It is Not Safe For the True COG to Worship In This Age



Armstrongism has always had the strange practice of holding church services in Masonic Lodges, Elk's Lodges, and Odd Fellows Halls.  Making that practice even more strange are the numerous articles put out by the church criticizing those organizations as satanic.

We now have a COG splinter cult here in CA asking why the COG's continue this practice.  But before they get to that, they want you to know how dangerous it is for COG's to meet together on Saturdays.  I don't know what planet this splinter cult is on, but there has been no hindrance to any COG meeting in the United States.

Affordable, convenient, comfortable, and safe places to formally worship God are very difficult to find. However, the practice of the Father's  true religion is not convenient, comfortable, or safe in this age. The elect of God are limited in almost every endeavor they attempt in this evil world, and to use monetary justification,  convenience, and comfort as the foremost criteria or as an excuse to use the facilities of this world's religions seems to be missing the point of the many instructions of God that require a true Christian to separate themselves  from false religious systems  and false gods.
Questions to Consider
  • Why  would a true Christian want to meet in a building that is dedicated to the worship of a false religion and god?
  • Why would a true Christian want to worship the true God surrounded by idols,  paintings, and symbols that clearly violate the first two of the Ten Commandments?  
  • Knowing how God feels  about false religious systems and their practices and places of  worship,  can a true Christian offer up praise to him and worship him within a building or a place dedicated to a false god in good conscience? Congregation of God, San Jose CA

Where do these morons come from? the only COG that I know that is not safe to worship in is the Living Church of God. People have literally died in their worship services.

What is with all the persecution complexes these splinter cults wallow in?

How would San Jose be safe?
The city was named by Catholic Franciscans missionaries.

Have you ever seen the photos from Ambassador campus in Pasadena of the hedges and trees trimmed like phallic symbols?
The church was so conscious of them everywhere else. How was this missed? Or was it?
