Cartwright’s final Journal out: Mainly discusses The Journal and past news items

The last intended issue (says #202, print date January 31, 2017) of The Journal: News of the Churches of God just arrived via email.

It mainly had articles about The Journal: News of the Churches of God and past coverage.

It also had more advertisements than usual.

Here is something from its front page:

The Cartwrights complete 21 years of producing their newspaper with the current issue, No. 202, dated Jan. 31, 2018. THE JOURNAL began with the February 1997 issue after another independent Church of God newspaper, In Transition, ceased publication. In Transition, published by John Robinson, was the inspiration for THE JOURNAL , but THE JOURNAL is a separate publication, not a continuation of Mr. Robinson’s newspaper

This edition of The Journal also had various letters to the editor, advertisements, and a few opinion articles. The advertisements mainly seem to be from possibly Laodicean groups and/or individuals (not all seem to be COG) who seem to think that the ads are somehow doing the work of God. The Journal has tended to have a non-Philadelphian perspective on many COG matters.
