LCG has supposedly been sending out their most dynamic men to do presentations pontificating on the dire situation the United States and other Israelitish nations are in. Satan is pissed and ready to wreak havoc on the world through the Catholic Church, the Beast, and Germany. Evil Germans are ready to take citizens captive or fry them in ovens in soon-to-be concentration camps scattered around the country.
Sadly, or maybe, fortunately, that message is falling on deaf ears as Satan works his magic and keeps millions from attending LCG's presentations.
Last week, we held six Tomorrow’s World Presentations—three initial presentations, in Trois- Rivières, Quebec, Canada; Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia; and Columbus, Ohio; and three follow-ups, in Little Rock, Arkansas; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and Peoria, Illinois. These presentations had a combined total of 106 guests. This week we have five presentations: four initial presentations in St. Louis, Missouri; Cookeville, Tennessee; Blue Ridge, Georgia; and Springfield, Illinois; and one follow-up in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. Thank you all for your continued prayers for these presentations.
Here are the latest population stats for these cities dating from 2017 - 2021.
Trois- Rivières, Quebec. 137,188

The total potential audience that LCG had the potential to impact was over 3,796,023 souls, and yet they could only get 106 guests COMBINED to attend these lectures, of which probably 1/2 - 3/4 were LCG members padding the audiences.
A reader and former LCG member recently said this about the presentations:
Back when I was there, it was almost all LCG members.
Doubt if it is any different today.
The work of God goes forth in the most powerful manner than ever before!
Perhaps the opportunity given to these cities is more important than the mere 106 guests who attended.
ReplyDeleteIf no one knows about it, its not an opportunity.

DeleteHow do you know that "no one knows about it?" As for myself, I have no idea whether non, a few or many know about it. Only God, and not RSK knows the real numbers.
Their promotion is terrible. You have to really hunt for it. Theyll run an ad in a physical newspaper or occasionally a FB ad and thats about it. And the delivery is soooo lackluster. There's no god in that uninspired garbage, hate to break it to you.
DeleteI was going to make a pithy comment….but why…?? All of you people are brain dead XCGs zombies who won’t listen to anything….nor will you change
ReplyDeleteNever fear, Aug. 19 at 4:54 PM, about the effect of aborting your planned comment. I found this one quite pithy. It pithed me off.
ReplyDeleteHow far the church has fallen if LCG thinks 106 people are a good response? They pass off to their members that 106 is brand new people. It is not. I worked at HQ for many years. These numbers include mostly LCG members who are encouraged to show up to make the room look full. Members are not told this in church news reports. Of those 106 people maybe one will express some interest and actually attend church. It will not be too long till they stop attending.
ReplyDeleteDo NOT trust the men at HQ to tell you the entire truth!
I remember praying daily for 8 million Plain Truth subscribers out of 5 billion. I remember breaking the 100,000 response mark for the telecast out of 5 billion. We have a history of making small numbers look big.

ReplyDeleteWe changed the moment we left the church to freely follow Christ and not some dead spiritual daddy that so many look back at Armstrong as. Freedom in Christ and actually being part of the New Covenant is an awesome experience, unlike the drudgery of being an Armstrongite constantly looking over one's shoulder waiting for some angry god to strike you down. Once you stop began a slave to Armstrongism your spiritual life will flourish!
A lying spirit has taken over LCG. They are so far removed from God that they are blind to it now and sadly most of their members are believing the lie and going along with it. Those that wake up and see it need to get as far away from that organization as possible!
ReplyDeleteSo, here's a concept to make sense of this a little bit. In LCG, as in many ACOGs, the doctrine of the Little Flock is taught. This concept is logically humorous, but I once believed it too. In a nutshell these things are simultaneously true;
ReplyDelete1. The church is SUPPOSED to be small, so if only a few respond, that's proof that God is working.
2. If a lot of people come, that's because God is blessing it.
3. If other churches get bigger, it's proof that they (the big church) is not of God because the church is Supposed to be a small one.
4. If your church grows, it's proof that God is blessing it.
5. If people leave your church it's because God is 'sifting' the church, and they had never been true members.
6. If people join your church from other churches, it's because God was working with them all along.
It's a quite handy PR tool.
Hi Seth. I enjoy hearing you speak.
DeleteSince I live in Peoria, I wonder how many new people actually showed up? I'll bet they were lucky if they got a couple of newbies.
ReplyDelete@2:22: Seriously, I doubt that God is even concerned with the numbers. It's all garbage anyway, so the numbers really don't matter, except maybe to somebody's mother.
