I never would have thought that a blog done in my spare time would become such a hit. Close to half a million viewers since I started with over 1,100 hits a day. All because I have fun making fun of the craziness we have all come out of. You have to laugh at it all otherwise you become so disgusted that life becomes intolerable.

Banned by HWA is a Lifeguard
Banned by Herbert W. Armstrong is a lifeguard for church goers caught in the riptide of WCG splinter groups. Riptides can pull the unsuspecting into the deep where the end result is almost always a sad result. The few who are rescued by lifeguards are the only ones who live to tell what happened. Spiritual riptides pull many into the deep, where there is little chance of survival. Many church goers end their lives in the depths of spiritual and religious deception.
Beach goers in Southern California are there to have fun and enjoy the surf and sand. Spiritual beach goers, think they are there because they have "truth", when in reality, they are so deceived, they have no clue that they are actually drowning in religious fraud. The Worldwide Church of God was a RIPTIDE of deception, as are ALL splinter groups of the WCG. The "deep" in the spiritual ocean of fraud is full of sharks. Church goers don't wear LIFE-JACKETS, they just plunge into the deep and think nothing will happen.
Quite often, those caught in the spiritual riptide of deception, refuse help or rescue, because they "think" they are "safe." They really are not, they just don't realize that they are SHARK BAIT.
