Mark Armstrong Speaks About His Mother's Last Days



To all concerned,
I am sorry to report that my sweet Mother, Shirley Ann Armstrong died peacefully at 3:17 am this morning. The news apparently flew throughout the internet almost immediately, but I wanted to add some context to this terribly sad event.

Most of Mom’s immediate family was able to be at her side before the end came, and for that we are all very thankful.
The days leading up to October 16th were some of the best she’d had in months. I was able to talk to her at least three times by phone while traveling, passing along the great news that Michael and Melody are expecting. She said, “Tell them congratulations for me.” She also spoke lucidly with them and with Sonja by phone, exchanging information about each other’s circumstances as you’d expect.. Wednesday the 15th was a particularly good day for Mom. She was up for breakfast, lunch and dinner, feeding herself and expressing her gratitude to my brother David who was staying with her.
Mom never used a wheelchair or was confined to her bed. She got where she was going, on one of our arms, on her own two feet right up to the last day. Though she really never felt good or energetic for at least the last two years, she was never in any agonizing pain, and for that we are eternally grateful.
When I got word, pre-dawn in Lake Tahoe that Mom was in the midst of a life-ending emergency, I was able to secure an early morning flight and arrive at her side by about 8:30 pm last night. Matthew and his sons Andrew and Hunter had arrived and visited with her earlier. She was only in a semi-conscious state, but I’m sure she was aware of my presence and hope that was a comfort. She held on until my Son, Michael and his wife, Melody along with her only granddaughter, Sonja and her husband, Matt arrived shortly after 1:00 am. We all had the opportunity to speak and be close with her until her breathing became labored.
I was able to reach beneath the covers, take her hand in mine and say a prayer thanking God for her, for all she’s done for all of us and all she’s meant to so many; for the fine example of sterling character that defined her whole life; for being the rock and the glue that has held the Hammer and the Armstrong families together; and asked God to take good care of her. After saying “Amen” she yawned once or twice, and breathed no more.
She’s safe in God’s Hands, she didn’t suffer terribly as many do. Her time had come, as it must have been God’s will. Surely it is a time of great sadness and we’re all missing her already. But we also have a tremendous amount for which to be thankful and can rejoice in the life we were blessed to share with her. We loved her dearly, as did everyone who crossed her path. She took care of us, kept us all in line, and we’re going to try to stay that way. She was a wonderful wife and an inspiration to my Dad, Garner Ted Armstrong, and crucial to the Evangelistic Association and the ICG.
Heartfelt thanks to everyone for the prayers and well-wishes. We believe they were answered, according to His will. The funeral will be held at Croley Funeral Home at 401 N. Center, Gladewater, TX on Wednesday, October 21 with the time yet to be established.

Shirley Hammer Armstrong Dies

Shirley is standing next to GTA in second brow on the left.

According to two sources, Shirley Hammer Armstrong has died.  Wife of Garner Ted Armstrong, the disgraced splinter cult leader of the Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association, Intercontinental Church of God and Church of God International.  Shirley was of the Hammer dynasty they provided much of the property and money for Big Sandy to be developed.

Giant Asteroid Will Cause Obama and Hillary To Take Over United States!



Bob Thiel sunk even further down the rabbit hole with a post he had up the other day.  He claims he received this information from a reader and that he does not agree with it.....YET.... he has to post it. Its stupid as hell to read and YET he posted it.  If he disagreed with it so much then why post it?  Its not like anyone in a COG would believe this kind of stuff!  Oh......wait................they do, so lets add more fuel to the fire!

The "news" Thiel was eager to post is that a giant asteroid was going to hit the earth causing a giant tsunami.  The force will be so strong that the United States will be literally split in half.  President Obama will then take over and run one of the half's while Hillary Clinton will take over and run the other half.

WTF??????????????????

DEAR SIR ,
SIGNS & EVIDENCE OF JESUS COMING. THIS PROVES JESUS IS REAL GOD GREAT ASTEROID GOING TO HIT AMERICA IN 2014 MANY MILLIONS WILL DIE.12 POINT EARTHQUAKE AND 1000 FT TSUNAMI. AMERICA WILL BE DIVIDED IN TWO PARTS IN THIS EVENT.MUSLIM TEMPLE DOME OF THE ROCK IN ISRAEL WILL BE DESTROYED IN 12 POINT EARTH QUAKE. THREE DAYS DARKNESS COVERING WHOLE WORLD.EVERY ONE REPENT FROM SINS COME TO JESUS. (REVIVAL AND TRIBULATION STARTS AFTER THIS EVENT)

PROTECTION OF THE EARTH IS REMOVED BY JESUS THE LAST DAYS OF THE EARTH STARTING. MANY MIRACLES AND MANY WILL COME TO JESUS AND MANY WILL ACCEPTS JESUS AS GOD.

ONE PART OF AMERICA WILL BE LEAD BY OBAMA AND OTHER PART WILL BE LEAD BY HILLARY CLINTON AFTER THIS EVENT OF ASTEROID HITTING….
AND OBAMA WILL BE SOON SHOT DEAD…………..THESE ALL ARE PROPHECY WHICH I HEARD IT FROM GODS PEOPLE…………

So whats Thiel's excuse in posting this?

So why bother to post about it?

Because there are many false and heretical leaders that lead people astray on biblical prophecy. And it is not just Protestant-type rapturists.
Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat????????????????  What the hell is Bob Thiel?  He's a false heretical leader leading people astray!  Then to slap all other COG's across the face, Thiel points out that they are all IGNORANT morons that have no clue whatsoever about prophecy.
The Sardis and Laodicean Church of God groups do not understand prophecy, the work, enough of the truth, etc., and that is part of why they will have to go through the Great Tribulation. CG7, a group believed to represent Sardis, takes a preterist view that basically most end time prophecies were fulfilled long ago and are for the past. The Laodiceans have so many prophetic misunderstandings, that unless they repent and change (Revelation 3), they will not possibly know when the Great Tribulation will start until it is too late.

Of course Thiel and his little cult have all the answers to this dilemma.  He even points them towards an article on Petra.......which is about as stupid as the meteor splitting the coutnry in two and Obama and Hillary taking over.

Armstrongism..............never dull...........and completely daft!
