We absolutely had a responsibility that we "abdicated" (for lack of a better word) to the demands of the hierarchy. Not a wise move.<br /><br />But it is what it is now. Can't go back and change it, can only go forward and change it.<br /><br />God bless with your Bible studies. And I hope you at least give those false protestant doctrines a good looking in to and prove for yourself what they are all about. Don't let the doctrines of those unfaithful people at headquarters go unchallenged. ;)technosenseihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03612372834565489373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553223623498441385.post-90009690276343882022010-05-02T23:35:45.622-04:002010-05-02T23:35:45.622-04:00I too am an ex-WCGer.

However,I think its time we stop placing blame solely on the WCG ministry for the state we found ourselves in and see that a good part was of our own making. If we had been like the Bereans to begin with we would not have ended up as we did. We had some responsability. After all the Bible says, "Be not deceived", which to me places the onus on the individual.. When I read blogs from ex members a reaccuring line keeps surfacing. It goes something like this: I followed HWA, or I followed WCG etc. And that tells it all! We should have been reading our Bibles and following Christ, not an organization. Just because we were under an abusive ministry is not reason to now fall headlong into the false doctrines of protestanism. If Sabbath (for example) was right then it is right now. Just because headquarters were not faithful does not mean God was not. Its just too sad that many have let someone take their crown. I do pray for all the brethren who have suffered and are still suffering. For me healing only came when I at long last started to see my role in the whole thing.
