But wouldn't anyone who visits Bob's websites be tipped off? I'm only speculating, but perhaps the "famine of the word" (which Bob thinks means he will be silenced, probably by internet censorship) means the information can't be made public. So, it looks like you must be in the CCOG or you won't know when to go to Petra. <br /><br />Hosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285219921252563944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-47896132288500180962017-01-10T10:05:13.765-08:002017-01-10T10:05:13.765-08:00It might be more realistic to be the Centralia Chu...It might be more realistic to be the Centralia Church of God, heh.RSKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-69329614320079750642017-01-10T06:34:35.707-08:002017-01-10T06:34:35.707-08:00The alleged "Church Eras" is just more p...The alleged "Church Eras" is just more phoniness of the WCG and spinoffs.<br /><br />Glad to see a reference to William Miller, the Baptist nut from VT that got quite a following in New England. Researchers can buy a copy of "The Small Sects in America" by Elmer T. Clark (1949 ed).<br /><br />My copy I happily picked up in MA in a sale. The first edition was from 1937 and carried a large list of the Adventist sects. The Millerite movement of the 1840s collapsed when Christ was a no show in 1844. The WCG can be traced directly to this crazy time. So can the JWs.<br /><br />There is an online copy of "The Days of Delusion" (1924) by Clara Sears. It spells out the madness of the Millerite movement. I lived in NH where the first 7th day church was founded in Washington, NH. It is still in use by the SDA's. I've visited the church a few years back.<br /><br />I was interesting to read of folks from the early 1800s having their lives destroyed by a false prophet and then another crackpot (HWA) starting up another ripoff racket to in turn destroy the lives of folks like myself a century and a half later.<br /><br />Jim<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-78315740698008526502017-01-09T21:20:02.198-08:002017-01-09T21:20:02.198-08:00The scary, manipulative rhetoric usually invokes s...The scary, manipulative rhetoric usually invokes some of their internal cultic babble. All of these groups want to lay exclusive claim to the Philadelphians. William Miller taught that the Laodicean era actually began in the 1840s, and from all reports, there was always much more naturally occurring brotherly love in COG-7 than in WCG if for no other reason, because of the difference in the authority structure.<br /><br />Most of these "leaders" wouldn't know a Philadelphian if they saw one. Rather than being a factual descriptive, that has been reduced to a moronically repeated advertising term which they all use to describe their own members. As such, even if there were such things as church eras, it has become meaningless. It's something that only an outsider would be able to objectively observe or apply, and Philadelphian behavior is certainly not something that would be based on coercion or fear.<br /><br />In fact, it's something that we, the troubleshooters of the movement, would be better equipped to discern, as in "Boy howdy! You can look high, and you can look low, but the members of that (insert acronym here) surely are all Philadelphian!"<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-68353498070884919532017-01-09T19:28:17.981-08:002017-01-09T19:28:17.981-08:00But I don't want to be in the "Philadelph...But I don't want to be in the "Philadelphia Church of God". <br /><br />Philly sucks as a town.
