With WCG changing its name to Grace Communion International, Joe Tkach's journey from Damascus is now complete. The journey to oblivion began in the late 1980s with a covert visit to Azuzu Pacific, a theological college based in southern California. There Joe and his fellow cohorts were seduced by Satan in believing that Mr. Armstrong was a false prophet and that WCG was a dangerous cult. One could never image the horror that must have assailed the cohort at this enlightening announcement!
Of course, the story of how the cohort persuaded the unstable Tkach senior to adopt the doctrines of devils have been told over and over again, even by hirelings who were complicit in disseminating them among an unsuspecting laity. So there is no need for me to rehearse that story here. Suffice to say, that those "ministers," who were actually hirelings, are equally as guilty as the cohort for the scattering of God flock upon every mountain(Ezek. 34:6).
Nevertheless, many in LCG, UCG, COG-Hulme, PCG, RCG and most of the other divided, splinter groups will lament this bizarre transformation from a butterfly to a caterpillar!
However, God never ceases to encourage his faithful people by visiting his wrath on the wicked. So don't be surprised if the cohort is swiftly removed from the scene, now that they have completed their journey from Damascus.
