Be careful WCG splinter groups, because you might be attacked by demons from under a Christmas tree, if you happen to be near. Of course "family time" playing volleyball at Christmas time was designed to draw members of splinter groups away from the "danger" of being contaminated by Christmas and those who participate in this harmless custom.
In my whole lifetime, I have yet to see a "demon" come out of a Christmas tree and jump on a human being. I have yet to see God send down a lightening bolt out of heaven and zap people who celebrate Christmas. I have never seen children terrorized by God for opening Christmas presents.
I have however seen WCG splinter groups, as a result of their parent church, send lightening bolts of FEAR into their members for even thinking that Christmas is anything but Satanic. When was the last time God appeared to any WCG splinter group member and told them they are going to forfeit eternal life if they celebrate Christmas? Never of course, but the leaders will quote one verse from the Old Testament and cause their members to believe that totem poles in ancient religious beliefs are trees and that they are devil worshipers if they put up a harmless Christmas tree, which is nothing more than a custom that has no consequence with God.
Is God the Creator so lacking in confidence, so lacking in self esteem and so insecure that He is "jealous" of a tree, with lights on it and decorated for human enjoyment? If so, then why is God not jealous of preachers who stand in pulpits and pretend that they speak for God? Church goers may not wrap pastors and preachers in lights and bow down to them, but they do worship them in a sense and think they are God's reps on earth. Is there any difference in thinking that your WCG splinter group head speaks for God and the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church?
None whatsoever.
Merry Christmas,

It's funny because in the PCg there was always an emphasis on "The family" and "God is a family" and we are All "Family"...Really?, you could have fooled me...which they did!

They were just like inlaws, but outlaws, going after you to see what they could get from you.
Van Robison,
You wrote: "...In my whole lifetime, I have yet to see a "demon" come out of a Christmas tree and jump on a human being..."
James perceived the following regarding sealed Firstfruits, members of God's Church many years ago:
"...The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?" James 4:5
James included himself in those words, and that spirit did dwell in human beings...somehow.
what kind of a spirit would that be?
Might it be a spirit of whoredoms?
"My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God." Hosea 4:12
Might it be a spirit of error?
"We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error." 1 John 4:6
It wasn't Satan jumping into true Christians like Satan did with Judas. Was it anything like what happened to Ananias and Sapphira?
What kind of spirit would lust, and have envy...evil fruits?
Did James lie to us?
"Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?" James 4:5
However, like you, Van Robison, I conclude: "...In my whole lifetime, I have yet to see a "demon" come out of a Christmas tree and jump on a human being..."

If you are so much a part of the family, when was the last time your minister had you over for dinner?
And if you end up homeless for a time, will they put you up in their home?
Will they loan you some money without strings when you are in desperate need?
If they really are family, it's time to put their money where their mouth is.
There weren't even stories of demons coming out during the Ambassador College or Worldwide Church of God marijuana parties of the 1970s! In a church that panned hypnotherapy based on phobia of demons entering a relaxed mind, you would think there would have been extreme fears regarding the effects of alcohol consumption, let alone street pharmaceuticals!
You can almost hear COGlodytes warning their kids that gay demons are waiting to possess them, and are lurking under every Christmas tree! Somehow, it was never emphasized that God's protection is much more powerful, because they taught not that God's love was an unconditional, mentoring love, but that it was only awarded to the extreme obedient. It was something you had to constantly qualify for.

COGlodytes... COGlodytes...
Stop it! Stop it!
My sides hurt from laughing!
No, of course not.
The demons hide in bathrooms at facilities where ACoGs have Sabbath Services.
The demons are in ACoG bathroom facilities where people beat their children before, during and after Sabbath Services.
