I do not know where the Church of God and especially the Living Church of God would be without sex or evil spirits/demons constantly in their messages. Demons and evil spirits are more powerful than their god who seems unable to hold them those bad spirits in check as they destroy the church and its membership.
Gerald Weston writes:
End-time events are heating up. This is obvious to anyone who has eyes to see. But why? The book of Daniel tells of a remarkable, ongoing spirit war then taking place in Persia (Daniel 10:12–14, 20–21). Our world today and the events happening in it are difficult to explain without understanding that there are unseen spirit forces at work. The prince of the power of the air and his powerful assistants are moving in our world (Ephesians 2:2; Mark 9:28–29).
For 80 some years now we have heard the church tell us that the demons know their time is short and that is why they persecute the church so much. It is always their fault instead of the inept leadership that tends to be abusive narcissists. Prophecy is coming alive before their eyes...sigh, we have heard this same worn-out routine for decades, and noting they have predicted has come to pass.
These evil spirits must know that their time is short. And, although we do not know how short or when Satan will be cast down as described in Revelation 12, that event and the consequences of that battle are certain. Please do not read into this more than is intended, as it is likely that we will only understand the timing of that event in retrospect. But what we see for now is that prophecies we have known for decades are coming alive before our very eyes. While we have the overview of prophecy, we do not know every detail—but the stage is being set. Speculation is alluring, and fine when kept in perspective, but let us focus more on what we know for certain than on what we can only guess may happen.
Weston sees the membership as particularly susceptible to these demonic forces who they let take over their minds and bodies to cause division in the church. Not that the ministry would EVER do such a thing! As usual, these entities are more powerful than Jesus.
We see an effort by the evil side of the spirit world to polarize and divide mankind at all levels. Sadly, even some in the Church have allowed themselves to become instruments of those unseen hands causing divisions. This problem is not new (1 Corinthians 1:10–13; 3:4). Again, please do not misunderstand; Paul was describing what was happening within the Church of God in Corinth. He was not promoting some form of emotional ecumenism to unify groups that had chosen to separate. He addressed that problem in Acts 20:29–31 and elsewhere.
Brethren, we must not get caught up in worldly controversies and political strife that evil spirits are stirring up to create division. Rather, we must keep our focus on what God has called us to do, especially as we see the events that we have talked about for decades occurring at warp speed before our eyes. Politicians and media have their agendas and messages, but we, as the body of Christ, must recognize why God has called us—to proclaim the good news of a better world and to warn the current world of what is happening and why.
Imagine if they spent that same amount of energy on keeping their focus upon Jesus, that inconvenient dude that's always messing up their plans.

One thing that I find interesting is if you look up the lCG information lets say on wikipedia (for an outsider to see), it's all these people who left there organization. It's Thiel, Munson, R. McNair, Bryce and so on. Are they causing division, because they are no longer there?
You know when cooperations or organizations want to reach a common goal, they sometimes merge and combine their organizations to become more powerful.
I mean they all come from Worldwide anyways, right.
Seems like the very same Satan that causes division has influenced their splintered leaderships to cause this problem in the first place. Look in the mirror leadership you are your own problem and own worse enemy.
So if you question church teachings or defend yourself against church members who give themselves all manner of perks, you are a tool of Satan. This accusation is mostly a means of intimidating members into silence.
Wow! Looks like all of the ACOGs are getting new art work for their Hall of Administrations!
“Warp speed”

As an outsider, I wonder what they are seeing?
For over eighty years, the COGs have been claiming that the world is rapidly coming to a close.
All the horrors predicted by Herbie never materialized.
Now, Weston doesn’t bother to specifically identify the end time events that he declares are coalescing at “warp speed” - yet presumably, his followers see the same.
This cultic leading and following is alarming.
Herbie also indoctrinated the people that Evil was intensifying, because they new their days are short.
That COG doctrine comes with the unstated, yet underpinning belief that Evil had been lazy in its mission, throughout the ages, but has now awoken to see it is late, and must hurry, intensify, and compensate for lost time.
The COGs believe Evil has become more Evil - which is bad news for them, since they reject Jesus as Redeemer and Deliverer.
All the people can do is step up their giving, try to build character, and hold fast to the COG - and hope they will earn salvation.
Weston, thinking virtually like the hireling Doug Winnail and other x-cog hirelings, wrote: "...let us focus more on what we know for certain than on what we can only guess may happen..."
******
When will Weston focus on that himself?
Weston, like Winnail, focus on another Jesus to return very soon to reign on Earth for 1,000 years, but how do they know that? For decades now, these hirelings have guessed wrongly, because like babes, perhaps driven by the very evil spirit (another spirit) that they are telling us about, they really only know the spiritual milk and not strong meat.
Weston, like Winnail, focus on their own working for salvation, rather than the work of God mentioned by Jesus Christ:
"Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." John 6:29
Both hirelings believe that Jesus is the God of the Old Testament, while it is God the Father who is the God of the Old Testament (Acts 3:13).
It appears that what Weston and Winnail know for certain is really not for certain, but are only their guesses for decades!!!!
Focus on Jesus: not another Jesus, for a change has been suggested to these hirelings.
Jesus gave us His Father's Will:
"And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day."
John 6:39
The Bible indicates that all human beings will be given to Jesus Christ, and if Jesus Christ isn't going to lose any, then perhaps Weston & Winnail can focus on Grace, mercies, and nail down how God the Father is going to pull all of that off, but will these hirelings (including all of the splinter hirelings of the former Pasadena WCG organization) ever do that? Time will tell...

Gerald Weston has the key to figuring everything out. He says, "Our world today and the events happening in it are difficult to explain without understanding that there are unseen spirit forces at work."
Damn! Now I see why there is war in Ukraine, conflict in Afghanistan, and a growing trend toward Fascism in the U.S. and many European countries. Unseen spirits, that's the cause. It's so easy! No need to study history, economics, religion, or psychology.
And floods, drouth, melting glaciers, and sea level rise? You got it: unseen spirit forces at work.
Best part is, it explains absolutely everything just as easily. I forgot that I had left a burner on yesterday and moved a pan of beans onto it to cool. Scorched 'em before I noticed what was wrong. I never used to do such things. But this is our world today, not back in the old days before Unseen spirit forces invaded the US and British Commonwealth, including my 80-year-old brain.
Now I'm all set to explain anything that needs explaining, and I'll never have to think in order to solve puzzling problems again.
Those who don't allow associating with other believers are causing division. The bible commands that those who case division be marked and avoided.
Romans 15:17 says "I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. KEEP AWAY FROM THEM." (NIV).
