Garner Ted Armstrong: We Used Mind Conditioning and A Careful Psychological Approach In Our Book!

I wonder how many actually recognized that the Church had carefully written their material with the sole attempt of "Mind Conditioning" and Psychological manipulation? 

It's true. While perusing through the "Bulletin", which was the predecessor to the "Pastor General Report", I noticed that Garner Ted Armstrong was writing to the local Pastors about the practice the church was implementing about local church areas conducting Sex Classes. Apparently, there were long, drawn out classes on exactly how to "do it". Notice the careful wording in this segment: That there was "careful" Mind conditioning being said in the classes of the past. They were certainly well aware of exactly what they were doing, conditioning the minds of their members. 

That was not all that was said about mind conditioning. 

Garner Ted Armstrong, a little farther down, said clearly that the book "God Speaks Out on the New Morality" was carefully produced to condition the mind with what he called a "careful psychological approach". 

This was not just a book on sex. This was a "carefully" constructed book meant to "psychologically" impact readers that Garner Ted Armstrong said could not be duplicated under "lecture" conditions. 

In case you did not need any further evidence that the Worldwide Church of God was a Cult - using Cult techniques - here's something you need to read on Brainwash and Mind Control of the Cults:

Here are some points that are listed within the article:

5) CONFUSING DOCTRINE

9) UNCOMPROMISING RULES

10) VERBAL ABUSE 

12) DRESS CODES

13) CHANTING OR SINGING

15) FINANCIAL COMMITMENT

16) FINGER POINTING

17) ISOLATION 

21) NO QUESTIONS

22) GUILT 

23) FEAR

It is clear, that by the admission of Garner Ted Armstrong, that the Worldwide Church of God was educated in the very psychological techniques they condemned as satanic or demonic. Could it be they were afraid if members learned about these techniques from psychologists, that members would be "on to them"? 

It is clear that by the admission of Garner Ted Armstrong, that the Worldwide Church of God was actively involved in mind conditioning the brethren - admittedly, and knowingly using Mind Control on the members of the Church. It is clear that this conditioning was most likely not only just used on the "New Morality" booklet, but most likely by every booklet written by the church. 

The Church used a careful psychological approach to brainwash the members. Yes, Garner Ted Armstrong admitted that. These booklets were not written in a way of chance. The approach was clear and fully aimed at complete control of the minds of their members for their own gains and purposes. The Worldwide Church of God was a Cult. And The Leaders of the Church knew it all along.

Herbert Armstrong's Protestant Baptism and Receiving of the Holy Spirit

Hinson Baptist Church 

March 10, 1965 Co-Worker Letter:

I was dumbfounded to discover that in boyhood Sunday School

days, I had been taught in many basic doctrines, the precise

opposite of what the Bible plainly teaches. I was astonished to

find that, taken to mean what it plainly says, THE BIBLE MAKES

SENSE! It became the most interesting study of my life. I saw

that I had to surrender my will to GOD. I did. I accepted CHRIST.

I was baptized in a Baptist Church, though I did not join it. My

understanding was opened by receiving God's Holy Spirit -- just as

God promises all minds may be. Now I could begin to UNDERSTAND the

Bible. It was a thrilling experience.

• Herbert Armstrong was baptized in a Baptist Church.
• Herbert Armstrong received God's Holy Spirit from a Baptism in a Worldly Protestant Church.
• If Herbert Armstrong received God's Holy Spirit from a Baptism in a Worldly Protestant Church, then the Protestant Churches are NOT Satan's Churches - making all of Herbert Armstrong's claims and the backbone of his theology invalid.
• If Herbert Armstrong WAS correct that the Protestant Churches and the Catholic Church and all the rest are SATAN'S CHURCHES, then the Baptism he received from these worldly Churches was not God's spirit, but an EVIL SPIRIT. 

CHECKMATE AND BOOM.
