Bob Thiel, the non-ordained self-appointed Overseer of the Continuing Ed Church of God has announced that he is planning on having his Feast site here in CA at the Santa Maria Inn.

Please think about where you hope to attend this year and let the coordinator for your Feast site know via email.
We have tentatively decided on holding the Feast of Tabernacles in the USA at the Santa Maria Inn, in Santa Maria, California. More information about that is expected for next week.

Here is what the Inn is noted for:
Rudolph Valentino, that wonderful entertainer, who seems to haunt everywhere, also haunts the hotel. He apparently likes to knock on room 221 and even recline on the bed in the room.
There are also rumors of the ghost of a sea captain who was murdered by his mistress long ago appearing inside the hotel. He has supposedly been attached to room 210.
Please note, a lot of sources report Valentino attached to room 210 and the sea captain attached to room 221. But when our team visited and looked around the second floor, the hotel had room 221 marked as Valentino's room. So it is our belief that the two numbers should be switched for the the two ghosts, and we have done so in this article.
In addition to the sea captain and Valentino's antics, the hotel plays host to a piano that plays by itself, mysterious footprints, unexplained perfume scented smells, spinning clock hands, opening and closing doors, music coming out of disconnected speakers, ovens opening, and even an elevator starting up and going to a certain floor at the same time of the day.
In addition to the hotel rooms, the ghostly activity has also been seen in the gardens and the cellar. Rooms have also suddenly turned ice cold, and even once a balloon followed a housekeeper around, even going down stairs with her.
Lastly, Richard Senate along with psychic wife, Debbie Christenson, conducted a séance in the Inn and contacted a young cocaine addict with a nickname of Peppy (because she was so peppy) who was often a guest in the guest house at Hearst Castle, and was in the Inn awaiting a car to take her up to San Simeon. Who this young woman really was, is unknown.
This is not the first time that a COG has placed their brethren in the grips of Satan. LCG did it in 2011:
LCG Using a Haunted Hotel For Feast of Tabernacles
And as for the mega resort that Santa Maria is, one YELP reviewer had this to say:
First of all, I wouldn't recommend the city of Santa Maria to anyone. It's junky strip malls surrounding this pretty hotel.
The CEdCG members will need to drive for entertainment. Between battling with demons, the local attractions are the beach, Hearst Castle (if you skip a service) and Solvang. It sounds to be one of the best Feasts ever!!!!!!!
In order to fix the html code the post had to be deleted so all the previous comments are missing.

well....if a Feast site is on this planet, it's likely that there has been some sort of demonic activity there at one time or another....(some demonic activities are seen by the populace as being good and holy things.....)
ReplyDeleteMy previous brilliant post about the Madonna Inn has been banished to outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth!

I cannot imagine preparing myself to go listen to Thiel. Considering how small the attendance will be, I don't think there will be any skipping out by anyone.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I must admit Thiel sounds like heaven compared to Malm pushing the Law and moon phases down one's throat every day.
Heaven indeed. A Malm "feast" would be one long, angry, emotional tirade, punctuated by hate-filled rants and the occasional tantrum, for god, of course. Don't count on him mentioning anything that god likes, only what he hates.
ReplyDeleteA Thiel feast would probably include topics about Theil's next forthcoming book about the Catholic Church, the new pope otherwise known as "Petrus Romanus", Fatima, St. Malarkey, the writings of the Catholic "Church Fathers", Catholic scandals, Catholic symbolism, and whether or not the Mayan calendar signaled the end of the world in 2012--spiiiiiiritually.
As an heir to Armstrongism, Thiel most definitely believes that Satan and the demons do exist, right? Why then would a loving pastor either fail to do due diligence, or deliberately expose his sheep to demons? This is one more red flag that as a "prophet", Thiel apparently can't distinguish between his butt and a hole in the ground.
ReplyDeleteChristian ministers preparing for a major event will often choose the venue very carefully, then walk every inch, anointing and praying as they go just prior to the start. I know for a fact that this was done in our area for a recent Promise Keepers convention, and the Reign Down USA event, because one of the pastors involved in both is a personal friend. This is something that to my knowledge was never done by Herbie and the ACOGs, and it raises serious questions about spiritual stewardship.
We really need to pray for spiritual discernment for all of the people searching for silver bullets in the ACOGs!

There's demons influencing him. If not, a door shouldn't be opening by itself behind him when he's preaching!
