Idiots in the Pulpit: Kenneth Hagin - Unholy Laughter
Is UCG An Authority On Addictions?
Would you go to UCG as an authority on addictions? Given how rampant alcoholism is in UCG and the COG's I would be very cautious.
Since 99.5% of COG ministers have never had any training in REAL counseling and addiction counseling, I would find it hard to sit in front of one of these guys. Education garnered through years of classes and clinical work with trained thereapists advising you, have always been frowned upon by Armstrongism. Therapy, counseling, and addiction work has always been looked upon as tools of Satan by so many in Armstrongism. Addictions were just problems weak, unconverted poepel were too stupid to deal with without God's help.
I do at least have to give UCG some credit for making this rather small step. I also know that many in UCG do not like the fact the Breaking Free site is in existence, particularly it's gay related links.
