The Covenants In 1988, Goodwin made the entire church
take 10 “covenants” which you can read here. Weird stuff!
Yoke of Bondage One man's story of his
involvement in the Tom Jolly organization. Jolly was later convicted as a
pedophile – and was one of Lloyd Goodwin’s mentors along with others.
William
Sowders A history of William Sowder's ministry.
(Sowders was another one of Goodwin's mentors.)
Information on
cults Information and links on destructive
cults, mind control, brainwashing, and more.
I did not write the following document; however, I have
published it on this website (with the permission of the author) in order to
familiarize people with the life of William Sowders, who was Lloyd Goodwin's
mentor.
I did not know William Sowders. He died before I was born. Therefore, at this
time I personally have no opinion on his character and nature.
It's important to note that Lloyd Goodwin taught (and his ministers still
teach) that Goodwin was a "true" follower of Sowders, and that all
the other Gospel Assembly Churches were not. In fact, he always described any
church that came from Sowders' ministry --but that was not part of the
Goodwin organization-- as the "old body."
However, it seems to me that if the following history is accurate, then
William Sowders would have not agreed with the practices of
Lloyd Goodwin.
For a different viewpoint on William Sowders, read Wayne Hamburger's book, Yoke of Bondage.
