God Has Personally Given Malm An "Obligation" To Warn The COG's

Apostle Malm is attempting to deepen his standing with COG folk now by proclaiming he has a personal 'obligation from God'.  He is now the COG's new "Watchman' who is crying aloud and lamenting the grievous sins of COG members.

It is not going to be long now till this guy officially starts his own splinter group.  He has  previously told people that he does not have enough money to hold a Feast site and in the meantime they are to attend with their regular fellowship of choice. It will not be long till he starts sending out tapes, then there will be church meeting someplace, money will start flowing in and he will be legitimized.

This guy is not the innocent COG member he appears to be.  There is something deeper going on in his mind and it is NOT good!

Thank you for your concern. I have an obligation from God [as do all godly persons] to: Is 58:1 “Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob [Israel and spiritual Israel] their sins.” and again Ez 33:6 “But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.” Someone MUST speak up! I lament that so few are! If more people cried out and exposed sin, there would be less of it around! James

PCG: God Wants To Make Your Children Sweat!

After hearing Michael Maynard's horror story with his children at Philadelphia Church of God summer camps, and the stories on Exit Support Network, you have to shake your head in disbelief that some so called minister in PCG would make such a statement as follows:

In five weeks, 144 teenagers from around the world will arrive on the campus of Herbert W. Armstrong College for our annual youth camp. Our camp is designed to ensure these young people go home mentally charged and focused, their attitudes and spirits refreshed and renewed.
We also plan to send them home utterly exhausted.

For three weeks, these teens will spend their days mountain biking, canoeing and practicing archery, as well as playing basketball, water polo, soccer, softball, volleyball and flag football. They will walk, and sometimes jog, between activities, as well as to breakfast, lunch and dinner. In the evenings they will engage in other taxing activities, including a track and field event and camp dances. And if all that activity isn’t strenuous enough, much of it will occur in daytime temperatures hovering in the mid 90s.

If you’re like me, simply reading that paragraph is enough to make you sweat. As much as I love sports and the outdoors, the thought of spending six to seven hours a day out in the sizzling Oklahoma weather chasing balls, paddling across lakes and biking through ravines isn’t nearly as appealing as it once was. But to the teens who attend camp, God says this three-week display of physical strength and endurance is glorious and honorable!

 You can read His admiration in Proverbs 20:29: “The glory of young men is their strength.”

Obviously, good physical health is an important and praiseworthy quality that we all should be striving for. But isn’t it interesting that God identifies explicitly physical strength and energy as a defining and glorious quality of youth? In God’s mind, being a physically fit and healthy teenager—a young man (or woman) with strength and agility, someone who is robust and energetic—is a splendid and honorable accomplishment.

Parents, this is a state of being that God wants all children and teens to experience!

This is why, beyond merely seeking to make camp fun, we have our teens engage in so much physically demanding activity. Together with the high-quality meals and energy-replenishing snacks we feed them, the slew of sports and outdoor activities serve to improve the overall physical health and strength of the teens. It works, too. In virtually every case, teens depart camp stronger, fitter and healthier than when they arrived. Beyond the short-term goal of improving their health, though, our goal during the three-week camp is to encourage our teens to embrace healthy and active living as a way of life. (These words of 'wisdom' are by Brad McDonald)

 How could any sane minded parent allow their child to be abused by these fools?  But never fear, PCG will inculcate the 'word of god ' into their little minds so that they can become PCG zombies that turn their backs on parents, brothers and sisters and relatives that have left PCG.  Endless hours of PCG indoctrination of their weird beliefs.  Girls learning how to be proper wives who submit and clean house better than all those lazy laodicean women out there.

Of course, our effort to cultivate strong, healthy teens must be balanced, and must be complemented with similarly strenuous mental and spiritual exercises. This is why, in addition to all the physically demanding activities at our youth camps, teens take Bible classes, and classes on leadership and womanhood. It’s why we teach them public speaking and ballroom dance. It’s the reason we have them perform on stage and encourage them to play music and embrace art. And it’s why, particularly in this technology-ridden age of perpetual distractions, we encourage our teens to develop a love for reading, study and meditation.

This cult just get's sicker by the minute!

We'll Take Care of You, and Pray for You Too!

A Very Personal and Private Open Letter to the Grace International Fellowship, Formerly Known as Prince, Leadership .

 

Greetings in the Name of the Triune Jesus who includes most, but obviously not all, in the wonderous works done in His name.

 

Nearing the traditional retirement age in America and realizing you took me seriously when I joked the Worldwide Church of God retirement program seems to be for the minister to drive into a tree at 65 years old and 65 miles an hour, I wished to make a simple plea.

 

Crazy me, years ago when I asked in a Refresher Seminar if the WCG was meeting its obligations to full time pastors to prepare for their retirement, Mr. Ron Kelly assured us all, "we will take care of you."  Whew...that really was encouraging.  We had to be patient and trust the Administration, but no problem.  They all knew that the NT said, something about saying, "be warmed and be filled but give not to them what is needed..." , so I relaxed over doubts about what I was hearing  and obviously it was simply my carnal nature getting the best of me. 

 

When terminated, Mr. Curtis May of the Reconciliation Dept said he's pray for me and wished me luck, which sounded a lot like that scripture, but I realize it was just in the way I was hearing it.  No one would really do that and not have it seem hilarious coming from the "Reconciliation Dept."   That would be crazy!

 

Now I understand it doesn't matter and Church was never about the money, but I estimated that I (sorry about that) inspired the giving of millions...over 40 million in my own personal journey through "we will take care of you."   My parents and 30+ other family members, mostly ending up as ministers, elders, deacons and deaconesses all over the place gave hundred of thousands I am pretty sure.  They have all gone back to their roots or moved on to happy slappy mega-churches.  I, on the other hand, now rub people the right way by teaching and practicing therapeutic massage.  I get so tempted to declare myself a Prophet, Apostle, Witness or Really Special Jesus Person, but it's just not in me.  Three Hundred Thousand folks have downloaded my articles on things I seemed to have missed in Harmony of the Gospels Class and Epistles of Paul.  Well actually, things I seemed to have missed from Genesis to Revelation in my education by the experts at WCG.  One guy wrote me to tell me words can get you killed and another said I was just bitter, but honest, I just ever wanted to know the truth about life and still am working on that one.  One did say I was just another "High Priest of Marduk," and I thanked him as I have not had a religious title for years now and it feels really good.

 

Mr. Bernie Schnippert, who was legal counsel for the WCG, told me he was really sorry but he could do nothing for those who didn't get happy slappy over Jesus and were still in the employ of the church through all the transitions. It's nice how he retired, moved to the Pacific Northwest and all I hear about how nice it is to be near his family and grand kids.  I got marooned in South Carolina and everyone is a bit scattered due to Church, Church, Church but that's fine. I never thought I'd get to live in the deep south and in the Bible Belt to boot which serves as a constant reminder of the fear, guilt and shame Jesus uses to keep us all in line.  Trust me, "Pray, Obey, Pay and Stay" is just as bad here as anywhere...Gnome sayin??  I asked a few guys who stayed and still are with WCG now CGI, or even UCG, PCG or RCG, if they believed it all and they said "No, but I want to get to retirement."  Sheesh...I should have pulled that stunt!  Oh well, proof that the children of light are more stupid than the children of Satan at times.

 

Anyway, at the time, I did what you told me to do with my severance agreement.  I took it to a lawyer friend but it was kinda bad news for me it seemed.  She asked me if this document really came from a church?  I said yes and she said, and I do apologize ahead of time for this but her quote was kinda cool..."You're fucked."   Whew...after fanning myself and telling her to please please not used bad words like that, she said, "Ok, well this is not to your advantage."   "That's a lot better I told her."  Well I mean the way she broke the news to me was better, not the actual news contained therein.

 

First of all, and let me be clear, I know this letter is just between you and me so I do understand a few things about the attitudes the dear brethren have towards use despicable minister types.  I know they think we deserve to go down in flames and love to mock us as God's chosen ministers.  We know the Bible tells us to expect this.  We know they think we were all insincere bastards just in it for the money, power and control but we know this is not so.  I became somewhat of a bastard sinner nutcase AFTER my Church of God experience, but don't think that should be held against me.  Transitions are messy and like Cher said once, "Life is not easy. Mine has been messy at times, but it is just me doing the best I can."  Somehow that comforts me. 

 

Anyway...I think you have stashed millions somewhere from the sale of assets my family and hundreds of thousands of others bought for you guys.  I can't imagine that you are using it all up with only five of you actually drawing a real retirement from it.  Can I have some please?  Maybe around $5-600 a month just for rent and groceries.  I'm not asking for medical insurance. While I don't have any and can't get any, I feel pretty good and if I blow a gallbladder or get some dumbass later in life disease, I will just agree to let go and enter the Kingdom. I mean after all, we're all just dying to get to heaven anyway so no biggie.  I can bite on a wooden stick for pain and if reasonably close to the surface, can drink whiskey, like in the old days and just cut it out or off.  Teeth come out pretty well with a well placed blow so again, it's not like there aren't solutions to health challenges.  People with insurance for such things really just lack faith in God's healing and Jesus Grace so really, it puts me in a much more spiritually superior position.  It feels good to act like I know it all.  Know what I'm sayin????

 

Ok, well lots of thoughts to share.  I promise this will be kept between us.  I anxiously away your proposal to help me get through.  Oh shit.. (oopse sorry, I'd be afraid to give sermons these days for all the new words I've learned since WCG days) ,I forgot you had me sign away Social Security because, well you know, "we will take care of you and we don't have to save it for you on ministerial salaries."  Pretty slick!!!  So if you could include another $50/month, that would help.  

 

Thanks so much!!! I know you will do the right thing for those who built your buildings, bought your groceries, houses, cars, vacations and funded your Holy Day sacrifices traveling all over the world for Jesus.  The Cruise for Jesus in the Fall was a great idea!  Trash the Festival but then take cruises talking about how evil it all was is brilliant!!!   How do you guys come up with this stuff?

 

Ok, shhhhhh.  This is just between us.  Bernie did say that if I talked badly about the Church and such, there would truly be no retirement at all.  We'd not want that and I'm sure that's not what YOU meant. I hate it when others speak for me and don't represent me accurately.  Actually I hate it when they do represent me accurately but that's another story I suppose.

 

Blessings and love to you all.  Let's Surprise God like Ted Johnston likes to do and handle this quickly and as Jesus would.  Since that crazy Jesus tricked me into coming into that nutty Wildworld Church of God, the least He can do is give us a glass of cool water getting over it all.

 

Thank you so much.  I can't wait to share your response with just a few close friends.

 

Warm regards in Him

Apostle Malm: "I'm Pouring Myself Out To Establish Credibility"

Armstrongism has a long tradition of men attempting to establish themselves with credible testimony and prophetic words.  So far every single one of them have turned out to be abysmal failures, liars and false prophets.  They came bearing slick words that sounded soothing and credible to some listeners trained in the catch phrases of Armstrongism.

Now, we are being retreated to James Malm who admits that he has been trying to 'establish doctrinal credibility." over the last several months.

I would have covered this before Passover. I just felt that I needed to establish some doctrinal credibility and build up to this with the Passover, Calendar, ULB, etc ariticles that I have been posting for the past two months, building a proper foundation first. I have been working very hard, pouring myself out daily; sometimes some things need a proper foundation before they are presented, to make them easier to understand. James

When you hear COG men saying this you can be guaranteed that soon they will be starting a splinter cult somewhere in the United States.  The US seems to be fertile ground for religious wackos seeking equally wacky followers who agree with their wacky message.

Apostle Malm has slowly been writing paper after paper, article after article, that are filled with COG specific doctrines.  He has been setting himself up as an authority on all things spiritual.  None of the COG's is keeping any of the holy days or sabbath right in his sight.  Therefore, they are all apostate laodicians who no longer hold all truth.  Only Apostle Malm is privy to the real truth on how things should be.

Like HWA. Meredith and other COG ministers, Apostle Malm does not hold information in commentaries or by non-COG writers to be worthy of checking out.  Knowledge cannot be gained by these men or their commentaries.

I do not hold with commentaries writtn by unconverted men as the Mishna. There is no difference between “servile’ and work of any kind. No work is to be done on any High Day or Sabbath: that would include cooking. Food preparation was allowed as Israel came out of Egypt as an “ox in the ditch”. That does not justify food preparation on other Holy Days nor on future ULB High Days. James

Like Ronnie Weinland, Apostle Malm does not like to be mocked.  So far he has not called fire down from heaven to consume his mockers like Weinland and Steven's have.  It's only a matter of time though.

It really seems that you are the sarcastic one; and that is one thing that causes serious and unnecessary offenses. I warn that I have no patience for unwarranted mocking. The 144,000 are sealed AFTER the tribulation [between the 6th and 7th seals]. What about all the other saints from Abel till now? I will be getting to this when I get back into prophecy. The world does NOT revolve around us; God has many others! 1 Ti 5;19 “Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. 20Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.” One must put all scripture together to see the whole picture. All elders that have a proven sin are to be publicly rebuked before all. James

I love how Armstrongism has produced a legion of men who think they are 'holier than thou.'  They have attained all knowledge that is relevant for salvation.  They know exactly what God wants.  They know who is in and who is out (you and most of the rest of the world). The best thing of all is that they continue to be made out to be fools.
