Part 2: Herbert Armstrong & The Worldwide Church of God

from Cultish · host Jeff Durbin

In part 2 of our series, we continue our discussion with Michele Kissman who spent nearly 30 years in the Worldwide Church of God. ⠀ Throughout its entirety, the WWCOG was considered a cult by most evangelicals until recent revisions including changing their name to Grace Communion International in order to distance from all the negative history and baggage associated with the name and Armstrong. Updated editions of Walter Martins “Kingdom of the Cults” also credited them for moving from Cultism into Christianity. Where does Worldwide Church of God stand really stand theologically and are there areas that we should all be still be concerned about? Tune into our latest series to find out!

Adam Blumenberg Toxic History! is a narrative medicine lecture series where medical experts tell you stories from the history of poison. Human beings have known about poison – substances that harm and even kill– for thousands of years. Poisons have been seen as mysterious, supernatural, and enigmatic. What are these plants, mixtures, and elements with such powerful properties? It is only in the past century that science has begun to demystify these chemicals and explain how they work. Still, the impact they have on the world – from cultish mass suicides to chemical attacks to a single case of homicide – can be profound. Toxic History! explores the impact on society, culture, and science behind poisonous events in history.
