Apostle Malm is continuing his snit-fest today on the Masons. To Malm, Masonry is a Satanic conspiracy to kill off the one true church i.e. The Churches of God. What would Armstrongism do with out it's myriad of conspiracy theories? It's the Masons, it's the Jesuits, it's the Zionists, it's the atheists, it's the Jews, it's the Illuminati, it's the Pope.....on and on it goes.
Rader is the big meanie that brought Masonry into the church The Apostle also says Herb was a lower degree Mason. Why Apostle Malm lies about that I have no idea. There is no documented proof that Herb was ever a Mason. Other church leaders yeas, Herb no.
The Apostle then goes on to describe the characteristics of Masons and how they are certified liars. This is what he says:
The Apostle has perfectly described the Churches of God and all its leaders. Armstrongism is filled with accomplished liars. Look at Flurry, Pack, Cox, Rittenbaugh, Coulter, GTA, HWA, etc. The Church has always had spin doctors at its ready. The Legal Department staff were the biggest spin doctors of the church. Many times blatantly lying to the members. The Public Relations offices also were excellent spin doctors and still are to this day. Years ago I had the Department Head for Accounting tell me that they could take any figures and make them say what they wanted. Church accounting departments in all the COGs have lied to members,Masons are also accomplished liars, who are experts at spinning partial truth so that it becomes the opposite of the whole truth. This spin has been used for six thousand years to twist the word of God and to justify themselves. Watch out for the type of statement [which I have heard from Bob Thiel so often] that: “I said that but I meant this, it is YOU who have misunderstood me”; as they refuse to accept responsibility for their words.
As for Prophet Bob, he just gets no relief :-)
These folks are experts at dissimulation, distraction, blaming the questioner for lack of understanding and splitting off a particle from the truth and then twisting it to mean something different. They are experts at using human reasoning to get around any zeal for God and his commandments.
One great example of this is Leona McNair and how the Church went into damage control mode and blamed her for what was happening. Never mind the fact that Rod Meredith stood up in front of over 700 ministers in Tuscon and publicly defamed her. Never mind the fact that McNair was no bastion of saintly virtue. the Church and Meredith worked overtime to discredit her. If only she had been a submissive wife and kissed Raymond's feet every night none of this would have ever happened. If it had not been for the Ambassador Report and local church members and community members fighting on her behalf she would have never prevailed.
Many a person has worked himself to the bone with total loyalty to his employer and never made it into the big time, while being passed by, by others who seem to have everything go their way. Did you ever wonder why? It is because you are not in the club. To be a success in this world one needs to know the right people who can help you and set you on your way.
This method of reasoning has always been a cop out in Armstrongism. Members could never advance up in companies because they did not play the party game, did not work on Saturdays, and a myriad of other accusations. When Apostle Malm says stupid things like this he spits in the faces of church members that have run successful businesses, advanced up in the State Department, been City and Government leaders, ethical attorneys, etc. All without ever being Masons. Armstrongism is always about blaming "the other."
The auditorium was itself carefully constructed so that the worshippers would always face the East and an upper room was built in which to hold lodge meetings.
The next time the Apostle reads this blog and copies it over to his he had better get the facts straight! At no point did I EVER say that an upper room was used for Masonic meetings. No Masonic meets were EVER held in the Auditorium! That is a plain, simple FACT! Sheesh, I am starting to type like Herb!
Since Apostle Malm has set himself up as a truth teller, a prophet and Apostle he should really guard his words more carefully. Apostles have no record of lying. James Malm has. That alone damns him as a false teacher.
Update: The Apostle says he is working on a list of Church of God ministry who are Masons and will publish it this fall. This is all too fun!
Today’s post will be on this subject due to the tremendous response I have received. It will be very heavy on exposing what Masonry is all about and how it gained control of HWA and the COG. By the end of the year [I Hope] the names and proofs will enable this thing to be broken wide open. I know the evil in high places that I am fighting. James

Malm is having delusions of grandeur.
Hopefully, some day he'll recognize himself as the inconsequential schmuck that he actually is.
(Before he harms anyone.)

If anything, Malm's comments are going to prompt readers to want to know how they can send some of their tithes to the Masons.

"Malm is having delusions of grandeur."
Well, if you're going to have delusions, may as well go for the really satisfying ones.
Malm also condemns himself with his own words. Having been subjected to him lying, twisting, and attacking me for asking him questions, I could not help but find a perverse amusement in his statements today.
Looking forward to seeing who the masons supposedly are--I wonder if I could get a good word in with them on a new better paying job. Maybe a CEO position somewhere.

"I know the evil in high places that I am fighting. James "
An ego-centric comment if ever there was one. James may not see it, (read Dave's booklet) but he needs to anoint his eyes to see he is getting a little too filled up with himself, special, martyr like and "and I alone am left"...which is common among and between those who compete for the pre-eminence.
They lose site of how goofy they sound.
M.T.Ialoneknow
The more James opens his mouth the stupider he is appearing. The sad part is his miniscule little group of acolytes thinks he is the smartest man on earth right now restoring the "truth once delivered."
"Masons are also accomplished liars, who are experts at spinning partial truth so that it becomes the opposite of the whole truth...They refuse to accept responsibility for their words."
…
"These folks are experts at dissimulation, distraction, blaming the questioner for lack of understanding and splitting off a particle from the truth and then twisting it to mean something different. They are experts at using human reasoning to get around any zeal for God and his commandments."
I know nothing about the masons, so I am not trying to defend them, but I love how Malm is so good at stereotyping, lumping people together into different groups and painting each individual within them with the exact same shade of black. To James Malm, the whole world is very simple: black and white and two-dimensional.
"The auditorium was itself carefully constructed so that the worshippers would always face the East and an upper room was built in which to hold lodge meetings."
…
1 Chronicles 28:11 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat.
…
Mark 14:15 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished [and] prepared: there make ready for us.
I guess, David and Solomon were masons because they built upper rooms into the temple, obviously, in which to hold lodge meetings! And I guess Jesus was a mason. The last supper? I guess that was actually a lodge meeting too!
Malm has already demonstrated that he himself is an accomplished liar, plagiarist, false prophet, and misanthrop, so this list of masons he promises to publish will no doubt be entertaining. He believes in publishing first and asking questions later. He has done this so many times in the past. Some of the entries on his list might actually be correct, but I hope he gets a hailstorm of opposition from the rest, people rightly defending their reputations from his "shock-jock" style of "journalism."
He claims he never publishes anything unless he has it on very good authority that it is true. But after his "good authorities" have let him down so many times with false information, obviously his definition of "very good authority" would be very low and unprofessional by this “Satanic” world's journalism standards. Obviously, though, it's a good enough standard for the God that Malm claims to be so zealous for, right? I guess Malm's God never heard of "due diligence."
Malm gleefully publishes all sorts of negative things about people that he doesn't know to be true (in the hopes that it is). Sometimes he retracts them, but many times he refuses, ignoring the protesting emails and refusing to approve the protesting blog comments. Malm seems to be happiest believing the worst about everyone (except himself). Also, he admits to making $12,000 a year from his tabloid rag. Even though it's not a lot, it is a substantial supplement to the meager retirement income he claims. Or it might be just a sympathy ploy to attract additional revenues for his little publishing business. I guess Malm's God is okay with lying, just so long as there's some plausible deniability, there's money involved, and He gets his 10% commission.
I suppose it's only a matter of time until he publishes the wrong thing about the wrong person and gets hit with a defamation suit. I guess, if people were to donate all sorts of money to his legal defense fund, he would say that was God defending him. On the other hand, I can only hope that would force him to hang up his prophet hat. I have to confess to a bit of schadenfreude on my own part when it comes to James Malm.
splitting off a particle from the truth and then twisting it to mean something different
Booby Thiel undoubtedly is assisted by the Hadron Collider under the Franco-Swiss border, no doubt obtaining time through the efforts of his Beast of Revelation friend, Baron Karl zu Guttenberg:
New particles mean new truth!
Maybe the LCG can use them in some inter church war.
I attended church with Bob Thiel in the Masonic Temple in Charlotte on multiple occasions when he was still in LCG. He didn't seem to have a problem with it then.
