The Holy Feet of Herbert W Armstrong walked on these tiles!

The PCG in Seattle recently had a fun day visiting all the sites in Seattle that has religions and historical significance to Herbert W Armstrong.

PCG Families Tour Seattle Historic Sites From the Life of Herbert W. Armstrong

WASHINGTON—Early on February 2, seniors, parents, teens and young children embarked on a historic tour of Seattle. Aboard a rented school bus filled to capacity, they rolled out of the Tacoma Mall to destinations that held significance in the church’s Philadelphia era, led by Herbert W. Armstrong.

The tour included important sites in Seattle, Everett and Tacoma where Mr. Armstrong worked beginning in the 1940s and into the early 1980s. Narrated with quotations of letters and advertisements written by Mr. Armstrong, the tour included photos of him at some of the locations.
“The 1940s proved to be a wonderful time in church history,” the tour brochure read, “as God guided His end-time Elijah through open doors and miracles to continue to grow His Work and to lead it on a path to reaching the largest audience possible. Fast forward to 1981, and God through Mr. Armstrong was working on trying to get the Worldwide Church of God back on track.”

They even visited a train station where HWA got on board a train.  He got on a damn train and this is historically significant??????????????  WTF is wrong with these people?

Next they saw Seattle’s Great Northern Railway station, where Mr. Armstrong had boarded the Empire Builder to travel east. He visited radio station managers along the way to increase the reach of the gospel message. The station was adjacent to the Seattle Seahawks football stadium, and surrounding streets were full of cheering Super Bowl fans.

 

Then they ended this glorious trip traveling to a mall that was built over the location where there used to exist a theater that HWA preached in.

Finally, the group wound up back at the Tacoma Mall at a doughnut shop, the former location of a theater where about 350 Worldwide Church of God members met for services in 1970 and 1978.

What can be said after this...Oy!

Armstrongism Relied on a Gynecologist To Predict Famine in the 1970's

Living Armstrongism has a great little piece up today concerning Armstrong's use of a gynecologist in predicting an unspeakable famine in the US in the mid 1970's.

Living Armstrongism says:

Who on earth listens to a gynecologist to listen to (inaccurate) alarmist assertions that famines will occur in the 1970s and takes them seriously? The leaders of "God's Church" producing the Plain Truth magazine. That's who.

And to think many people think of WCG before Garner Ted Armstrong's initial suspension in 1972 as a glorious utopia of people united under HWA and having far more truth than anyone else on the Earth. And their leaders at the time were foolish enough to publish something like this.
