Non-Believer Former Members of the Worldwide Church of God

Hi,

I have just read your blog, and like you I grew up in the WCG (UK) with my sister and brothers. At one time I believed everything that I was told by my parents and the church. Had some good times as a teen going of to S.E.P camp in Scotland 5 times, and at F.O.T. Things changed after the death of Mr. Armstrong. It was like he had a hold of me but I did not see it for 5 years. My mum and dad, sister and brothers stayed until the split, then moved to UGC. For some reason they kept the news of the split from me for 4 years. Out of us 4 kids it is just my sister, her husband, and 2 boys still attending UCG with mum and dad. January 8 dad was ordained to elder. I do get on with my family better now that I’m out of it.

And I would not found my wife of 3 years if I stayed.

Many thanks,

R. Johnson
