Matthew Forester
Matthew Forester, ABD, recently completed the coursework for his doctorate in
English, specializing in rhetorical theory, at the University of South Florida
in Tampa. He is currently an adjunct lecturer in the University Writing Program
at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Matthew was born and raised in the
Worldwide Church of God and indoctrinated with the ideologies of “Armstrongism.”
After his emancipation from this group, he found the study of rhetorical theory
to be therapeutic, as it offered a very powerful explanation for how his
worldview had been the product of a very clever religious entrepreneur. Matthew
is currently writing his dissertation, which focuses on the rhetoric of cultic
groups and the implications these rhetorics provide about the role of language
in the constitution of human subjects.
