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

Part of the nature of being human is that frequently, even the best people work at counter purposes to one another. This is because we all have different needs based upon the exponential numbers of variables. And there are perfectly logical advocates for each "side" of a battle.
ReplyDeleteSince Armstrongism always taught that one size fits all, most long term members and ministers tended to see those with a different sets of needs through their hyperbolic glasses, ie, as being "of the devil". A mature development of negotiation skills was non-existent amongst COG members.
Unless you can create your own personal vacuum in which to apply this, as have Dave Pack or Gerald Flurry, this inbred belief would place you in a position in which your personal success is very limited in the real world.
Dave's protective bubble will not shield him or his members forever. Eventually their collective karmic debt will break through. A better level of leadership would take all factors into consideration soas to manage this karmic debt and protect the members. This is not found anywhere in the Armstrong leadership text book, so there can be no happy ending. May not be a Jim Jones or David Koresh level settling, but still, there will be a reckoning.
