Of course not. That would be adultery. Likewise a man should not put others before self. All this give talk is the predatory foxes in the church talking to their chickens.<br />In practise, it means the same group always doing the giving, and the same group doing all the getting.<br /><br />The church-slave-givers are asked to work on the plantation for the benefit of the takers, with Rod being the chief plantation master (or is it Pharaoh), and his ministers and bootlickers being the slave drivers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-60861623911566395432017-02-03T15:21:25.087-08:002017-02-03T15:21:25.087-08:00Rod says, "Dear brethren, let us all try to d...Rod says, "Dear brethren, let us all try to develop an even greater sense of love, warmth and enthusiasm, and a total outflowing and “giving” spirit in the way we interact with another.

Literally.<br /><br />I'll give him points for "enthusiasm" but it's enthusiasm for money, power, control and the tribulation. He's also pretty enthusiastic about becoming a spirit being so he can strike those who don't submit to him with bolts of lightening.<br /><br />When he speaks of taking care of "self" first and others last, I almost want to puke. What a hypocritical liar. <br /><br />Do people in LCG really buy this? Or are they all sitting around rolling their eyes?

You are to treat them like family, but in return, they will only treat you like family if they deem you worthy. Climbing that ladder to the top is all that is on their mind.

But when you think about what to do—as most of you have—you must always keep in mind the three basics: (1) Which church is preaching more fully the complete Truth of God? (2) Which church is actually doing the Work of God more completely? (3) Which church is teaching and practicing the genuine Government of God in the church more fully than others?</i><br /><br />1. If "Truth of God" means "what HWA taught" then COGWA is teaching much more of it than LCG is preaching. So are a few other of the tiny little splinters. LCG's "upgrades" to HWA's teaching actually undermine a lot of what HWA taught about the end of the age, but if you are spiritually asleep or dead like most LCG members you probably won't even notice.<br /><br />2. If "Work of God" means preaching the "Truth of God" then LCG is disqualified because its Work preaches far less truth than some others. Even if "Work of God" simply means "outflowing concern" and "spending money on media instead of church activities" then UCG has recently snuck ahead of LCG, and PCG is ahead of them both. No, PCG isn't preaching what HWA preached, but then again neither is LCG.<br /><br />3. Practicing the genuine Government of God? Let's see. God the Father doesn't give top jobs to liars or perverts. God the Father doesn't turn one angel against another angel by spreading lies and half-truths. God the Father doesn't let His Sons get away with un-Godly behavior while still continuing to rule in the Family business. LCG does all of these, which are characteristics of the Government of Satan, which rules from the top-down by spreading lies and hatred and fear. <br /><br />LCG members, why will you not see that Rod is telling on himself, just like Dave Pack so often does? If you look at the three areas Rod asks you to, you will have to conclude that LCG is not anywhere close to being the best place a Christian could be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-79619219144851714852017-02-02T07:02:14.854-08:002017-02-02T07:02:14.854-08:00They really ARE family.

Some people would be freaked out by seeing a bearded person in the "women's" restroom, so such people (rare though they are) would often use a men's restroom. Just like a born male taking estrogen, with bosoms and long hair, etc., could legally use a women's restroom.<br /><br />Rod has taken the standard conservative Republican position that the new NC law is a good one, and that it's better for hairy transsexuals to scare the women in a women's restroom than to use the men's room and remain low-key.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-43757474548280528492017-02-02T03:50:43.131-08:002017-02-02T03:50:43.131-08:00Armstrongism totally destroys the real concept of ...Armstrongism totally destroys the real concept of family and attempts a very poor substitute: it's self!<br /><br />Loving families were sabotaged by separation, as in all cults. The ones who became zombies pulled away from their shocked relatives, because "You now have precious knowledge that the world, including your unconverted relatives, doesn't understand. So, God's church is now your family, and it's a much deeper bond". <br /><br />If that were not enough, the child beating principles then kicked in, causing a lifetime of having to deal with PTSD for kids raised in the church, a condition which is aggravated by having to be in the presence of the zombies any time throughout one's adulthood. This completes their family obliteration program, because "unconverted" relatives have deep memories of all the abuse they witnessed, and that's all they want to talk about during visits even decades later.<br /><br />And, of course, Rod Meredith was a staunch advocate of all of the teachings and policies that produced these conditions, which are still very much "game on" in all the ACOGs. So, he's got a lot of damned gall even using the term "family". From his lips, it becomes an example if Orwellian doublespeak.<br /><br />Next time your ACOG leader is preaching on family, and says "God's church has an app for that!", run if you can! Their "app" is full of virusses, trojan horses, and worms!<br /><br />BB<br />Byker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.com
