmaceutical companies. They sold a lot of "vaccines" (and made a lot of money) by using their media to hype up the "need" for the "covid" so-called "vaccine". That is a fact, not a "conspiracy theory."
You have to look at the percentages, 4:16. The fringe, as you call it, is generally not as reliable a source as vetted mainstream sources. Mainstream sources must use extreme caution with their accuracy, because by nature they have deep pockets, and are likely to be sued if they are inaccurate and it is shown that their inaccuracy has caused damage. They are also monitored by their shareholders and board of directors, aka, an internal system of checks and balances. Wish we'd had checks and balances on Herbie in the old WCG, but I digress!
Also, since you mentioned pharmaceuticals, it is well known that all medications have side effects, usually in the lower percentages. Cost-benefit analyses indicate that the overwhelming good certain medications can accomplish, and their profitability, make them worthwhile to pursue, while moneys are set aside to compensate the relatively few who suffer side effects, and then seek redress through lawsuits.
That's how the world works, and the guy sharimg that information with you hasn't seen a doctor in twenty five years, and doesn't even take so much as an aspirin!
The conscience thingy many Christians have, causes them to review potential investments for red flags. As an example, factors such as whether a company funds stem cell research might influence a Christian's portfolio. That's not unusual because a PETA member will not knowingly invest in the stocks of a company which uses animals for research purposes. Don't you wish we had tye same kind of say in the ways in which the government misspends our taxes?
Most fringe stuff makes for interesting conversation, TV, or political sound bytes, but it's generally pie in the sky. HWA turned his followers into distrustful fringies. I for one became very resentful of his weirdo mandates, and only prefer to be a fringie on things that are actually cool, like hotrods and motorcycles.

Context? Context is everything!
Christ sent Herb and Herb sent his ministry. Notice the vague, deliberately non precise word "sent." Using vague wording is a trait of all banana republic dictatorships. It allows the government to constantly change the meaning of its laws, effectively putting themselves above the law. In ACOG culture, the ministers 'being sent', or 'listen to your minister' or 'obey your minister' really means allowing the ministers to lord it over their members. It's a survival strategy that many denominations use in order to hang onto their members. But it's condemned in the bible. Every member rather than the minister is steward of his or her life. This is in alignment with being made in God's mental image. But I know that this is pearls before swine in these churches. To them, it's bully morality that really works. Well, Esau did get his bowl of stew, so it kinda works.
Control comes from NEED. Thus the controllers must create NEED, or dependence in their followers, in order to have power.
