False allegations against Herbert Armstrong Disproven
Since the mid-1970s I have read all sorts of allegations made against Mr
Armstrong which were never proven because they are not true.
The rumours have persisted and have been addressed in several articles below.
Alas, these allegations have never been ‘put to rest’ because there are those
that persist in perpetrating defamation.

Other evangelists and leading ministers (and members) have similarly been
falsely accused or exaggerated about. Remember that Joseph was falsely accused
(Gen 39:11-20); as was Christ (Mark 14:55-56; Matt 9:34; 11:19). Other examples
of false allegations are: Num 16:3; Neh 6:6-8; Jer 37:13; 43:2; Amos 7:10; Acts
16:20; 21:28; Rom 3:8. Throw enough mud and it will stick! The consequences to
the victim can be horrific. But the liars do not care and are callous. They just
want to destroy the other person.
However, some view ICor 6:1-6 in the wrong way - that one should not take
another Christian to court. This Scripture is not negating Government
legislation concerning such matters as defamation and slander; murder; assault
and such like which should be reported or taken to court. Common sense tells us
that.
Questions to ask about such serious and disgusting allegations are:
1.
Where is the proof? Was Mr Armstrong (or others) ever confronted with these
claims or was it done via a whisper campaign behind his/their back?
2.
Claims that there is paperwork or records – these must be shown to the victim. Are
these falsified records or fraudulent documents that are supposed to exist?
3. Was there a false arrest and pressure to admit to something not done, under duress and stress? Or names mixed up by the accusers? Did the authorities add to any existing records they had against him to blight his name?
4.
Is it legal to steal or leak documents with the false claims?
5.
When found out, should these people be sued or reported to the police?
Defamation is a serious crime and can result in jail for the lying, slanderous
offender. Some got off ‘scot-free’ while the mud slung at Mr Armstrong has
stuck. The articles above will wash the mud off and prove Mr Armstrong is not
guilty of the accusations. But those involved with defamation will always cover
for each other, thereby engaging in criminal activity themselves.
May Mr Armstrong’s name be cleared by these articles.
