This is the world headquarters of the improperly named
"continuing" Church of "god"
Why is it that so many of the COG's out there have to hide their churches from the world? They claim they are God's chosen mouthpiece and are the possessors of endless end time knowledge that God somehow was too stupid to reveal to Herbert Armstrong or any of the men he apostatized from.
Just like Herbert Armstrong, they are too embarrassed to say who they are and what they do.
The above is the "HQ" of Almost-arrested Elisha, Elijah, Amos, Joshua, doubly-blessed but not ordained, dream weaver, naturopath, homoeopath, second witless witness, prophet, future martyr, Chief Overseer and bitter disappointing "son" to Rod Meredith, Bob Thiel. Instead of boldly proclaiming his church to the world, he hides behind his Doctor's Research where he dabbles in herbology, dispenses naturopathic, homoeopathic, and nutritional information, i.e., pills, pills, and more pills.
The COG has been rife with men peddling herbs and homoeopathic pills for decades. The so-called "Dr's" the church and college had on campus in Pasadena were chiropractors that peddled pills and herbs. Several others were members in Pasadena and made a fortune living off gullible church members who bought these pills over the decades. Being forbidden to uses real doctors, church members flocked to these men for advice. Who needs to see a doctor when cayenne pepper will cure most anything!
It is probably a good thing that Almost-arrested Bob hides behind his sign, otherwise, Satan and his demons would be able to find him. After all, demons seem to have more power in the Church of God than that inconvenient dude they claim to follow does.
The only good thing about Bob's HQ is that so far he has not attempted to build a mini-me auditorium or Hall of Ad.
From an LCG member:
Bob Thiel is not licensed to practice in California, which many LCG members had always assumed. The papers he claims to have written have also not held up to "peer review" standards. Bob Thiel is a quack in every aspect of his life. Fake doctor, fake theologian, and a fake COG leader. He is a liar that every COG members should be wary of.

If I am among the Moabites, I suppose I should observe Chemosh's holy days, shouldn't it? I mean, if El gave Chemosh his portion, it's as offensive to honor Yahweh in front of Chemosh as to do the reverse.
ReplyDeleteLooks more like a Taco Shop, or maybe a Smoke Shop or marijuana dispensary than a "Church HQ" .
ReplyDeleteI was going to say; I believe I had the #6 there. 3 beef tacos, black beans and rice.
DeleteWell, you can see clearly for yourself that the sign says "Herbology".
ReplyDeleteHe's not hiding anything.
Yes, rather dumpy.
ReplyDeleteBob Thiel should be sponsoring some of the leaders of his African congregations, bringing them to headquarters, so to speak, for further education and opportunities.

Bob doesn't look that old. He should consider retraining into another line of work. As the bible puts it 'if a tree doesn't bear fruit, chop it down.'
ReplyDeleteIf he gets a real job, he will be able to afford proper curtains and a straight bookcase.
With about 700 other COG groups out there (they seem to be forming daily). Why would anyone choose to be with the CCOG? Have tried to listen to his "sermons". They are absolutely some of the worse messages I have ever heard. Something gets lost between his brain and his mouth.
ReplyDeleteWho are the people in the 1940s clothing on the cover of the booklet?
ReplyDeleteBB
BB. That is exactly what I thought! Bad old legalism.
ReplyDeleteDr Bob Thiel- PhD snake oil salesman on multiple levels...

It looks like crooked bookcases exist in the alternate universe as well.
Thiel has this one minute welcome you tube video at his herb site...

In it , he claims to be a SCIENTIST, and refers to himself as Dr. Robert Thiel , and his product line as DOCTORS RESEARCH.
False QUACK claims in all areas, just like his fake ordination and prophethood. What a fake wannabe!

ReplyDeleteA former opera singer told me when she chose music as a profession, she was advised to have a "real job" as a backup - so she also got a masters in nursing.
So... is this Bob's "real job"?
Also, the "almost arrested": I thought it had to do with an incident involving mail order sale of his pills and potions, but Bob thinks it had to do with his attempt to keep Pentecost while in the army.
So... "almost arrested" for what?
