If you thought Armstrongism could not get any crazier after the silly antics of Bob Thiel, Gerald Flurry, and Dave Pack, think again!
The Kitchen Clan (Samuel, Timothy, Timothy Jr) have really stepped in the red heifer do-do this time. They have long imagined themselves as the TRUE Worldwide Church of God carrying on with the name after WCG apostatized and became Grace Communion International.
They even have stolen as many works of Herbert Armstrong that they could collect to pass off as the "official" registry for all things Herbert. They justify this theft as "fair use".
They see themselves as having a ministry far better than even Bob Thiel's little fledgling church. The Kitchens have Herbert's truths while Bob has only his dreams and a diploma-mill theology degree from India.
The Kitchens are currently in Jerusalem and have set themselves as 'the two of a family" from Jeremiah 3:14. As the Two Pillars, they will use Herb's materials to "preach" the truth and usher in the return of Christ. Poor Bob Thiel is always a day late and a dollar short.
Somehow, I think they believe Herb will be resurrected to preach a final witness to the world. It's hard to tell from their nonsense below, but it is pretty obvious.
This is what the Kitchens posted on Facebook yesterday:
Jeremiah 3:12-18
" Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever.
"Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the Lord."
Continue..
"Turn, O backsliding children(A PEOPLE WHO HAVE KNOWN THE WAY OF GOD, AND HAVE SLID OFF THE TRACK), saith the Lord; for I am married unto you".. Christ is married to the Church!!!!
What people has known the way of God and had heard Mr. Armstrong? God's Church! He is speaking to those who ARE OFF THE TRACK!
Let's continue...
"I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion".
Now interesting enough, this is speaking of bringing God's Church to Jerusalem!
Some news... My brother Tim and myself are now in Jerusalem! We are TWO OF A FAMILY! These scriptures are very alive for us and we are here for a purpose! These scriptures are about the membership of the Worldwide Church of God coming to Jerusalem NOW!
Notice as God's people gather together in Jerusalem... "And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding...(So we dont have to worry about ministers brethren, God will bring the right ones. God will nourish his Church for 3 1/2 years. Read Revelation 12)
"And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land(AS GODS PEOPLE TRAVEL TO JERUSALEM), in those days, saith the Lord, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Lord: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more."
Now this is IMPORTANT! God's people are looking toward Christ's return!!
"At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord"
JESUS CHRIST IS COMING TO DETHRONE SATAN! Satan's seat and throne is going to be deposed!
Now if Christ's throne is Jerusalem that means Satan has moved his seat to Jerusalem! What this means is after the Church comes to Jerusalem, armies will come and surround Jerusalem, and the beast and False prophet will appear HERE IN JERUSALEM!
NOW unto Jerusalem: "all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart."
THIS IS SPEAKING OF YOU BRETHREN! IT IS SPEAKING ABOUT US! THE WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD!
"In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north(GOD'S CHURCH GATHERS)...AND GOES WHERE?
"...to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers."
Unto Jerusalem.
After arriving, we can read where we go from there, what Christ says to those IN JUDEA and also what we read in Revelation 12.
The foundation of the Temple has been LAID! Christ used Mr. Armstrong for that purpose of restoration. Now let it be known the pillars of philadelphia are here to lift God's banner and voice up in Jerusalem!
We are closer to world events crashing down! But it is because God's Church coming to Jerusalem that the United States of Europe will rise up and try to destroy the Church, and when that fails locally they will go back to AMERICA amd CANADA and the UK, and AUSTRALIA, back to the countries where God's Church was living, and then nuclear war will break out and invasions. War will be waged by Satan on those of the Church WHO DID NOT COME! WHO DID NOT HEAR GOD'S WARNING!
SO PAY HEED BRETHREN! BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
Well, crap! How many more of these blithering idiots does the church need to make itself look even more stupid than it already is?

This truly has to be the stupidest thing I have read on here lately in the COG. How can anyone be this deluded?
Well, many thousands are expected in Jerusalem Israel to attend the Feast this year after a near two year hiatus.
The ICEJ, International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, has for many decades kept this Feastival; open to Christians from around the world.
It’s Feastivals have being well attended in the pass, and is available this year on zoom for those who cannot go. Various speaker’s from across the Christian world who share a deep love for Israel and the Jewish people will be there. Their mission is not to seek converts but to educate the church about Israel’s place in todays world and to show the church that Israel has not been forgotten by the Divine or replaced but is at the forefront of His plan for humanity.
These ‘two pillars’ currently in Jerusalem have no show. Israel has its own fare share of ‘nutters’ within Judaism and Christianity, two more will make no difference at all.
Well, we have Bob Thiel and David C Pack, why not the Kitchens?
Uh oh, the Kitchens got a case of full blown Jerusalem syndrome!
#JerusalemSyndrome
SING ALONG TIME--- Sing to the campfire tune "SOMEONES IN THE KITCHEN WITH DINAH" ...
Someone's at the Temple with Kitchen...
Someone's with Kitchen , I know., oh oh, oh..
Someone's at the Temple with Kitchen...
Strumming on the old banjo!!
Tonto, I have to laugh! That happens to be my first name. Funny, after reading the article the other day about PCG's obsession with biblical names for their boys.
I can attest to the fact that song has caused me many a laugh..use your imagination and just fill in the blank when you get to the line, "Dinah won't you blow my xXxX!!!
This is another example demonstrating that once people become radicalized, they remain that way for life, and progress from bad to worse. Back when Ayatolla Khomeini returned from exile, and the revolution took place in Iran, I realized that the sort of fanaticism which this brought into play was very similar (although several degrees more radical) to the fanaticism I had witnessed growing up in Armstrongism. I reasoned at the time that if such a thing could occur in the Muslim religion, it could also take place within a Christian context.
There is an abundance of pretty scary stuff going on all around us. Tried and true conventional wisdom and time honored practices are falling, giving rise to government by conspiracy theory, ignorant mob rule, and repudiation of the advancement of mankind and societal evolution and norms. It affects us all in ways not previously imaginable. There is rejection of science and established facts, and mistrust of foundational and fundamental institutions, even as the constants of planet earth have been altered by man's greed, and the obvious turn of nature against us is ignored by the willfully ignorant who largely caused it in the first place. Nothng really surprises me, and personally I am just attempting to savor what we have left each day even as we watch it disappear. This is all stuff that could have been avoided, because it consists of things which mankind is doing to itself.
It must affect Armstrongites in especially difficult ways, because it is an obvious departure from the "understanding" which HWA claimed and taught about the end times. So, it does not surprise me that some would attempt to insert themselves into the melee, to try to grab front row seats and preside over it all as gate keepers. When the radical David "bent" Ariel died, I realized that another similar radical Armstrongist would come along to follow his example, taking up his delusions and mantle, and here we are. The Kitchens have been trending in this direction for some time, and although they embrace the same flawed theology, they do not have the obvious and very visible and laughable defects of Bob Thiel, David Pack, Ron Weinland, Zerrubabel, or Gerald Flurry. I expect them to do a lot of damage with this new project of theirs, possibly similar in international impact as Rohan. Radicals are dangerous. They can even foment or inflict additional horrors which might not have been intended in original prophecies
To show how incredibly stupid the Kitchens are, they fail to tell their loyal followers WHERE to meet in Jerusalem. The Kitchens are just like Bob Thiel. It's all bait and clicks with no substance.
Apparently, Bob Thiel's god failed to send Bob a dream that he too could have been one of "The Two". ...always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
I can’t believe I actually used to believe and follow this kind of stupid human bullshit….like I’ve said here for years, and now others are also, what a clear case of Jerusalem Syndrome…search for it on YT….you won’t be disappointed.
Hell maybe the Bopsie Twins will set the Al Aksa Mosque on fire…
Last I heard, the Kitchen Clan ran a window washing business. The fumes from the cleaning chemicals must be to blame.
Window washing was the most common form of employment for a lot of WCG members in the Peoria, Il area. Apparently, it was the same in other areas as well.
Actually, speaking of "the pillars" I was speaking of the Church of God in the Philadelphia era, who are the pillars of the temple as described in Revelation 3.
I was speaking of ALL MEMBERS of the Church. Not ourselves.
We are calling all people who believe what we have received via Mr. Armstrong, to Jerusalem for the Holy Days. To be counted at members of the Worldwide Church of God.
What happened after Mr. Armstrong died is the responsibility of men and women who DID NOT believe the same things.
But the membership who have stayed loyal and true and faithful are still here, and to those we are requesting to COME TO JERUSALEM. Exit from where you are and reach out to us when you have arrived.
The Worldwide Church of God is the seal of the apostleship Herbert W Armstrong has.
Let us gather together, Assemble together, and keep God's Feasts and worship God together and show the world we are still around.
I believe this will trigger some people. To see or hear of the Worldwide Church of God assembling in Jerusalem. We have not accepted the options provided to us by the Pope and Vatican! Their "COGS" are designed to take the membership away from their Worldwide identity, into a more of a Catholic one. And if not into a catholic one into one where it makes the catholics look good and right.
So we see the practitioners of catholicism in the COGS, pretending to be the Church of God but lying.
What we are declaring, is the Worldwide Church of God has REJECTED THE VATICAN AND POPE, and still exists in spite of all the attempts to snuff us out.
Our God is greater than any other "god". The "god" of this world is Satan. He will be DEPOSED! So what kind of god is he? If the God of Heaven is greater and superior, believe GOD! DON'T DISBELIEVE HIM!
The troubles, evils and conflicts we see in this world, among brethren and non brethren alike, are all because of Satan and his attitudes.
The Worldwide Church of God seeks to destroy the barriers that have been dividing our people up, and for every one who believes God to come and be counted as witnesses to the testimony of God's Church!
We are alive! You haven't killed us. The gates of the grave have NOT prevailed against us. Glory be to God. Every attempt from SATAN WILL FAIL! AND MAY GOD SHOW IN POWER THAT WHAT HE SAYS WILL COME TO PASS.
Sam, could you send me $20-30,000 to cover my costs for airplane, food, hotel, car going to and from Jerusalem? I haven't made merchandise of the brethren by vomiting false tithing doctrine.
We gave others in the past, like Ron Weinland, the benefit of doubt, at least initially. As things progressed, it developed that Ron was wrong, and he did not keep his promise to go away if he ended up being wrong..
Let's just see if anything comes of this project from the Kitchen family. After all, the wisdom of Gamaliel is timeless, and we only have a few short months to wait for the results.
Maybe instead of using the term Jerusalem Syndrome , the term Armstrong Syndrome should more accurately be used….
Merchandising the brethren? What about putting a donation tab on a website, or telling people you love God but teach heresy? What about the people who sent thousands upon thousands of dollars to build up organizations that are the states and both the state and the Bible say they are "not for profit".
What about telling people you believe God's Word but instead you teach the opposite? What about the broken families and homes caused by the treachery and betrayal of those who called themselves brethren? I have not collected one dime from tithes of brethren, and you say I'm merchandising the brethren? I'm speaking with my own name. I'm not afraid of people knowing my faults and my shortcomings, because I seek to serve the Lord! Nothing else matters. Nothing else does.
I mean that.
But I'm not trying to sell a bag of goods. I'm pointing to the Bible and say to those who believe the Bible to COME. That is all.
God comes first. And for those who live God and put God first then I invite you to Jerusalem. Let's assemble together and serve the Lord with all our might.
2 Peter 2
1) But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2)And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3)And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you..."
Jesus Christ said in Matthew 10:33 "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."
In Luke 10:16 Jesus says of the apostles He sent out, "Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me."
That is who denies Jesus Christ!
Those who are Anti-apostle are ANTI-CHRIST!
It is they who monetize the membership who are labeled "false prophets" and "false teachers".
They don't want to involve themselves in "the work of God", but rather in the work of men, seeking a following to go after THEM.
The Worldwide Church of God supports Mr. Herbert W Armstrong. He is the apostle of Jesus Christ. Anyone who is anti-apostle is anti-Christ. And it is they who is condemned with these scriptures. TITHING is not a heresy but a command of God.
And for someone bringing up the prices of $20,000 - $30,000 for a flight to Jerusalem, I am sure you've lived enough off the merchandising of the people of God. It's about $500 now to Jerusalem in the USA. Or near that price. It's very easy to get a cheap ticket. So big spender....you got a lot to explain for yourself.
"I'm not trying to sell a bag of goods." Oh? Sam, you're trying to sell us the idea that HWA was a man of God, an apostle of Jesus Christ. Most of the Banned folks know the Plain Truth about Herbert Armstrong. We know he was an alcoholic, a child abuser/molester who incested his daughter, a false prophet with over 200 prediction failures, a plagiarist, and a lover of luxury who used the monies of impoverished members to live the high life at their expense. Yes Sam, you may not be trying to extract money from us, but you're really trying to sell us a load of manure as gold!
