Outsider's Inside Update™
Newsletters of Understanding
"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works
of darkness,
but rather reprove them." ~ Ephesians 5:11
NOTICE: In April 2009 WCG changed their name to Grace Communion International in the United States. (Some local church areas and countries may still carry the former name or a different one.) Church Multiplication Ministries is a ministry of GCI.
Within two years the Worldwide Church of God (founded by Herbert W. Armstrong) divided its multi-million dollar corporate empire, leaving a myriad of splinter groups and walking wounded in its wake. What caused this highly publicized, destructive group to divide and conquer certain counter-cult apologists? Why have they joined with the ecumenical movement? There are reasons behind the events.
Doctrine has been exploited as a massive propaganda tool by the WCG (GCI), which in turn provides gross distraction to what is actually occurring within the organization and has been used as a way to elicit control and obtain specific behavior from spiritually minded individuals that have paid extreme amounts of money into the organization.
OIU Newsletters™ FIVE and SIX are detailed reports surrounding the Ecumenical Movement (EC) and the current EC strategy involving the Worldwide Church of God conglomerate. Those interested in researching the "reasons behind the events" and activities of the Worldwide Church of God and its extension groups; i. e., United Church of God, Global Church of God (today the Living Church of God), Philadelphia Church of God, Restored Church of God and other splinters, will find these two Volumes helpful, thought-inspiring and possibly shocking. The OIU looks behind the scenes at the real activities and associations pertaining to the "transformation" of the WCG.
These OIUs were written by ESN founder, L. A. Stuhlman and originally snail-mailed to those who requested them. They consist of 184+ pages. A partial linked table of contents is now listed on each volume's first page to make it easier to find info or to know much of what the newsletter contains. A few updates and notes have been inserted in brackets since 2000, plus removal and/or updating of some links.
