New Video: Early Cult Literature - Timeless Propaganda by Herbert W. Armstrong

 

Want to decode cult propaganda in real time? We’re cracking open Herbert W. Armstrong’s very first Plain Truth magazine (Feb 1934) to show how the founder of the Worldwide Church of God weaponized fear, racism, and end-times hype to build a religious empire. What you’ll learn in this episode: • Why the headline “Is a WORLD DICTATOR About to Appear?” primed readers for panic • How Armstrong named Stalin, Mussolini, and Roosevelt—yet omitted Hitler—to control the narrative • The bogus Tanaka Memorial and early anti-Japanese xenophobia • Proven cult tactics: isolation, apocalyptic urgency, selective scripture, and “secret knowledge” Whether you’re researching high-control groups, leaving the WCG/COG community, or just fascinated by 1930s propaganda, this deep-dive exposes the timeless playbook still used by modern fear-based movements.

UCG and Summer Camp Jesus

 

Sent by a reader here:

UCG posted this about their recent summer camp. Notice anything missing in what they taught their kids about Jesus?

One of our camp goals was to enrich the children’s lives by giving them opportunities to build relationships with other children who share common beliefs, deepen their relationship with God as well as experience a variety of challenging activities. Each morning the entire camp was in Christian living and music classes or adult staff Bible study. Classes emphasized our camp theme “Building Your Foundation of Jesus.” Campers learned about Jesus Christ being the “Word” (John 1:1) who was in the Beginning, was with God, and created all things (Genesis 1:1). 

 

The goal of our staff was to teach the children who Jesus Christ was—that He was the voice from the burning bush, and that He led the children through the Red Sea and wilderness for 40 years. He was there in the beginning—and then came, lived a perfect life, set us an example of how to live, and died for our sins. He will return and His Kingdom will come. He is the one they are to build their life on—the one who God the Father appointed to build His Church—and His love for them is everlasting.
