Notes:

1. Dixon Cartwright continues where John Robinson left off

   After the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) openly turned against its former teachings in January 1995, some people, led by John Robinson, started an independent newspaper called In Transition, which chronicled the split up of the WCG, and the development of its splinter groups. About 22 issues were published from May 1995 to June 1997. After a while, it was felt that In Transition had served its purpose and it was discontinued. Dixon Cartwright, one of the men involved with the In Transition newspaper, wanted to continue, so he started a successor newspaper called The Journal. The Links section of The Journal's Web site has some of the articles in some past issues of the In Transition newspaper.

2. John Robinson's father

   John Robinson, former editor of the In Transition newspaper, had a father by the name of David Robinson, who wrote a book called Herbert Armstrong's Tangled Web. Apparently, David had wanted his son John to reprint it after David's death, but John seems to have just kept quiet about it all. Newspapers don't always tell one all the interesting stuff.

3. A newspaper half full of advertisements

   Even though about half of each issue is now full of advertisements for strange little groups, The Journal newspaper still has the occasional interesting article about events in the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) and its splinter groups.

4. Online books at The Journal's Web site

   The Journal's Web site has now posted online a couple old books that people might like to read:
