Talk:Radio Church of God

Inaccuracy
"On January 5, 1968 the corporate name of the church was changed to Worldwide Church of God although its doctines remained unchanged until after the death of Herbert W. Armstrong on January 16, 1986." Several doctrines changed before 1986, such as make-up and Monday Pentecost.

[Since then, someone discarded the objected comment. "unchanged" was an oversimplification. -Whiner01 05:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

merge this article into "Worldwide Church of God"?
YES.

What little additional information that might be in this article should be merged into the larger WCG article.

The organization changed hardly at all at the time of its name change. By the 1970s, the RCG name was rarely mentioned, of historical interest only.

Admittedly there was a RADICAL trandormation of the teachings and an almost complete turn-over of membership, going from the "old" WCG (formerly RCG) of 1933-1986 to the "new, improved" WCG of 1986-to-date. BUT, filing the 1933-1986 version under RCG and the 1986-to-date version under WCG is not the right way to do it. WCG was the final name of the old version, and the new version uses the same name. So, like it or not, both versions have to be listed under the WCG article. (Emphasize the transition, because the differences are VAST, and many more people know about the "old WCG" than the "new WCG".)

"Radio Church of God" should just redirect to "Worldwide Church of God". -Whiner01 07:12, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

It was obvious. It's done. -Whiner01 05:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
