The Philadelphia Church of God is a dying aging church filled with people over 65. There have been a lot of reports coming out of the cult compound in Edmond that many HQ personnel, ministers, and regular church members are suffering from major illnesses.
For the everyday folk, those people are told to stay home and put their faith in some kind of god that Flurryism follows. That god will heal them from all trials and tribulations, and if it doesn't then the members need to look at it as a test of their faith.
For the Flurry clan, most of these rules do not apply. They hit up doctors whenever they want, just like Herbert Armstrong did while telling us to wait for that anointed cloth to arrive.
Brad Macdonald had this to say the other day:
At first he brought up how earlier that day they heard about how some members there locally (in Edmond) are “really struggling with some pretty major health trials.” One is Janet Dattolo (wife of Fred Dattolo–yes, that Fred, the minister whom Dan De Gennaro held responsible for the death of his daughter Janet and who also gave a sermon warning singles). Brad said Janet Dattolo is having more difficulties and pain because of her cancer. He briefly mentioned that others had the following happen: a stroke; a fall; kidney failure (John Krueger); diabetes (Andrew Locher). These were “just a few of the brethren here locally” he said. But added that he is “sure there are others out there.” And there are brethren around the world, he said, “who are experiencing similar health trials.” (No mention of how the “shun doctors ruling” is contributing to their suffering.)
He quoted verses in I Corinthians and said God “uses trials and tribulations to grow our faith and develop patience and test our patience and grow us in godly character, to shape and mold us into perfect god beings.”
This kind of verbiage is exactly what HWA spouted to members repeatedly while he was trotting off to doctors. This whole study made me sick because of the way members have been brainwashed since day one into not going to doctors but “trust Christ” and are now suffering much more than if they had availed themselves of one.

Fred is power hungry, but both he and Janet know they are taking part in a terrible fraud. Unfortunately, their livelihoods depend on continuing in it. I can only begin to imagine the stress Janet must be feeling, which is likely to be making her body all the more vulnerable to the cancer.
ReplyDeleteLike 5:31 "It's not the healthy who need a doctor but the sick."
ReplyDeleteThere's no condemnation of doctoring in those words.
I guess Luke wasn’t a physician. You know when you are brainwashed, common sense or a sound mind goes out of the window.
ReplyDeleteFat Locher has diabetes. Living La Vida Locher,
ReplyDelete>>>>There have been a lot of reports coming out of the cult compound in Edmond that many HQ personnel, ministers, and regular church members are suffering from major illnesses.
ReplyDeleteMY COMMENT:
But the worse illness that they are suffering from is MENTAL ILLNESS!
They make their choices, and are responsible for whatever happens to them.
ReplyDeleteThey need a win….. you watch, Andy will do intermittent fasting which if done correctly does infact take care of diabetes and they will say God healed him.
ReplyDeleteThey need a miracle right now and they just don’t happen lol n that organisation.
I have known the Dattolos for years and I can tell you they are exceptional actors. They know it’s not real and still put on such a show. It’s a marvel to me how they can do it and still sleep at night. Oh well what’s goes around cones around.
ReplyDeleteMr.Flurry is our Doctor. You all need Help on this Blog
ReplyDeleteInteresting that you said "Mr Flurry" instead of "God" there. Quite the tell, really.
DeleteTheir membership is crazy brainwashed enough, they don’t need your help!
DeleteMr.Flurry is our Doctor.
ReplyDeleteFlurry has admitted that HWA wouldn't have recognized him by face or by name. Would that make him Dr. Who ?
"Mr. Flurry is our doctor."
ReplyDeleteClearly, that is your problem. Let's see how it works out for you!
If Gerald Flurry is "Mr. Flurry" then what is Stephen Flurry? "Master Flurry"? "Mini-Flurry"?
ReplyDeleteI still remember how amazed I was when I read, in one of Pope Herbert's last co-worker letters, where he reported that a doctor had recommended blood transfusion as treatment for his ultimately-fatal illness. They had actually DISCUSSED the possibility, and he he had rejected the idea - NOT because of anything that the Bible had to say about it, but because the benefits would only be short-term, and that transfusions would only delay the inevitable. I was astounded that he'd admitted considering it, and, moreso, that he'd actually TOLD everybody that he'd considered it. Through the years, moments of cognitive dissonance, like that one, were what kept me from buying into the WCG teachings completely, and I'm very grateful to God for helping me to keep that mental distance.
ReplyDeleteIf all the PCG minsters died off the world would be a better place. But Satan keeps them around for a reason.
