Have you people got nothing better to do than to attack other Christians (in this instance the Living Church of God) who are actually telling you the truth about hidden phallic symbolism within the Christian churches?<br /><br />This is NOT just the Living Church of Gods interpretation! Read the following quote - (that's if the ignorant 'Christian' rabid rabble on this forum can actually read above that of the level of a 6 year old) - <br /><br />Hargrave Jennings (1817-1890) a British Freemason, Rosicrucian and author on occultism and esotericism, talks about phallic symbols in his book 'Phallicism, Celestial and Terrestrial, Heathen and Christian:' <br /><br /><br />"The spires and pinnacles with which our old churches are decorated indeed, all uprights, including all the architectural families, and the varieties of tors, towers, and steeples, the especial mark and glory of Christian building, come from these ancient symbols. They are everywhere indicative of the Phallus, or index-finger denoting the “Fire”, the aspiring fire, against the inclination of gravity, which was the first vitalized idea, or Idol, worshiped magically and philosophically, the enlivening, godlike Power.” <br /><br />(Hargrave Jennings, Phallicism: Celestial and Terrestrial; Heathen and Christian and its Connection with the Rosicrucian and the Gnostics and its foundation in Buddhism, p. 72, 1884), (Hargrave Jennings, Rosicrucian and Gnostic Meanings Of The Obelisk, Pyramids, And Phallic Monuments, 1884) <br /><br />http://www.jesusisfreedom.net/secret-worship-to-sun-god-ra-in-churches-and-temples.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-39550768270133952062013-05-04T14:18:26.451-07:002013-05-04T14:18:26.451-07:00Crude?

Before making their remarks, they should determine whether the obelisks were intended to be gay or homosexual obelisks, or straight, heterosexual obelisks!<br /><br />In other words, do a little more research!

Davy Crockett III's ridiculous article condemning obelisks I feel renewed shame and embarrassment that I ever associated myself with HWA, Meredith, LCG, Thiel, etc. <br /><br />Like many cult followers I was tricked into following them under false and deceitful premises.<br /><br />Stop reading Alexander Hislop's The Two Babylons! It is complete nonsense, as Ralph Woodrow in his book, The Babylon Connection?, proved.<br /><br />From xHWA at http://xhwa.blogspot.com/2008/12/babylon-connection.html<br /><br />"What it comes down to is that Hislop took ancient myths from around the world, or even artistic renderings of mythical figures, distorted the information to his liking, and then attributed it to Nimrod… oh, and Semiramis… and Cain, Noah, Adam, Satan, and a host of other people. For example, on pages 7 through 9, Woodrow lists FIFTY NINE separate mythological, Biblical, and historical figures that Hislop claims are other names for Nimrod. If taking three pages to list the various identities of Nimrod isn’t fantastical enough for you, Hislop simultaneously attributes those very same identities to other people.<br /><br />One example is in that Hislop in various pages of his book referred to Semiramis as being Nimrod’s wife, and again his daughter, and again his mother, and again that Nimrod had two mothers, and again nine mothers. And this is history? Woodrow counters with evidence that Semiramis and Nimrod did not even live in the same century together!"<br /><br />This is where Crockett gets his absurd ideas about the sinfulness of obelisks. Alas, HWA liked Hyslop's writings and Armstrongism is saturated with this sort of madness.Redfox712https://www.blogger.com/profile/17734930967002040931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-80364517152694269862013-05-01T23:11:03.172-07:002013-05-01T23:11:03.172-07:00why all the infatuation with penises?

As part of the attractions, please construct an obelisk. Design and construct a rubber ring capable of motion, just before noon every day, and just prior to midnight. At approximately 11:57, strategically placed motors should begin moving the ring up and down the obelisk while Foghat's "Slow Ride" plays on the P.A. system. At precisely 12:00 there should be a forceful eruption of some sort of biodegradable material from the tip of the obelisk. Hopefully, some of this material will occasionally splash on to the LCG buildings and staff.<br /><br />Hah! Then perhaps Rod will be justified in his complaints about obelisks!<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-68863131729833778812013-05-01T15:46:30.015-07:002013-05-01T15:46:30.015-07:00Well, I guess all beef hot-dogs should be out of t...Well, I guess all beef hot-dogs should be out of the question for consumption in Armstrongism right?

There is no way our society compares to those of antiquity. No one worships either. Seriously. It's just as crazy to think that Armstrongism goes bat crazy over anything that looks like a pillar.
