Various countries and municipalities that are major destinations for tourists and large groups are now banning large gatherings of people. Tourism to countries like Italy and China have dropped dramatically as has air travel domestically and internationally.
COG members are worried that they will not be able to go to their favorite destinations.
All of this is egged on by various COG prophets of doom as a sure sign of the end times. With the locusts in Africa right now and the coronavirus spreading around the world, the doom prophets of the church are wetting their pants that their prophecies are coming true.
Keeping COG members immobilized with fear is the only way these foolish men have in keeping their members under control and the money stream uninterrupted.
The Church of God International is already speculating about conspiracy theories regarding the origins of the virus. Maybe their consternation about the virus has something to do with it being perceived as a threat to their preferred president's reelection?
ReplyDeleteThat's because CGIs leadership has a bad habit of reading memes instead of books. They fall for every disinformation joke that hits the web.
DeleteWhy read boring books when Smudge the cat is more fun
DeleteNo need to worry. All brethren will be provided with "full body condoms" so as to be able to continue to attend services, and the Feast of Tabernacles.
ReplyDeleteWill brethren be given them free with their offering envelopes Tonto?
DeleteThe ladies will get the ones that are"ribbed for her pleasure"
DeleteSlow work day in UCG then Ocelot/Tonto ? Frequently posting with a sexual angle. Similar to GTA. Interesting...
DeleteWell, I've already seen some dumb theories out there. This one might be the dumbest yet...
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I expected a reference of some kind from a cog making said claim, but nothing. Just another op ed piece?
ReplyDeleteRush was saying on the radio last week that the "Chi-coms" developed it in a lab in Wuhan, and were planning to weaponize it against the United States until it backfired on them.
ReplyDeleteI've overheard some mainstream Christians seeing positives in the fact that it seems to be especially attacking our enemies, like Iran, or trade war opponents, like China.
People are quite predictably going to view the new virus consistently with their beliefs and agendas. I'm just hoping it doesn't become so bad that someone uses it as a pretext to declare Martial Law. That would really bite the big one!

It's NOT fear-mongering. Many COG Pastors will tell you that.
ReplyDeleteThey say those things to build up your faith.
See the difference?
Slow news week? Has any COG actually posted anything about Coronavirus?
ReplyDeleteNo TLA.
Delete1.57 AM
ReplyDeleteYep, they have. The PCG has several articles on their The trumpet.com site, plus it's on the cover of their monthly magazine.

ReplyDeleteThe Genesis plagues all originate through man's experience with transitioning from hunting to settling in one spot together with the animals.
On a personal basis I choose to have contact with (dead) animals only..... in supermarkets.
Nck
Has any COG actually posted anything about Coronavirus?
ReplyDeleteNo bad news left behind. Bob Thiel made at least a dozen posts about it...
I came across a 'Quorum' post that took a shot at Tonto for asking why Bob Thiel didn't specifically warn against Coronavirus. It was followed by a comment that Bob did 'specifically' warn against it in 2013. But his post was one of his 'could be' posts with lots of wiggle-room.
ReplyDeleteA 'specific' warning is more like Jonah's "you have 40 days" - not a rendition of 'could this possibly maybe someday be something that Jesus warned against...'
I was / am hoping banned would / will post a selection of the COG posts,
ReplyDeleteBanned is our equivalent of the drudgereport
ReplyDeleteThe “April 2020” edition of The Philadelphia Trumpet magazine by the PCG cult has a cover article called CORONAVIRUS IN PROPHECY.
Is this the result of too much Corona beer in a drunken runt like That False Prophet Gerald Flurry?
He never knows anything about anything until after it happens and is already history. Then he babbles about it “in prophecy.”
There should be a Trumpet article warning about sexually transmitted diseases for all the old sex maniacs, sex perverts, and predators in Gerald Flurry's PCG cult.
Maybe also a Trumpet article about what will happen to their lying mouths.

Never let a good scare go to waste.
Of course, the real danger is all the malicious perverts and liars inside the PCG cult.
Here's a couple:

@1:51 PM, they're coming close. Now we need to see them flash back to GRF's infamous 1993 public drunkenness arrest in the community college parking lot, and explain CORONA BEER IN PROPHECY.
ReplyDelete@ 4:19, you have your facts wrong. In keeping with the dumbed-down splinter of a splinter of a splinter dating back to 1844's Great Disappointment, prophecy suggests that GRF was consuming MILLER LITE.

Letters From Those Impacted by PCG
“March 3, 2020”
“Also, now all of the Kentucky PCG members have to drive anywhere from 5 to 6 hours round trip to get to the nearest congregation which is north of Cincinnati. I can only imagine wasting your entire Saturday driving hours to listen to a Sermon played on CD. So much for resting on God’s Sabbath. –B.”
------------------------------------------------------------
Gerald Flurry drives his PCG members to driving. Maybe he will drive them to drinking too. Imagine drinking and driving for 5 or 6 hours every Saturday! Corona? Miller Lite? Fudd? CRASH!!!
