As for the comment about HWA "making quite an impression" even after his decades ago death, I feel I must respond, as this issue comes up time and again between ex-members, current members, or people trying to understand the impact of the Armstrong cults: yes, of course important figures in the lives of individuals do create impressions; Jim Jones' impact is remembered, after all, as are Marshall Applewhite and David Koresh, and the impact they had (and still have) on peoples' lives has continued long after their deaths. While we may "quietly get on with our lives", there is a part of the psyche of many people associated with any mind-controlling cult or group or belief system that, consciously or unconsciously, must be allowed to come to terms with damages incurred or experiences, good and/or bad, that have colored their world view, and this blog provides a space for that: it is called "giving Voice", and "voice" knows no time limits. For example, slavery was over long ago; however, its implications are still felt today, and those implications still need to be examined along with avenues for healing, whatever they may be. This blogsite also allows a "safe space" to examine spiritual issues, theology, and the healing process. Plus, the comments, links and articulation of issues are valuable resources. I am now a praticing Roman Catholic; yet I enjoy the freedom I have to explore other theologies, dogmas, and beliefs because it makes me critically examine issues that may be hindering my spiritual growth, issues that I can now examine without constraint. I am quite pleased to find a site that allows for many different viewpoints, opinions, discussions, and links--it is refreshingly different from those that are just about "bashing" an individual or group. Peace and blessings to all. Thank you for your comments, ft.

There are those who think this blog is relevant and are looking for a place that makes them think (which was denied to them). If you think I am here to justify this blog's existence to you---keep dreaming and keep on moving. We here are enjoying the ride.

I consider this man an historical figure at this point, since he's been dead 22 years now. I grew up with the WCG and it definitely had its good and bad points and I see my beliefs through a lens coloured with many of my own disagreements with that organization. That being said it seems a little odd to have a whole blog about it this long after the fact. There are a whole lot of people out there that once attended, and have just quietly moved on with their lives. Obviously HWA made quite an impression on you.
