So surprisingly great to hear lingo I’ve only heard from occasional conversations with family or from myself futilely attempting to explain my background haha Also very surprising to hear so many similar thoughts and conclusions that I’ve come to recently about my own wcg experience and so very helpful. Thank you. Brilliant idea to share so many different perspectives instead of the typical “cult pods” that I’ve listened to.

Money from the third tithe was used in the worldwide church of God for the widows and orphans BUT the widow had to PAY IT BACK! So that made the third tithe stolen funds from the church members who was treated like trained dogs. We weren’t even allowed to ask a question we was told if you question the church then that means you are not saved. That church did not and still don’t believe in Jesus Christ for Salvation. They are another anti-Christ religious group. And they cover up sexual sin on children. They put widows and orphans in the most unsecured unsafe places to stay during the Feast Of Tabernacles, our motel room wouldn’t lock, the bed had blood on the sheets, and told me the church doesn’t like helping people like you! By the feast coordinator. I was had no clue what that meant other than you are beneath us. I became severely depressed after a few years and told I had demon issues. Well the demon issues was the church I was a 3rd generation and my children was 4th generation. I have since left that church and it took me years to overcome the lies the mind control and I now know who Jesus is He is my Savior by Grace through Faith! No other name not this plus Jesus all the while being told we are an embryo not yet born again as we were so often told! Sick crazy stuff! If you’re in a splinter get out all they did was whitewash the crimes HWA committed along with his false teaching. They are built on sinking sand!
I got the heck out!

There are a couple positives about my time in the “church”. My family made some lifetime friends friends with other families. Our podcast host’s family is one. Our mothers were good friends. Hmmm.. I can’t think of another right now!
