We who have experienced the damage inflicted by authoritarian OC tyrants are not willing to simply allow the next generation of wannabe’s a free reign. That would fit the category of the hollow, “Be ye warmed and filled.”(James 2:16) <BR/>This is not necessarily a matter of anger. For some it is, but like a grieving process, it needs to be completed. Many have suffered irretrievable loss, and bottling up the natural emotional response is really pathological. And the honest venting through telling of personal experience stands as a warning. If anyone has any wisdom, they will learn by these experiences of others. Check out another pertinent perspective on this issue; <A HREF="http://lifeafterwcg2.wordpress.com/2008/05/26/why-i-support-the-blog-survivor-of-armstrongism/" REL="nofollow">Why I Support the blog, Survivor of Armstrongism</A><BR/>Jesus was not silent concerning the wolves; I can see no reason why we should be. I wish that someone could have shown me the errors of Armstrongism early on, and saved me some serious damage ( of which I will post more on later); but the one’s trying to show me the errors were themselves too inexperienced to present a sound argument, which, incidentally is what the “teachers of the law count on.”<BR/> Matt23:13"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. <BR/>15"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.Glen Ericksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06505160222770033569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5528158760608808912.post-91458596359672142772008-05-26T12:57:00.000-04:002008-05-26T12:57:00.000-04:00I have been blog jumping the past few months readi...I have been blog jumping the past few months reading what everyone has to say on Weinland; I haven't posted any comments until now.<BR/><BR/>I think you hit it on the dot when comparing Weinland to Christ. Jesus represents everything we should strive to be and it is clear that Ronald is not on the same pathway. I understand how some can get angry with Ron's teachings, but if we continue to "bash" him we are not holding up to our standards of christianity. <BR/><BR/>This is the reason for my post... because your focus on reaching his followers should be our main goal.<BR/><BR/>CheersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5528158760608808912.post-48978113711169717202008-05-26T09:47:00.000-04:002008-05-26T09:47:00.000-04:00"The first four trumpet blasts will announce four ..."The first four trumpet blasts will announce four powerfully destructive events that will bring about <STRONG>the total collapse of the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia,New Zealand, and some countries of Western Europe</STRONG>.
