Prophet Thiel has another entry today condemning various non-COG false prophets that have been uttered stupid predictions over the last few years. He points out all their foibles while promoting his cultic book that is supposed to have all the answers.
He can rightly discern that these men are liars and false prophets, yet, he is blinded to the fact he follows one of Armstrongism's biggest liars and false prophets, Roderick C Meredith. Meredith has uttered many damnable lies over the decades that have been publicly exposed over and over. Yet, Prophet Thiel turns a blind eye to them, just as he refused to acknowledge the lies of Herbert Armstrong, Herman Hoeh, Dean Blackwell, Gerald Waterhouse and others.
They still gloss over the fact that Herbert Armstrong and Roderick Meredith lied in the early 70's when they said that we would be fleeing to Petra by 1972. They lied that famine, disease and pestilence would destroy the nation in 1975. They lied over and over and still today they have followers who deny they ever uttered a false prophecy.
Thiel writes:
On January 2, 2011, in an article titled False Predictions for 2011 I had denounced several false predictions for 2011.
The false prediction with the largest following was Harold Egbert Camping of Family Radio. And I stated that the following were some of his predictions which would be proven false in late May and October of 2011:
As we have noted, God further solidifies or locks in this date, May 21, 2011, by placing the day of shutting the door, when the rapture will occur, on the 17th day of the second month of the Biblical calendar. Significantly, the number 17 links perfectly to the fact of the rapture because spiritually, the number 17 signifies heaven. Moreover, the number 2 (second month) spiritually identifies with those who have been commissioned to bring the Gospel. Is it not amazing that they will be raptured on the 17th day of the second month? Is that coincidental? We also have learned that the last day of the earth’s existence, October 21, 2011, is the 23rd day of the seventh month of the Biblical calendar. The number 23 normally signifies God’s wrath being poured out. The number 7 (seventh month) signifies the perfect fulfillment of God’s purposes. Could this also be coincidental, that the final completion of God’s punishment on the unsaved occurs in the seventh month on a day that features the number 23, which is a number that completely identifies with God’s wrath, thus signifying God’s perfect wrath on the unsaved? (Camping H. We are Almost There! 2008 edition, p. 61-62)Jesus did not return on May 21, 2011 nor did the world end on October 21, 2011. Tens of thousands read my long article about him titled Harold Camping’s Teachings About the End of the World Do Not Agree with the Bible.
Then in true COG fashion, Prophet Thiel pulls a Dave Pack rabbit out of the air to promote his new book. Dave Pack has the worlds largest and best web site on "the truth" while Prophet Thiel has the worlds most important and ONLY book currently dealing with false prophecies. It is the worlds best documented book on the topic.
It just goes to show that Prophet Thiel is as big of a liar as his spiritual leader Roderick C Meredith is.Those who seriously would like to compare various predictions and how they align (or in certain cases do not align) with Bible prophecy should check out my book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect as it seems to be the most documented book on the market to do so (also world events have already aligned with at least 20 predictions that it contains, with none shown to be false).

Integrity: When the Replacement Fails Just Like the Original
Thanks for the link! This is the first I have seen this site, been too busy lately to do a lot of searching.
Love the "About Me" page! Priceless!
Robert seems a bit full of himself at times. "My article..." "My book..."
"Those who say...do not know. Those who know...do not say. "

My favorite quote from The Supreme Commander is a Meredith classic flipped on its side:
"I am essentially perfect and have not committed any MAJOR sin since my last bath!
"
And Bobby Thiel could have much less wrecked credibility if he could spel rite -- from his latest blog entry about Guttenberg as the sexy sexy beast of Revelations:
The real winner of the Iowa caucuses may not really have been Mitt Romeny....
If Dr. Thiel kindly would offer his book free of charge for all to read, I could confirm whether or not all those predictions really have come to pass.
But unlike the "buy the truth and sell it not" LCG, he apparently hasn't done that.
And his website promoting the book claims at least one prediction is "proven true," when it hasn't come close to happening yet - the first one about the dollar.
I predict the Surprising God Blog will surprise God even more.
I predict I will learn the meaning of Otagosh
I predict the Mayans will publish disclaimers
I predict the Aztec's will try and take credit
I predict the Inca will cut their hearts out and eat them.
I predict the Virgin Mary will appear to Robert Thiel and he will insert another chapter in his book
I predict United will divide, Living will die, Restored will overspend on an earthly kingdom, PKG will say "oh shit", Philidelphia COG will hate more people, Gracie will wish she had more laws, Fundies will with they had more grace and I won't be asked to speak at any Church functions.
The Apostle Malm will declare it and start a church if he can get his lazy ass readers to wake up
I predict lazy ass readers will not contribute much.
I believe more and more predictions will lead to more and more dis-illusioned humans.
I believe Jesus will visibly begin to descend to the Mount of Olives and then abandon the landing and turn around and return home just for fun.
I predict Yogi Bera was right when he said, "I have trouble with predictions. Especially the ones about the future."
amen

Speaking of Harold Camping, I checked online today - and his network has sold two big radio stations since October 21 for a combined $31 million.
Family Radio mentioned on the air only that stations are being sold because "income has dropped." I wonder why....
