Within two years the Worldwide Church of God (founded by Herbert W. Armstrong) divided its multi-million dollar corporate empire, leaving a myriad of splinter groups and walking wounded in its wake. What caused this highly publicized, destructive group to divide and conquer certain counter-cult apologists? Why have they joined with the ecumenical movement? There are reasons behind the events. Doctrine has been exploited as a massive propaganda tool by the WCG, which in turn provides gross distraction to what is actually occurring within the organization and has been used as a way to elicit control and obtain specific behavior from spiritually minded individuals that have paid extreme amounts of money into the organization. OIU Newsletters™ FIVE and SIX are detailed reports surrounding the Ecumenical Movement (EC) and the current EC strategy involving the Worldwide Church of God conglomerate. Those interested in researching the "reasons behind the events" and activities of the Worldwide Church of God and its extension groups; i. e., United Church of God, Global Church of God (today the Living Church of God), Philadelphia Church of God and other splinters, will find these two Volumes helpful, thought-inspiring and possibly shocking. The OIU looks behind the scenes at the real activities and associations pertaining to the "transformation" of the WCG. These newsletters were originally snail-mailed to those who requested them and consisted of 184+ pages. A partial linked table of contents is now listed on each Volume's first page to make it easier to find info. A few updates, notes and new links have continued to be inserted in brackets into some of the newsletters since 2000. Also be sure and read: An Open Letter to Our Acquaintances in the Church of God VOLUME TWO (includes info on recovery) UPDATE: In November 2004 the Worldwide Church of God moved its headquarters from Pasadena to Glendora, California. (Pasadena Star-News, October 25, 2004) By May 2006 all their offices were moved to Glendora. (Together, May-June 2006). In April 2009 they changed their name to Grace Communion International in the United States. OIU Mission:
