That very Truth which would and should have set them free through His Grace, but in reality has held them captive and in bondage to a hotch potch of legalism, lies and flummery; known as churchianity or the Christian Religion.
You will find that I pull no verbal punches when talking about mainstream Christianity and please note, I have nothing against mainstream Christians personally. Many of them are kindly people, but they are as deceived as the day is long and a more deluded group of people you would be hard pressed to find and that's because they are deluded by God Himself, no less. No, my battle is not with them but, rather, against the false teaching and the false messages from pulpits that puts True Believers, True sons and daughters into bondage and captivity. In turn this causes them fear, guilt, distress and confusion. This is a process known as "Grace Killing" and you will hear me frequently use this expression for it describes them perfectly. These men stand in their pulpits every week and kill grace. My only desire, therefore, is to set free those who are deceived and troubled by this teaching and in this unfortunate Spiritually distressed condition. As you read this you will, if you are honest with yourselves, know that I am right and will immediately relate to what I am saying. If you don't relate to what I am saying then you are of deluded mainstream Christian persuasion and there is nothing I can do for you.
You see, the people within mainstream Christianity who are totally deluded and therefore quite happy to sit there week after week listening to the ministerial garbage and nonsense that pours from their minister's lips, are not the ones I am interested in, for as The Lord sarcastically said: "the 'healthy' have no need of the physician". No, the people I need to reach are those who sit there each week and come away after a Sunday service Spiritually starving or dying of thirst for lack of water. You know the water I'm talking about, that water The Lord told the woman by the well about. The water that once received quenches our thirsts for eternity. Now if you are one of these people dying of thirst, you have come to the right place.
The Plain Truth about Herbert W Armstrong, or old Herbie if you prefer. The thing is, Herbie wasn't bananas and he didn't buy Vee Dubs, he bought Rollers, now there's a clever 'apostle'!!
OK, with justifiable mocking and sarcasm apart, what is it about the conundrum that is, or was, Herbert W Armstrong and his so called Worldwide Church of God? I say 'is' because this man affected and still does affect so many people's lives in such a negative way; even today, and even though he died over twenty years ago! The nauseous 'hangover' caused by Armstrong's teaching has left its mark on all of us who were 'touched' by his 'teaching'. The ironic part about this 'hangover' is that there was no merry making or drinking before the after affects took their nasty toll, a lose; lose situation if you like, or a real bum deal if you prefer to call it that. Anyone who is a rescued victim of D.M.C. (a DeMoniC - Domination, Manipulation and Control belief system) or a systematic mind controlling cult will tell you of the trauma involved within the healing process. In my view there are no greater wickednesses than those of men who do evil in the name of God and Herbert W Armstrong was such a man. Whether or not he committed those evil sins knowingly and/or willingly I do not know - only The Lord Jesus Christ and The Father know, and perhaps those closest to him and/or those sons of the Devil on his payroll. One thing for sure I do know, is this; I was one of his victims and it behoves me to speak out with The Truth and warn those who may be thinking of joining the 'botox' version of WCG or one of the numerous evil splinter groups that have spewed out of same since the mid to late 1990's. These wretched splinter groups formed when WCG re-invented itself with a skin deep make over as a denomination (demon-ination) of mainstream Christianity (churchianity). So I therefore level this at them today. If they still operate a centralised, financial, money making organisation, whether it be here in the UK or in the United States, they are still a DMC cult and no better than Rome. In actual fact they are worse, for they should know better.
As an aside, I will add this too; people who put their trust in DeMoCracy (Demon-ocracy) are really just as conned and brainwashed as the victims of DMC cults - the technical term for this condition is cognitive dissonance. I call it the Pig's Swill Syndrome, for modern humanity sits in front of their TV screens, every day like pigs at their troughs, slurping the propaganda and lies into their minds as fast as the bent and corrupt media hacks can dish their crap up. How do you know that, I here you say? Quite easy, because Satan is the god of this world and the arch-deceiver - the prince of the power of the air (waves), and DeMoCracy (Demon-ocracy) is a major control tool (via the bent media) of this world (age) - Satan's world (age). To prove that it is his world/system, we even go fighting and killing people in foreign lands in order to illegally foist this evil corrupt system upon them. Our so called Demon-cratic leaders do this by killing our own people at home in so called Islamic inspired terror attacks. They do this in order to make out that these Islamic foreign nations are our enemies. It's all based on fear, folks - fear is their number one control weapon. It was all based on mind controlling fear in WCG and it's all based on mind controlling fear, generally, in our societies through the bought and corrupt media puppets of your DeMon-Cratically pre-selected governments. So, the next time you see a headline or hear a news report based upon fear or it's something that makes you feel fearful, you then know it's a propaganda lie. As I write, their latest fear trick is 'swine flu' and like 'bird flu' it's all humbug; purposely designed to keep the people in a permanent state of fear. I will be writing an article soon on Islam and how the PTB (Powers That Be - the Canaanite Banksters) are using Islam and the Islamic people as whipping boys and/or scapegoats/tools in their plans to march towards their New World Order; One World Bank; One World Religion and, ultimately, their One World Government.

Please excuse me, for I've gone off at a sharp tangent above, but a very necessary tangent in order for you to understand what is going on in our evil 21st century world and to realise that HWA was only a tiny cog in a very large demonic machine. Furthermore, do yourselves a favour, turn off the brainwashing screen in your living rooms and start to open your eyes and SEE!! (I have now kicked TV out my house altogether, and a far more peaceful place it is, too, because of it.)
OK, returning to the thread; so after having worked through the healing process, I then had the problem of the questions - WHY? What was it all about? How did this evil thing happen to me and to my fellow Worldwiders? Why did The Father and/or the Lord Jesus Christ allow this to happen to us? Most of us who have survived intact since leaving WCG (for I will tell you straight, more than a few dear souls committed suicide, such was their fear filled, unbalanced, state of mind) will probably state quite clearly that when we were baptised we committed ourselves totally to the Lord Jesus Christ and because WCG was 'The True Church' we felt we had 'come home'. Now this beggars the question; how did Armstrong manage to make it feel like 'home'? Easy; preach and teach The Truth; but hang on - wait a minute; Armstrong was an evil liar wasn't he; a con man and a charlatan - a snake oil salesman? Yes, precisely, but in order to be convincing and sound as if he was the real deal, he had to know some of The Truth or even a lot of The Truth, especially regarding the origins of the True Church, in order to fool us suckers. If Armstrong's teaching had been a pack of lies from start to finish or even anything remotely like mainstream Christianity, he would not have attracted any following at all. We need to understand this crucial point; most of us in WCG came out of mainstream Christianity anyway. We had been failed miserably by them in the past, so we already knew that the Cainite-Judeo-Christian Religion was a meaningless system of religious mumbo jumbo based upon Satan's substanceless vain traditions of men - a complete counterfeit with its origins from Cain/Babel/Babylon/Rome.
Now here is another irony; the fact that mainstream Christianity does teach a pack of lies and does have billions of deluded adherents and followers, what does this tell us? Quite simply, it tells us that HWA did not have a monopoly in the DMC cult system. Man, generally, loves to be conned and controlled; he loves to be lied to, so he naturally believes in lies and has done so ever since the Garden of Eden. Moreover, Rome has been operating this same Cainite-Judeo-Christian-Religious DMC system for nearly 2,000 years. All HWA did was copy their methods and use the Judeo-Mosaic Law instead of conjuring tricks - or now you see it - now you don't. In popish intellectual or theological circles they call it syllogistics. To you and me that means they make it up as they go, or, as it suits them and then call the figure head infallible. You see it's easy to win the game when you own the ball and the referee and make all the rules up as the match is being played.
Matt 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Back to HWA; now in this article I am not going to get into Armstrong's alleged crimes or his evil conduct and sins, as they are more than well documented elsewhere on the worldwide web. There are numerous websites out there which I would avoid like the plague, if I were you, or if you value your Spiritual welfare. Let's face it, one can only call HWA nasty names once, or maybe twice if you feel the need to get it off your chest. After that it all becomes a pointless exercise, counter productive, and harms the name caller and no one else and especially not HWA as he is dead in his grave and can't hear us anyway. What you will find, though, on some of these web pages, is this anger and bitterness toward HWA spilling over and then turned against the Lord Jesus Christ and The Father with a cynical and mocking attitude towards The Word of God. This, for me, is far more serious and distressing to witness, as these people blame God more than they blame Armstrong. I also find this very strange, but one thing these people never do is take any responsibility for their own part in being deceived by this con man and ravening wolf. OK, I know it's hard to admit to the fact that you've been had and conned, but there we are - stuff happens, as they say these days. In the world (the system or matrix; call it what you will), millions of people are being ripped off by con artists every day, and no more so than by their own democratically (Demon-cratically) voted for governments, and all the while, as this world spirals out of control into Satan's abyss.
So what was all this Truth that HWA had? Simple, he had most of it except for one monumental chasm - a black hole of satanic evil - a total pit of darkness - which was, NO GRACE. His organisation was Graceless and he was Graceless and his spiritual thugs who had the nerve to call themselves ministers were Graceless too. Grace was a completely foreign concept to these WCG Galatianist mongrel dogs. From another perspective The Mosaic Law reigned supreme within HWA's mind and thereby within his organisation. In Truth I cannot emphasise this issue strongly enough. Armstrong and his henchmen or minders (ministers) were a bunch of modern day lying Pharisees - law keepers, 'i' dotters; 't' crossers and gnat strainers. Armstrong was nothing but a Judaiser in, subtle or not so subtle, sheep's clothing - a Galatianist and a monotheist. (Please read the book of Galatians and please read my articles entitled: "Ogre gods", for you can't afford to miss them - you need to know about them, 'cos they're preached everywhere!!). More recently, I have written a series of articles entitled: "Is God One? Exposing the Lies of the Judeo-Christian Religion Or Judaism by Another Name - Parts 1 - 4" which reveal how the evil tentacles of Monotheism/Judaism or Mosaic Law Keeping have contaminated mainstream Christianity and in doing so have killed Grace.
OK, so now we know what he got wrong, but what did he get right? If we are strict with him - not much, because he plagiarised most of everything he taught, from British Israel to Christian Universalism and never once giving credit to any of his sources, even the equally evil cults of the SDA's, JW's and LDS's. Now are the two groups I've mentioned i.e. British Israel and Christian Universalism, of The Truth? Yes of course they are. How can they be The Truth? Easy, because those who believe in Ogre gods disagree with these two groups and this teaching. The ogre god brigades come in two categories. One category, The Trinity ogre god or a god with three eyes teaches hell fire torment and damnation for all eternity for the lost and believes that Rome is the original church (chuckle, chuckle). The other category; the ogre god with one eye, otherwise known as monotheism, teach that Jesus Christ the Saviour doesn't exist at all (Unitarians, Judaisers and Islamics). All very depressing, but that's religion and legalism for you, and when it came to legalism old Herbie was king of the heap. The dung heap that is!!
