January 7, 2021 158th anniversary of the birth of William Irvine Founder of the 2x2 "workers" church Suggested slogan: If you don't also worship the workers we'll come kick you out and then tell you we love you. Hey 2x2s, this guy started your church. Is he not worthy the same adulation that you give the ministry he started?

When the observer realizes that the entire point to 'the Truth' is the workers and their ministry, 2x2ism begins to simultaneously make sense and fall apart.

The following books were written by people who escaped the 2x2 church!



Cult to Christ: The Church With No Name and the Legacy of the Living Witness Doctrine



The author, Elizabeth Coleman, is one of our moderators at the TLC Forum! Elizabeth was born and raised in a nameless and secretive worldwide cult that claims exclusive origin from the New Testament apostolic ministry and blatantly describes all other churches as 'false'. A fourth generation member, she professed faith at the age of sixteen and fully intended to remain there, even when she discovered that the system she believed in was based on a lie. A love story both human and divine, a journey from spiritual bondage to freedom in Christ; this confronting and deeply personal account gives an inside perspective into the mindset of cult members, and reveals the fear and trauma associated with being forced to investigate your own beliefs even if it could mean destroying the very foundations of everything you believe.

Reinventing the Truth: Historical Claims of One of the World's Largest Nameless Sects



It is often very difficult for the outsider to gain any concrete knowledge of this group's doctrine, structure, or history. Reinventing the Truth examines these issues, focusing on the historical explanations the group has offered for its origins. They meet in homes and in rented halls, presided over by itinerant preachers known as "Workers." This religious fellowship usually goes under the names listed above, although its members vigorously deny that the group bears any name. As to its origins, the group positions itself as being a direct continuation of "the New Testament Church." And even though they deny having any organizational structure, the activities of this nameless sect are world-wide in scope.It is often very difficult for the outsider to gain any concrete knowledge of this group's doctrine, structure, or history.examines these issues, focusing on the historical explanations the group has offered for its origins.

The Church Without a Name This secretive group has been called by various names over the years: The Two-by-Twos, White Mice, Black Stockings, Pilgrims, The Meeting, The Workers, The Truth, the Secret Sect, Die Namenlosen, Les Anonymes and many others. But they claim no name of their own. Outside of the group, little has been known of the ways and the diverse belief found among believers in this homespun religion. Here is a book that exposes the origins and the unwritten traditions of the Two-by-Twos. The purpose of this book is to summarize the teachings of this religious group in order to encourage people to draw nearer to and obey God. It is an attempt to bring to light what the workers have tried to hide from the public for over a century. These are doctrines and behaviors that have been observed and learned by an ex-member whose family has been part of the group for five generations, since the founding of the religion in the late 1890s.
