by R...Moral Mazes: The World of Corporate Managers<br /> by Robert Jackall covers the ground occupied by the Armstrongist <br />Worldwide Church of God and their Church Corporate spinoffs — not <br />specifically, but in practice, since all the participants follow the <br />same thinking and practices of those in the Corporate 200. Chapter 7, The Magic Lantern, covers the aspects of image creation for the purposes of <a href="http://www.hwarmstrong.com/image.htm" rel="nofollow">public relations</a>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846567313402731847.post-37325825342093280222016-07-12T22:08:43.411-07:002016-07-12T22:08:43.411-07:00So true.

First it was the land, then the field house, then the MPC, then the admin building, then HWA’s crystal lampstands and Steinway piano, then the auditorium, then another Steinway, then the new stately home in the UK. Now it’s a million dollar music and dance facility. What’s next? Oh yes, I remember a freaking jet plane!<br /><br />There is nothing in the New Testament about the Christian church purchasing elaborate buildings. After Christ’s ascension the only official church real estate recorded that I am aware of in the early NT church was Paul's house at Rome which was rented! Certainly the early Church didn’t need auditoriums or college facilities. As far as I can tell they met in member’s homes and taught in the local synagogues and public places of assembly.<br /><br />It makes me shudder every time I hear the auditorium referred to as God’s house. What’s worse is that HQ’s make the families with young children sit in the basement rooms during services listening via video link to protect their precious furnishings and fittings from being spoilt.<br /><br />Interestingly you will never hear the PCG ministry quote Hebrews 3:6 which says explicitly that the church collectively and that the members individually are God’s House, not any physical building.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
