I was reading one of the WCG-related discussion group’s digests and I noticed something interesting. There is a significant number of people who feel that the WCG was demented, that it’s ministers were abusive, and even some who feel that HWA himself was awful. Yet they still hold to what he taught:

What steps we have to follow from here I have not yet found myself, but I have comfort in knowing that there will be a “world tomorrow” designed by a loving God, not some deceitful, lying men.

You are very right, perfect love does cast out the fear. I do not fear the coming tribulation as such, but certainly would like a different future to look forward to. I have no joy at all in what we as a world yet must go through.

There are of course others. There’s “besqaa” from the PCG group who has experienced the abuses of the PCG and yet still buys the message. And from what I can gather about Charlie Lauderback, it’s the same.

How could an abusive, unholy minister and an abusive, ungodly “apostle” teach a godly message? How can truth come from such a foul source? Why would God use such a flawed messenger?
