While some have gotten tired of the references to James Malm, I think we had better pay attention to his aspirations. This guy is so rabidly to the right in Armstrongism that he has gathered a small following. He admits that his goal is 1,000 people by the end of the year. He claims to have no aspirations to be preacher, but to remain as the Apostle - the messenger. Malm is no fly by night potential splinter cult leader. He is going after the disillusioned COG members from all the various splinter cults. These groups and individuals are looking for a strong voice that appeals to their interpretations of Armstrongism. Hence this comment:
There are also many smaller independent groups and many independent individuals standing alone.
All of the comments bellow have been made by Apostate Apostle Malm:
THE GREAT FALLING AWAY HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR DECADES AND IS NOW REACHING ITS CLIMAX
This is a very strong message on the apostasy that has been taking place since the mid 1960′s.
I am a person who has been granted some insight into the situation and who has seen the evil approaching. I have cried out a warning out of love for my God and his children. I know my strengths and my limitations. I am not qualified as an elder to shepherd a congregation, to council with people and to lead them on a one on one basis. My strength is to give a warning, to cry out, to call to repentance, to restore that which was lost; and to reveal that which has been hidden.
If I were a member of any one group I should be ignored by the others. I must remain above involvement in any separate group so that I may call out to all peoples and groups.
I am NOT trying to start any organization. I do believe that we are at a transitional phase when God is separating out his faithful, who do have, or will seek a zeal for him and his commandments; to remove them, to sift them OUT from the lax and lukewarm Laodiceans. (this is the same thing that Spanky Meredith said before he started Global Church of God. Through other men who did all the work, which allowed Meredith to step in without getting his hands dirty. This is the exact same thing Malm is doing. He is influencing various men to put his words into action. They do the dirty work, the Apostle steps in untarnished by the shenanigans)
At this time you can see that BOTH UCG and COGWA are peopled by brethren who have had far more freedom of study and thought than any of the pother major COG groups. That situation is now changing and those who choose to turn to God in zeal are being placed in a position where they will have to make a decision when the full fruits of these two groups mature.
As I have said many times I do not expect the fruits of these groups to mature before the fall Feast. It is at that time that COGWA will have its leadership in place on a permanent basis; and it will take that long for the new UCG agenda to become clear. Only at or after the fall feast will everything become clear.
This is an Internet effort at providing a message of warning and hope for all of God’s people first; and then to the world at large.
My agenda to to provide a message of warning for God’s people so that they will be awakened from their deep sleep and that those that have enough oil will be sifted out form the lax and the lukewarm so that they will not share in their correction.
My mission to to provide sufficient warning so that those who are lax and lukewarn will remember that warning. when they find themselves in the correction of tribulation; and that they may still find the gold of salvation in the trial by fire.
Right now several thousand people are visiting this Blog and the other sites regularly. Those who have asked for Sabbath services are widely scattered worldwide and I cannot provide any solutions for you at this time. The same thing is true about the Festivals.
I advise you to stay where you are until you are fully personally convinced that the fruits are such that you need to leave, or until you are no longer welcome. I advise all to take the Sabbaths and as much other time as possible to open your Bibles and study thoroughly with an open mind.
Don’t let anyone deceive you into believing that you must assemble with this or that group who are far from God; just because some friends or respected persons might be there!
This is an ongoing transitional phase at this time, as the faithful and the zealous are being separated OUT from the lax and lukewarm.
I believe that most of those who are truly zealously faithful to God will come from independents and small groups; and out of UCG and COGWA when things come to a head. A small few may also come from LCG.
Right now there are several hundred people who would love to keep the Feast together with us; sadly they are scattered worldwide from Sweden to South Africa; from Australia to Missouri! I just do not have the trusted people and resources to operate Feast sites at this time.
The warning to them is in the sense of sowing seed for the future when the conditions are better suited for that seed to germinate. The Word of God needs humble soil to germinate.
At this time there are also a thousand or more who see much wrong and are hoping against all hope that things will improve and that I am wrong in my warnings.
There is also now a group of several hundred who see many things much more clearly; and are strongly inclined to agree with me.
At one time I said that only about 10 to 15% would ultimately be found to be real pillars. I believe that was wishful thinking and I personally would be very pleasantly surprised if as many as one thousand from all groups and independents would ultimately have the spiritual oil and strength to be real pillars in the faith.
I have been sowing seed for four years as of 8 July, which was the date of first publication [not of the launch of writing].
I wanted to be very clear here that the pillars in this age are a very small number of people. The vast majority in the faith are Laodicean.
I strongly recommend that everyone spend as much time as possible in intensive prayer and personal Bible study in preparation for the fall Feast. It is at that time that the permanent leadership of COGWA will be in place and that the new agenda of the UCG will be coming clearer. Either at or after the Feast the agendas of these groups will be made known.
:Simply put: the time is not yet ripe for the removal of the pillars. (i.e., the time is not ready for the faithful followers of Malm to leave their churches. They are to wait one more year)

I am not trying to start any organization. I am simply a humble servant whom God has obviously chosen to do a powerful end-time work because obviously, I am the most righteous man I have ever known. I have an advanced case of diabetes though, and don't expect live more than another year or two. Additionally, things haven't come to head at the larger splinter Laodicean groups yet. This is why everyone should stay where they are until I can start my organization.
Ex-members in Texas and Montana had become part of some of the Christian Patriot Militias at one time, so really nothing surprises me. Armstrongites are programmed to seek strong leaders that can do all of the thinking, and extreme legalism seems to be one of the things which defines leadership to these folks.
Bottom line is, they're still all on the sidelines, watching helplessly as the real gospel is getting out in great power around the world, systematically planned for areas not previously reached, with programs of Christian leadership and discipleship being emphasized to set everything up for long-term continuity. ACOG denial of this is probably the reason behind their bliss.

About the only areas of freedom Malm's followers still have involves taking care of bodily functions. Malm has opined on just about everything else over the past months. I hope he doesn't read here, or when he sees this, he'll be expounding on Godly ways to fart or take a crap.

The Great Falling Away has been going on for decades and is now reaching its climax
Can I hone in on this single statement for analysis for just a second: If there was a "falling away" as Paul prophesied it surely happened centuries--not decades--ago after the death of the last apostle, St. John. That's not to say another isn't on the cards with the advent of the Antichrist. But, to equate people questioning, re-evaluating and/or coming to different conclusions to those believed and taught by Herbert W. Armstrong is antithetical to spiritual growth! And to think such differences proves somehow that its the "falling away" that Paul referred to is an utter distortion! It's like saying the Pope is the only one through whom Christ has worked and revealed "truth." In this line of fallacious reasoning you could say the "great falling away" occurred in 1517 with the Protestant Reformation since prior to this event everything was "oh-so-peachy" with the Roman Catholic Church, the "true Church of God" acting as the arbiter of "truth" and "sound doctrine." Indeed, the more I study the history of HWA, WCG and its hundreds of sects, the more I am amazed at the similarities with their real "mother"! Is it any wonder why their house too is left desolate?!
