Gerald Weston writes on August 8th about how Australia is picking on Living Church of God and poor little Rod McNair for running off at the mouth, again, as he was attacking people on LCG's TV program recently. Given the horrendous track record of McNair in Living Church of God, he should NOT be condemning others of sins when his sins grieve Living Church of God members.
On top of that, Weston dares to quote Isaiah 59:14 as evidence of how much they are being persecuted! Seriously? Given the trail of death and destruction Rod Meredith has left in his wake through the decades as he wielded his autocratic sword of legalism and Weston wants to talk about justice?
Where is the justice in the lives damaged by Meredith and LCG's strict legalistic interpretation of scripture handed to them by Herbert Armstrong?
Where is the justice for those slaughtered in Milwaukee by a deranged man pushed over the edge by Meredith's foul sermons?
When has the Living Church of God ever dealt in truth?
When has it EVER been equitable in its dealings with others?
Truth has certainly "fallen in the street" and it has been cast there by Living Church of God ministers and leaders as it continues to deny Christ and what he taught.
Gerald Weston writes, August 8th:
“Another of Mr. Rod McNair’s programs was censored in Australia. Apparently, any comments about traditional marriage or pro-life are not suitable for children. To see what we had to remove from his program in order to air it in Australia, go to the Tomorrow’s World YouTube channel and watch “25 Seconds Banned by the Anti-God Agenda.” Brethren, when you look at the 25-second clip that had to be removed, I think you will agree that “truth is fallen in the street” (Isaiah 59:14), and that we are rapidly moving to a time when there will be a famine of the word. “‘Behold, the days are coming,’ says the Lord God, ‘That I will send a famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east; they shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord, but shall not find it’” (Amos 8:11–12).
Australian TV companies do not have “Anti-God Agenda”, but entertainment organizations are mindful of the attitudes of their target audiences and sponsors. COGNews

This is conflicting. On one hand, if some of the teachers whom I actually respect had made the remarks contained in the deleted 25 seconds, I’d be concerned about censorship.
However, Armstrongism is a very dangerous and damaging cult, a cult which I’d like to see suppressed and stamped out in any way possible, so that additional members need not suffer. When I hear Rod McNair make these statements, it immediately comes to mind that he insisted a healthcare professional quit his job working with senior citizens, based on the ridiculousness that they had a high possibility of demon possession. And then, he put the poor individual out of the church for giving proper two week notice of his resignation.
A despot makes a very poor test case for freedom of speech. The gullible commenters on youtube have practically made him the poster boy for the Christian community. If only they knew what allnof us know!

Some years ago, my son attended an LCG Teen Camp led by Gerald Weston.
My son, because of family circumstances, had to take on a lot of adult responsibility even in his teen years. He was a good kid, mature for his age, and instead of driving himself to Teen Camp he selflessly went out of his way to pick up some other boys who needed rides to camp. He generously took responsibility for these younger teens, despite some inconvenience to himself.
When my son arrived at Teen Camp, Weston confiscated his car keys. What a statement of distrust! Favored counselors were allowed to drive to nearby stores when they liked, and sometimes took favored campers with them. To make matters worse, during the two weeks of camp my son saw counselors driving our family car more than once! It's not that my son had wanted or expected to go driving during camp. He wanted to take part in all the activities with his friends, and he didn't even know that driving away during the camp was an option until he saw counselors doing it.
At the end of camp, my son saw that our car wasn't where he had parked it. Shockingly, instead of praising my son's sense of responsibility for his parents' car, Weston denied any knowledge of counselors using our car, and treated my son very badly for asking about it.
Weston seems to live in a dream world where he is always the victim of childish brethren or malicious outsiders. Accountability and self-examination do not appear to be his strong points.
As for Australia? Rod Meredith, whatever his other problems, seemed to know how to push the limits effectively when dealing with censorship. Weston and McNair come across as crybabies by comparison. If you look up Australian broadcast regulations, they are strict about what kinds of programs can air at different times of the day, and about the different kinds of disclaimers required of producers whose programs may address certain sensitive topics. To put it bluntly, McNair's program got censored not because of Australia's evil, but because of McNair's (and Weston's) laziness and arrogance.
This is not an attack on the bible.
Mr McNair speaks about "passing laws". So he is speaking about a democratic process.
Therefore the State as the Actor on behalf of the Australian and NZ people is protecting itself against foreign propaganda meddling into Domestic Affairs.
Let's say how am I a Greek unto the Greek or an American unto the American here.........Anyone hear about Russian interference and meddling into "the passing of laws." COG has a record of propaganda for the US government. That's why in 1967 the CIA pirate ships were shut down by the British government. (And of course because the British are fascists too.)
nck
I'm sorry did I say "the government". I meant the Deep State, as in "The Family."
When McNair promotes "The Family". All of the Netflix Binge Watchers in the NZ Auzie government know what he is promoting.
nck
NCK.
Very little of what you say makes any sense to me at all. Taken at face value, it's often patently rubbish. I think I should go back to ignoring you completely.
Nck
All people have certain natural rights that the democratic process should not violate. In fact the American constitution states that "to secure these rights" governments were instituted. These rights include the right of freedom of thought, freedom of speech, and the freedom of the press. The Australian or any other government are acting immorality if they violate these rights.
Since you missed it, Australian universities were Marxist brainwashing centres. Foreign propagandas meddling, no?
Since you believe that governments can stomp on natural rights, it's no wonder that you worship despot Herb.
The two Geralds (Weston and Flurry) should wear beanies like the pope does. It will make them look more Jewish, and hence more like Jesus. Then they would have the respect of the masses.
Look I don't care if I don't make sense to idiots who cannot understand that in the video clip a "foreign citizen" speaks about "the passing of laws" constructed in a manner that is "alien" to the "domestic culture and democratic process of the hosting nations" Australia and NZ.
This was the exact reason why the WCG sponsored Cia pirate radio ships were shut down by the British government in 1967_1968.
"For undue American influence for the heats and minds of the British and the European continent. In this case it was not so much the Christian broadcasting that paid the Cia propaganda ships but American Rock and Roll and the REVOLUTION it was to bring about.
I believe Australians can preach what they want. The issue is at what time slots and and where.
3:51 is extremely naive in believing that governments and laws are not chosen by nations and that these governments are mandated to pass their own laws to protect the people that chose them.
If the ozzies want to hear more video clips from "The Family" sponsored broadcasts then let them make it so by voting in other leaders.
You cannot imagine the filth on the airways coming from Arabian preachers contaminating the world.
But when I speak about foreign American propagandist agenda suddenly the brainwashed "I don't understand what you are saying" "I'm going to ignore you through self censorship" people pop up. Since it is impossible that American philosophy makes victims around the world.
OK. let's have it then. Heal the homosexuals through "Christian therapy". Trample on the rights and freedoms of Guatemala or other nations and keep "liberating" nations at the cost of a million dead people and then blame the victims for "not being able to sustain democracy".
Look it is not that I do not believe that Epstein committed suicide. I really do. It is just that I feel that a government that is NOT corrupt should have made it TOP priority that he and Lee Harvey Oswald would have stood in court.
But no. It is "patent rubbish" to even suggest that the protection of other nations for thought and philosophy foreign to their own on commercial stations should not be under
Scrutiny of the law if that people wishes it so.
Anyway I'll keep following "The Hills" as long as possible. It is a most important TV show for me. As it provides 100 percent evidence that Los Angeles and its botoxed population is still alive and kicking well into the 21st century.
So much more worthwhile than foreign doom prophets keeping everyone under submission and fear of a system of their own devicing.

Ok, let’s see who censors who:
My comment at Youtube: “This guy is not the poster boy for Christian freedom of speech that you all imagine. He is actually one of the higher ups in a horrible tyranical cult that ruins peoples’ lives! The Aussies and Kiwis actually got this right! BB”
Check the youtube comments on this frequently! If my comment is gone, we’ll soon know why all of the comments are supportive of LCG.

Speaking about "The Family" which I plan to watch over the weekend :-) One IMDb reviewer however stated: "Interesting show and story-telling. That being said, the the most interesting part for me was the omission of President Obama from the footage. He, too, like all of the others, was a speaker at the Prayer Breakfast - yet Netflix curiously omits him from the line-up of Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, and then to Trump. Where was Barack?! Oh wait . . . the Obamas are Netflix producers now, I get it. ***moves to scrub the evidence hiding ten screens down on Google and some old YouTube vids of the event***. Conspiracy theories aside, c'mon Netflix, at least PRETEND to be a little unbiased!"
11:19
You are blowing my cover as a secret agent involved in the "IMDB" conspiracy scheme to entertain the world to oblivion. Anyway. Did the Koch's and the Hobby Lobby people sponsor Obama???? Me thinks not. We will soon find out next week after this weekend as it will be revealed on banned. :-) :-) ;-)

So LCG claims censorship by the Australian Government of an LCG telecast? Stop the presses! lol! Where have they been over the last 30 years? Governments in the Western World have increasingly developed into secularist gods and counterfeit messiahs since the 1990s at least promoting their sacrosanct doctrine of political correctness via its education and media institutions and censoring anyone with fines, imprisonment or worse who would dare to disagree or criticize them for their anti-Christian policies. Honestly if you want to use Caesar's resources don't feign ignorance if he demands sacrifices of you as obeisance!
I would love an Auzie aboriginal tribe to find gold and diamonds on their ancestral lands. Then being able to splatter and plaster the Houston and Galveston area with broadcasts on how the Houstonians should return to the old ways of "dreamwalking" and "playing didgeredoo" to save the world from the OIL and CO2 destruction they have waged on "the world."
Then the tribe might find Uranium too and engage in conducting missile tests to show that they mean busines on the didgeredoo thing.
I wonder if there will be "an outcry" to stop or at least censor the "didgeredoo broadcasting".
nck
And of course the aboriginal tribe should send an "apostle" to warn the world to return to playing the didgeredoo and that the world will be destroyed by the very URANIUM THEY found Enriched and USED, UNLESS a Strong Hand from Someplace (as depicted and prophesied in ROCK ART PAINTINGS OF THAT HAND IN KAKADU NATIONAL PARK) will come and save mankind.
ALAS, the aboriginal ancestral lands have been taken by other powers.
So the painted scenario should of course be relegated to the "dreamlands" since we would never commit such a thing as cultural imperialism.

It's hardly surprising that God is cursing Australia with drought. I pity the poor farmers and their starving animals. Muslim writers feature prominently in Aussie mainstream newspapers, pushing their morally Challenger agenda. But Christian preachers have to walk on egg shells in their sermons and broadcasts. It's immoral.
And it's not as simple as voters endorsing government policies via the vote as claimed by Nck. Fringe groups have been shoving their agenda down their nations throat both in Australia and America. HWAs cult being an excellent example of this phenomenon. Perhaps these secular fringe groups learnt from Herb.

Thank you for sharing intelligence data from the grass roots.
It is so expensive these days to have men on the ground everywhere.
US fringe(pressure) groups are currently infiltrating alt right European groups in Italy, Hungary, France, Spain. (Citizen Go). Especially 12 US Christian action groups are under surveillance supporting European political parties for 50 million dollar in a period of 10 years time.
For Americans these amounts may sound as ridiculously low sums of money. However this is just the tip of the iceberg and for European politics these are substantial donations.
Latest Billy Graham EA IRS data is not yet available. Heartbeat International money stream leads to Italy. Trumps lawyer Jay Sekulow's religious group supported European political groups with 12,4 million dollars between 2008-2017.
At the latest Verona WorldCongress for Families railing against the "liberal pope", climate measures, "lefty activists" was rampant. The "dark money" is so much bigger than Steve Bannon paying the occasional visit to Italian monasteries.
"The Trade War" with China and "European destabilization" Efforts are attempts by the USA to maintain its status as unrivalled power and it is being monitored closely.

NCK So what's everyone supposed to do, just roll over, play dead and let George Soros have his way, like Europe has done?
The U.S. isn't the one allowing the Muslim take over of Europe.
9:23
"So what's everyone supposed to do:"
My advice is to pray, work and pay of your credit card debt. And be kind to one another.
If you think the design is by Soros then we could fight it.
"A World Held Captive" however was written way before Soros robbed the Bank of England.
The design is even before the Rockefeller "Prospect for America" policy paper.
But it is not the design that is interesting. It is the people implementing the design like Mr E Babble on.

I agree that it's Satan that we're battling but you implied it was the U.S. at fault. Enough fault to go around.
"Very little of what you say makes any sense to me at all. Taken at face value, it's often patently rubbish."
Most of it is sarcasm I suspect. But what parts? Too hard to figure out. Not worth it.
1:54 All is a matter of perspective. History is written by the ones on top.
My guess is that I annoy people on this blog while I also know that I can make "knowledgeable people's head spin if I desire so.'
1:56 I agree. Most is sarcasm including many spelling errors for copyright purposes. "Takers" would however immediately spot the words that can be googled for the interested.' I posted enough material to make peoples heads explode after just 2 clicks. Therefore I try and post as unintelligent as possible. So most will not research what they cannot handle or would reject to safeguard their bubble.
Let them eat cake.
Nck
1:56 then don't
nck's musings are both interesting and intriguing for me!🤓👍 Unfortunately for some he's "speaking in tongues" or "speaking in parables" and so for them I can only repeat what our Lord said: "By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them."😝😂🤣
Or, 5:58, might he have used illegal street pharmaceuticals in his youth?

I admit to having eaten of the tree of knowledge, as perhaps you are referring to "forbidden fruits."
I am sharing the fruit as highly intelligent people have noticed. The others are startled by presentation including the thick hairy hard even rotting outer layer as they are used to refined coconut milk in their mixed drinks on their cruises and have no clue as to how coconuts are actually found on the white beaches of the Pacific.
I used to entertain my friends with quoting Sri Rajneesh Bagwhan... "Peel the orange and you will find the fruit."
Nck
PS I said before. This is far from an admonishment. I specifically package my posting to startle the uninitiated away immediately Or to intrigue the initiated in the oracles of Nck. 🤔
I am like Brian in "The life of Brian" shouting from the window. Go away I am not special. But the people keep coming inserting their opinions hardly asking questions. An apple a day keeps the doctor and the people away. (as I mused eating from the tree of knowledge)
