Armstrongism Had Resurrections....Up Until the Pagan 70's

I bet none of you knew that there were WCG/RCG members who had died in the 40's-50's-60's that God had resurrected!!!!! Are they still walking the earth today???????

I don't know where this crackpot got that 'information', but here it is, in all it's glory:

What doctrinal changes do we have to reject in order to get back to the truths once delivered by our Savior to His Called out ones through Herbert W. Armstrong? Those who were in the church in the 60's and before, saw miracles, healings, demons dealt with, even resurrections from death. These signs became rare once we entered the 70's. Was God the author of all changes, or did our enemy influence the church much earlier than any of us comprehended at the time?


Nope, they aren't here!  So it must be true!

The mythology that permeates Armstrongism is just amazing. We always mocked those that had myths as part of their traditions, yet we were consumed by our own myths and legends. One of the most perverse myths that always irritated me was the myth that HWA was resurrected in Tuscon so he could reform the church. It was disgusting to see how people bought into it.

And who can forget the fools that still wait for HWA to be resurrected every January of the date of his death.  They used to hold vigil at his grave at Mountain View Cemetery in Altadena.

Appaling Story of Abuse in the Church

Ambassador Reports Blog has an appalling story up of abuse in the WCG Duluth MN church.

This is just an excerpt.  Read the entire story here Diane's Story



If Mr. William D. Gordon is still alive, I hope his life has been hell on earth.  I hope every single day this man lives with the guilt of what he did to me and my mother.  I hope there is a hell that he will go to, but moreover,  I hope his hell lives with him every day he is alive.  I despise him, and I despise his wife, Helen, for doing NOTHING to stop the abuse of myself and my mother.  I loved Helen, and she did NOTHING but teach me to iron linen napkins while her husband, a servant of Satan to my mind, got  to counsel my dad on how to hit his wife more to make her submit.  I hate them both.    I have no pity for any suffering of theirs.   None.  Good people of God would have done something, ANYTHING.  They would have admitted that God does not condone spousal abuse. Good people of God would have called the police and had my dad arrested.  Good people, good ministers of GOD would have taught my dad that God does NOT condone abuse and that my mother does NOT have to submit to what is unGodly. They would have examined their hearts and repented. Instead, they COVERED up the abuse of my mother and God knows how many other women in the Duluth congregation.   They conspired to COVER up abuse, knowingly, willingly and with full consent.  That is unforgivable.   Ministers have a duty to the people in their congregation, to help them, not hurt them.  I don't even know why Gordon became a minister. I think he was unduly influenced by the "tent revival" preachers of his day, the power they seemed to have. I do not think for a minute that William Gordon ever wanted to sincerely serve anybody.  That man does not know the meaning of the word "service."
