An anonymous source sent in several items of documentation concerning the Church of God International Texarkana church. Quite a few of its members have been infected with COVID at the Hot Springs Feast site. The interesting thing is that the Texarkana official church site makes no mention of this, but the private Facebook group has numerous members asking for prayers as they deal with COVID infections. The Hot Springs Feast organizer is one of those infected.
The source mentioned this:
My guess is that many Armstrongites got Covid at the feast, but they do not want to admit it publicly, only to other church people privately.
And I am not suggesting that the church leaders are necessarily behind this cover up. I think these people are simply embarrassed because they have fought hard and long against vaccines, masks, and social distancing. And now they contracted Covid at the Feast, where “God placed His name!”

Pure evil that you expose this!
UCG had an entire feast site close down due to mass covid infections.
How could they not see this coming? We decided to stay at home for the FOT again this year. We've been around the COG long enough to know that all kinds of people show up at the Feast.
Too many in the various organizations already display a lack of love for others, so why would they quarantine when sick? They come to the site(s) sick, or get sick there. They drag infected children to services, and more people get sick. Many of the members are in 60-90 age range. Why take a chance on getting sick? Stay home and listen online.
Several of the sites are tourist havens and vacation destinations. They are hardly the Millennial settings that the Feast pictures. The COG has gotten further and further away from what the Feast is supposed to be about...THE MESSAGES.
It should be obvious to everyone by now that the vaccine is worthless (according to the DOD, 60% of hospitalizations are fully vaccinated individuals)
Masks are worthless. Everywhere mask mandates are instituted the infection rate goes up.
Social distancing might help if you keep 30ft apart, but that is totally impractical.
It's a virus. It's out there. You will likely catch it at some point. It is survivable (99.9%). There are many highly effective treatments for it. Don't fall for the fear hype.
And now they contracted Covid at the Feast, where “God placed His name!”
For decades, people have been getting STDs where "God placed His name." Babies have been conceived out of wedlock. Older men have molested younger men and children. Flu outbreaks have been routine.
There's always been plenty of sin in Jerusalem, even when the Jews believed that God had placed his name there. Why would a Feast site be any different?
I usually watch the CGI service from Tyler TX on Youtube. This past Sabbath they showed the service in Atlanta. The speaker said services in Tyler were cancelled due to covid. They should be back next week.
Anybody who says KN-95 or the blue surgical masks are not effective (if worn correctly) is talking crap. Biker bandanas, or masks made from pantyhose or your underwear are indeed useless. There is a reason the healthcare industry has been using the higher quality masks for decades. They provide excellent protection.
According to the WHO masks are a critical element in slowing the spread of COVID 19.
Numerous health professionals, look it up, have determined that mask wearing, as unpleasant as it is can save indeed stop the virus or slow it down and should be mandatory wearing, as well as more rigorous hand washing and personal hygiene regimen implemented.
These measures and getting vaccinated can have a positive impact on communities far and wide.
There is no need to fear the virus but use common sense, think of others, i:e love your neighbour by taking precautions as needed.
I wear a mask when I am out in public. I loave them but wearing one may just save a life. Perhaps even mine or my loved ones.
Some would say that is the essence of Christianity.
masks can be of some value if you are trained in the protocol and follow it rigidly...the general population is not and therefore infection rates soar when masks are mandated.
there is a school system in Illinois where a judge ended a mask mandate and the covid cases went from around 11 per week down to 2 per week almost immediately.
a similar thing happened in Georgia...masks were dropped and the infection rate dropped as well.
for the general public masks are the problem...
It is indeed peculiar that pro-Trump people form the majority of those who complain about masks and mask mandates being ineffective and even dangerous. The below the surface inference is that they are the ones who do not grasp the protocols and/or are too stupid to know how to use them properly. It is fact that last year cold and flu season was very mild, and healthcare officials have cited the prevalence of masks as being the reason why.
Some of the reasons masks don't work for people is that political partisans resent them so much that they make "protest" moves, like wearing them so they don't cover the nose, or wearing the same one for thirty days, wearing any ol' mask including single layer wide weave cloth, or failing to observe the companion protocol of frequent use of hand sanitizer.
Alas, I really don't care about the stupid people. After all, we once all insisted on drinking unpasteurized milk, and opted out of small pox vaccines because our precursor to Trump (HWA) taught us those things.

Those havens and vacation spots may be a lot more realistic of what the millennium is about than many have even imagined. Why?
During the millennium, Satan will be in some pit and for 1,000 years before being loosed to again cause war, and worldwide deception again. It will seem like a human utopia, without Satan (I John 3:8; 2 Tim 2:26; James 4:5; Eph 2:2, 6:12, etc.) in their lives...kind of like a haven, a vacation; however,
Jesus Christ will be nowhere around, b/c well over a dozen scriptures in the Bible tell us He will be at His Father's right hand (Even a Bob Thiel, great bwana prophet falsely so-called, could research them out and yield to some truth if he weren't so caught up, infested/infected in himSELF (James 4:5; 2 Tim 2:26), vanity, self-righteousness, etc.) for some time to come...and beyond that 1,000 years.
So, if the Feast is about THE MESSAGES: what messages?
After all, Christ will not be reigning on earth with any of the former WCG hirelings, including HWA, JWTkach senior, et al. And neither Moses, nor Elijah or John the Baptist will be there either, FWIIW!
Have we not heard enough of Satan's counterfeit messages? The entire world is leavened by Satan's counterfeit messages. Kind of like COVID-19, which has also leavened this entire world, which can't quite figure out what is going on with their (Satan's? Matthew 4:8-9) world.
When will all of our enemies be overcome, overwhelmed, subdued? Not today, not in a season like when Satan departed from Jesus Christ, not until some time after the Mickey Mouse Millennium (envisioned by so many as taught by HWA, although he never called it Mickey Mouse), not until a short/little time/season after Satan exits the pit from his temporary "pit-stop!"
Let's hope Bob Thiel does not read this comment, and then he strives to explain to us whether that little season for Satan is an identical time period as the season during which Satan, a master counterfeiter, departed from Jesus Christ when He walked this earth.
We are witnesses learning to hate evil (and counterfeits are evil), and time will tell...
