Herbert Armstrong's Record as a Father

How did Herbert W. Armstrong perform as a father?

HWA got mad at his eldest daughter, Beverly, sometime in the 1950s, when he saw her with too much makeup on, and that is why he banned female members wearing makeup. (Admittedly my source, LCG cult leader Roderick Meredith, is well known to be a shameless liar but I believe him in this instance.)

HWA committed incest with Dorothy.

HWA forbade doctors to provide proper medical attention to his elder son, Richard, after he was severely injured in a car accident. He also cynically used this event to coerce his followers to give him even more money. He died soon afterwards.

HWA forbade doctors to provide proper medical attention to his wife, Loma, when she was sick and she died. He also cynically used this event to coerce his followers to give him even more money.

HWA scapegoated Garner Ted with all the problems WCG was experiencing and shunned him in 1978, causing a severe schism, and viciously demonized him the rest of his life and refused to reconcile with him.

HWA was a disaster as a father and family patriarch. He destroyed his family because he was so full of vanity.
