Authority-wise, McNair doesn't make an appeal to God or Jesus Christ, but to Herbert W. Armstrong:
* "My appointment to serve on the WCG Doctrinal Teams. Mr. H.W. Armstrong appointed me to serve under him over the Headquarters Doctrinal Team in 1974..."
* "My ordination as an Evangelist in the WCG. Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong ordained me as an Evangelistover 51 years ago."
* "Appointed Deputy Chancellor of Ambassador Colleges in England, and Pasadena, CA. In 1960, Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong appointed me Deputy Chancellor of Ambassador College, near London."
This is what happens with personality cults: Everything is boiled down to the "filter" or "mousetrap" of one single man who isn't Jesus Christ.
As per my email friend...no need to ping me to those threads...but thank you for thinking of me. Take care and God bless...
