I mentioned it not as an endorsement, but to bring attention to the fact that even those outside the church are noticing the trend I was discussing. Had it been from a muslim or an athiest, I'd have mentioned it in the same way.<BR/><BR/>If I did anything to give the impression of endorsement, I am sorry. That was not intended at all. I don't know all of the dogma of the Armstrongites, nor do I wish to, but I have seen and heard enough to know they are to be avoided at allTom S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02598404623048927550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626474613317320584.post-15741643304520085692008-03-28T08:22:00.000-07:002008-03-28T08:22:00.000-07:00I would not be endorsing ANYTHING that comes out o...I would not be endorsing ANYTHING that comes out of Gerald Flurry's mouth or from his magazines. This man has taken the heretical teachings of Herbert Armstrong and taken them to the extreme. His most recent edict was that all members of his church were to cut off all contact with any relatives or family members who are not part of his cult. Thus families have been torn apart, lives destroyed, and marriages broken. Children are not allowed to see elderly parents. Grandparents have been cut off from grandchildren. Marriages have been destroyed because one spouse does not agree with Flurry's nonsense. He demands triple tithing from his cult members and is not expecting them to help finance a new concert hall in the middle of Oklahoma on his 'college' campus that is dedicated to all things related to Herbert Armstrong. Be afraid, VERY afraid! I know, because I grew up in Armstrong's nonsense.NO2HWAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018654662518613623noreply@blogger.com
