He created the dinosaurs and other similar life, but his creations could not reproduce because Satan himself is sterile and cannot reproduce. HWA's proof of all this??

Never heard any more about that after 1969. GTA even made trips to Florida to report on rocket launches. The embarrassing pronouncement was conveniently swept under the lumpy rug.Allen C.

The only self-effacing guru I've ever encountered was Jerry Garcia of the <br />Grateful Dead, a reluctant guru who knew that his audience hung on his every word, and was therefore extremely careful to avoid or limit his comments between songs during the band's sets so that nobody would misapply his words in their lives and go in bad or harmful directions. Yet, here was a highly intelligent individual as manifested by the rare interviews he did for magazine articles, and by the opinions of his peers. No wonder HWA didn't like the rock and roll!

(That's why there never was any evolution, btw.)<br /><br />This went on for, like, 3 billion years, and by this time Yahweh was getting tired. That's when Baal came along and said, "Yaknow, there's an easier way. What do you think all those eggs are for?"<br /><br />Then Yahweh slapped himself upside, had a V8, fixed everything up to be self-replicating, and took a well-deserved break. That's how we got sex and the sabbath in one fell swoop. True story.<br /><br />Not coincidentally, that's the most popular TV show in heaven. Sex & the Sabbath has just been renewed for it's 5,997th season. Word is they're going to end the show after the 6,000th season with a big finale, which is what Jesus has been waiting for all this time. (Jesus has always known the day and the hour, how else would he watch? What no one knows is the <i>season</i> when your favorite show is gonna get canceled.) Word on the street is, that's when Jesus is <i>finally</i> gonna get off the couch, use the bathroom, and then come back to earth, so get ready to flee in 6 months!<br /><br />Heck, it's no worse than any of the COG theologies.Head Ushernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-41973324384043671622013-06-12T04:59:05.781-07:002013-06-12T04:59:05.781-07:00I think that Armstrong's ego was one reason he...I think that Armstrong's ego was one reason he had to speak with authority on every subject.

I am quite sure that in most of the ACOGs, "Mr. Armstrong taught....." still pretty much ends most discussions and/or quells most rebellions. <br /><br />He decided that gap theory creation was the way in which God did His work, and then extrapolated, hypothecated, and speculated to fill in the details so (most of) the ministers could be their usual know it all selves in the field.<br /><br />Armstrongism was very much a personality cult, and the unabashed worship of Herb was idolatry. Rather than correct this, some are doing a dastardly job of replicating it so that a new generation gets to be infected.<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-45463369745223354112013-06-11T18:51:37.298-07:002013-06-11T18:51:37.298-07:00Why would Yahweh waste 500 million years on dinosa...Why <i>would</i> Yahweh waste 500 million years on dinosaurs? Better question; why would Yahweh waste 4.5 billion years if the whole idea was to create humans on the planet just 6,000 years ago? <br /><br />Of course, that's assuming there is a Yahweh...and that's really all it is, an assumption with nothing to prop it up with other than tales out of a book that's not even a book.<br /><br />Hey, and that's besides presuming things that the collection of compiled and edited pieces of ancient Hebrew documents don't even say. Sterile dinosaurs...presumed from those pieces of writings that don't even mention dinosaurs. <br /><br />The creation of angelic beings are presumed in the same way when they actually just suddenly appear in the <i>'book'</i> without any explanation at all. Cherubs too, which were depicted before the Jews wrote the 'bible book' as crouching lions with wings.<br /><br />But, no matter what, it's gotta be true, right - it's in th' bible.
