    Members of the WMSCOG you know that I'm directing this at you! There are so many things in this life that can cause regret and pain. One of the major ones is walking away from the family that God chose for you to be a part of. I know that the beliefs of the WMSCOG are suck that they believe Christmas to be a bad thing however, I'm not asking you to believe in Christmas. During certain times of the year families seem to take the time to put their scheduels aside and make time for each other. To take away this opportunity to fellowship with your family you are sending a very bad message to them. Jesus didn't stop hanging around his mom and brother just because they did not share the same belief he did. Please don't assume you are better than Jesus. If anything you should take the example that he set and follow it. Even in Jesus family eventually came to believe. If someone or some group is leading you to believe that you should not spend time with your own family which God himself placed you in you should see the falsehood in their words and leave them or the group. This is one regret that you don't have to create in your own family. Choose to be Christlike and spend time valuing the family that God gave you in the first place. Enjoy the holidays which ever ones you choose to believe and celebrate but do it with the ones that brought you up and that truly love you. I care about all of you and wish you all the best. Hopefully the New Year brings you all new revelations of truth. Bringing the lost to the promised land, Joshua.

    That's true even Jesus was obedient to his parents and he was God in the flesh. He loved his family. There is no need to segregate yourself from your family. That is a cult sign …

    Hello Joshua, I'm a member of WMSCOG, and I see this very thing you talk about… I saw several times, members spending the holidays in the church, instead with their own families (myself too) … Today is Christmas but is also Tuesday… (cult day) I thought about going to church today, but no, not today, right now I'm all alone here, but that because of my family is a complete mess… anyway… I agree with you, members gives the church almost all of their free time. It kinda make me sad, because they're tearing their families apart with their non-presence with key moments in the holidays.

    Thanks for this post, and I'm sorry for my lack of english skills or that. I hope I can realize the errors in my way and proceed to investigate further the WMSCOG and therefore breakin-up

    Nice holiday for everyone.

    Anderson, I hope your christmas gets better. Even if your family is a mess, call them or something. Tell them you love them. Family is all we have at the end of the day. I think your english is just fine, and quite a bit better than a lot of native english speakers I know! Keep searching for the truth. Go outside the highlighted verses, read anything you can get your hands on. 

    A very smart person once said "you can always trust someone looking for the truth, and never the one that has found it." 

    Happy holidays 🙂

    Anderson, you certainly have my respect for going against the cult and not attending today. I wisdh your family situation was better however, I do agree with the idea that you should try and reach out to them on this day. God might have something awesome instore for you and you family. Keep you faith in Jesus and everything will work out. Joshua

    Is anyone's family member ringing in the New Year at home?  Or at the WMS?

    My family member in the wms stayed home on New Year's Eve with his family.  I was very surprised at that, but his grandmother was visiting, and he tends to tone things down when she is there, I think.  I am wondering if he is there today, though, listening to damage control since the world didn't end.  Still want to know what his friend who is a long time member has to say now, since he was so adamant that it would end in 2012. Does anyone have words yet from members on what the damage control statement is?
