I grew up in the church post dismantling— not in a splinter group but part of a group that attended services under GCI but still 100% followed Armstrong’s teachings. I don’t know others that have left since my church was SO small, so it’s nice to feel less alone!
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.

They are another anti-Christ religious group. And they cover up sexual sin on ch... more
This podcast is well-produced and fascinating. I highly recommend it!

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
