Herbert Armstrong: The Man Who Claimed To Be Elijah 2.0 (an introduction of sorts)

  From the time that I have been able to talk, I have had to explain about the doctrine and beliefs that Herbert Armstrong both concocted and plagiarized to create The Worldwide Church of God as well as the effect that it has had on millions of people all over the world. Herbert and Loma Armstrong with their daughters Beverly(right) and Dorothy(center) He is believed to have started his 10 years of incestuous sexual abuse of Dorothy roughly 7 years after this photo was taken. Honestly, I'm sick to death of it. But in the same way that someone with a very noticeable scar or missing limb must continue tell the story of their ordeal whenever they meet someone new - and just can't help but ask what happened, I am still explaining the false doctrines and sharing stories of rampant abuse, fraud, and neglect with people who are curious about the cult. As much as I hate it and wish I could just "get past it somehow," I can't. This is my baseline. Coming to accept that...
