Gerald Flurry has been over in Jerusalem trying to impress the Israelis with his magnificence. Like Bob Thiel, Flurry thinks he is God's end-time man who was set apart by God to bear witness to the world and turn people to the one true church, whatever that is.
Exit and Support Network has this appalling news about the Flurry clan's latest trip to Isreal and how much it is costing.
Gerald Flurry Gallivanting to the Middle East in His Expensive Jet Plane:
March 15, 2022
Here are some “fun” math facts to consider about GF’s jet plane: (Gerry=GF; Steve=SF)
1. Gerry’s G450 holds 4,370 US gallons of fuel.2. It gets 5000 miles per tank.3. OKC to Jerusalem is 8,663 miles.
According to globalair.com, the average cost per gallon of jet fuel (in the central USA) is $5.18/gallon. To fill Gerry’s 4370 gallon tank for approximately 5000 miles costs $22,636.00.
Jerusalem is approximately 8660 miles away. So a one-way trip, fuel only, no international fees, pilots costs, airport fees etc., is a cool $39,205.00. Round trip is $78,410.00 fuel only!
(These numbers are not exact but are definitely well in the ball park)
I was in the PCG for many decades and I can assure you there are very few people who even make $78,410.00 a year.
While Gerry is gallivanting to the Middle East on the members’ dime, most struggle to fill their tanks, put food on the table and put off dental care. And for what?? A library in Jerusalem. He’s going to educate the Jews on their history. He’s trying to hobnob with some archaeologist, following in HWA’s footsteps. This involves payoffs to insert a few students into a dig so he can fool the members into thinking they are a part of something significant in order to keep them chasing the ever-moving horizon, and lining his, Steve’s, and Laura’s pockets.
At the moment, a business class ticket from Oklahoma City to Jerusalem is $4,900.00 round trip. For under 5K Gerry can fly comfortably, enjoying all the food he desires, and can get as drunk as he likes without having to worry about bribing any Oklahoma police officers. –Former PCG member [name withheld]
Readers here may remember the main reason Flurry bought this plane...he was disgusted at the idea of sitting beside unclean heathens on a commercial plane when traveling. These unclean people might speak to him or cough in his direction and give him some horrible disease (this was pre-covid). Even worse, someone might recognize him as a major preacher of God and might ask him difficult questions.
ReplyDelete‘Even worse, someone might recognise him as a major preacher of God and might ask him difficult questions’.
Wrong.
No one would recognise GF.
And he is not a major preacher of God.
That said ,I am appalled that he may open a library in Israel.
Any further information available on this? Time to knock on a few doors to block this endeavour.
Of course he is not a major preacher of god, but he imagines himself as one.
ReplyDeleteIn a long con, appearance is everything. The plane is a prop, used to make him appear far more important, wealthy, and influential than he really is. It assists him in conning the Israelis. Alas, Flurry is not wise in the way of grifting. Skilled grifters do not tap or use their own resources. They use the resources of unwitting others POP! Wow, I just had a revelation, literally mid-sentence! Flurry is not conning the Israelis. They are not the victims! They are unwitting players in his scam! The real victims are Flurry's members and coworkers, and the jet, the fuel, and the trip are all part of his take!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the Plane Truth
ReplyDeleteAnon 4:59 It's plain truth.
ReplyDeleteIt was a pun.
DeleteFlurry is disgusting. A selfish, narcissistic liar and FALSE PROPHET!!!

Hang down your head Gerald Flurry
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head Gerald Flurry
Youre ego is bound to die
You took people from the fountain...
From the fountain of life
Took people from the fountain
Messed with their after-life.
Hang down your head Gerald Flurry
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head Gerald Flurry
Poor boy your ego trip will die
Fat and happy is the drunk
ReplyDeleteUnto whom your tithes are paid
Though he's an ungodly runt
He must be obeyed
All he does prospers well
For the suckers send their dough
They are chaff before the wind
Scattered to and fro...
That money could have been used for the poor in the PCG.
ReplyDeleteThe plane is a prop, just like all the fancy titles these leaders give themselves.
ReplyDeleteHow are they typing all over without being vaccinated. It’s impossible since the restrictions are still in place, so members who are advised to not take the vaccine should start asking questions.
ReplyDeleteIt is really sad how little Flurry and the PCOG ministry care for the lay members. But I guess in retrospect looking back, it is pretty much the same HWA was in his day. They really just demand blind obedience and for them to send in $$$ at their beckon call. Pretty much the same way Putin treats the Russian populace. If any one questions their actions or authority they are liquidated.
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny and sad at the same time. Flurry is trying to be just like H.W.A.. What is new? The man is not dealing from a full deck! One wonders if he actually thinks that he is the reincarnation of H.W.A.
ReplyDeleteHow are they typing all over without being vaccinated.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand. Unvaxxed and anti-vaxx people do a LOT of typing to share their concerns. It's not as if they'll die (and be unable to type) if they don't get vaxxed. At least until they get sick, it's easy for people to type without being vaxxed.
I don't understand how Flurry has been able to maintain the intensity of his idol worship for so many years! Me? As soon as I know enough about most things to the point where they become routine and predictable, I get bored and am on to the next thing. Max shelf life on anything has generally been 7 years. Magazines used to last me about 3 years, until I always knew in advance what the writers would write on any given topic. To keep me engaged, there must be a constant influx of new ideas and materials. Sometimes, I've put something on the shelf for years, and then when there are new developments (and I mean substantive developments), I'll pick it back up until it becomes routine, unchallenging, and boring again. I'm very fortunate in that there have been radical changes in the field in which I work, but certain aspects of that even become routine from time to time.
ReplyDeleteI never really found any depth to Armstrongism, depth that would keep me excited. I was in search of radical and transformational enlightenment, and all I ever found were simplistic cliches and tyrannically enforced routines, excuses, backpedalling, and just plain caca d'el toro. I marvel at all of the unrequited lives which resulted from false prophecies, never providing validation for all of the sacrifices members made, and the ways in which they were required to subvert their own personalities. Knowing that you spent a lifetime paying dearly, and the things you were promised would happen never did would most likely create great confusion and insanity right prior to death.
Sadly nobody within the PCG has any idea how much these trips cost. If they did, I don't know how excited they'd be about them. Not only do the long trips cost a ton, the plane also has to be flown once a month for legal or maintenance reasons. Most of these trips are just the pilots flying the plane around without any passengers. It truly is a money pit for those tithe payers.
