SQ@CC

Of the many damaging cults that arose during the 20th century WCG or Worldwide Church of God is one of the largest- still continuing in various forms to this day, despite an alleged turn toward orthodoxy in some of the splinter groups. This organization was infamous for prohibitions against medical treatment, racial prejudice, mishandling money, immorality, legalism, and a huge propaganda machine, just to name a few things. Our guest's testimony exemplifies both the danger and the differentiation that one might experience in contact with a cult. A benign experience with a cult does not mean that the cult is good, but rather marks its danger in that many people who may encourage others to join it might not have ever been exposed to some of its most negative aspects. Listen in as Luke and our guest, Kevin King, speak about not only the various issues and forms of the group but also Kevin's personal experience within it and some of its later formations.
