Finally Quit PCG:

January 10, 2002

I have attended the PCG for 9 years with my husband and other family members. My husband and I grew up in the WCG and when the WCG changes started, my husband was sure that the WCG was Laodicean. The WCG was telling so many lies, when Malachi's Message came around it seemed to make sense. I had my doubts, but my husband joined and made my life difficult until I attended as well. The last few years, Gerald Flurry has been claiming so many biblical titles and now he claims to be "That Prophet." I just couldn't see it. The ministers make up rules just for the sake of making up rules and you are not allowed to question anything. The sermons are confusing and extremely boring; all they care about is building their college and controlling the members. I have wanted to quit for years, but just couldn't work up the nerve to tell my husband. Last Saturday I finally told him how I felt and to my surprise he was as miserable going to church as I was - we quit the next day. My husband still believes that HWA was the end-time Elijah, but at least we are out of the PCG.

Thank you for your help. --Former PCG member

Flurry Telling His Members to Stay Off the Internet!

January 22, 2002

I was told that Flurry is now telling his members to "stay off the internet!" I think he's afraid that they might read something on your pages. Keep up the good work. --Former member

Comment: It might be tempting for some PCG members to get on the internet just because they were told not to. 

Latest Royal Vision Says "Almost No Rules" in PCG:

February 16, 2002

Hello! We just got our Jan/Feb 2002 Royal Vision recently. The "Greetings Brethren and Co-Workers" letter on page 1 has some very misleading and flat out lies in it. Gerald Flurry's quotes throughout. My comments are in color.

1st paragraph, 3rd sentence Quote: "Apart from God's word, we make almost no rules for baptized members." (What? There's nothing but rules and regulations!)

3rd paragraph Quote: "Occasionally members, and even ministers, will try to get us to make and enforce specific rules to help control extreme behavior of those who are baptized. If we did so, God's church would soon have a "talmud" of do's and don'ts, in addition to the Bible. (Excuse me, but there is a "talmud" of do's and don'ts in PCG--dating rules, skirt lengths, hair lengths, makeup, jewelry, dating, etc., to name a few.)

7th paragraph Quote: "One evangelist in the Worldwide Church of God kept trying to get the late Herbert W. Armstrong to make specific rules about skirt and hair lengths in inches. But no such rules were ever made." (This is absolutely not true! When I was 12 or 13, I distinctly remember my mom having to re-hem all my dresses and skirts to be a "certain length" because of "the church." [Read: Women's Dress Ruling by Herbert W. Armstrong.]

8th paragraph Quote: "Such detailed rules--apart from God's word--would begin to put us in bondage." (People are in bondage in PCG!)

10th paragraph Quote: "We must understand why Satan's slavery is evil and hate it vehemently. We must also know why God's liberty is so inspiringly precious and love it passionately--with deeds to support our words." (Those in PCG do not know a thing about God's liberty, or His love, for that matter.)

15th paragraph Quote: "Today we have ministers of the Spirit. Our members and ministers must be careful not to descend into the letter of the law." (This is double-talk; PCG does descend into the letter of the law.)

I could have quoted more, but those statements bothered me the most.

Your website is fantastic! There are a lot of very revealing stories and letters about the cult life. People need to know where they're coming from! It's hard to admit it.

Hard to Accept That I Was Duped and Deceived:

April 1, 2002

I would like to be placed on your list of those who would like to help others get out of the PCG and recover from it. I was in the PCG for 8 years myself. I left in March of 2001. I am still recovering myself. It's hard to accept the fact that I was duped and deceived for so long, and that I threw 14 years of my life away. (I was in the WCG for 6 years). When I consider how much money I gave to those liars and criminals who twisted and distorted the tithing laws, I almost get ill. With all of the money I gave--over 14 years to those frauds, I could have paid for 2 or 3 college educations at very fine institutions, or I could have given that money to organizations that really do help people.

I truly feel sorry for the lying ministers in the PCG. There is one main law that they need to be aware of, and that is "what goes around comes around." They call it "reaping what you sow." There is justice for all, even though it takes time to be delivered. They can go on destroying families, friendships, and the finances of hard working people for now and think they're getting away with it, but "time marches on" and their day is coming.

I believe power trips are unfulfilling and always lead to disappointment. Herbert Armstrong died a pathetic, lonely, and miserable man. He was unhappy virtually all of his life. The fruits bear that out. He led a life of the flesh and passed himself off as a man of God. He knew he was a fake and criminal, but  never, never owned up to his crimes.

Hoping that all in the PCG will wake up. --Formerly in PCG

Website is Saving Minds:

Thank you for your kind email. ... You guys are doing a great job with that website!! Thank you for your work. You are probably saving more minds than you realize. Bless you all!!

Didn't Take Me Long to Catch on to Flurry:

April 5, 2002

I'm getting a kick reading your stuff about Gerald Flurry. I was convinced he was right and joined PCG. But I felt uneasy, especially when reading his articles touting himself as "the only one" teaching the truth. I told the deacon's wife that I was having doubts, hoping to be reassured and encouraged. Instead I got blasted about reading "dissident literature." Reading "dissident literature" was how I found PCG in the first place. So I looked around a little more and found The Church of God, founded by Donald Tiger and former members of PCG, which is mild, small and laid back, and was baptized Feb. 4 without any reading requirements. Now I read Flurry is saying he is "That Prophet"! What prophet? I can't find anything telling us to watch for another prophet. Neither can Flurry. He cites Scripture but has to explain and explain to make it clear to us dummies. Something is wrong there. Now I have received a 4 page letter reminding me my "support" is needed and the urgency of the "work." We're in the "last hour" but Flurry is worrying about his building fund. The field house is done but duplexes have to be built for students and faculty. I believe some private homes will be built, paid for by the owners. It didn't take me long to catch on, I am a skeptic anyway. I do think God opened my eyes and pushed me to look further. I really don't want to be in a group anyway. I can learn what I need by myself, alone. I don't need a bunch of people now. I understand about fellowshipping, but who wants to fellowship with people who are easily led and weak minded? Good site! Thanks. --Former PCG member

PCG Husband Guilty of Abuse:

April 7, 2002

My husband is a member of the PCG and now goes on overnight trips with the church.. He was not when we dated and married, but has sunk deeper and deeper into the cult since the death of our son in July of 2000. Now he is just lost. I don't know how else to describe it. He was such a kind, gentle, thoughtful man before becoming involved with the PCG. Now he does not look the same, his eyes are very "glassy" looking. One of the social workers involved in our home said it looked like he was taking drugs, but I know it was just the church. He is that far gone. 

He has been found guilty of abuse and neglect of our daughter by our local DSS agency, and I have had a restraining order out on him. Recently, he took our daughter to "church" with him, which is something we always agreed neither one of us would do. Prior to having children, we discussed that we came from different religious backgrounds, and that we would raise our children as "free thinkers," to let them chose their own religion. We agreed to never take them to our different churches, at least not without a lot of discussion. I will be filing for divorce within the month. I am just hoping he does not become more violent when he is served with divorce papers. I hate all of this, but I know no other way. I asked him at last year's FOT, to chose between going away with the PCG, and staying with his family. He did not choose us.

My question is this: can you steer me to any tangible information about the effects of the PCG on children? Also, I heard there are websites that list the "do's and don'ts" of the PCG, but I have been unable to find any. Can you direct me to any? 

Thank you for your time and guidance. Please know that it is appreciated. --Concerned

Reply: The effects are basically the same as what WCG did to children. Go to our section, Children Raised in Worldwide Church of God, Philadelphia Church of God & Other Offshoots to find many articles and writings from child survivors. It is very important that children are not taken to PCG services, as this will have a very damaging effect on them, especially programming them with a fear of God and of the future, giving them nightmares, destroying their self-confidence, and eventually causing trauma.   

PCG Teaches Bizarre Things:

April 24, 2002

I wish to congratulate you for your website. I work with a member of the PCG. I have myself only been born again for ten months. In that time I have listened to my workmate say some bizarre things that just seemed so out of line with my understanding of the Bible. Things like "having a second chance at salvation after death," and "becoming a God after you die." Those things just didn't feel right to me. This website has explained a LOT of the untruths the PCG teach, and has helped me to see the false doctrines PCG members believe. I hope to one day have enough knowledge of the truth to be able to respond to errors in his doctrine, but at the moment I get caught out with some of the things he says and am unable to rebut his comments.

Keep up the good work,
God Bless, --Anonymous

PCG's Cruel Treatment of Members:

May 6, 2002

Dear fellow servant of Christ, hi. I've been reading about the PCG and it's abuse on fellow brethren. I was disfellowshipped in November of 2001, two weeks before my husband, also a former member, died. The reason was because I was absent from church services too often due to my husband's terminal illness. You see my husband had Aids. We were members of the PCG for 5 years and in all 5 years my beautiful husband was never allowed to attend church services because Gerald Flurry had him on quarantine due to his aids. My husband suffered a lot because of this law of Flurry. When we would ask for Bible proof of this law we were rebuked. Then finally when my husband got really sick unto death I called a fellow PCG member to ask for financial aid in order to cremate my husband (a member). I was reported to the ministry. Then I got the very hurtful (to this day) phone call that I was disfellowshipped. This not only hurt me, but for years watching my husband cry while so sick because some minister wouldn't come and lay hands on him and pray for him to be healed; instead, he got shunned for asking. Well as I told you before, my sweetheart died and I didn't even get a sympathy call from them. Now I'm not attending any church. Although I have visited two and will visit others, I won't ever become a member of any. I refuse to let any man take Christ away from me. It has been He and He alone who has comforted me. 

Our eldest son now doesn't want to have anything to do with God, because of all that he has witnessed. He is angry even at God. Please pray for him. Many times I also feel bitter inside; however I know that God wants me to forgive, as hard as that is. It is easier to forgive someone in the world who does you dirty than one who is supposed to be a Christian leader. The reason I write this is not to use my tongue to hurt the PCG, but in hopes that maybe someone, somewhere who reads this might write me back and help me be more forgiving, so that I can move on, and that all who wish to know the policy of PCG concerning Aids and membership can know. Maybe one day the discrimination will end, maybe. Thanks for listening

Love, --Former member of PCG

Husband in PCG Can't Think For Himself:

May 22, 2002

To Whom It May Concern,

I was introduced to the PCG about seven years ago by my now husband; it has been a struggle ever since. At the time we were just dating and it really wasn't a problem until we became serious and wanted to get married. My husband had been in the WCG until about eight years ago when he and his family joined the PCG. I was raised as a Seventh-day Adventist and though they do have some strange beliefs it was nothing like the PCG. I have put up with going there for three years and I told my husband yesterday I would not be attending services with him anymore; I just cannot put up with it anymore. But I'm so scared for my husband because he is so brainwashed. He cannot think for himself; he tells me he doesn't even need to study the Bible because he already knows everything that is important, and that all he needs to pay attention to is Gerald Flurry.
Please help me. What do I say or how should I deal with it? I would just love to hear from someone who is going through these struggles. --Formerly in PCG

Sibling May Go Back Into PCG:

May 28, 2002

I grew up in the PCG and hated it. It's been a [long time] since I quit. My father (who is still involved with the PCG) kicked me out of the house because of my reluctance to re-join the church or to follow the "government" of God. Flurry now has his followers believing that they are in the last hour of the last day or whatever. 

My [sibling] who I also spoke to you about, is thinking of re-joining because of being afraid now. It seems the only power Flurry has is fear. I'm very distressed about what to do. Both of us fought so hard to get out of this and I feel so helpless when I see [my sibling] turning back because of being afraid. I don't know what to say to make [my sibling] see this mistake and [end up going back], because I know what they will be going back too. But what can I say? What can I do? I just don't understand why this is allowed to happen. How innocent people can be so corrupted. Do you have any advice on how to handle the situation? To the best of my knowledge, [my sibling] is only reading literature from the PCG right now. But the next step is talking to a minister (you know, passing Flurry's checklist) and I'm afraid if that happens, [my sibling] will be gone forever. Any advice you might have would be truly appreciated. I know I can't change their mind or make the decisions for [my sibling], but I want to help so bad... and I know the damage that was done to us before. It is always in the back of mind. I fear it will never leave. The scars may not be readily seen on the outside, but they are there. 

Thank God for websites like yours that provide accurate information about dangerous cults like Flurry's. Keep up the incredible work you have going on. Knowledge is contagious as they say. You have my support 100 % of the way. --Formerly in PCG 

Ex-Husband Trying to Get Young Child into PCG:

May 30, 2002

I am writing to you in hopes of getting some help. My ex husband is involved with PCG and is trying to get my [child] involved. My [child] lives with me and my husband and I have custody, my ex husband has only visitation rights. He has started to focus aggressively on him now that my older [child] has ignored the WORD of PCG and decided not to go see his father. My ex husband is wanting my [youngest child] to meet with the (his) Pastor, as he is town. I will not allow this! I have read everything I can get my hands on about PCG and how it works and doesn't work (if you will). The one thing I have not ran across is where these people will go when the "CHURCH THINKS THE WORLD IS ENDING." I understand it could be up to two and a half years before the "world would end" from the time they go to this place. Do you have any ideas or could you tell me? As if my [child] goes missing I will be going there with the authorities to pick him up. Please, anything you could give me will be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you for your time! --Anonymous

PCG Doctrines are Nonsense:

June 18, 2002

I know that taking apart PCG doctrines with real logic and God's Word unnerves many current members. That is probably because they know deep down that most of the PCG doctrines are nonsense. I remember when I was still in the PCG, which I was for 8 years, just reading the book of Galatians bothered me. I suppose that the apostle Paul should be "marked" as a heretic by the PCG, because he clearly has a different view of the law and covenant issues. 

Regarding Flurry's police record, it is fair game as far as I'm concerned because for one thing, it is public record. And for another thing, I sat there and heard Flurry lie about what happened during that incident. I know that he lied because I requested an actual copy of the Police report, and the officer's statement doesn't even come close to Flurry's account. I suggest that others get a copy of it. Ask yourself this: who has more to gain by lying, the police officer or Flurry? Remember Flurry at first claimed that the officer was a WCG member. There was never any proof of that, and I don't think he claims that anymore. 

To answer those who ask why people don't sign their names at the end of their posted letters it is because this is the internet, and many people do not want to have their name out there in cyberspace on a website. Many of the people who write still have family members in the PCG, and don't want to get "marked." Once you are "marked," family members are forbidden to contact you by the PCG Gestapo, I mean ministry. I don't care if I am marked because I don't have any family in the PCG, thank God! Besides, to be marked by lying ministers, who are really just hirelings, is like receiving a Badge of Honor!! Jesus Christ is my Shepherd, not Gerald Flurry. --M.D., Austin, TX

P.S. All members of the PCG need our prayers. They are really just salt of the earth type people who have been deceived, and are being robbed spiritually and financially.

Members Starting to Get Scared of Flurry:

July 15, 2002

Members are starting to get scared of Flurry, because he has gone overboard. I think Satan is at his right hand and he can't be trusted. He is too secretive and that is the mark of someone who can't be trusted. Most of all, why would any of these leaders try to hide what they are doing? God doesn't say to hide, he says to rely on Him. If Flurry and the others are hiding, it is because they don't trust God either. I don't hide what I believe, even to un-believers. I don't make an issue of it, but people know and that's enough. 

That is what makes me see Satan in all this, why the secrecy, why the "stay away from them" attitude? It is satanic and it is driving a wedge between all believers through these "leaders." --Former member

Have to Have Flurry's Stamp of Approval on What They Read:

July 15, 2002

When I spoke to a PCG deacon's wife, letting her know about some critical material I had read on the internet about Flurry, she railed at me for reading "dissident literature." I have heard from others that Flurry and some of his members say he is cracking down. No one in PCG can read, or listen to, anything without the PCG stamp of approval. --Anonymous

Flurry's Uses Spiritual Blackmail:

August 4, 2002

Unless Flurry totally cracks up, the church won't ever go anywhere, because that will be the end of the money coming in. Without this threat of time being short, they can't get the kind of money or loyalty that they would have without coercion. Much pressure is applied to give until it hurts, that God will not think you are worthy to be protected if you put material things for yourself above giving to the church. It is spiritual blackmail. Every encounter a member has with another member or the ministry is a minefield; any word can be twisted, any loyalty can be turned against you. --Former PCG member

Those in PCG Holding Very Similar Beliefs to Branch Davidians:

August 11, 2002

Those who are under the control of Gerald Flurry need to be aware that they are under his mind control, much as the Branch Davidians were under the control of David Koresh. --Former PCG member

Beware of Philadelphia Church of God:

October 7, 2002

Flurry is as fanatical (perhaps more so) than HWA was, and I consider him very dangerous. Flurry is trying to build his own little empire--kinda like HWA did. I recently heard that Flurry is going to drop all U.S. TV stations (except one super station), in order to fight the WCG about Mystery of the Ages. What a waste of precious, hard earned money from the membership!!!

Flurry lied about the death of John Amos (the man that helped him found PCG). He is twisting things that HWA taught (the 144,000 and such). He is calling anyone who is not in PCG a Laodicean and is basically calling down curses on them from God. Some of their literature is very graphic! Flurry is teaching the no doctors, no meds thing (except maybe for a broken bone or childbirth), which is causing major health problems among the membership (and will cause deaths). 

If anyone goes into PCG, women will have to be plain and frumpy--long skirts below the knees, even while sitting ("lest the men get lustful"), and no makeup!!! No earrings for the guys either. Even "Barney and Friends" [TV show for children] is considered evil! Spanking babies is encouraged! Third tithe is required in the PCG, and they have their OWN building fund for the Flurry empire.

Please research. Understand what you are getting into! My husband and I and our young children were there about 2 years. We left because of my "rebellion" over makeup, and so I started looking up "HWA," "WCG," "Gerald Flurry" and "PCG" on the internet. You will find tons of information! After we learned of the many evils, we left! I don't need a man to "lead me to God." --Former WCG, LCG and PCG member

Update: Read how WCG ending up selling PCG the copyrights to Mystery of the Ages for almost $3 million.

Flurry is a Mad-Man:

October 20, 2002

Here are quotes from Flurry's mouth that are just one more thing to prove to me he is a mad-man and whoever stays in his group could be headed down the path of another Jim Jones or David Koresh ending:

"As we get into more trouble, they will really think we are crazy! But we simply are giving ourselves passionately to God." [Who is That Prophet? pp. 5, 88)]

"They [those in PCG] will stay with God even if it gets them killed. [Ezekiel--the End Time Prophet pp. 2, 116]

If we have to go so far as to face death, I hope and pray that we remain loyal to this cause. [Ezekiel--The End Time Prophet, pp.3, 117]

--Former PCG member

Legalists Get Worked Up On Nit-Picking Details:

October 25, 2005

It is so typical of these people in the Armstrong groups to get all worked up on nit-picking details, and they don't stop to consider that they are exhibiting little if any fruits of the Spirit as outlined by Paul in Galatians 5.  That is what happens when you are a legalist in general.  You are so concerned about being "right" that you will do anything, no matter how mean spirited, to prove your "rightness."  I have found that people who have solid and close relationships with Christ just don't get worked up about these things, and they certainly don't resort to sarcasm to prove their point, or express their opinions.  I used to be at that point, and I was miserable. --Michael D. (Former PCG member)

PCG Architect Thrown Out for Questioning:

November 20, 2002

Hello to everyone. I work for a former PCG member. We are very close friends and discuss things openly. He was the architect for the college that Gerald Flurry built in Oklahoma and because I work in his office, I know all the work he put in it and how much he loved that "church." He lives in N. J. but at least once a month he would be in Oklahoma for at least a week. He put his life on hold for PCG and gave them his all in every thing including thousands of dollars. Awhile back he and his child were "put out" from the PCG because he asked a few questions on something things that were being taught. I personally read this letter and it was very respectful, but they were still put out the next day and now none of there old friends in the PCG will talk to them. This is what I do not understand. First, why they were just thrown out like you would throw out old trash and second how people could be so curt as to just not talk to them any more. --N. J.

Sister in PCG Has Cancer - Won't Go to Doctor:

December 4, 2002

Dear ESN,

I have only researched the Philadelphia Church of God's websites for the first time today. I am writing to you as a matter of life and death. My sister, who I love very much, has been recently diagnosed with cancer and is refusing to get the medical treatment she needs and has not even asked the doctor much about her condition. Treatment would involve surgery. I'm not sure how far advanced it is. She is a member of the church (the only one in our family), and over the years has become less and less apart of the our family. She is only in her 50's and may be able to be cured which is still in God's hands, even if she does seek treatment. I love her and don't want to lose her. Nothing I have said so far has changed her mind. She is truly a kind and good hearted person but is definitely immersed in this church's influence in every way. If someone has a suggestion of what I can do, please help me. I was thinking of trying to find the minister for her church and talk to him about it but I don't know if I should or how to find him. It seems to me this church dwells on so much negative and does not proclaim the good news which is Jesus Christ and that we are saved by God's grace through the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the Cross.
Please keep her in your prayers.

Thank you to any who respond, --a Concerned and loving sister

Comment: Read Not a Sin to Take Your Child to the Doctor.

Maybe We Were Praying to the Wrong God:

December 5, 2002

This is for the lady who has a sister in PCG with cancer. Don't bother trying to contact the minister. Won't do her a bit of good. The minister would just accuse her of being of Satan (for wanting her sister to get medical care), interfering in her sister's faith, or something along those lines. The ministers under Flurry worship every little thing HWA instituted early on (even if he changed or modified it somewhat later). Of course, if her sister does not want chemo, surgery, or whatever after she has weighed her options, that's her decision. 

While we were still in PCG in summer 2001, we had a live sermon about the "evilness" of doctors and medicine. The sermon really ticked me off at the time, because we had young kids and they had their immunizations on schedule (before coming to PCG), and the baby was getting his at the proper times too. It seemed like they were regressing back to old ideas and ways of thinking. It's like, didn't they learn anything from past problems!?!

Not only that, but over my 30 years in the church, I've been anointed on many occasions (for various things, some more serious than others), and can never think of one time that I was really, honestly healed. Not that I lacked faith. I believed, and wanted to believe each time that "this" would be the time I was finally healed. Nothing! Many other people I've known have had no medical healings either. In fact, there have been so many people dying of cancer, or other diseases in the church, that I totally doubt the healing doctrine. Maybe we were praying to the wrong God? --Former PCG member

Flurry's Ramblings:

December 8, 2002

If you could post this, it would be great. It is a direct quote from the PCG's monthly magazine for Co-Workers and members called Royal Vision. Flurry is getting crazier and crazier. Some of my family members are starting to talk about their doubts and admit they can't prove what Flurry is teaching. I think the below quote is a good example of Flurry's ramblings for those who don't have access to his writings. The below quote is from the Sept/Oct 2002 issue: "Habakkuk reveals the outcome of the court case" article. Does Flurry believe that Christ will personally be involved in the court case? It appears that he believes Christ will make a personal appearance. I just can't read it any other way. --Former PCG member

MOUNT PARAN (from page 13):

"God came from Teman and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise (v. 3). Mount Paran is probably within the area where the place of safety will be. Petra is in this vicinity. This time, though, Christ doesn't have 10,000 saints with Him (Deut. 33:2; see the last chapter of our booklet No Freedom without Law). [emphasis ESN's] 

The International Critical Commentary says it's better to put this chapter in the present tense. In other words, it's happening right now. That means Christ comes from Mount Paran in the middle of this court case. What was He doing in Mount Paran? Why would He be there now? We must put this in context with the fact that we are Christ's bride, and our loving Husband protects His bride and prepares for our safety and protection.

Within a short time of the September 11 terrorist attack, terrorists tried to bomb Petra. Did Christ stop that Himself? I don't know, but I think it is reasonable to believe that our Husband will come to our aid personally when He needs to. He came or is coming from Mount Paran today for some purpose.

These verses indicate Christ will be personally involved in the court case. This is all going to lead to the Earth being "full of His praise."

PCG never won the court case but they lost and a settlement was made between WCG and PCG during the damages portion of the case.
