| I was a member of the
Worldwide Church of
God and Philadelphia Church of God from 1984 to 1999. They suspended me about 6 months ago for asking
about the same questions [see Mike's testimony]. When they would not
give me the answers I stopped tithing. That is when the ax fell.
I almost gave up on God after
that happened. But finding your web page gave me food for
taught. That Christ allows things to happen to us for a reason.
As it says in the Bible: "All things work for the good for those
who love God." They work for the good but they may not feel
good at the time. As far back as I can remember I have always
searched for God's Truth.
These people in the PCG had my
brother-in-law spy on me to see if I was saying anything contrary to
their dogma. They even tried to turn my wife against me, phoning
her while I was at work.
Two ministers came to my house
to suspend me and didn't even have their Bibles in their hands. I
quoted Scripture to them and they totally sweep that under the rug.
They even had the nerve to ask my wife if she was going to remain
faithful to their church after they suspended me. By the way I
couldn't find the word suspension in the Bible that pertains to that
process.
I still have a lot of trash in
my mind from them, but I have faith that Christ will cleanse my mind. As
for now I must go forward and trust in the one true God.
In Christ's love
