PCG Munchkin So Excited About King Flurry's Wedding He Wakes Up In The Middle Of The Night With Excitement!

Sooooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Philadelphia Church of God is not known for having men of integrity in its leadership positions. Even worse are the children of these men who rise up in importance and are given leadership positions. The men that Gerald Flurry has selected to help run his empire have tended to be as abusive or worse than Gerald himself. The one thing that Flurryism despises the most is familial relationships if its members have to come into contact with family members who are not part of the PCG.

Parents have been told to turn their backs on their children if they are not part of the PCG and especially if they were once Church of God members and now are not. Children who are students, employees, or church members have disowned their parents if they too have left the fold. This only applies to the lowly members though as the elite carry on relationships with those in their wayward families.

Below is a letter that was sent to Exit and Support Network detailing how ecstatic munchkin Grant Turgeon (son of Wayne Turgeon) is with the announcement that King Gerald Flurry is getting married to a  woman who came to him for counseling.  That counseling apparently taught the woman to submit to church government and when King Flurry wanted to marry her she could not refuse! It is proper church government, after all! Lil'Turgeon is almost on the verge of wetting his pants with excitement at the glorious announcement that Gerald is continuing the God Family with his marriage. He is so excited that he is waking up in the middle of the night to....um....think about it.

The links in the letter lead to further information on the abuses in the Philadelphia Church of God.

On November 2, Grant Turgeon (son of Wayne Turgeon), aired on his Behind the Work program “A Big Announcement,” which was about Gerald Flurry getting remarried on Nov 16. Grant gushed as he said he knew about this two weeks in advance. During that time he admitted he could hardly contain himself until he could tell about this “joyful news” that he said is “a good thing.” 

Referring to GF, he said, “Sixteen years of being single has been completely devoted to doing God’s Work.” [Translation: completely devoted to exploiting, controlling and lording it over as many families and children as possible, as he deceives them about the gospel of grace.] 

Grant said it is “challenging to be single and to not have that help at home.” The question is: how is GF going to treat this new wife who will be his “help at home?” Will it be differently than how most PCG husbands have treated their wives? (Read: Are You Being Abused By Your Husband?) What is she expecting to receive from this marriage to King Flurry? Or is she merely going to take care of him and cater to his every need in his old age? I think it’s obvious that one of the things she will receive is the honored prestige of “being married to God’s Apostle and That Prophet.” (Read: Biblical Titles Gerald Flurry Has Appropriated For Himself.) 

“Some people [in PCG] end up not getting married” Grant tells us. Would this be because of how extremely difficult GF has made it for them to find a mate–someone who must be in PCG? We have posted many testimonies and letters about this. 

Grant carried on about how all of us must be obeying somebody, if not multiple somebodies, because “there is a government structure in everything God does.” (Read: Why do members emphasize the government of God?) He said “Everyone is submitting to someone” and mentioned God, Christ, a boss, a supervisor; a certain role within the home. But it seems he intentionally left out “obeying GF” which members know they are to do since they have been told he “speaks for God” and that every word that comes out of his mouth is truth! 

Grant told about the “joy and beauty in proper submission.” This is an atrocious statement given the testimonies on this site of those who have been abused and had their lives destroyed by this so-called “submission” and the horror that lies behind many closed doors in PCG marriages. He used words such as “unselfish and unloving,” “moving as one unit,” and “character building” family roles. What dream world has Grant been living in?? He either does not have any inkling of the abuse going on beneath his nose in PCG (which is very hard to believe)–or else he is choosing to ignore it. 

He mulled over what Gerald Flurry’s marriage could do for God’s Work as we follow GF “as he follows Christ.” What a crock of B. S. Is it Christ-like to lean back in your easy padded throne while you divide and destroy families? Where is Grant living?? On Mars? Or close to the feet of King Flurry? 

This marriage of GF’s is supposed to have “such an impact on God’s Work.” Like Loma‘s did on Herbert Armstrong? Until she died without medical care? It is supposed to “push the Work forward for this final surge.” “The final transitional phase of God’s Work.” Haven’t we heard those words a thousand times before? How many more times do we have to hear them? 

Grant went on to quote several words by HWA from his marriage booklet which says, “Man’s stupendous potential is to enter divine family life.” (the God family) “Marriage was given to us by God to prepare us for the God family.” In like manner, GF must keep that false goal of a “God Family” (which HWA copied from the Mormons) in front of the members’ eyes constantly, even though it is absolute blasphemy to consider such a thing! 

He finished by telling us that he “wakes up in the middle of the night excited about this marriage announcement.”

Here is Lil'Turgeon sharing his excitement. This has to be the most pathetic thing I have heard in a while.
