It did not take long before the jackbooted brown-shirt's in COGaWA's hierarchy to start laying down stupid rules for its potential members. The new Overlord's will be visiting the new potential members to determine whether they are in agreement with all of CGaWA's 1,662+ laws. They are adding to the already impossible list of laws that CANNOT be kept from the Old Testament with a myriad of other laws to imprison members and control them.
Why do these people who left to join COGaWA continue to allow themselves to be controlled? Many of these men and women suffered abuse under HWA, Meredith, Flurry, Kilough and others, yet they are just like dog's coming back to eat their vomit. They think they are martyrs for the truth and that they are required to submit.
Malm has this comment on his blog:
I have been informed that the new COGAWA brethren have been forbidden to study the Bible together and that the new ministry will be visiting them to make sure that they know and agree to the new party line [if not they will be shown the exit]. I do not know if this is in only a few areas due to certain local elders enthusiasm, or whether it is an overall policy.
