North Koreans Worshiping At The Bob Thiel Statue
Poor Bob is back lashing out at Rod Meredith and the LCG again. The poor guy just cannot get over the fact that LCG dismissed him and his message so quickly.
Thiel thinks that since ONE person in North Korea clicked on his web site that he has now reached the Communist country with God's message, something that WCG and LCG was NEVER able to accomplish.
In other internet news, I noticed that we have had visits from North Korea at the COGwriter.com website as verified by AWstats!
When I was with my former association, they stated that they had visitors to their websites from all nations except San Marino and North Korea.
I have not heard if they have since reached those nations, but will state that North Korea and San Marino are part of the 220 plus nations and territories that the CCOG and COGwriter.com websites have reached according to AWstats.
So Bob has reached 220 nations? Well, ghastly days! 220 nations! Not really that amazing considering that this blog has reached 210 nations with its message that Armstrongism is a pile of steaming cow shit. Many of the nations on my blog are from one person too, and in the bigger scheme of things is just as irrelevant as Thiel's one person in North Korea.
Thiel has been DEEPLY concerned that his message had not been reaching North Korea.
Years ago, I was speaking with someone who was once involved with media in the old Worldwide Church of God about reaching all nations. He told me that North Korea was about the only country that never had any Plain Truth magazine subscribers.
This long concerned me, and was one of the reasons that the cover article of the Bible News Prophecy magazine for July-September 2014 was about Korea.As is Thiel's message offers any hope to North Korean citizens! How delusion can this guy get?
Apparently that was the tip of the iceberg for Thiel. He believes that with this one person he has fulfilled his goal to "go to all nations."
By this ONE person in North Korea Thiel now thinks he has an open door to ALL state-controlled countries. Dream on little guy. Dream on!It was my hope and prayer that this would help us get at least some witness into North Korea (cf. Matthew 24:14). Now, I have been able to verify that North Korea has been reached.
Does this mean that we are finished?
No, far from it as I believe that there will be a greater witness (Romans 9:28) just prior to the start of the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:14-21).
But reaching North Korea shows that countries with more state-control of media can be witnessed to. It also shows that by prayer, effort and God's Spirit (Zechariah 4:6-9), a little flock (Luke 12:32) with limited financial resources (cf. Acts 3:6) can go through doors that Jesus opens (cf. Revelation 3:7-8).
For all he knows or does not know, is that the person on the other end is an intelligence officer, who will look and see if any other Koreans are also looking up his site, so that they can be arrested.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been better if he claimed the victory and stated that his job was done.
One thing that I have noticed is that all true prophets confronted the leadership. None of these cogs would dare confront the leadership for if they did, they would pee in their pants.

ReplyDeleteWe can't find anywhere where God or His Work is dependent upon anything Bob Thiel or his group could ever do.
Additionally, Rev 3:7-8 isn't concerned with any "doors" that Bob Thiel has in mind:
Revelation 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Where does it speak about doors? And Flurry does not have the "key of David" to anything.
If anything Jesus Christ has that "key" and He is "the Door" referred to:
John 10:7 "Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep."
Jesus Christ is the door to the sheep, and the sheep tied in with the Church in Philadelphia, but to Bob Thiel and his group? Dream on, Bob!
"I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture."
Again, I am thankful Jesus Christ is "the door" and not something that Bob Thiel has dreamed up in his head....something that revolves all around self, Bob Thiel, and ....SELF.
Bob Thiel just isn't as important as he thinks he is; although, he may want to consider the word: impotent, instead...

I would question whether anything noteworthy happened as a result of the contact. Did the individual accept Jesus Christ as Lord, Master, and personal Savior, and dedicate his life to Jesus?
ReplyDeleteDid he so much as send a small offering to Thiel? Request literature? Offer prayer on behalf of Thiel so that Bob would not be one of those incinerated to incent Davey Pack's Annual Haggai temple reunification and barn dance?
Or, in this case, was a mouse click just a mouse click?

Wait a minute...doesn't North Korea already hate the USA enough? All we need is for Thiel's cult to be introduced there to convince the North Koreans that the USA really is crazy.
ReplyDeleteThiel's been fantasizing about preaching to North Koreans before when he released an online booklet back in April this year.
ReplyDelete"Contacts from nearly every nation on earth have been verified as viewing CCOGs websites ... with the one exception of North Korea (note: because people in places like North Korea sometimes use proxy addresses, it is highly likely that nation has been reached as well)." (Bob Thiel, Continuing History of the Church of God, Page 97, PDF page 99.)
Not just "likely", he says it is "highly likely" that a North Korean had already visited him. And this was back in April.
Now he finally feels he can boast of reaching North Korea just because of one contact. Thiel is just empire building and trying to gain glory for himself, not trying to serve the people.
What can say about such deluded thinking? Thiel is clearly living in a strange fantasy world.
Is Bob Thiel calling God's end time Apostle Herbert W. Armstrong a liar? It is my understanding that at the end of his life, Mr. Armstrong stated that the Gospel of the Kingdom had been preached in ALL the world and that he had fulfilled the Great Commission (Matt 24:14). North Korea is also included "in ALL the world". Therefore, Bob Thiel must be calling into question Herbert Armstrong's claim that he fulfilled Matthew 24:14.
ReplyDeleteI'm just saying.....

Rumor has it that the North Korean military clicked on Bobs website so as to be able to obtain a United States GPS targeting location for their new intercontinental nuclear ballistic missile!
ReplyDeleteCORRECTION! - NEWS JUST IN! FROM KCOG SPORTS RADIO!...
ReplyDeleteThe click to Thiel's website from North Korea was from a laptop owned and used by DENNIS RODMAN on a recent visit he made to the Communist country. Rodman, a basketball great, has stirred controversy by repeated visits to the oppressed and starving country, ruled by the despotic Kim Jong.
When asked about this recent series of events by our roving reporter, Ms. Busty Cleaver,... Rodman responded as follows...
" Hey Look Man, I dig self appointed dictators who are not accountable to anyone. Thats why I go to North Korea and 'hang' with Kim Jong. Its really bitchin to see self appointed people getting others to jump through hoops and believe and do weird stuff. I clicked on Bob's page from North Korea to see if maybe I could find an American version of Kim Jong to hang with too. It would definitely cut down my travel time, and besides, I got some hot babes that I know down in L.A., and that aint too far from Bob's place up in Arroyo. I wasn't disappointed in what I saw on Thiels website, when I was in North Korea, and I will be contacting Bob soon when Im back in the States"

Thiel is hiding a couple of other hits to his site that he is afraid to admit to...
ReplyDeleteOne from Vulcan, Two from Pluto, Three from Andromeda, and 666 hits from SHEOL!
It's amazing how so many of these so-called leaders bash the group that they came from the most.
ReplyDeleteNo one would even know of Thiel, if he hadn't been in LCG, and doing his blog for all those years.
He is biting the hand that has fed him....

More than likely his website "visit" was from an automated robot script trawling the web looking for keywords. As a consolation for Bob, the robot was the first visitor able to view the content of his site without dozing off.
ReplyDelete“Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people.” Rev. 14:6
ReplyDeleteI believe this verse is looked to as GUIDING by Wycliffe, a Christian organization dedicated to providing the Scriptures in EVERY language on Earth, with several hundred to go. Here, the definition of “reaching” is actually having someone experience reading and thinking about Jesus’ message, and coming to faith and having companions in doing so.
I have friends working for Wycliffe, one in Asia, one in Central America, each in an area (within a single nation-state) where there are DOZENS of languages spoken within 100 miles! Wycliffe is not dogmatic that every single language has to have a full Bible before Jesus’ return, but they work according to that idea.
How incredibly absurd Thiel’s definition of “reached” is alongside this. But he’s only mimicking what went before. I remember back in WCG once, they were going through this “nations left” routine, the reason being one PT subscriber in Communist Vietnam had come in. Ooooo! North Korea was named as “not reached,” but someone said that it didn’t count because South Korea had been reached, and weren’t they all the same? Judge for yourself the attitude behind that comment.
Such things were done by people who wanted to grasp hold of SOMETHING that assured them the time until the Second Coming was about up, the usual Armstrongist I’ve Saved My Ass-Don’t Know About You gospel.
