Leave it to Almost arrested, Elisha, Elijah, Amos, Joshua, second witness, worldwide overseer, doubly-blessed, dreamer of dreams and self appointed prophet/apostle of the best Church of God to ever exist in human history, Bob Thiel, to wallow in the cesspool of narcissism that many other COG leaders are always in. Even with all of the bloviating by Dave Pack and his superfantabulous Restored Church God, Pack cannot compare to the super amazing doubly-blessed Bob Thiel.
There has been no other Church of God in the history of the entire world that is as amazing as Bob Thiel's improperly named "continuing" Church of God.
Notice what he has said in a recap his whirlwind African conference trip:
The Continuing Church of God is, and has been, the fastest growing Church of God in the 21st century. We have greatly exceeded the 30% growth per year blessing that the old Radio/Worldwide Church of God once had...It is a well established fact that the 30% "growth" that Herb and others claimed over the decades was nothing more than a slick manipulation of data by corrupt men in Pasadena. Manipulating figures was a full time job for some in accounting. Even the Plain Truth subscription numbers were incorrect and misleading. The old newsstand accounting procedures were a complete fraud, but that is another topic.
He also made a comment that during his conference he made sure that his followers all knew why his church was different from the heretical COG splinter groups. In addition to smearing those groups with lies and false accusations, he also bad mouthed Protestants, Mormons and Catholics. Dreamy Bob feels that he is the worlds foremost authority on the Catholic Church and other religious groups. Rest assured, he is not!
I also provided doctrinal training and went over how the ContinuingChurch of God differed from various Sabbath-keeping groups such as the Seventh-day Adventists and the Church of God (Seventh Day), and various groups whose leaders were once part of the old Worldwide Church of God. We also explained some differences with Protestants, Mormons, the Eastern Orthodox, and the Catholics of Rome and answered various questions.John the Baptist Bob also ordained several of his African followers. Sadly the men believed that they were being ordained by the Worldwide Overseer who himself was ordained by hands that had been ordained by others in apostolic tradition. He has not. No ordination for Brother Bob! He is self appointed! Purely man made. God is not involved in it. That of course leaves the ordination status of all of his devotees in question.
Why is it that these little men have to always over compensate for their deficiencies? Humility and humbleness never seems to be a virtue of any Church of God leader. They always have the biggest, the best, the one with the REAL truth, or the one practicing true first century Christianity. All of them have been proven to be liars, with one failed prophecy after another. They are promoters of legalistic mumbo-jumbo that even the Pharisees would not recognize.

Why do these church leaders lack humility and humbleness? Because they try to psych out their followers into believing that they are God. Their minions and boot lickers conspire with them, speaking their leaders name in reverential tones. It's a trap that many fall into. So they end up obeying man rather than God or common sense.
"The old newsstand accounting procedures were a complete fraud, but that is another topic." You mean all those unopened, outdated and unusable PT boxes in my and member garages along with various and sundry racks???? lol
Are you referring to the PT Newsstand Program thought up and stated by Dave Pack, well not really but nothing starts without Dave's having done it????

Watching Bob Thiel on YouTube turns me on. I find myself getting hot when I look at him.
I should pay more attention to what he says huh?
Oh now, stop persecuting the poor man.
He likely has the borderline personality disorder.
By calling attention to his deficiencies in his personality disorder is painful to him and may make him frustrated, unhappy and angry.
Can't you find a nice, pleasant, fair and balanced way to approach him that won't ruffle his feathers and cause him such distress?
[The answer to that is 'no' of course, but it was worth a try....]
What ever happened to the old saying that "Pride comes before fall"? Or, more appropriately, the Biblical precept that God brings down the proud? In an era of competing church splinter groups, some of these things become forgotten.

James 4:6 says, "God resisteth the proud".
These days, 'God resists the proud' takes the form of just ignoring them, which certainly explains the phenomenon we see in all of the Cult of Herbert Armstrong Mafia, and, in this case, there really isn't that much to ignore....
Bob Thiel seems to get crazier by the day. Is there anything the man says that is the truth? You are right in that God is not part of his little empire. It is all a creation of his delusional mind.
Here is the principle. John the Baptist set a very self-effacing example in his ministry. Unfortunately, we live in times when people don't follow that example. They bring a curse on their ministries by bragging about what they are accomplishing. What would cause someone to prophesy presumptuously? It's pride, ego, and self hype, assuming that they are not afflicted by some sort of mental illness. Obviously, God is not going to honor proud, presumptuous prophets! He can't. It's not part of His character. You can automatically reject the braggarts based on that alone. You taking notes, Bob? Dave? Ron? Jerry?

I wonder if Bob declared his seeds to Customs when entering Kenya? Some countries can be very restrictive about visitors bringing in agricultural items.
And 50 lbs is only the limit for checked baggage covered by the ticket - you can take up to 100 lbs per bag, or extra checked bags, but it gets very expensive. And then there's the 40 lbs allowed as carry-on, and I've never had carry-on baggage weighed.
Your site is doing a wonderful job for exposing the false prophets in our midst.
