Philadelphia Church of God Money Problems: Gerald Flurry's Desire For A Jet = The Malone's Swan Song?




From a PCG source:

The Malone's Swan Song? 
My source recently informed me that Gerald Flurry is cutting back on the Performances at Armstrong Auditorium. Apparently future plans to produce/bankroll any of Ryan Malone's Musical extravaganzas now takes a back seat in Flurry's mad quest to buy a used private Jet. The recent crash and burn of "The Widow's Mite" and it's poor box office proceeds and public interest has convinced Flurry to severely cut back on the Edmond Elites River dancing fun. Could the negative Publicity surrounding Flurry's River-dancing excesses exposed by Anti-PCG blogs/websites be finally taking its toll on the troubled Prophets mind? Is this a good excuse to drop a embarrassing money drain that is not all that popular with the exploited non-Edmond PCG sheep? Why fund musicals to half empty auditoriums? 
Flurry had also said in the Sermon that the PCG has some qualified church members who work or have worked in the field of Aviation and that they would serve to maintain Flurry's private jet. There maybe a possibility that the PCG will have its own PCG pilots to fly Flurry around the world and PCG ground crews to maintain the Jet in flying order. Of course there will be no shortage of potential Stewardesses (Armstrong College coeds?) to serve the top ranking PCG male leaders as they take their message around the world. This use of only PCG members to man Flurry's Jet will apparently reduce the cost to the Church as they would not have to contract out with a "worldly" firm. 
The Key of David will also be axed from some "unproductive" stations. It seems the PCG rates the productivity of a TV station by how much money and solicitations for Literature they receive. As some have already said Gerard Flurry's is no Garner Ted and his very poor, uninspiring, and lackluster pretense as the main Key of David presenter is the chief handicap to getting more interest in the show worked up. 
There are whispers amongst the PCG members on Flurry's recent demand from the Pulpit. Most of the more sensible non-kool aid drinking people are asking "How can we afford a Plane"? However the hard core Flurryites are ecstatic that old 6-pack will be following in HWAs footsteps and will be the catalyst for the PCG to finally go to their Petra reward. Flurry was wise to throw the PETRA bone the the PCG members at the same time he asked for a Private Jet. Carrot and a Stick?

Dang! This has taken all of the joy out of attending these magnificent stage productions. No longer will we be able to sit there and listen to Paula screech and warble. I am so disappointed!

Flurry claims to have church members who can maintain his jet. Free slave labor is more like it. Students will be required to keep the jet clean, the hanger clean. Coeds will be fighting to be stewardesses so they can serve God's most important man as he flies first class around the world. Pretty soon we will hear about the sexcapades of the leader, his son and other bad boys from Edmond.

In my first year in WCG, I remember the minister said how the Work was in financial trouble and "We may have to sell the Falcon". I was really thinking small, I thought he meant the minister's Ford Falcon.
WCG in financial trouble talks about selling a private jet, PCG in financial trouble and insists on buying one...

I wonder about the in-flight alcohol selection. Dom Perignon, or Budweiser?

Guess I am missing something. Paula Malone can sing? Ha!

More to the point, IIRC, HWA got access to political offices via Leopold III at first, then via philantropy.
If Flurry cant even afford a private jet, how's he going to throw money around to gain those audiences?

Yes, he had sent out a letter on February 3 per a PCG friend of mine saying God is behind the plane purchase and they will cut back on TV stations that don't bring them much viewing as well as on the concert series. He said in the letter the plane is needed is to meet with Jeroboam (Trump) and other world leaders as HwA did back in the 80's.

Since when do "professional" singers use iPads during concert performances? Tacky beyond belief! But this is a Church of God after all. Tacky is its middle name.

This is such B.S. There is no way that most countries will ever let Gerald Flurry or anyone else from PCG enter into there country. This is not the 70's or 80's. Can you imagine Flurry meeting with someone from Egypt, China, or Turkey?

They don't seem to have enough money to pay there way in? Can they buy an open door? Stay tuned....

I understand that a new AirForce One is being built for Jereboam ,I mean President Trump.Now if Jerry plays his cards right he may even,when he meets the Donald,talk a deal and get the old one at a bargain basement price.It's called the art of the deal Jerry.
And it will be large enough to fly all HQ staff to Petra when the time comes.
Of course we will save First Class for you.
Of course.

A spelling correction seems to be in order. They will take their MASSAGE (not message) around the world. Isn't that what Herbie did? Take his daughter and a dildo on board?

I wonder if the City of Edmond will let brother jerry fly his private jet out of the cult compound's air strip? Does anybody know the take off length for a Lear/Gulfstream type jet? I think they probably would have to lengthen the airstrip and pave it with asphalt.
How would the local non-PCG Edmonites like to hear the roving Prophet roaring overhead as he takes his message around the word?

Connie Schmidt - Thank you for those Lyrics. Laugh my pants off.

If Mr. Flurry needs a jet for a short undeveloped runway, he needs the new Pilatus PC24. Certification expected by the end of 2017.

This jet is designed to land on gravel, grass, or blacktop.

He needs a jet to fly him to brewery tours.

It may also be handy to fly him to Ireland to visit Irish pubs.

I met Will Malone, Ryan's father, when he was a PCG minister, before he croaked. Boy, what a grumpy jerk. I spoke to a member of his congregation who told me he was always like that. Everyone knew it. I would have been thrown out in a instant if I was half as much as grumpy as he was. What a double standard. The Elites in that church can get away with "murder".

Very old people wanting a plane or similar is common. They are trying to compensate for their physical, mental decline. I saw this with my own father.
If people have been growing as a Christian, their character is the source of their pride and worth. Not some fancy plane, power or similar.

Boys and Girls, Good Evening or whatever the clock in your house reads. I can't make any sense out of the durability of any of the splinter groups. How can all the Herbie Look-a-Likes survive by contending for maybe 50,000 former WWCOG members? At some point Flurry's generation of pastors and long time members are going to die and they are the last remaining link to HWA. The younger generations have no allegiance to the original group and studies show us that high control religious groups don't appeal to younger people who are more cynical, and more able to think for themselves as well as using the internet to dig up the dirt.
One of the other groups sharing Second Adventist teachings are Jehovah Witnesses, the latest Polling data claims less than 35% of the "born-ins" stay with the JWs.
Are the leaders of the splinters so convinced that the end is near that they surmise; why do missionary work to pick up new members?
Flurry's group spends like there is no tommorow quickly rebuilding the tenets of the WWCOG, concert hall, college, jet?, and they are losing members like a blow-out tire loses air, something has to give?
Reading the announcement of the up coming feasts, the text said that the "Dynamic" Gerald Flurry will preach at all sites. If this stiff, no charisma, dork is dynamic, then those who are not dynamic must be dead.
I enjoy your site, thanks for making all this info available.

Is it just me or does anyone else imagine that Flurry and his pals and their lovely wives, will be catting around he feast sites in the business jet he despwretly wants? I don't mean to be cruel but as I scanned the organizational chart of Pastors, where they serve and what they do, I was shocked how old, all but a few happened to be. Secondlly, and I know this is purely superficial, nevertheless these 50-70 folks are conspicuous in how plain or just plain ugly they happen to look. I'm hoping it was the camera and lighting that made them appear that way.
