I am a PCG member and am so disgusted by seeing this on the PCG Twitter page. My family struggles to make ends meet because my parents send in all the extra money they have to Headquarters for the so-called end-time commision. Then we are faced with this elitist in-your-face boasting by the elite of the church. You can be guaranteed as soon as I head off to college I will never set foot in a COG again as long as I live! I am sick of seeing my parents suffer and the hypocrisy of the leadership at Headquarters.
Some background:
ReplyDeleteFrom Exit And Support:
http://www.exitsupportnetwork.com/mike_ep/letters/ltrspcg14.htm
Jeremy Cocomise is Co-Founder and Director of Operations for "The Petra Group," along with Bret Smythe. (Jeremy Cocomise's Linked in page doesn't come right out and say he works for "The Petra Group"; however, if you enlarge his picture, you will see the words "The Petra Group" embossed on a yellow background.) In my opinion, it looks to me like this company is a cash cow for the PCG (zoominfo gives $5-10 million in revenue). It appears to be a closed company to PCG employees as all the PCG names I searched, such as Privratsky, etc., come up working for this company and are tied in with PCG and HWA College (AC). The Petra Group is not BBB accredited and BBB has received several complaints alleging customer service issues. I also discovered a "Notice of Federal Tax Lien" in November 2012 with an unpaid balance of $2944.55.
You'd at least think the old covenant elite would not for lamb. Even I know Jesus is not the Smoked Duck of God...
ReplyDeleteAwful. This is a prime example of how the night to be much observed has become nothing about God, nothing about delivering Israel from slavery, nothing biblical but about fine dining and a booze up.
ReplyDeleteSocial media for years has been awash with photos of beautifully set tables, delicate flowers wrapped neatly around cutlery, intricate table displays, grandma's best table cloth.
The hashtag #NTBMO is used everywhere but what has it really become besides a fine dining night.
I've attended NTBMO and everything under the sun was discussed except Exodus, the food is the idol, the fancy tablecloths, the fancy food and drink and the whole hullabaloo is far removed from God.
Problem is... when even a non Baptised offspring leaves PCG, the family if "verboten" to have any contact with him.
ReplyDeleteIn effect, disfellowshipped and marked with ZERO contact.
This is perhaps Flurry's most insidious "new truth".
Since their Dad is a super rich minister, the Cocomise clan are all but guaranteed a cushy spot in the PCG elite group. Jeremy even got busted for some pretty messed up sexual problems but still couldn't be denied his place in the upper echelons!

ReplyDeleteWOOOOOOOOW!!! If only there was a way to report these cogs for review of 501c3 exemption.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if the poster of this comment's identity is revealed, the forced exit from PCG will likely happen much sooner than expected via disfellowshipment.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Connie is right...
Unfurtunately, because of PCG's draconian and barbaric shunning policies, the care he has for his family's well-being will only be met with being shunned by the family. I sincerely and honestly hope the best for this person, and that when this person goes to college, that he will meet and create a great support network.

You think Flurry knows Jesus?
Christ was supposedly the God of the Old Testament, which means that He appeared in the Smoking Bush. Maybe there was a duck in the bush, or maybe the Smoked Duck is simply a memorial of Christ appearing in the Smoking Bush.

ReplyDeleteWhy isn't his wife cooking like all the others housewives are supposed for this night...they should all just go to a restaurant then.

ReplyDeleteIf this is their group, look at the links to the left.........
ReplyDeleteThe arrogant and malicious mucky-mucks in the PCG have nothing but utter contempt for the ordinary members.
I can't help wondering whether people are trying desperately to buy their way into eternal life.
ReplyDeleteWasnt duck a contention point for one early WCG splinter?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, this poster's going to have some tough decisions to make, and I dont mean that in a scolding sense. If their parents are indeed sending all their extra money to PCG at this late stage, they're not going to stop on the basis of any reasoning s/he gives. He/she'll have to learn to function at a distance from them, and not expect them to mind their own business while s/he minds their own. Because everything s/he does is going to endanger the parents' standing with PCG up until they're told to cut their kid off.
Not attempting to be discouraging though, because its either that or you get sucked down into the abusive black hole with them.
I think this guy has a super succesful business so stop being jealous.
ReplyDeleteThis person with the concern for the parents should be able to accomplish this too with a college degree.
If this person seriously cares about systainable contact with the parents he/she should read what RSK wrote at 6:00 a 100 times over. Not 60 not 75 times. A 100 times and no success guaranteed.
Nck
Jeremy...we all hope you choke on your Roast Duck and Asparagus Soup.....
