PCG Condemns Women Serving in All Forms of US Military Service

PCG has released an article by Kieran Underwood condemning the recent decision to let women serve in all forms of armed service within the US armed forces. Underwood quotes a 2013 article by Joel Hilliker about this topic.

Readers have left comments about this decision.

In this comment the writer mentions being embarrassed, mortified and ashamed over this policy.

This is just flat out shameful and wrong. i am embarassed and mortified in front of the world and my God. Political correctness has gone too far. when I was young I loved my country , now I am just ashamed of it… The pentagon brass and the Comander-in-Chief should be hanging their heads in shame. I know I am

Here is another comment.

During the Vietnam war, America lost over two hundred soldiers per week - a total of 60, 000 dead. How would the nation react to hundreds of body bags of dead women soldiers? Where would be the will to fight. Not even the Nazis used their women in the front line.

One comment says that women would be more affected by combat.

Battle will affect them even more intensely than men. It would be very hard for them to actually carry out their God given role if they are combat veterans.

Here is one comment absurdly speculating that the women chosen to serve will "need" to be "unattractive" to prevent intimate relations among the soldiers. (Strangely sexual harassment is not brought up as a problem.)

As this article states, there are many other issues and challenges caused by lowering standards to be politically correct and kowtow to the feminist agenda, so to lower the potential are they going to staff these units with totally unattractive women, preventing the liaisons, love triangles, hurt feelings and squabbles as people compete for the affections of others? Anyone who has witnessed an inter-office romance can vouch for the fact that troubles at “home” bring troubles to work, but what dire consequences await in this scenario.

Astoundingly neither Hilliker's article, Underwood's article nor any of these comments mention the most terrible and shameful criminal problem of the sexual harassment and rape of US military servicewomen within the US armed forces by "fellow" US soldiers and officers. It is well documented that such criminal things occur. Astoundingly this most terrible issue is left unmentioned in these articles.

I mentioned Hilliker's 2013 article in a previous post.

January 26. "America Thrusts Wives and Moms Into Combat" by Joel Hilliker. Here Hilliker condemns women serving as soldiers in the US military. If Hilliker is truly disturbed by this maybe he should become an pacifist in spirit and uses his words to discourage military endeavors.

Strangely he makes no mention of the well documented and most shameful phenomena of female soldiers being sexually harassed and/or raped by "follow" US soldiers.

It would be so wonderful if female members of the US armed forces were not treated in such a terrible and appalling manner. But facts are facts. It is happening and PCG seems strangely unaware of this most terrible problem. To pretend it is not happening is not good.

Fall of Berlin Wall NOT Proof HWA was Right

It is often asserted that the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 proved that HWA was right and he really did see the future.

This of course is nonsense. Herbert W. Armstrong said that Christ would return within twenty years in his book Mystery of the Ages. (PCG has since deleted those words so someone in there knows HWA spoke nonsense.) How convenient for them to forget this.

Also Herbert W. Armstrong never said the Soviet Union would collapse. He thought it would survive intact until a few years after Christ's return. It shows how biased some many in the COGs are that they never seem to notice this. This inconvenient truth is just tossed into the memory hole.

It is true that HWA said that some Eastern European states would break away from Moscow's orbit and join the European Empire he said would arise at any moment. But he never talked of the Soviet Union collapsing. He did not teach that. Also he portrayed the rise of the European Empire to be far quicker then what has actually happened. In Mystery of the Ages Christ was supposed to return by 2005 at the most.

So assertions that the fall of the Berlin Wall somehow prove that HWA was right is just complete nonsense spread by people who, for whatever reason, are still in denial that HWA was a false prophet who merely talked out of his own "human reasoning".

Truth about Roderick C. Meredith

What sort of man is he? A man who could say things like this.

"Mr. Armstrong has reminded us again that we are to disfellowship any members who attend GTA's [Garner Ted Armstrong's] campaigns, church services or other meetings. Some of our weaker members apparently do not realize that this man is in direct rebellion against God and His government! We must not allow them, or ourselves, to rationalize about this matter, to try to "help the underdog," or in any other way lend support to one whose gross immorality, whose long standing "play acting" and hypocrisy, and whose direct insubordination to the Government of God has long been and is now a source of confusion and DIVISION among God's people. So, as per Mr. Armstrong's instruction, I charge and exhort every one of you faithful ministers of the living Christ to explain this in no uncertain terms to your members, to warn them about this cause of division and then to disfellowship any who consort with GTA or any of his fellows." (Roderick C. Meredith, Pastor's Report, May 21, 1979, pp. 1-2.)

See here for this statement's context.

David Robinson on Roderick C. Meredith

WCG minister David Robinson had this to say about Roderick C. Meredith in a letter he wrote to him on September 19, 1979.

"During the ten years I have been an employee of the Worldwide Church, you have been poorly spoken of by most of the ministers and employees I have known. I vividly remember the absolute unbounded glee that was openly expressed by a good number of respected men in the church when you were first "shanghaied." [In 1972.] I could begin by naming names, which I am sure would shock you. I was one of the few who stood, where possible, for you. Your tenure as superintendent of ministers, as I believe the office was then called, was looked on as nightmarish. While you held office during the years of growth, most of those whom I know gave you very little credit for that growth. Almost everyone whom I know, whether they be former friends of yours, or continuing foes, recalls insensitive and terrible things you have done. Without exception, at least among my acquaintances, they all credit you with an unbridled lust for power and list you as one who is willing to pay the price of gaining that power, no matter what. I have, through many of the last few years, believed you had principles you would not violate. Many a man of experience in the church assured me of my error. Events have proven me wrong and them right. Mr. Armstrong has himself been widely quoted as saying of you that you were so righteous that you were so "righteous you were unrighteous." " (David Robinson, Herbert Armstrong's Tangled Web, Chapter 16, p. 207.)

Of course it is impossible for me to personally verify these assertions but people deserve to know what this knowledgeable man had to say about him.
