  • The Worldwide Church of God
    The Worldwide Church of God: A study of its transformation in terms of K. Helmut Reich’s theory of Relational and Contextual Reasoning. Johannes Lothar Felix Buchner MA Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Psychology) University of Western Sydney, Australia March 2006. Certificate of Originality I certify that this thesis is entirely my own work, and that sources have been duly acknowledged, and that inclusive language has been used wherever possible, and that this thesis has not been submitted for a higher degree at any other institution. ______________________________ Johannes L.F. Buchner 23 March 2005. Amended version submitted following examination. ___________________ Johannes L.F. Buchner 27 February 2006. ii Acknowledgments and Dedication Sincere gratitude is expressed for the considerable assistance and support provided by Dr Maureen Miner, of the School of Psychology, University of Western Sydney, my principal supervisor, who gave so much of her time and expertise, as well as her genuine friendship. Maureen’s high academic standards, especially in the Psychology of Religion, enabled me to succeed in this project. I also thank Professor Jim McKnight and Dr Agnes Petocz for their valuable assistance at various stages of this thesis. The generous assistance and mentoring of Dr. K. Helmut Reich, lately of the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, whose valuable theoretical contributions are explored in this thesis, and whose vision for the resolution of cognitive conflict and harmony between worldviews is greatly admired, was very much appreciated. A true polymath, Dr. Reich’s profound insights have given us a wealth of important lessons. I have sought to understand and apply Helmut’s theory fairly and honestly out of respect for academic integrity and our friendship.

  • OIU Newsletters
    Outsider's Inside Update™ Newsletters of Understanding "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." ~Ephesians 5:11 Within two years the Worldwide Church of God (founded by Herbert W. Armstrong) divided its multi-million dollar corporate empire, leaving a myriad of splinter groups and walking wounded in its wake. What caused this highly publicized, destructive group to divide and conquer certain counter-cult apologists? Why have they joined with the ecumenical movement? There are reasons behind the events. Doctrine has been exploited as a massive propaganda tool by the WCG (GCI), which in turn provides gross distraction to what is actually occurring within the organization and has been used as a way to elicit control and obtain specific behavior from spiritually minded individuals that have paid extreme amounts of money into the organization. The OIUs look behind the scenes at the real activities and associations pertaining to the "transformation" of the WCG and their New Age agenda. OIU Newsletters™ FIVE and SIX are detailed reports surrounding the Ecumenical Movement (EC) and the current EC strategy involving the Worldwide Church of God conglomerate. Those interested in researching the "reasons behind the events" and activities of the Worldwide Church of God and its extension groups; i. e., United Church of God, Global Church of God (today the Living Church of God), Philadelphia Church of God, Restored Church of God and other splinters, will find these two Volumes helpful, thought-inspiring and possibly shocking. These OIUs were written by ESN founder, L. A. Stuhlman and originally snail-mailed to those who requested them.

  • Faith Dealers
    Faith Dealers By Kevin S. The information and opinions expressed are based on evidence obtained from credible internet sources. The goal is to expose an elitist minority who work tirelessly to control hearts, minds, and souls. My decision to compile this research was inspired by Miles’ recent paper entitled Steve Martin: A Wild and Crazy… Genealogy. I was particularly struck by Miles’ assertion that “Jewish interests infiltrated American Christianity, planting many agents, and making it look ridiculous on purpose…In fact, this infiltration of Christianity has simply been a part of the old Theosophy project. While they were importing and bastardizing foreign religions in order to compete with Christianity, they were at the same time infiltrating Christianity and blowing it up from the inside”. I then recalled that Steve Martin had once starred in a film called Leap of Faith in the early ‘90s about a “fake faith healer”. Martin’s co-star in the movie was Jewish actress Debra Winger, and the film’s director was Richard Pearce who has no parents listed on Wikipedia or IMDB, but he’s married to a woman named Lynzee Klingman. Pearce attended Yale University where he was a member of the Scroll and Key Society. So, we’re off and running. My next order of business was to take a closer look at Steve Martin’s former romantic interest and performing partner Stormie Omartian who became a seller of Christian books. Once again from Miles’ paper, “This is a problem since she was born Stormie Sherk, which is a Jewish name. See Scherk Cosmetics.

The sun, which had shone with a dazzling brightness only two days before on the Tournament of Roses parade along the same thoroughfare, had disappeared. In its place had come a brooding grayness, chilling and ominous. On New Year's Day, there had been lightness and a heart delighting beauty when the ingenious floral displays, followed by the football game in the Rose Bowl near the western end of this California town, had riveted the nation's attention. Now, just forty-eight hours later, the sixty-one floats were jammed together like abandoned automobiles in Victory Park, a few square blocks of greenery where the three-hour parade had ended.
