I grew up in the church from about the age of 2 years old until I left, whilst still in my first marriage to a church member, when I was about 22. I swing between atheism and alternative/free thinking views on spirituality.
My parents joined the church in the early 70’s in Brisbane, Australia. I don’t [...]

I recently found your web site with the non-believer former members of WCG. I left WCG some time between 96 and 97. I guess I was in about 10 years. My wife grew up in "the church." Fortunately, we both left together. It was sort of a gradual process. Basically, the attempt to [...]

I’m kind of young for your website, I think, being only 28. However, I’m a "second generation" WWCG-whoopdey doo. I was born into that freaking cult in 1977. I left when I joined the Navy at 17 (for which I was strongly counselled my entire senior year in high school— by both [...]

Hi. My folks moved us to California in 1963, that’s when we joined the cult church. We weren’t allowed to have xmas, or most any other holidays. Having been in a Baptist church and being 13 at this time, I was not gungho about having my life turned upside down.
We stayed in California for [...]

I was 5 years old when my mother heard HWA’s Radio Church of God broadcast in 1963. She was scared by his predictions of the Tribulation soon to come, left the “no piano” Church of Christ (you have to love Protestant proclivities to split over trivial details), and soon was baptised into the [...]

My Name is Sue. I grew up in the WCG from the time I was 18 months old until I rebelled about the age of 14-15 years old. I figured by then I was going to burn in hell but it was going to be a more fun life for the time being. [...]

I happened upon your website this past week and am happy to have found it. It got me in contact with Betty Brogaard, with whom I was acquainted. I knew both her and her husband, Fred.
I live in Phoenix, AZ since 1981, and the only former associate I know of here is Dr. [...]

My mother began listening to H.W.Armstrong’s "world tomorrow" broadcast on the radio back in the 1950’s. When I was about 14 (1961) I started to read all the literature that was offered, the "Plain Truth" magazine was something that I looked forward to receiving each month. I went through [...]

Hi, my name is Beth and this is my story:
I was born Catholic, was even attending a Catholic school when the person raising me (my uncle… no need to get into that whole story…LOL) decided to join Armstrong’s Bible Thumping League of Pretentious Bigots and Fools… otherwise known as the Worldwide Church of [...]

Hello Everyone…
I was forced to attend WWCG meetings from the age of 5 until I finally left the church at age 17. The teachings of HWA & GTA forced my parents to divorce because my father was an atheist and they were not "married" in the "church." I am now 49. My parents [...]
