  1. That picture looks like a typical PCG congregation after so many years of dwindling. Even now, most of those chairs are just there for looks.

  2. It says in the bible, give everyone a holy kiss. Stop reasoning around it. Just do it.

  3. Gerald Flurry's PCG cult is a destroyer of HWA's writings, the true gospel, families, etc.

  4. Why is there a table in the middle of the room? To separate the men & women?

    1. Virginia... hmm probably to separate whites and blacks as was the custom of HWA, and is the custom GRF.

    So you're saying PCG is 1/3 good?

  6. Wow. Such bad memories.

    That photograph evokes memories of the hundreds of fearful hours I spent in a low-rent hall just like that one, but with no social distancing. Seventy-five of us Worldwide Church of God members sat in those perfectly-aligned folding chairs every Saturday (oops, Sabbath) for about two hours, being warned that if we didn’t do better, we were headed right into the Lake of Fire.

    We “knew the truth,” and God’s (well, Herbert Armstrong’s) church. We were therefore obligated to do everything instructed from the pulpit (well, lectern). Fail, and it was going to be the Lake of Fire. Just had to, each week, get rid of those Laodicean forces and tendencies that were creeping in, overtaking all of us but the leadership.

    For thirteen ominous years, never a hint of joy, hope, or pleasure; for me, just fears and tears.

    1. @anon 8:05 AM Those scars from being in one of those abusive COG’s will always be there. But you were smart enough to walk away from all the fears and tears! And you are free now. Free to make your own decisions, free to live your life the way you want to. Free to love God the way He intended it: without fear.

      I admire you courage!

  8. Strange looking set-up. That set-up would work if people didn't stand around and fellowship for 45 minutes to two hours after services. Considering that fellowship is such an important part of the cultic experience at services, what are PCG church members going to do?. Stand 6 feet apart and shout at each other for that time? Or will they do what mainstream church members do, leave shortly after services. Wouldn't all that talking cause the air to be filled with covid 19 germs? Oh that's right, they all likely will be wearing masks. Do you really think that many PCG members would be complying with CDC covid 19 safety guidlines?

  9. Gerald Flurry's PCG cult was the most satanic splinter group around, until David Pack's RCG cult came along. They are both extremely evil.

  10. With all the names, titles, offices, and positions that Gerald Ray Flurry has given himself, maybe he could fill that room all by himself.

    1. "The sack of hammers"

      How about just, "the sack"?

  12. Max Meadows? They have a congregation in Wythe County? Their members must drive an average of an hour and a half at least. They probably get a member or two each from Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.

    They probably picked this site because it's at the intersection of Interstates 77 and 81.

    They also have to drive past the Fort Chiswell factory outlet stores so I wonder how much surreptitious shopping happens on the Sabbath.
