Exposing the underbelly of Armstrongism in all of its wacky glory! Nothing you read here is made up. What you read here is the up to date face of Herbert W Armstrong's legacy. It's the gritty and dirty behind the scenes look at Armstrongism as you have never seen it before!
With all the new crazy self-appointed Chief Overseers, Apostles, Prophets, Pharisees, legalists, and outright liars leading various Churches of God today, it is important to hold these agents of deception accountable.
Herbert Armstrong's Tangled Web of Corrupt Leaders
I think I have posted this before but it needs to be said, churches are nothing but human institutions. When you give to any church you are not giving to God you are giving to men. We all need friends but we don't need to belong to a church to have friends that are like minded. The common bond that all humans share is that we are all humans and share the same struggles and triumphs in life. We humans in a sense are all members of a giant fellowship called mankind. No need to belong to churches that extract large amounts of money from the sheep by putting them on quilt trips.
Tithe payers are making a big mistake trusting people who claim to be financial agents for God. The safest thing is to give money directly to God.
Do it the same way the ancients did: with a burnt offering. Lay on the altar a check made out "Pay to the Order of God" in the amount equivalent to ten percent of your increase. Light it afire and gaze worshipfully at the smoke wafting upward toward heaven.
My observation, the long term benefits of being a member of any group, church or otherwise, is zero. Short term, there can by benefits, but not long term. They give with one hand, then eventually take with the other. The group giveth, and the group taketh away.
It is only available on a monthly subscription basis. Your subscription fees are 10% of whatever your income is. If you want it, you have to be a current subscriber!
Now a lot of people won't like that. They'll say, no, no, that's the wrong way of looking at it, blah blah context blah blah. If it's indistinguishable from that, it's difficult to make a convincing argument that it isn't that, at least, theologically. Physically, you're just handing free money to another human being no different from yourself based on a house of cards of bad logic.
HWA in June 9,1979 coworker letter in regards to tithing...
..."you will be stealing from God, and will be PUNISHED IN A LAKE OF FIRE, instead of making it into God's Kingdom!"
So, not tithing is the unpardonable sin, punished by Hell Fire. I guess the formula is Christ, him crucified, and contributing 10% and more of your wages to the unaccountable cult leader.
Not one single COG group or its leaders deserve to collect any tithe money from people. They are all spiritual terrorists and liars, particularly Wenland, Malm and Thiel.
Retired Prof., giving God some disposable income? I like the idea. If an uncashed check has value, coupons would be sightly more valuable . And no middle men, like a Judas, could be tempted to steal it.

You're tithe money...
No, I'm not!
The CoGs should be sued for fraud.
We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little churchmembers! Wicked, tricksy, false!

So, Ed, are you saying that organized religion is detrimental to a relationship with God?

ah yes, Kenneth Copeland....him and the whole TBN bunch.
How does money have anything at all to do with Gods unconditional love for us. Can we buy Gods love?

Yes, apparently, we can buy god's love.
