The Broadway to Armageddon by William PREFACE I thank my Father in Heaven for the opportunity of experiencing 14 years in the Worldwide Church of God and knowing Herbert W. Armstrong and Garner Ted Armstrong. I am thankful for the opportunity I have had of meeting and sharing experiences with a great number of the ministers of the Worldwide Church of God and with a great many of the almost 100 ministers that have left the organization in the last few years. I thank my Father in Heaven for calling me by his grace, showering upon me an abundance of these blessings years before I ever heard of Herbert W. Armstrong. I deeply repent and ask God to forgive me for my involvement in this legalistic, Pharisaical system that genders to bondage. I know that God's word says that all things work together for good to them that love God to them who are the called according to his purpose. Thank you, Father, for my calling years ago, even while still in high school, even before I got married. Thank you, deeply. In writing this book, in telling of my experiences and sharing with my Christian friends, I am doing it in love, not in a spirit of bitterness, not in a spirit of hatred, because I hate no man. I do not hate Herbert W. Armstrong. I do not hate Garner Ted Armstrong. My hate is for the system that I know that God in Heaven hates, looking down in absolute disgust, wishing that these men would repent and turn and change to exalting Jesus Christ, who is the Saviour of the world. That is the main purpose of my book. It is not to crucify Garner Ted or Herbert W. Armstrong or anyone else in the Armstrong organization. People need to know that Christ died on the cross, it's faith in the death and burial and the resurrection of Christ and repentance toward the same which is a gift from God that is going to count in the final analysis. So I'm calling on Herbert Armstrong, Garner Ted Armstrong, the Worldwide Church of God, Stan Rader, Robert Kuhn and all of those that have been involved in enslaving the minds, the bodies of the people of God. Repent and turn to Jesus Christ, exalt Him, take the monies that you have been spending on yourselves and spend it in the service of humanity fulfilling the needs of suffering humanity. Stop exploiting the people. Stop deceiving the people. Stop misleading the people. Stop lying to people. The people of God are crying out. Their cries are being heard. Let my people go. 8 TABLE OF CONTENTS How I God Involved ............................................................................10 The Armstrong Cult .............................................................................27 (The Plain Truth) The Armstrong Trip .............................................................................32 (BY A Former Member) Don't Be Ensnared ...............................................................................49 (Former Members Letters) Ministers Leave the Armstrongs-Why? ..............................................78 Herbert W.

Dear Friend, Thank you for the opportunity of speaking to you through the words of this book. If you are a member of the Worldwide Church of God, I love you, my heart goes out for you and my prayers will be going up to our God for you that God will miraculously deliver you from this bondage. If you are not a member of the Worldwide Church of God, if you have never been a member of the Worldwide Church of God, I can speak with authority, yet with love and humility. All you need is Jesus Christ. All you need is to know your Saviour and mine, Jesus Christ. God's people all over the world are crying out against the cults. The time is for Christians everywhere to speak up and to be heard. I was reared in a small town 70 miles Southwest of Nashville- Hohenwald, Tennessee. I didn't realize that I would be writing a book to expose an organization headed by men named Herbert W. Armstrong and his son named Garner Ted Armstrong that actually started the year I was born, but there are thousands of people throughout this world that have been mistreated by the Armstrongs that are crying out. The Armstrongs don't realize this yet, but God is hearing His people, God's people that have been hurt by Armstrongism are crying out to him. Read James 5. The Armstrongs are in trouble. Herbert W. Armstrong has destroyed more lives than anyone I know in the name of religion in such a short period of time. The Armstrong work is a work of darkness and Christians are called upon to reveal the work of darkness. They have defrauded people and need to be tried in the highest court of this world. I wish I could go back in time to recapture what I have lost (and I know God will help me overcome) but it would have been ten thousand times better if many things had not happened. Man meant it for evil, but God meant it for good. 10 I know the greatest opportunity for man and woman in this life is to come together as God ordained and love one another and plan for children to have and to love. I thank my loving, kind and just Heavenly Father that he gave me that precious privilege. Marge and I were married March 1, 1952. We attended the same high school, played ball for the same school and enjoyed the good things all children should have the opportunity of enjoying. Thank God our parents taught us the basic principles of respect for God and respect for our neighbors. Little did we know this was great because upon these two principles rests the total structure of building or I might say the spiritual house or foundation we must build upon or build to live in with the foundation being Jesus Christ. I thank God we were too young to be ensnared by someone like Herbert W. Armstrong. I was still in diapers and sitting in my Mother's lap eating cold biscuits with plenty of hog lard between them, but that is all we had. Little did we know that a man named Herbert W. Armstrong with the ego of a giant, the common sense of a gnat, and the poison of an adder was being prepared by the devil himself to emerge from the depths of a depression into a country destined to become great and a state that has contributed in many ways to our great country. This man, Herbert W, Armstrong, about 5'6" tall, with a ton of ego and a mind that could be bent and twisted by the Prince of this world (Ephesians 2:2). This man began to plot, to plan with amazing determination to deceive many and has done a superb job. Little did I know that I would grow up in a small community enjoying the company of my Dad and Mother, 2 brothers and 7 sisters, grandparents, neighbors and friends, watching people going to different Churches with different beliefs and at the same time practicing the great 2 commandments which results in helping one another while they were living and willing to roll up their sleeves and dig a hole and bury their dead with respect and dignity. Many things happened in 1934. I was born. This was not a great moment in history, probably not even to my parents in the middle of a depression and one of what was to be a family of 10 children, but thank God we made it and the family was not broken until this last New Year's day of 1976, my brother was killed in a car wreck. We are a real close family, we love one another deeply. We don't always agree but we help when we can and when we are needed. During this same year, 1934, there was a man, Herbert W. Armstrong, beginning a work that would affect many lives. Little did I know this man and his work would have a tremendous effect 11 11 on my life in the future. My wife and I got married, as I stated, in March of 1952. After 4 years of marriage, God gave us a son. We named our son Randy. Little did we know we would be privileged to have the opportunity of caring for a child that really needed us. Because of complications at birth, our son was injured, results being a cp child. We accepted this because we knew God would provide for our needs. Randy truly was strength to us, just as I mentioned in the beginning. I am of the opinion the greatest privilege we have as man and woman is to come together in love and reproduce after our kind. God had granted us that priceless privilege. Little did we know that Herbert W. Armstrong and his teachings would so ensnare us that it would not only tear us away from our families and friends, and separate us from our son, but worst of all from Jesus Christ. We were privileged to take care of our son and we knew we needed help. So we turned to God in our way and we know God helped us.

MAN EVER SPOKE likethis man," reported their officers to the Pharisees regarding Jesus. The multitudes "were astonished at His doctrine." Today the same living Christ, through The WORLD TOMOR- ROW broadcast, The PLAIN TRUTH magazine, and THIS WORK, proclaims in mighty power around the world His SAME GOSPEL the same Gospel preached by Peter, Paul, and the original Apostles. Twenty-two million people hear this dynamic Message every week, on every inhabited continent of the earth. And today, just as 1900 years ago, multitudes are ASTONISHED at His doctrine, and say: "No man ever spoke like this!" It is as shockingly different today as it was then. WHY should that be? Every week thousands hear this astonishing Message for the first time. And so itis natural that many begin to ask: "WHO IS THIS? Who isbehind this Work? Who sponsors it? HOW can such a powerful program go out over the air world-wide, without ever making an appeal for public financial support? WHY do they never beg for contributions? HOW can they publish such an attrac- tive,interesting news magazine and never charge asubscription price or accept any advertising?" One man said, incredulously, "It's a mystery to me-I simply can't understand it! Nobody ever did anything like it before-and yet this Work keeps growing and multiplying in power and scope."

  • The Worldwide Church of God: Resurrected Into Orthodoxy
    STATEMENT DW070 The Worldwide Church of God: Resurrected into Orthodoxy Herbert W. Armstrong died in 1986 at the patriarchal age of 93, and his Worldwide Church of God has been burying portions of his theology ever since. During this decade-long funeral, the WCG itself has experienced an institutional suffering and dying, losing 130 or more of its 450 ministers and seeing at least 30,000 members scatter into 25 splinter churches or out of church life entirely. WCG leaders have chosen this path of suffering resulting from years of what they describe as the persistent leading of the Holy Spirit. The Worldwide Church of God is one of the few church bodies with a corporate sense that those who die to themselves will rise to new spiritual life. The death of certain WCG doctrines has led to the denomination’s resurrection into orthodoxy. A Brief History. Reared as a Quaker, Armstrong joined the Oregon Conference of the Church of God in the late 1920s and by 1931 was ordained as one of its ministers. Armstrong founded the Radio Church of God in 1934, broadcasting his prophecy -oriented “The World Tomorrow” program from Eugene, Oregon. He began publishing The Plain Truth as a mimeographed newsletter. That magazine’s title (unlike the evangelical content that now appears within its full-color pages) is one of the few icons of Armstrong left unchanged by the sweeping reforms of recent years. After World War II Armstrong moved his headquarters to Pasadena, California, and the denomination has been a prestigious, if controversial, civic institution ever since.

  • 15 Accusations and Truthful Responses About Herbert W
    15 Accusations and Truthful Responses about Herbert W. Armstrong By COGwriter Original version was published as " Consider candid responses to 15 accustations about HWA " in The Journal: News of the Churches of God, February 28, 2003, pp. 6-7. A few small updates have been included in the on-line version--mainly to address specific issues raised on-line. Since first learning about the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) more than 30 years ago, I have heard many false accusations against the WCG and its leadership. This article, however, dwells only on the accusations I have personally heard against church founder Herbert W. Armstrong (HWA). Although it is not likely this article will persuade anyone who has made up his mind that he/she doesn't like HWA, I hope those who are interested in the truth will realize that he has often been unfairly accused. One problem with doing this research is that HWA grew up during a time when one was taught not to dignify false accusations with an answer. Thus he almost never denied the many attacks against him personally. Another problem is that since he is dead (he died in January 1986) I cannot ask him about any of these matters. It has been said that it is impossible to prove a negative. So about the only way this writer knows how to try to do that concerning someone who is dead is list the accusations, review whatever facts are available, consult with some who were around HWA for decades, attempt to contact witnesses, and include that information in this article.
