American Thanksgiving is fast approaching. A day filled with cool crisp temperatures (usually), football, turkey, stuffing, and other gastronomic wonders. A day filled with thanks for things seen and unseen and for blessings immeasurable.
It is also a time for certain COG splinter groups to start their anti-Thanksgiving messages which quickly lead to tirades against Christmas and New Years.
The Obedient Church of God states:
All the other COGS (Churches of God) have wandered out of the ways of God into the spiritual wilderness of: Darkness, confusion, and the adoption of Pagan ways, including the settler's Corn God Festival, cloaked under the name of thanksgiving. It is the "same" trap of Pagan ways that the original Israelites fell back into, via adding practices to God's Bible, which is exactly what all the COGS including TPM have done.
Some who have left the COG and still hold to Armstrongite mind-speak and have aligned with Messianic Judaism believe this guy:
Why do we need another fall harvest Festival?! God has given us Sucote (Lev. 23:33-44). It seems apparent that to keep Sucote, and then to keep, only 30 or so days later, another harvest day of thanks to God, is not only repetitious but very strange. Thanksgiving Day is an outright copy of Sucote. The Counterfeiter has struck again! Did you ever wonder why the majority of God's People don't keep the days He has designated as holy? The majority are deceived by Satan. The majority also keep Thanksgiving Day. For those of us whom He has called out of Babylon, this ought to be cause for concern. Seed of Abraham
Why is Armstrongism filled with such grumpy sad little people? They are not happy about anything.
