Greetings! Have been reading in your blog and would love to contribute. I grew up in the church from age 4-17 and would like for you to post this message to share with other survivors/victims.
Wow, until I came across this site, I thought my brother and I were the only ones from our generation […]
I was born and raised in a Southern Baptist family and went to church as a good Southern Baptist should until Saturday, April 13, 1974 when my family switched from Southern Baptist to the Worldwide Church of God. Earlier, in the fall of 1973, my dad had begun to listen to the radio and television […]

Okay, here goes…my parents entered the WWCG in the late sixties after the tragic death of my older sister who was killed by a bus. Thinking back, this had a profound effect on my parents and subsequently my early emotional development. Losing a child on her third birthday in such a dramatic fashion must be […]
California
I was born into the Worldwide Church of God in Pasadena, California. My maternal great-grandfather was the first to be brainwashed by Armstrong. He listened to Herbert W. Armstrong on the radio from his farm in Hastings, Nebraska around the late 1940s or early 1950s.
My late father began listening to Armstong as a high […]
Hi,
I was brought up in WCG in the UK from the age of eight and left about 30 years later. I have had counselling in the past and most of the time I feel like I am a ‘survivor’ and then something happens to bring it all back. I started browsing the Net […]
To anyone even remotely touched,
What a wild thing it is to read some of your own thoughts and memories without having personally recorded them. I can at least say that our family was not active in a WCG congregation (or whatever they call it, sleeper cell is probably more accurate.) But that certainly does not […]

Big Sandy, TX
I had no idea we all had the same childhood.
I was born into WCG in 1974, the child of two members who had been brought in as teens by their parents. We moved to Big Sandy in 1982. I had a feeling for as long as I could remember that […]
Thank you for creating this Blog. It’s comforting to read stories from other people who experienced such an insane time in their lives. My mom joined the WCG in Seattle, WA in 1965 after following Herbert Armstrong by radio and reading the Plain Truth magazine when I was 8 years old. My […]
Hey Robert! Thanks for the great blog. I’m so thrilled to be the first entry in 2007. I feel so complete.
My name is Melissa. I was born into the church in 1970 and left in 1987. I attended Imperial Pasadena, where I was despised for being a goody-two-shoes, then beaten […]
My name is Anna. I was born into the church in 1978 and I was able leave the church in 1996 when I turned 18.
When I turned 18, I did every thing and anything to try to forget what happened when I was a kid. Alcohol, drugs … and somehow I actually […]
