thread_title:  No mention of Bobby Fischer? 

message: Links at the bottom of the article refer to "Sabbath-keeping churches." This seems inappropriate since GCI is not a Sabbath-keeping church. (evidence can be seen at www.wcg.org/lit/law/sabbath/) Further, it seems misleading to include Worldwide Church of God among the list of Sabbath-keeping churches (non-Adventist) because the WCG rejected Sabbatarianism in 1995. If the link has to stay, it ought to say "Worldwide Church of God (before 1995)."64.208.29.126 (talk) 21:20, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Re:  “...the WCG under Armstrong had a significant, and often controversial, influence on 20th century religious broadcasting and publishing in the United States and Europe...”
1. If this statement is true, should the article be rated higher than Mid-importance on the project’s importance scale?
2. Does this statement need a reference?

thread_title: Two questions

message: the section RELATED DENOMINATIONS should have a different name since United Church of God, Global, Philadelphia Church of God, etc., have nothing to do with Grace Communion. While all of them have the same founder, GCI rejected and mocked Mr. Armstrong. Currently, I dont believe we are related to Grace Communion. Just a thought...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dowabura (talk • contribs) 17:54, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Too bad if you're embarrassed by GCI. The fact is, you (whoever you are, if your a member of one of these bodies) are historically related. Ltwin (talk) 18:20, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

message: The first sentence of the fifth paragraph under "History" (i.e., "1956, Armstrong met Stanley Rader at Ambassador college.") appears to suffer from an editing error.    Always buy quality! (talk) 09:46, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

message: The article's main title is GCI, but most of it is about WCG.
There is in fact almost nothing about the GCI itself in it.
One organization may be legally a continuation of the other, but in reality the GCI is simply one of many descendants of the WCG; it shouldn't be treated any differently.
Yes, as an outsider (that is, as a typical Wikipedia reader), it seems obvious to me that there should be separate articles for the church led by Herbert W. Armstrong and the church led by Joseph Tkach. To me and probably most people, what you are doing here is like redirecting "Swedish Catholicism" to "Swedish Protestantism" on the theory that the Church of Sweden used to be Catholic but now it's Protestant. There may an organizational, historical connection, but it's not the same church. Redirecting Worldwide Church of God to Grace Communion International clearly tells the average reader that they still believe the same thing, which isn't true.

message: This claim is not referenced. Are there no successor-churches that claim to have "conformed" to all of HWA's teachings? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 21:44, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  "other churches that conformed to many, but not all, of Armstrong's teachings" 

message: Most of this is sourced the GCI itself, so really, we need to either strip the page of most of the material and replace it with third-party supported content, or find out of there actually are any outside sources that say any of this. There is also a lot of coverage out there on the controversies of this organization's past that have conveniently been left out, especially considering the level of unsourced content added...
