If a judge, executive board member, or politicial senses a conflict of interest, or that he/she might damage a good cause, in some cases, they might recuse themselves.<br /><br />You have to wonder about Weinerdude. Apparently he reveres HWA, and his legacy. However, in spite of the embarrassment of having been caught with his fingers in the church till, and failing to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, he just can't bring himself to recuse himself or fade into obscurity for the sake of the Armstrong movement. He keeps on spewing damaging things which cause sane people to ridicule something that most of us realize is actually quite ridiculous, but which their insiders revere and cling to as if it were life itself.<br /><br />With such sabotaging egos, who could even wonder why there are so many splinters?<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-337043436061407622013-06-06T04:31:50.385-07:002013-06-06T04:31:50.385-07:00It is much easier to look back and weave a tale of...It is much easier to look back and weave a tale of what God did than to project ahead and get it even close to right on what God is going to do. Did is easier than will do.<br /><br />"I was wrong" in Ron's world can just as easily translated as "God tricked me."<br /><br />But then God tricked everyone who ever came in contact with WCG and the Armstrongs and Tkaches. Rather than admit it was all ridiculous 700+ splinter groups decide to spend the rest of their lives looking back at what no God ever had a hand in and weave more tales of what He did. <br /><br />This God must have originally said, "I will build my churches, tons of them, all different and all led by different kinds of loons and sociopaths, and the gates of hell won't be able to contain them."<br /><br />(Not that there is a hell but you get my drift)<br /><br />M.T.CaldronsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
