Good old Rod, still at it as usual and on his favorite topic...gays and bad weather.
Also, originating in California, many recently viewed or at least read about another horrifying event which shocked millions of thoughtful Americans and others. The vile behavior and antics displayed in the “Grammy Awards” displaying so much naked flesh, with filthy double entendres, sexual references and even the flagrant “fist in God’s face” by the so-called “marriage” of dozens of same-sex couples by the entertainer Queen Latifah—all of this was like a “fist in God’s face”! How long do you think it is going to be before God Almighty intervenes?What many of you may not have thought about is the need to “connect the dots.” This vile rejection of every sense of God-fearing decency which took place in Hollywood was at the same time that the Creator has been cutting back on the water for these very people in the state of California! Oh, I know! Some of you think that God has nothing to do with the weather! But, in fact, the Creator of heaven and earth has everything to do with weather! If you have any respect for the inspired Word of God, you will come to realize that over and over down through human history, our Creator has used the weather to humble people and help get their attention. In fact, I would like to ask you right now to call us or write us and request your free copy of our powerful booklet: Who Controls the Weather?. It will be sent to you absolutely free and postpaid upon your request. You need this booklet to understand what is just ahead and why. We all need to “connect the dots” and realize that as certain things begin to happen which God Almighty predicted thousands of years ago, it shows that there is a “real God”—the great Creator and Governor of the Universe—who is now beginning to intervene and bring about all those things that He predicted in His Word.
He then jumps to his other favorite subject...his pissed off god...
Wake up, America! And wake up Canada, Britain, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa! The descendants of Israel who live primarily in these countries are predicted to be humbled in a way they have never been before—unless we turn to the real God of the Bible and begin to obey His laws and do what He says. Are we too dense to “understand” this? Co-worker Letter
The essence of cultic thinking is refusing to look at all sides of a question. They way they hook you in is to make you think they have the answers, and you don't need to look any further. Then they top that off with making it a sin to listen to others. They call that listening to Satan.
ReplyDeleteIt's not much difference than the cultic thinking in politics. The mainstream pretends to listen to both sides, but refuses to listen to anyone with views too far afield. If you do, then you are considered a moron who listens to kooks. Often they use ridicule and straw man arguments rather than real logic.
The point is that you can leave a religious cult and still be a victim of cultic thinking.
Most noticeable thing about Rod's god (overlapping with, even if not exactly the same as the god of other fundamentalists and the Israelites) is how indiscriminate he is when he lashes out. He gets pissed off at a cluster of flamboyant sinners in Hollywood, and he cuts off water to everybody in California, including innocent farmers in the Central Valley. He disapproves of the debauchery in New Orleans's French Quarter so intensely that he visits his wrath upon the city in the form of Hurricane Katrina, which inundates the homes of poor people in the Ninth Ward but mostly just inconveniences the French Quarter.
ReplyDeleteI mean, the fundamentalists have lots of precedent to go by, like all the innocent babies and toddlers the god of Israel destroyed in Sodom and Gomorrah, in the Great Flood, and in the many military campaigns he commanded Israel to carry out. I can sort of see why people with an innate sense of justice would defy such a being.
How long do you think it is going to be before God Almighty intervenes?
ReplyDeleteBy all indications, it will be a very long time. After all, Meredith has been a false prophet for over 50 years and he hasn't experienced the death sentence pronounced in Deuteronomy 18:20-22. He is to be put to death. Is he too dense to understand this?
Well, it's been thousands of years, so judgment is not executed speedily, so Meredith's heart is fully turned to evil. He gets away with it.
If you want to see Psychology Today's take on it, read, The Winner Effect which certainly explains Meredith to a T.
Like the article says at the end: Maybe we should be worried.
"How long do you think it is going to be before God Almighty intervenes?"
ReplyDeleteGee, IDK, since he's already 2000 years overdue, it could be like an earthquake being overdue, getting more and more likely to strike every second! Then again, it could mean he's never going to strike anyone at all.
"...Some of you think that God has nothing to do with the weather..."
Damn. He pegged me.
"...connect the dots..."
Okay. There's a lot of ways to do that. Shall we do it my way or your way?
"Wake up, America! And wake up Canada, Britain, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa! The descendants of Israel who live primarily in these countries are predicted to be humbled..."
Jews/Arabs are predominantly Eb1b1, J1, and J2 Y-haplogroup in their paternal lineage. This other white nordic/germanic/celtic ethnic group you're referring to when you say "wake up" are ~80% R1b. The branch of the family tree that Western Europeans descent from and the branch that Jews and Arabs descend from, are unrelated. They cannot both share a common paternal lineage from an ancestor who may or may not have been named "Abraham." To find a common ancestor you have to go back to way before Jews were Jews and WASPs were WASPs. Therefore, if someone really has been predicted to be humbled by some overdue deity or another, it must be somebody else.
Dot Connecting Rule #1: In order to connect dots, the dots have to exist first...
...sooooo I guess your way of connecting them is out...
Ah, Rod. Still bogus, after all these years!
ReplyDeleteThe amazing thing is that based on all of the preaching, we were led to expect that at some point, the decline of mankind would proceed not on a simple progressive arithmetic scale, but on a precipitous logarithmic one. I mean, having heard all of the sermons about Sodom and Gomorrah over the years, I honestly expected that sometime in the mid-1970s societal conditions would have gotten so bad that the minute you made the mistake of walking out your front door, your neighbors, both male and female, would literally be sniffing your butt like a bunch of animals, and "doing" you. Hypothetically speaking, such mass rape would be perfect provocation for God, acting from His sense of justice, to cue the trib. Who would even argue that point?
The problem is, our former teachers do not understand human nature, individuality, or sexuality. Through all that has happened over the past forty years, there have always been large groups of sophisticated and intelligent individuals, who came forward to lobby against, and to slam the brakes on bad societal trends. This has forced decisions by the neutral ones sitting on the sidelines, and suggests positive evolution as opposed to progressive degeneracy. It is the guy wire effect, various forces pulling in opposing directions to keep society's flagpole standing fairly straight, though the pole lists occasionally. Witness the ways in which balance has been steadily restored with regard to abortion.
If someone with Pat Robertson's visibility had made the remarks about Queen Latifah, rather than the "invisible" Rod Meredith, there would be a huge brouhaha unfolding within the media right now. As it is, nobody will even pay as much attention to this as they would had Westboro Baptist made the same remark. This begs the question, if a tree falls in the middle of the forest, and nobody hears it, how is this warning the world or preaching an endtime gospel?

"call us or write us and request your free copy..."
ReplyDeleteSee, conmen like HWA and Rod Meredith are smart enough to know that they don't have to worry about any "God"s judgment. Their followers haven't figured that out yet 'cause they still believe in invisible somethings living in the clouds and ruling the world.
ReplyDeleteReligion has never been anything but a scam, a con, and the conmen take full advantage of the fact that people want to believe in nonsense.
Want to prove religion is not a con? All you have to do is prove there is a "God" and tell us what it is.
Wonder what Rod has to say about earthquakes hitting all around >GOD'S HOUSE< AKA Armstrong Auditorium in Edmond, OKIE DOKIE. That would be a hoot to hear!
ReplyDelete"THE END is coming soon! We've been proclaiming that to you for more than 50 years!" These poor souls don't listen to themselves, but just keep saying, mostly, the same things said since Herbert first got on the radio. It doesn't work anymore! Shut up! Go away!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Stop with that claim that I won't understand things unless I get your "powerful" booklet. I had my fill of booklets years ago. The WORD "booklet" makes me wince. Besides, I know it ends with some statement about "needing my support" ($$$$$). I've none to give.

Well, who is really the dense one(s)? If God is really God, then surely He must have a way to turn people to Himself. For example, why hasn't Rod mentioned the following, which will be reality in the future...and beyond that mickey mouse millennium, 1,000 year period, Rod speaks of:
Psalm 22:26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
28 For the kingdom is the LORD’S: and he is the governor among the nations.
We don't need any of Rod's literature. Rod is acting like some individuals that the apostle Paul warned us of:
2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
When God is ready to grant repentance, change, so that people turn to Him He will just do it!
2 Thess 5:24 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
Perhaps Rod, Doug Winnail et al in their group, should ask themselves:
"Are we too dense to “understand” this?"..........
