The
Worldwide Church of God's original and crafty plan to perpetuate their hidden
agendas and corruption was to change their doctrines. But these changes,
motivated by greed, needed years of slowness to allow the seeping of new ways to
soak into receptive, unthinking, brainwashed minds. The leaders accepted the
fact that certain "un-submissive" members would nevertheless leave and
go off into "nowhere land," and never open their mouths. They needn't
worry about them.
However, before the plan had come to fruition, a few other WCG
ministers fouled things up by "jumping the gun" in preaching the New
Covenant to their congregations. "How dare they try to usurp authority and
take away the credit due to the leaders for the inspired new truth!" [Read:
The Earl Williams Factor]
Part of the plan would have to include forming spin-off
groups. United Church of God-AIA and Global Church of God
[founded in 1992 by Rod Meredith; Meredith later founded Living Church of
God in1998] would do just fine for
catching the fallout of perhaps thousands. [Be sure and read:
Speaking of Global:
Re-invented the Wheel for more insight on this.] Ministers would agree to be
"disfellowshipped" and moved over to the new groups and then money
circumvented back to headquarters. And best of all, the sympathy of the outside
Evangelicals could be gained to further the leaders' sinister goals. "Look
how much we lost by speaking the truth of the Gospel!"
Changes came swiftly with guilt and abuse pressed on the
brethren, shaking and confusing them. [Transcript

sermon by Tkach Sr. January 1995 1] At the same time, propaganda of the new
"Armstrong churches of God" reached those that had presumed Tkach Sr. to be a
"liar," a "Laodicean," and an "agent of the
Devil." Now these members had somewhere to go!
Like an ugly, overripe pod, basking in the sunlight, the WCG
now stands whitened with credibility and praise. Yet inside the doors, wicked
leaders lie awake at night, ignoring the sighs of their prisoners, planning in
the dark their next deceptive, convoluted scheme. The Christian world, in the
meantime, leans comfortably back in their easy chairs, holding in their hands a
copy of Transformed by Truth,2 by Joseph Tkach Jr's ghostwriter. All seems
well. They nod their heads and fall asleep...and the evil continues to spread.

Note:
Religious cults are known to mutate; change their name, and go underground. Be sure and
read the OIU Newsletters on our site which looks behind the scenes at the real activities and associations
pertaining to the "transformation" of the WCG; shows how doctrine was
used as a massive propaganda tool.
Update: WCG moved their
headquarters to Glendora, California in Nov. 2004. They are
now considering a name change. Read:

1 Be aware that
ESN's transcript of this video on our site is different than
what WCG formerly had posted on their website, as they left out major statements
of blame made by Tkach Sr. The WCG removed their transcript of this video from their website after we made a notice of what they had done. This video has since
been
mysteriously "misplaced" from their church library.
