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.

Brethren, Please Rise and Open Your Hymnal To Page 1
In the Millenium, it will be, "Brethren, would you please pick up your hymnals, and turn to page 7. We are going to sing one of the most inspiring hymns ever written, Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven"!
This brought back a few memories. I remember when the ‘revised’ Bible Hymnal was given to us all. And how the minister at the time ‘reverently ’ opened the ‘book’ with great fanfare. And then lead us all on a hearty singalong before services. I admit I enjoyed the songs we sang, and just occasionally they sound off in my mind bringing me back to another time. Tanks for the memories……………..
I really enjoyed the AI version of the hymn; much better than the original. Could you have it slightly re-mastered in Linkin Park style? Linkin Park's lead vocalist is an Armstrong; but most likely not the wrong kind of Armstrong, given her primo artistry.
Not bad, but if we are going to modernise the old hymns, we could come up some better wording, but each to his own musical taste. Here is my modernising of "The Church's One Foundation": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcQW4qqdR3c
Ironically, I've been downsizing throwing out much of my earlier life, and recently came across a box that had two WCG purple hymnals burried inside it. Any suggestions on what I should do with them?
Ebay those Purple Joy-Killers, Richard! They may not be of any value to guys like us, but someone from one of the ACOGs would love to get their hands on them! 😀

It's got a beat. You can dance to it.
ReplyDeleteI give it a "Holy Mighty Majesty" - page 75. :-)

Burn them.
DeleteI recently came across many Envoys, magazines, booklets, purple hymnals, and more -- and I discarded them so as not to pollute anyone else.
