Exposing the underbelly of Armstrongism in all of its wacky glory! Nothing you read here is made up. What you read here is the up to date face of Herbert W Armstrong's legacy. It's the gritty and dirty behind the scenes look at Armstrongism as you have never seen it before!
With all the new crazy self-appointed Chief Overseers, Apostles, Prophets, Pharisees, legalists, and outright liars leading various Churches of God today, it is important to hold these agents of deception accountable.

Malm and Thiel: "Mine is Bigger Than Yours!"
What can I say?
Bob Thiel recently posted that he had done a much greater work of
warning then I; and perhaps that’s true; I will not debate numbers etc
with him. The real issue is not numbers but quality of content.
While Bob has been presenting falsehood and error I have been
presenting the truth; The King of the South will not be any Islamic
alliance which will join with Europe and destroy America before they
have a falling out. That is completely false as I have proved many
times and in many ways. How Satan Will Ensnare The Lukewarm Saints
"While Bob has been presenting falsehood and error I have been presenting the truth; The King of the South will not be any Islamic alliance which will join with Europe and destroy America before they have a falling out. That is completely false as I have proved many times and in many ways."
Really Malm? So, your best example of how you've been preaching the truth is how good you are at foretelling the future? What makes you think you're not going to go down in flames, just like all the "prophecy experts" before you (most recently, Harold Camping)? Or is it new moons? Or is it because you preach that individual members should purchase and blow their own individual trumpet on the holy days? Or is it the slightly different interpretation of how to calculate the calendar? Is that where you've been "presenting the truth" and Theil has been "presenting falsehood." (This is not a defense of Bob Theil, btw).
Yes, I understand, you are so sure you are right because everything you preach comes directly from the bible. But who made you the authority? What makes you so overconfident that YOUR private interpretation is the CORRECT and authoritative interpretation? And 100% of the time, too. Impressive.
This is exactly like the pharisees, who preached not offending in the tiny points of the law, even if the application led to huge inconsistencies. What we have today is a large collection of various pharisees: LCG, PCG, RCG, Malm, King, etc.
All these people are essentially saying the same thing: distract yourself from how you are falling short from keeping the second great commandment (love your neighbor as yourself) by focusing on the minutia of the first great commandment (love God). In fact, let me find some new minutia, like new moons, blowing of trumpets, and calendars, and declare that anyone who offends in the least of these is ALSO guilty of all. (Maybe I can get a following for myself that way.)
So, even though Malm, just like the rest, are all uniformly teaching people through their example to "love each other" by lying, cheating, and stealing (!!!!), they can't work together and accuse each other of preaching lies because they don't agree on the minutia of how to love God. Of course, Jesus said that he who has shown love unto others has shown love to me. Oh, but I think we can safely disregard that.
Or maybe they accuse each other because they DON'T WANT to work together, because they all NEED to be the Top Dog of their own following. Well, that and they all want to write in the amounts on their own paychecks.
"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? about the end in 1975, Britain to never be a part of the EU, Germany to invade America, Stoiber and Guttenburg are the Beast, Iran is the king of the south, etc and in thy name have cast out devils? exorcized mentally ill people, disfellowshipped dissidents, forbade entrance to profane public, etc in thy name done many wonderful works? building extravagant halls and naming them after God's end-time prophet, publishing glossy magazines forecasting doom and gloom each month, etc And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity!" breaking up families, teaching lies, suppressing the truth, idolizing HWA and his traditions, remaining loyal to an organization at the expense of my people, all to get more money or a name for yourselves or that this would qualify you for eternal life
When you don't have the witness of God behind you, the only tactic you have left is to brag and to detract from others.
Sometimes I think these guys have spent too much time reading I Cor. 14, in which St. Paul describes prophecy as being the most precious gift of the HS which Christians should all aspire to, as opposed to tongues which Armstrongism vehemently denied anyway. But, alas. There is a vast difference between faking prophecy, and actually receiving it from God.
Stupid is a world disease. It is here sitting next to me.,It is there sitting next to you. Why the picket lines when Paul asked for no arguments? I don't believe any personal pride and ego should be so entertained by people who are definitely godly in conduct and in willingness to serve such a worthy God. Thankyou.
I have a feeling you would need a magnifying glass for both of them.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen so many boasting assholes, in the cogs, who poop between two feet think they have something special that only they understand.

They who compare themselves amongst themselves are unwise... particularly if they are disciples of a dead false prophet.

Kudos to John for his comment. You are SO right.
