Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flying Free thoroughly covers the background of the Worldwide Church Of God (WCG) cult â its history, leadership, doctrines, beliefs and its membership. This book contains never previously published research explaining Herbert Armstrongâs Holiness Quaker upbringing. It also includes extensive research on the WCGâs comparison to a cult, and the characteristics that actually define a cult. Flying Free documents the impact of the Armstrong teachings on individual lives, but then goes on to show a priceless freedom â found in life beyond fundamentalism.Flying Free is a valuable, practical resource for ex-WCG members and for relatives or friends attempting to come to terms with the reality of loved ones joining a cult. It should serve as a warning to those contemplating entering a fundamentalist church. The book also includes a balanced assessment of the origins of the Bible, the authority of the Bible, and an appraisal of organised Christianityâs influence on the individual Christian.
