I'm a former child survivor of the
WWCG and I'm still working through
the anger
1 of my childhood. I grew up in the "church" from 1974-1996 in
the state of Colorado. I am now 33 years old and I'm so happy to come
across this web site to see there are so many people out there like me.
I have the luxury to say that my whole family: Dad, Mom, sister and
brother have all come out of Armstrongism and that part of it is
wonderful. The sad part is that my parents don't seem to understand the
effects of what this evil empire had on there kids and feel we all need
to just "get over it" and move on. I pray for them daily to understand
the abuse of never being able to grow up a normal person as a child. I
live day to day trying not to think about the past and move forward. I
could go on and on with story after story of a life filled with
EVIL.
There are a few names of former ministers I would like to mention, and
to let you know I'm trying really hard to forgive these people, but it
wouldn't hurt my feelings to see them trip and fall into their beloved
Lake of Fire (a big pile of poo would work too).
#1 Jim Ryer: We, the people, didn't kill your wife with our sins;
cancer and your ignorance did.
#2 Ross Flynn: You said, "Everyone who has lied to me has died."
Well, Ross, I hate to break it to you, but I'm still here. (I wonder if
he is still the King of being "equally yoked.")
#3 Doug Horchak son- in-law of the big cheeser Joe Tkach Sr. This man
is so filled with Evil and manipulation that I could write a book on him
alone. I was one of many young adults kicked out by him on several
occasions for just standing up for people. He is definitely the hardest
to forgive.
I thank you for giving us a place to vent our frustrations of a robbed
childhood and hope by doing so no child will ever have to go through
what we did as children in the WWCG.
I now attend a small non denominational church in N.W. Montana with my
wife (also a child survivor) and our 5 year old son. I forgot to
mention my wife's mother is a member of a Global Church of God (UK)
splinter called Church of the Eternal God.
2 I haven't seen this one on
the site yet and feel people should know about it as well. We are
constantly praying for her.
As for ESN, continue to keep up the good work and I will pray for you
as well.
