Win the Information War

One of our missions is to help spread information regarding the history and nature of COG groups for the public benefit. Listed here are some ways to promote facts and truth about these organization that they hope remain obscure and unknown to the world at large.

It is important to rewrite the church narrative, which is nearly identical from sect to sect, and favor a balanced and accurate history. Those operations which are listed as complete have either been successfully carried out by Silenced or by others. In some cases, their window of opportunity may have expired because the cult has withdrawn. That’s fine too.

Operation: Cost a cult some money
Status: Complete
PCG seems to have withdrawn from Google AdWords for all search terms, not just “Herbert W. Armstrong” and similar queries. The operation may resume should this change.

Operation: Cultspotting
Status: Ongoing

Operation: Answers.com
Status: Complete
The previous answer to whether UCG is a cult was flagged by the community and has since been edited to more properly reflect the cult’s status, beliefs and practices with regards to controlling its members. A related question about RCG has also been properly answered.

Extinct COG Groups and Websites

We also strive to keep track of each extinct or defunct COG church in order better record the gradual crumbling of the cult. A number of these groups may have simply gone under ground or changed their name beyond anyone’s notice. Others have self-destructed spectacularly.

Some of these groups have merged with others or have changed their identities completely, and such cases are noted. If anyone has any brief profiles to add describing the history of these splinters, please send them to us, as many are so obscure they barely existed at all. We’ve also listed former COG websites that existed when Silenced launched in Summer 2011, but have since disappeared entirely.
