spacer What They Believe

Medicine

Now let's talk about health and medicine. One thing that is typical of cults is how they dismiss science and reject modern medicine. Typical cults would rather believe that illness is caused by demons rather than viruses, that prayer is a more powerful treatment than medicine, and that worship is more important than healing itself. What is the 4th Watch's stance on this?

The 4th Watch does acknowledge that ailments do come from verified sources, such as viruses, bacteria, and problems originating within the body and mind, but they also do teach that demons or the lack of one's closeness to Jesus can also cause such problems. Further more, we have personally seen the church place higher importance of prayer than medical treatment. Many of its users are nurses, which is scary considering that they work within our medical field, but the fact that they do understand how certain medical treatments are useful is encouraging. Still, when you have pastors who preach to come to church when you're sick instead of going to a hospital, that is very scary indeed. Their philosophy is that you must believe that God is your healer, and if God is your healer, then you must pray for his healing when you are ill, because if you seek medical treatment over prayer, then you are in a sense, betraying God. In addition to this, the 4th Watch teaches that you are nothing, and that you are obligated to worship God as your lord. Being sick is no excuse not to worship. If you do not worship because you're sick, then you are sinning. Because of this, many 4th Watch members still go to church to worship even when they are sick. Apparently, you being healed is not important. Worshipping is.

Typically, only cults take a position like this. The dangers of living this way are extremely dangerous and plenty of persons in the past have died because of these very beliefs. Sadly, many of these victims have been children. This is because they are so powerless, and they rely on their cultic parents to do the right thing for them, and unfortunately, the parents feel that asking God to heal their children is more effective than taking them to get professional medical help. Further more, parents drag their sick kids to church to worship their god when they should be home resting and eating soup. I cannot confirm that anyone in the 4th Watch cult has died to due to this dangerous ignorance, but we wouldn't be surprised if it has already happened or if it will some day. This issue has always been one of the most dangerous aspects of cults and continues to be.

The truth is, there is no healing in prayer. When you are sick, you need to get the proper medical treatment you need. Further more, every 4th Watcher needs to understand that their health and the health of their kids come before worshipping their imaginary god. In addition to making yourselves sicker by coming to church instead of staying at home, by doing this, you are putting everybody else's health in jeopardy as well.

Now, we have been told by a certain cult member that this is not an official stance of the cult and that not all members follow this doctrine. If this is truly the case, then this is a very good thing indeed. However, what this member has to understand, is that we have heard with our own ears a 4th Watch pastor preach this very message and we have seen with our own eyes 4th Watch members who have come to church sick rather than stay home to heal, because they felt that worship was more important and that they would be healed through prayer. Even if this is not an official philosophy of the cult, with all the crap that the 4th Watch teaches, this is the kind of thinking that often develops.
