Zambia COG Members Stealing Cattle from UCG Members



Here's a first for the Churches of God!  Victor Kubic is reporting that former UCG members who split off to another splinter cult are stealing cattle from current COG members.

The church’s home office was recently advised that some seven head of cattle have been tragically and wrongfully taken from members of United Church of God in remote areas of Zambia. This creates a terrible and completely unnecessary crisis for these members, and prayers from Church members for resolution and protection are urgently requested.

These stolen cattle were for the most part offspring of heifers that were given to these members years ago as part of a LifeNets International program to help United member farmers (and other beneficiaries) rebuild livestock lost to a devastating cattle disease a decade or so ago. This program of gifting heifers to needy people by LifeNets was patterned after the Heifer Project International headquartered in the United States with an office in Lusaka, Zambia. The cattle are the personal property of the individuals to whom they were given, not some other organization or group.

In Zambia, when these heifers become oxen they are not only able to produce calves to rebuild lost cattle and to provide dairy products and manure for fertilizer and fuel, but they are also the “living tractors” for these subsistence farmers to plow their fields. With planting season taking place just after the Feast of Tabernacles, the loss of these oxen will dramatically affect the members’ ability to plant their next crop. For them, this act of thievery could not have come at a worse time.

The unhappy report that we received and verified related that these cattle were forcibly taken away by former friends or acquaintances of these victim-farmers. These former friends now belong to a Church of God fellowship largely comprised of former members and former ministers of the UCG. It is also our understanding from this report that the leader(s) of that fellowship refuse to intervene to stop the theft of these cattle by their members, nor have they condemned the actions that their members are taking.

  Looks like the Church of God a Worldwide Association are really practicing Christian principles.

Given the ever escallating disharmony and rancor, one of these days, a minister or official from one of these ACOGs is likely to show up at the home of a competing ACOG minister with gun and Bible in hand. What happens next will illustrate what spirit has inspired and affected the Armstrong movement throughout its history. Sadly, ACOG members around the world will interpret the event as an anomaly, and will continue in their Armstrongism.

Uh...I think that has already happened in the past more than once. It was kept quiet so that church members wouldn't find out about it, or, if they found out, they just ignored it as best they could as if it never happened. Remember the incident where the "minister" shot and killed his wife who was in her lawyer's office, then killed himself? Then, there was the incident in Seattle with Charlie, although he wasn't a "minister". And, LCG forgets all about Terry, never mentioned again!

And don't forget the stalker minister who would drive hundreds of miles to peek in women's windows, of the ministers who were/are child molesters.
