“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...”Read full review »

“Money from the third tithe was used in the worldwide church of God for the widows and orphans BUT the widow had to PAY IT BACK! So that made the third tithe stolen funds from the church members who was treated like trained dogs. We weren’t even allowed to ask a question we was told if you...”Read full review »

“Listened to whole podcast in one day.
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”

“I was raised in WWCG from birth until it’s dismantling (about 11-12 years). I became a born again Christian several years after getting out. I appreciate this podcast because it gave me insight into other peoples perspectives and experiences. My memories aren’t terrible. I was blessed with...”Read full review »

“There are a couple positives about my time in the “church”. My family made some lifetime friends friends with other families. Our podcast host’s family is one. Our mothers were good friends.
Hmmm.. I can’t think of another right now!”

“As someone who grew up in the splinter group “United Church of God” or UCG I feel they haven’t done a good enough job at explaining the differences. I can’t speak for when it was Worldwide but I can say that in United I never thought that Herbert Armstrong was any kind of prophet. I had never...”Read full review »

“I was a third generation church member born into this church in 1979. My mom was married to my dad (who was NOT a member).
