The loss of just one life in a situation like that is heartbreaking, I can't imagine dealing with five. <br /><br />Feeling very blessed that my COG family has stayed away from and recognizes the PCG madness. Thank you, I needed that today.<br /><br />Glad to hear you have left, and we continue praying for those trapped in PCG as well as their family and friends.

I'm so sad seeing this and it hits to close. I have known more death and unhappiness in my many years in the PCG. I left a few yes ago. I hope J rests in peace. She was such a smart beautiful person. Her husband was so sweet and kind. This is now the 5 personal person I know from the PCG who has just died a death that could have been prevented.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5528158760608808912.post-21308147993402745382014-08-28T08:38:09.285-04:002014-08-28T08:38:09.285-04:00You certainly may.

It's John 9 and the story about the blind man Yahushua haMashiach healed that IMHO poignantly illustrates the toxic and destructive culture that exists within Armstrongist cults today, but also permeated Jewry during Yahusha's time. The religious leaders disfellowship the blind man whom Yahushua has healed (v. 34) and after hearing about this, like the Good Shepherd that He is, our Lord goes in search of him and upon finding him assures him of salvation through Him alone not through any other man or some institution (vv. 35-41). In fact, after watching an Australian documentary "Code of Silence" regarding Manny Waks's ordeal at the hands of Jewry after he alleged abuse as a youth and the isolation he and his father experienced from other family members and the wider Jewish community in his pursuit for justice it seems that this kind of bullying mentality is not limited to the ACOGs at all, but has been around for millennia.
