Snyder says a lesson is "your sins will find you out." A more appropriate way to look at that is "you shall know them by their fruit." But he will not use that one, since it is still what they use to hammer other COGs -- believing they are not, in fact, some of the bad fruit off the bad HWA tree.

Take all of he generally recognized Protestant churches, roll in the Catholics and that to me is the orthodox heartland. GCI is witin this boundary. The UCG is not. I should of made a simpler statement: GCI became a Christian organization and the UCG remains outside the pale of Christianity. My guess is that this sea change should eclipse many other WCG related topics but I doubt that it gets much attention in Barrett's writing. And, of course, Snyder could not remotely acknowlege this view. <br /><br />-- NeoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08487906691943831671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52912413020249030.post-21427171917549126912013-01-07T08:37:53.798+13:002013-01-07T08:37:53.798+13:00You call membership in the NAE the "orthodox ...You call membership in the NAE the "orthodox heartland"? <br />Gavin Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17965552923012880262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52912413020249030.post-61913995587734058232013-01-07T06:35:01.512+13:002013-01-07T06:35:01.512+13:00For all the valid criticism and analysis Barrett m...For all the valid criticism and analysis Barrett may produce, how will he handle one overriding fact: The WCG/GCI organization moved from the theological fanatasy outer world to near the orthodox heartland? To most of us, this is the story, not the mnagement or mismanagement and organizational dynamics. And this is a zone that, of course, Michael Snyder is unable to step into. <br /><br />-- NeothermAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08487906691943831671noreply@blogger.com
