"Mr. Herbert Armstrong always said"Don't believe ME , believe the Holy Bible" He never held a gun or whip to anybody in WorldWide Church of God. Anybody could leave anytime. Some did, and there was never an empty seat. The fact that thousands decided to leave, during the many decades, for whatever reasons, shows that there was NO kind of "control" over anybody."
You must have always asked the right questions and never got out of line. The "Don't believe Me, believe the Holy Bible" was the sales pitch. The list is extremely long where the doctrine is anti-Bible. What was the guy's name that hitched himself to the "Church" wagon, the one that always wore sunglasses? Have they set a new date to flee?
What are you really trying to say?
