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 […]
Hi all! I was laying in bed last night, unable to sleep. For some reason I started thinking about the “Church” and how much I missed the childhood friends that I had. I missed the feeling of the childhood excitement of going to the feast. These feelings started leading to anger, deep sadness, and pain […]
Hello everyone! I was around 5 years old when my Dad got hooked on WCG. I remember Mom “fighting” this interest by cooking pork and my Dad going around glowering about it. Eventually Mom capitulated and got sucked into it too so we started attending the Houston, Texas church. I actually had good memories of […]
Hello:
Today, I found your WCG blog and added it to the links on my new blog. Like you, I find myself healing by writing about my experiences in ‘the church.’
Today is Easter Sunday. On the television they are playing a Catholic mass. Everything about it seems so foreign to me: the organ and choir music, […]
I too was a long time member in the WCG. I went to Imperial grade and high school, graduating in ’68. Attended Big Sandy and graduated in ’72. Married a minister’s daughter and attended church in the Baltimore area until being “Marked” in the mid 80’s for giving a sermon about the […]

My name is Kayla, I was born into the WCG in 1982. I found your site tonight when I decided to look for some type of support group for people who were raised in this cult. it feels so awesome to finally know there are people who went through the same teachings and […]
My daughter, one of those who posted, directed me to this site. I have the qualifications, having been a bona fide member of the church (baptized in 1960), a three-year student of AC, married to a minister and long since an atheist. What appears to be different in my case is my age […]
Hi everyone, My name is Theresa.
My life can’t seem to escape Armstrong’s evil hands! I was born into the church in 1971. My mom is a 2nd generation WWCGer who was raised in Texas. She was abused by her parents (church leaders knew and did nothing) and when her parents divorced, she leaned on […]
