Growing Up In Armstrongism



Benjamin Grant Mitchell discuss life growing up in Armstrongism:



Another COG Rag In The Works



Those fine folks at COGWA are getting ready to start a new rag geared towards members. It's called One Accord.  Now that all the planning and scheming while in UCG employment is over and they have formed their new organization, they continue to move forward taking more and more UCG members into their fold.

I hardly think One Accord speaks well of COGWA or any of the other COG splinter cults.  They are not of one accord.  There are still divisive elements within COGWA, UCG and all the other COGlets.  The scheming, manipulating, and back stabbing will continue on till they all die a merciless death.

I can't imagine what Salyer would have to contribute to this new paper.  Though he is an expert on destroying churches and stealing members.

Launching church newspaper! One of the greatest ties that bind a family together is knowing what is happening in the lives of each member of the household. To that end, we are pleased to announce a new publication for the members of our spiritual family, the Church of God, a Worldwide Association.

Beginning in early January, we will begin producing a monthly online newspaper covering the events and news of brethren and congregations around the world. Based on the example of the early Church described in several places in the book of Acts, we have chosen One Accord as the title of this publication. A church newspaper does not create the spiritual quality of “one accord,” of course, but it certainly plays a role in unifying the body when we are aware and informed of our brethren around the world.

One Accord will feature the latest updates of events in the Church, reports from international areas, congregational news, editorials, feature columns and personal announcements such as engagements, marriages, births, anniversaries and obituaries. We will also have annual editions focusing on Feast and camp reports, honoring graduates, etc.

As ones who previously worked together on church newspaper production, Larry Salyer and Elizabeth Glasgow are going to serve as editor and managing editor, respectively. Much of the content will be dependent on what is provided from the members and congregations around the world, so we are asking each pastor to designate a reporter for each of his congregations. Since the first edition will be coming in the next few weeks, please begin sending your photographs, articles and reports as soon as possible. Each pastor has the contact information.

For the foreseeable future, One Accord will be an online publication only. It will be in the standard 8½-by-11 format, however, so it can be easily printed for those who do not have Internet access.

We look forward to the inaugural issue being in your hands shortly!
