The Worldwide Church of God — The Profits of Doom

[ImHereHuckleberry]

This video, while mostly accurate, is presented in such a way as to alienate your intended audience...prospective members of these Churches. That is your aim, right? I would suggest you post something that relies on critical thinking rather than rhetoric. The 10 added commandments part was the low point. A cursory study of the facts proves these beliefs to be consistent with Bible teachings. You SERIOUSLY think that Christ's birthday was on Dec 25? Wikipedia just threw the BS flag at you.

[ImHereHuckleberry]

Preponderance of evidence and testimony of eyewitnesses and victim indicates that Herbert Armstrong had an incestuous relationship with his eldest daughter Beverly that took place between her late teens to adulthood (even in to her marriage). Armstrong claimed he was being directly inspired by God and preached in His name during these years. To me, that completely discredits him as an "apostle", as he claimed to be. Having said that, I found the content of your vid to be highly sensationalized.

[ImHereHuckleberry]

I was a member of the WCG and the PCG (1984-2002), and have first hand knowledge of these organizations. All in all I found the members and most of the ministers to be genuine in their faith. That being said there were many proven abuses. My best friend (son of a PCG minister) died a lingering 18-month (very curable) disease and death to show his faith. (cont'd)

Its amazing what a 10% tithe can purchase over time. Perhaps our government should be paying attention here. We might solve our debt issues.

France and Germany are in the news -looking for a way to create a core of 8 to 10 EU nations. HE WAS RIGHT!

[TheTidvicious]

The WWCG is a cult. HWA claimed to be influenced by God and his followers believed him. THAT is a cult. HWA never denied molesting his daughter... HWA predicted the end of the world on page 184 of The US and British Commonwealth in Prophecy. (it's BEEN 40 years, and people are starving because of corruption, not drought...) You apologists are pitiful! Your complacency is what causes parasites like HWA to use fear, shame and guilt to amass millions of dollars to buy Lear jets and Rolls Royces...

[rapinNtapin]

@TheTidvicious "Its been 40 years"!!! you say so foolishly. Noah prophesied for 100 years about a coming flood was he a "doom sayer" too? Or wait in your eyes is that a fairy tale? Pathetic, Mr. Armstrong was prophesied in Mathew 24:14 by Christ to come on the world seen to preach the coming kingdom of God to all nations. If Mr.Armstrong isnt that man, then tell me WHO IS IT? And if no did then God does not exist. But Mr. Armstrong was that man.What you believe is opinion, and you sir are invain

zzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzz.........................­.....

Stop arguing.

All of us can prophesies but our God only knows what is the right time. Always keep it in our mind what Commandments of our God says. And apply it as long as you can... .Jesus Christ is our model one.

STOP ARGUING and JUDGING EACH OTHER.

(DO YOUR GOOD-BEST AND GOD DO THE REST) --- common sense///

God Bless Us guys! ^_^

[irockeverything]

Let's read the bible people. He was right about a lot of things. Saturday IS the sabbath. Christmas is pagan, along with halloween, easter........i guess you just have to find out for yourself and stop listening to the mass society. Oh wait, i guess you just want to believe what everyone else tells you. I'd be curious if i were you. Where and how did these things come to be??????

[tommycog1]

you waste your time, get a life, move on. BTW your an idiot

[NevadaWrangler]

This was no cult. I was a member as a kid along with my dad. Now, even though I disagree with many of their practices and interpretations of scriptures, this was NOT a damn cult. Just a fringe christian group mislabeled by mainstream christianity. Now I am not defending certain things they have either done or said. But people throw this word "cult" onto anything they don't understand. I am a non denominational christian today because of my bad experiences as a child, but this is NOT a cult.

[ah93704]

@HWACommitedincest You cannot prove he had sex with his daughter. He was never convicted in a court. Your allegations are just plain unproven.

[carbonfconfusion]

moo

[dravenousone]

@MegaMoona123 MegaLoona, you are SERIOUSLY delusional.

I was raised in that evil cult. Your spewing is enough to make me want to puke.

It's kinda obvious also that you are clueless as to what HWA taught.. if you did, you wouldn't be telling anyone to "die in hell".

[lillytimelord]

@MegaMoona123 I hate to bust your bubble but your relgion has stated before at least three times there was going to be a dooms day.. once that dooms day past the heads of your region tried to cover it up and state that they must have made a mistake and picked another random day. It states in the bible NO MAN knows the day when the end comes only god and his son knows.

[jazarstevens]

1975? i've heard that one before... don't ask where,who or when...

[Tyrone8465]

I believe people have a right to chose their own religion. People also have a right, and a duty to speak forcefully against those who abuse other people in the name of religion. Herpies (Herbert) Armstrong, and his son, (GTA), who fornicated students of now defunct, unaccredited Ambassdor College commited such abuse. The abuse continues with splinter group Philadelphia Church of God. Please see websites:

@Tyrone8465 Philadelphia church of is mentioned in revelation. in the very first chapters. hmmmmmm i guess judgement does start at the pulpit.

[Tyrone8465]

The Philadelphia Church of God is one of the splinter groups. Members revere cloaked whore, Herbert Armstrong, who molested his daughter repeatedly for years. My sister abandonded her minor-aged daughter because she wanted no part of this cult. She made her daughter ride for three hours from Redmond, OR, to Salem, OR, sit in a locked car at the end of the parking lot all day without food while she attended the cult for the day, and then a "minister forced her to fast after a "counseling" session

[marcryan71]

@Tyrone8465 - The evils men and women do is their own choices. No human besides Jesus Christ was perfect. Molestation is an evil sin and anyone who commits it will stand accountable before the Great White Throne. I do not know where you got "victims of Herpes" from or what that has to do with Armstrong. I am sorry that your sister has had such a horrible experience...I do not know the full story and details, but it is sad this happened. May God's will prevail.

[rapinNtapin]

@Tyrone8465 Mr. Armstrong molested his daughter? You have a clever imagination to make up things in your head about someone you hate. I can prove and gurantee you this was absolute non sense, especially when the man wrote a book called "The Missing Dimension in Sex". And if he molested his daughter as you say when he had 2, then how could him and his wife's marriage last 50yrs until she died? You are a plain liar and the truth is not in you. And anyone who believes what you say is under a curse!

[marcryan71]

Herbert Armstrong is dead in the grave over 20 years. WWCG broke apart in 1995. This video giving a "warning" is a few decades late. Utter waste of time. - Your 10 Extra Commandments is also false. Easter, Halloween & Christmas are all pagan rituals. The Tooth Fairy doesn't exist. Go to Wikipedia and figure it out. Ham and Shell Fish are "unclean" as stated in the Bible. Sports on Saturday violates the 7th Day Sabbath (Commandment #4). What is the point of your video?

[Tyrone8465]

@marcryan71 One excellent purpose of this video is that it showed your lack of compassion for the victims of Herpies and Gonerrhea Armstrong. The Philadelphia Church of God continues the abuse. My sister and her "god ordained head of the household forced my minor-aged niece to walk for an hour on a highway in Redmond, OR, when she told them she wanted no part of Herpies' cult. Only by luck a friend spotted her and picked her up. Your reference to "pagan rituals" is irrelevant & stupid 

[ah93704]

@Tyrone8465 you sound rather bitter my friend...why do you call him Herpies instead of HErbert? thats just disrespectful
