Why Did HWA Threaten WCG Members and Co-Workers with the Lake of Fire?

All About Armstrongism has a most fascinating blog discussing why HWA chose to threaten WCG members and co-workers with being thrown into the Lake of Fire to be destroyed forever.

Even if you think you know everything there is to know about HWA you should still read it. It is that good.

Twenty-one instances are cited in which HWA threatened WCG members and co-workers with the lake of fire. 

It is chilling to see how often HWA blackmailed WCG members simply to get more money to complete his vanity projects, such as building his office, a dining hall, his building fund to build Ambassador Auditorium, etc. (An Auditorium PCG's Stephen Flurry thought was not a burden.)

After quoting the words of the man who called himself an Apostle, All About Armstrongism states:
It is seen that Herbert Armstrong stated that if you do not give enough money on top of tithes and offerings – you would be sentenced to the Lake of Fire, burned up forever and ever in the third resurrection.

It is seen that Herbert Armstrong stated that if you do not do your part, and what is expected of you, you would be sentenced to the Lake of Fire, burned up forever and ever in the third resurrection.

It is seen that Herbert Armstrong stated that if orders are not obeyed, if a member is guilty of murmuring, complaining, criticizing, rebellion, independence, and criticism, and if you do not have an attitude of submission, cooperation, you will be sentenced to the Lake of Fire, burned up forever and ever in the third resurrection.

Is it not disgusting to see how HWA so blatantly blackmailed and coerced his followers to bend to his selfish will? As the blog states HWA was just as bad as an armed robber stealing money from a bank.

It amazes me how, even after all these five years since I renounced Armstrongism, I can still be so shocked at just how much of a heartless exploiter he was. What a sick, disgusting, materialistic man he was.
