    So surprisingly great to hear lingo I’ve only heard from occasional conversations with family or from myself futilely attempting to explain my background haha

    Also very surprising to hear so many similar thoughts and conclusions that I’ve come to recently about my own wcg experience and so very helpful. Thank you. Brilliant idea to share so many different perspectives instead of the typical “cult pods” that I’ve listened to.

  • For EP 1.6

    Money from the third tithe was used in the worldwide church of God for the widows and orphans BUT the widow had to PAY IT BACK!

They are another anti-Christ religious group. And they cover up sexual sin on ch... more

    Listened to whole podcast in one day.

    Fascinating how false prophets are easily leading massive multitude of people into all aspects of their lives.

    There is a special place for Armstrong, Joseph Smith, Charles Russell and many others on judgement day

    I was raised in WWCG from birth until it’s dismantling (about 11-12 years). I became a born again Christian several years after getting out. I appreciate this podcast because it gave me insight into other peoples perspectives and experiences. My memories aren’t terrible. I was blessed with amazing parents, in particular a dad who was often the “rebel” of the church, asking questions and holding secret Bible studies, which led to him being disciplined several times. My parents met and were marrie... more
