Things are not going well with Bob Thiel's African churches. His entire Malawi church group has left the improperly named "continuing" Church of "god". The Malawi churches have joined up with Hope of Israel. This doubly ticked off the doubly blessed prophet because not only have these people left for another group, they have REFUSED to submit to his GOVERNANCE!
Oh, and THEY ARE ALL LIARS!
Well, given the track record of COG leaders saying this over the decades, 99% of the time it all ends up being true! In Armstrongism when there is smoke there is always a fire.
Dear Brethren and Co-Workers in Christ:
Greetings to all of you around the world.
We hope you had a fine and spiritually uplifting result from the Days of Unleavened Bread which ended last evening.
Theresa Diliddo came out here last week for services, Passover, and the Night to Be Observed:

We also showed her some farm animals and a local waterfall.
Terry Nelson is Not in the Continuing Church of God
We received mainly positive reports related to the Days of Unleavened Bread.
One exception had to do with a congregation that would no longer attend services in a building after the owner of the building was contacted by Terry Nelson. The building owner was then saying so many bad things about CCOG leadership in Kenya which the congregation rejected and understood was not true, so instead of meeting at the building, the congregation met under a tree.
Terry Nelson is not part of the Continuing Church of God as he disfellowshipped himself several months ago and help register a ‘Hope of Israel’ group in Malawi. The ‘Hope of Israel’ denies Philadelphia era governance and has chosen to go in a different direction than the CCOG in many ways.
Terry Nelson has marked himself as hostile to the CCOG by intentionally targeting various CCOG members and putting forth various accusations and information that are not biblically-appropriate.
Related to researching one of his “proofs” and accusations related to a claim of financial corruption, I recently sent the following to deacon Grantone Otieno:
Dear Grantone:Terry Nelson has a screenshot attached where he says you said that $50000 was spent on Bradox’s {Ochieng’s political} campaign. Is that something you did say?If so, where did the money come from?Best regards,Bob Thiel
Grantone Otieno responded to me with the following a few days ago:
Greetings Dr. Bob. I know nothing about this.I’VE never accursed Evans with that false accusation.I know really know nothing like that.Many regards.Grantone.
Deacon Otieno also sent Terry Nelson an email saying that and more.
It also should be noted that another ‘Hope of Israel’ leader improperly posted at an anti-Church of God website that the CCOG lost entire countries in Africa–that is absolutely false. The CCOG did not lose one entire nation in Africa, nor even most of one.
Let me also add that since giving the sermon, Hierarchical Governance and Corruption on March 18, 2023, I was contacted via Facebook by a “Joy” who made various accusations against Evans Ochieng. The four people I have had review her Facebook messages to me (Bob Thiel) have all agreed that her testimony is not trustworthy as she has provided contradictory information that demonstrates that–plus she provided statements in contradiction to various facts.
Anyway, please do not be taken in by talebearers (Proverbs 26:22; Acts 20:3) and accusers of the brethren (Revelation 3:11, 12:10).

Accept the mercy you have received, be merciful to others, and do not give up or lose heart.
Sincerely,
Bob Thiel
Pastor and Overseer
Butt-hurt Bob, doing what he does best. Denial.
ReplyDeleteYou do not see, do you Bob? You simply cannot see what others readily and easily see. Why is it the whole world is lying, except you? Why are the ones with whom you disagree, or refuse to believe, liars? How many times are you going to get caught and turn around and blame others? This is getting really old Bob. Same song, different day.
ReplyDeleteBob you are not keeping the 10 commandments, and no, I don't think asking your family to prove you are a commandment keeper is reliable, as you once suggested in a "sermon". You sin, often. We all do. If you say you do not sin, God says YOU ARE A LIAR AND THERE IS NO TRUTH IN YOU! You will never earn your way to Heaven. You, me, everyone who has ever lived, will never be good enough in God's sight, hence the need for Jesus. You have got to come clean with everything Bob, starting with yourself. Bob Thiel, sinner. Bob Thiel, false, self appointed prophet. You know I'm right. Come clean and come to Jesus. Only through Him are you made right with God. All this CCOG, BI, law keeping, etc will never save you. Stop lying and blaming everyone else and be a man. Apologize. Repent. Become a Christian. We sleep very well at night, which I am quite sure you do not.
Rejected Philadelphia era governance ???
ReplyDeleteSuch nonsense. HWA rejected the governance of the COG 7th Day. Rod Meredith rejected the governance of the WCG. Bob Thiel rejected the governance of Rod Meredith.
I guess it's governance when you agree with everything, but then becomes "the new era of the enlightened Church" when you dont, and that somehow you are the new improved continuation.
I suggest to all, to really understand what it meant when the Veil was ripped in the Temple when Christ died. Jesus came not to create a religion , but to throw off the shackles of "go between intermediators" between himself and those he calls. Jesus is the enemy of hierarchal religion! YOU DO NOT NEED ANY MAN FOR YOU TO PLEASE OR SUBMIT TO , in order to be a converted ,Spirit Led , Christ Saved, individual.

Obviously his Passover service was a waste of time. He is already sinning.
Amen Tonto! Preach it to them! Maybe they will hear you and consider the truthful facts you just plainly stated...Please God!
ReplyDeleteAs Evans knows, denial is a river in Kenya as well as Egypt.
ReplyDeleteDid I miss something? Are some of Bob Thiel's people starting a recall election for Mayor Jim Kenney??? Of what interest would Pennsylvania politics be to Africans over in Kenya? Bob never makes a lick of sense, whether he is writing, or attempting to give another sermon.
ReplyDeleteLil fake prophet bobby is a big joke.
ReplyDeleteBob: You need to study your Bible more. You wrote how to forgive someone who is not sorry but you didn't include the following verse: Luke 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
ReplyDeleteYou forgive.......if the person repents and is sorry. See also Luke 17:4. (Was this ever taught in the WCG?)
Wow Terry Nelson must have really struck a nerve. Lil tiny Prophet dreamer Bob does not even have the balls to publicly disfellowship or mark him. LOL instead he writes that Terry disfellowshipped himself and marked himself.
ReplyDeleteBobby the great bwana and dreamer of Africa would not be man enough to serve under Mr. Armstrong in the old WCG. They would never appoint such a weak poor excuse of a man child.
