Big time. It may look good in paper, but communally they lost in the eyes of the membership. < i > <br /><br />I'm quite confident that 90-95% of LCGs membership has no idea that a lawsuit was ever filed against the church. And I attend with LCG. The lawsuit was never discussed or even acknowledged in public by the LCG leadership. If any "celebrating" is taking place, it's not with the general membership...because they don't know about the lawsuit. And I'm quiet certain that the general membership, even if they new about it, would fully support the leadership as well as the "win". People in LCG aren't naive and as stupid as you believe they are. They are mature Christian's who are focused on the mission of reaching the entire world with the Good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ while we have the time, opportunity and resources to do so. The great majority firmly trust these Godly (yet imperfect) men to do what is right, and they have not failed us yet. And I highly doubt that they will fail IF they stay focused on God and His commandments and the big picture of God's plan that He is working out here below for each and every one of us. The positive Godly fruits of this Work are evident in the eyes of the general membership.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-8827812605552014582016-08-11T18:27:11.062-07:002016-08-11T18:27:11.062-07:00People in LCG seriously get in trouble for toga pa...People in LCG seriously get in trouble for toga parties and singing songs from the 1940's?

Once I left, 99% of them didn't want to be friends any more which was really hard at first. <br /><br />Like you, I fell for all the LCG propaganda mentioned in your post. Boy! you were spot on in your quotes<br /><br />I remember being so surprised when I learned that the people outside LCG were kinder and the sermons were a thousand times better. It was like regaining my first love. Years in LCG under their abusive leadership with all those monotonous government sermons (LCG sermons are painful) had really left me feeling discouraged.<br /><br />I'm now in another COG and I feel spiritually nourished and at peace. I actually look forward to the Sabbath instead of dreading having to sit through another RCM sermon and worrying about what I say to whom in case one of Rod McNair's spies hears me and turns me in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-49476042043034049542016-08-10T23:19:25.617-07:002016-08-10T23:19:25.617-07:00I hear it's just as bad in United and COGWA D...<i> I hear it's just as bad in United and COGWA</i><br><br> Don't you realize you're a victim of Rod Meredith propaganda? He's been pounding that idea into your head for years. Why do you think he regularly criticizes the other churches? Because he's right? NO! Because he knows that if he can convince you how bad UCG or COGWA are, that you'll stay with LCG regardless of what he does, which is exactly what is happening. Like any good propagandist, he tells you what you want to hear: "We are the best" "The rest are Laodicean" "They're just a social group" "There's nothing wrong with youth activities, but we're serious" "We have the government of God" "We're more closely adhering to the teachings of Herbert Armstrong than anyone" "We're the only ones doing a real work". <br><br>After I left LCG, it took 7 months for my head to clear of all of this, NONE OF WHICH IS TRUE.

Time does not permit me to give all the details surrounding our situation, but I can assure you, I could write a book on it if I wanted to. These ministers we dealt with, were hell bent on dividing family and friends, while we remained quiet. Sermon after sermon was given, letter after letter was written about us. We said nothing to no one, and left. I lost many good friends because they refused to find out both sides of the story. It was easier to just severe decades of friendship I guess. Like you, it caused us lots of anguish. 7 years later, I still think about. I dont think you ever get over it (kind of like a death), but you move on. All I can stress is, dont throw out what you believe to be true and correct regarding God, and the Christian way of life we are called to. These ministers today, are doing nothing more than fullfilling prophecy (jeremiah 23 and others), so we should not be amazed at their behavior as they scatter and desomate Gods children. In due time, we will all be gathered back together into one fold, and these men that are charged with a task and abused the roll, will have to give an answer.

Anyone who listens to Meredith talking about his childhood love "Jimmy" can't help but pick up on the homoerotic overtones of how he and Jimmy "rolled around in the grass wrestling like two little bear cubs."<br /><br />In fact, Rod often cites the loss of his beloved Jimmy as the early crisis that got him wondering about God. "Why did God let Jimmy die?"<br /><br />Rod went on to write "The Plain Truth About Queer Men". In Rod's world, wearing a pink shirt made a man effeminate. What's hilarious about this is that LCR members today have noticed how often Lil' Jimmy Meredith (named after Rod's childhood love?) is seen wearing pink shirts or ties. When he does this, is he insulting his father, or just expressing his effeminate side?<br /><br />Rod hates homosexuals but started Global with the help of a man Imperial School students knew as a homosexual pedophile. Rod hates homosexuals but has kept several strangely effeminate and never-married men as top aides. Is it that Rod feels more masculine by comparison when he is around these more effeminate men? Or is it that Rod enjoys the effeminate company of closeted homosexuals?<br /><br />Please give Rod McNair credit for having what appears to be a far more normal and balanced family than Rod Meredith. Rod may be a very stupid and very sheltered ministurd, but he is one of the better masculine role models among LCR ministurds.

Jesus came not only to pay the penalty of sin, but to set us free from man-made religion.<br />There is to be no one between us and Jesus, He is our judge and will judge us according to our obedience to God’s instruction and our doing what he (Jesus) said. He will not judge you by what some moron who claims to be God’s chosen said. You will have to answer to what you do.<br />The Pharisees claimed the authority to add to and subtract from the Torah, which Moses said no one was to do. Jesus constantly broke their rules and regulations, from his first miracle to the day they had him killed. Jesus told his followers they were to do what Moses said and not what the religious leaders of his day said (Hebrew Matthew 23:3 “All therefore whatsoever he (Moses) bid you observe, that observe and do.; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. Read Matthew 23 and see how Jesus felt about the religious dictators of his day. <br />This applies to all the man-made religions today.

This was an army commander able to declare soil holy and josuah needed to bow for this holy man. God did not send an army of angels to help invade the promised land. This was the most prominent of original tribes coming to aid josuah. Deborah was a prophetess from that same tribe of hebrews overseeing the holy place in petra. The temple jews wanted to edit out that story leaving a ridiculous story line for josuah. That is the gap the book of enoch fills. It is the true story of petra and the hebrew tribe whose leader had more authority than aaron and josuah.
