I can see and hear all the members since the very beginning. "We're all joined together in belief and unity around the world." "We're not a cult! We're the Worldwide Church of God people!" "Those happy people! God's people!" "We have a purpose, a goal! Our mission is to help spread the good news to every nation about the soon coming of Christ and the setting up of His Kingdom! His Kingdom to bring peace and joy to every person on earth!" "Oh, how we love His laws and His way!" "We are His true Church! A light shining out in a dark world!" "We have found His truths that will eventually bring peace, happiness, joy and prosperity to us and eventually to the whole world!"

The early Feasts and Holy Days were such happy times! There was so much love and joy! Inspiring times spent in worshipping our great God who loved us so much and feeling so close to Him! Blissful communing with one another! Miracles and answered prayers to be shared! Strength in time of trials!

But what if each of these people could know the real truth? That they were all a part of lies and were deluded into thinking that they were part of God's plan? What if each of them could know in their mind the real stark naked truth about the "true" Church of God? I can hear all the cries of helpless agony and anger now from those that have discovered the truth. Loving, kind, good people that only wanted to serve God will all their hearts and souls. People who put Him first in their lives. People who patiently underwent many trials and endured...and endured...and endured. People who would have sacrificed anything for God's ways. People who felt close to their God. A big cruel joke! Betrayed by men who were not men of God. Beaten and left bleeding along the road of life.
