It has an article about a CGI minister in the CIA, mentions the separate UCG and Jim O’Brien winter family events, the death of Mrs. Billingsley (more on that is at the GCG News <\/a>page), and some Feast-related reports.<\/p>\n

It will not be then (nor will it be around the fall holy days <\/a>in 2008 as Ron Weinland<\/a> is telling everyone).<\/p>\n

Those who remain in the WCG follow a church that has not a dime\u2019s worth of difference with the First United Methodist Church in both doctrine and governance. They even meet on Sunday.<\/p>\n

And he is basically correct there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
