There was some discussion awhile back on here about Wasmundt's book which caused me to look at it because I recognized the name. My brother-in-law went to the same church as him when growing up. Dave Wasmundt was one of several young preachers in their church. I asked him about DW and he said he was the one who always had something just a little deeper to say whereas some of the other guys seemed to just preach the usual gloom and doom endtime message. Sounds like he was more of a contemplative which lead him to maybe question some things and ask some questions about the status quo. Anyway keep the avatar!

I read the book a long time ago. It was given to me by a sister in the church.
When I was beginning the book I was sitting in a pastor's home, and his wife was shocked that I was reading it. She told me how I should spit on every page. I pondered her words, but I am never one to discard information without investigation. It is like people who get upset with certain teachings men hold, and have a problem with the man because they "heard" something. There are only two parties who really know anything, the preacher, and the congregants who have been with him for years.
Not disgruntled congregants, because they tend to give a view that will blow your mind, where you will think to yourself "this is so bad, it can't be true. Whether it's true or not, it still has to be investigated thoroughly before judgement is served. Now, don't get me wrong there are books which you can read the first three pages or even the forward and see that for the rest of the book you will be wading through the deep mud of agenda, and personal feelings which obscure any of the writer's objectiveness.
Neo-Phariseeism was birthed from DW's issue with his organization (again my opinion) and his desire to allow all who would be interested in his own view on the subject. Pendulum Extremes was book 2 to the first.

My father received a free copy of the book when it first was released. It was thrown away, unfortunately.
I haven't read it myself, though I'd like to. I've heard that the book was misrepresented as being a slam against the UPC.
DW was pastoring in Atlanta over a decade ago. I don't believe he is now though. I visited his church once and enjoying speaking with him after the service.
