Nothing new under the sun... Church politics

"We ought to be ASHAMED of the pitiful, puny, weak, feeble work that has split up and divided brethren, reached but so very FEW with the message, with almost no real conversions! All this, while leaders desiring power to RULE send out misleading, exaggerated, deceiving statements designed to convince tithe-payers that "the work is progressing." What a mockery! What a tragedy! What a pity!"

Does this statement reflect the condition of God's Church today? You might be shocked to learn it was published in the February, 1939 edition of "The Good News of the Kingdom" and written by Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong.
