My first encounter with a Minister from WCG was with Fred Coulter. I was 14 years old and he was the Pastor in Boise, Idaho where I first visited WCG and got hooked. I had taken the train from Rochester, NY all the way to Boise at 14 to visit my sister and brother in law, who at the time was a forest ranger but eventually ended up at Ambassador and into the ministry.
The fateful moment in my life was to ask if I could go to church with them.
Fred always struck me as an austere and unreasonably opinionated and incredibly intolerant of anything but himself and his views. He wasn't even satisfied with the scriptures as sold in stores so he made up his own edition to hawk.
True to form, Fred's "me only" and "not you" attitude has shown up in the comments section of the latest Journal.
"Better late than never.
Congratulations on shutting down THE JOURNAL.
It should have been done years ago."

Small minded , intolerant and arrogant "theologians" have always gotten under my skin evidently and still do. In his great mind, Fred evidently feels that others views and experiences with WCG aren't worth expressing or sharing with others. He must also feel that if you aren't following him, you aren't following "CH---RIST!"
(These guys aren't Fred. These guys are like many I have known)
Going off on the brethren...
Don't interrupt me
"Uh oh...I gotta go....."
