my parents still subscribe to PT or World Tomorrow mag; whatever it's now called; even after I told them about WCG they still believe in what is published; they are 80 so no changing their minds lol

Hello dear Canadian,
I do not really like the word Canuck :)
Some few go back many years being in the WWCG. We all thought we were the only ones called and chosen of all Christians. very pompous and arrogant. Exclusivist for sure. Some still cling to that doctrine espoused by the WWCG and it seems like your parents still do. They probably follow this group (link below) which claims to be the off shoot of HWA.
**************
Sad to see some still cling to that. I remember Ray saying that to eventually come to a true understanding of God's work in us we had to go through a system like that or something similar. i.e. come out of her my people!

If you oppose WWCG teachings (and rightly so), why do you provide a link to those false teachings, which is against Forum rules?

So sorry

Sorry to be so preachy, but WWCG teachings really set me off.
When I was a member, as a young man, my firstborn son had a hernia at birth.
I decided to take him to a surgeon to repair the hernia, which was against church teaching.
The minister told me not to be surprised if God let my son die because of my lack of faith in God alone for healing. Most of the other church members looked down on me for my action.
It was a good experience for me. It is one of the reasons I have no use for church, ministers, or religious people.

Well said JFK.

I'd never heard of this World Wide Church before coming on this forum. But it seems that the majority of regular posters on this forum have come from there.. I've never had experience with the type of church most of you've come from. This may explain why some of us do not have certain feelings about attending a church service while others may feel very strongly about church service.
I remember a guy teaching a bible study at my old church about how Hell isn't real... Also heard a bible study about how tithing isn't scriptural... Some churches are more manipulative and controlling than others.
