Growing Up As A Young Girl In The Church of God

Image taken from Truth About Makeup written by Herbert W. Armstrong and published by the Worldwide Church of God. Text reads: Is this what YOU want to look like? Notice the make-up – the redrawn eyebrows – the painted lips and fingernails. WHY does this woman wear make-up? You guessed it! – she was taken into custody as a prostitute for breach of the vice laws in California! Is this the kind of woman you want to portray?

From: The Year I Learned to Love Snow: We harlots and temptresses 

My girlhood was filled with sermon upon sermon admonishing women to submit to their husbands in all things. A wife’s sexual submission to her husband was particularly important. There were sermons about how long after giving birth a wife could reasonably deny her husband sexual pleasure. I heard about which sex acts between husbands and wives were allowable and which were immoral. I learned from the pulpit that a wife could save herself from cystitis by wiping front to back.

I heard sermons from ministers angrily admonishing women in the congregation for the length of their skirts and the way they crossed their legs. Even ministers could not control their sexual thoughts with these kinds of distractions. And how dare women behave this way as God’s Ministers were in the act of preaching The Word of God.

The way women and girls dressed, whether they wore make-up or not, was constantly policed. Make-up was forbidden. Then it was allowed. Then it was forbidden again before it was finally allowed. Ministers called women vain; they called them harlots and whores. Pants were forbidden. Then pants were allowed. Skirts were measured. Jewelry was questioned. Hairstyles were critiqued. If women appeared out of line or “had a bad attitude,” ministers would approach their husbands and tell them to “correct their wives.”

The message was that ministers, husbands, and fathers owned rightful claim over my female body and that any deviation from their wishes, any autonomous expression of my gender, any unsanctioned sexual activity would bring punishment.

Satan Attacks New Apostle of the Lord to the COG's

Satan is ticked off again at the Church of God because it will NOT stop playing Herbert Armstrong's old videos.  Satan becomes enraged at the mere sound of HWA's voice and does all he can to stop it.

Once more, an Apostle of the Lord is being attacked by Satan, or shall we say Satan gets blamed for it.  After all, he is the god of the airwaves and the gospel message has to flow through radio signals in the air.  The Church of God has given Satan more power than the Jesus they claim to follow has.  Jesus is almost impotent at the mere presence of Satan.   Satan was even more powerful than God was when he was unable to keep his message alive for 1,900 years after he lost it.  Thanks to HWA coming along and finding it again!

Satan has been busy with the Feast and all, he has sent hurricanes, fires, earthquakes, sickness, boring sermons, you name it and he has been busy making COG members lives miserable this year.  He has also been busy stopping HWA videos from being played by the Messenger/Apostle of the Lord.

Meet Apostle Jeshurum, the only true predecessor of Herbert Armstong who is actually doing a work.  Almost ordained Bob Thiel and Chief Pharisee James Malm are shaking in his boots right now!

The Book and the Man That Rescued Me From Bible Literalism

"As far as the evolutionary debate is concerned, it is really over, and if the religious community does not know that Darwin won, they are simply not abreast of the times."

"Some people are approached through the mind.  Others are approached through the emotions."

"...I wish you well.  However, survival rate in that context (WCG) please know, is not high."
