Those who have had even the slightest impact being involved in the church know that ultimately NOTHING is free in the church.
UCG apparently now believes that their articles are so mind-bogglingly relevant that you will give them money just for reading. Trying to cash in on the success of Substack they think they can do this with their articles.
After a Mario Sieglie article
I saw this the other day when I was looking for something on their website. DO THEY REALLY THINK PEOPLE ARE THIS STUPID?
ReplyDeleteWe would have been all better off with a $395 , "COG Complete Tool Kit" , with a onetime upfront charge, then receaving the "so called" FREE literature, and then be recruited and pressured to be royalty providing share croppers.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately in this day and age, people are actually this stupid. Some will surely do it believing they are supporting a real church that glorifies Christ. Little do they know.
ReplyDeleteI also found it hilarious that they had this after one of Mario's articles. What a hoot!
All I can say is Matthew 10.8.
ReplyDeleteIf I give a 1¢ "other amount" will it cost UCG more than 1¢ to process that donation?
ReplyDeleteI'd give them money to shut up and go away!
ReplyDeleteYet weird things are still going on. We hear that in Australia an elder is in constant contact with a tiny group in the State of New South Wales, gathering (false) information and falsified documents about members. Apparently this is being taken very seriously. Wathc this space.
ReplyDeleteHow do you know ?
DeleteThe members that didn't bother wearing the Sabbath mask, and were openly evil during my WWCG stay, ended up in UGC. They didn't split for no reason.
ReplyDeleteI remember a former WCG member once commenting on the Internet something like, “Never touch anything that says FREE. FREE cost me $60,000.00.” And that was back when $60,000.00 would buy a lot more than it would buy today.
ReplyDeleteThe UCG helps godless and wicked people to behave badly and get away with it. The UCG helps them to remain bad while pretending to be good. That is about all that the UCG really helps with. The UCG is a spiritual fraud.
ReplyDeleteFarce comment fake troll. UCG is an organisation. As in all organisations exist good and bad humans.
DeleteAgree with the general consensus of the above. The only slight disagreement is with comment from Anon @6:23, because ALL of the COGS are a spiritual fraud, not just United. No Jesus, hence no salvation or Holy Spirit, wrong gospel, wrong Covenant, BI, etc etc. makes for a splinter soup of deception. I would gladly pay for all of them to either fold up and go away so nobody else can be fooled or crowd source $$ to send these deceived/deceptive "leaders" to an actual school of Theology, so they can at least get the basics right. Oh, but I dream..and no, Bob, I am not claiming to be a prophet (a false one) like you!

Can you give some specifics to make you claim?
Why do you hate United so much?
UCG is known for having bad people being covered up for.
DeleteI give to some on-line sites, but you can't give to all of them.
ReplyDeleteToo many people want things for free.
Gary should ask for money. Then his ads could compete with those of Dave Pack.
What's wrong with that?

The problem is if I did then it would pull up the ads for RCG, LCG,PCG and the improperly named “continuing” Church of “god”. I already give them enough publicity. 😈
This makes me feel guilty.
ReplyDeleteFor not making a donation to sites like "Open Office" to download their apps.
Gary,
ReplyDeleteHave you considered including a "like" button to comments? Maybe that would be beneficial.

ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the longer I live the more confirmation grows proving how stupid most people really are. And to make it worse they're not getting any smarter!
For instance, in recent decades I've seen stupid, lying, scheming, homicidal maniacs elected as US President to the point now we've got a dementia patient in the oval office! Just this past week a stroke patient was elected as senator in Pennsylvania! And what's so ironic is these sick $#@& want healthy innocent babies to be butchered in the womb when they're the ones deserving to be executed (or euthanized) after all the damage they create!
And yet with every election politicians come out promising "free" medicine, "free" education, "free" this, "free" that and it's all a massive fraud because it's the taxpayer that's in truth paying for everything that the government claims is "free!" And behind this fraud are the banksters who create money out of nothing and then loans it to the government on the promise that the taxpayer will pay it all back plus interest! It's a complete scam and totally evil! But, no one dares do anything to stop it otherwise you might face the same fate JFK did! And ACOG churches are carrying out the same scam since it's the members giving a tithe tax or more of their money to these churches that pay for the minister salaries, venues rented and literature published etc. just like the American taxpayer paying for the politicians salaries, and everything else!
I guess like George Carlin once put it, "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups" and oh how we're seeing this played out and proven before our very eyes each day as these clowns mock us to death! "Beware those men. The jokers and the tricksters and the clowns. They will laugh us into hell!"
They do give out free food and drinks and books and booklets.

Unfortunately, the Google platform does not have that accessibility. People keep asking for it. I keep watching for add on's but still nothing.
That donation grid has been plagiarized. I've seen that same, identical grid used by other organizations, associations, and causes.
ReplyDeleteQuit trying to be original, UCG! Aboriginal suits you better.
9:36 AM, It is not a matter of “hating” the UCG. It is a matter of simply observing what actually goes on in the UCG.
ReplyDeleteThat's right.
DeleteSomething can be helpful without having to be "earth-shattering". Yet another exaggeration of what's actually said, so that you can ridicule your self-built straw man.
ReplyDelete3:26 you get your butt hurt so easily! Here ya go....https://tenor.com/view/zo-crybaby-funny-selfie-gif-14225810
ReplyDeleteGenerally, most folks make donations because they believe that tangible good will result from their contributions. it's part of an unspoken contract. Unfortunately, we live in times when collectors of people who would form their various borgs use money to promote massive badness. They even savor and relish bad events because they know these can be exploited to amass capital.
