Herbert Armstrong's Tangled Web of Corrupt Leaders

Philadelphia Church of God's New Obsession With Porn And The OnlyFans Website


When it comes to Armstrongism, if you see it obsessing on a certain topic it is almost a sure bet that its leadership or members are having issues with that subject. That is how the ball has bounced in Armstrongism for decades. The louder they shout, the more they are involved in it.

Abraham Blondeau has an article up on The Trumpet site about the OnlyFans porn site, Our OnlyFans Culture

Blondeau writes:

K

ylie’s $13 hourly wage wasn’t making ends meet. Looking for extra money, she eventually signed up for a role in a pornographic film, earning $1,000 in a day. But her family, friends, employer and small-town acquaintances found out about it. With her reputation ruined, how did Kylie move forward with her life?

She moved away and became a pornographic model full time. Now she operates an OnlyFans account and makes $19,000 per month selling pictures and videos of herself. “I’m proud that I changed my life,” she told the Toronto Sun. “Everyone my age has thought of doing OnlyFans; I was just brave enough.” She still avoids going back to her hometown, saying, “While they are close-minded, judging and miserable, I’m getting rich and having fun.”

Sadly, a woman selling sex for money is nothing new. Thanks to the digital age, though, these activities are no longer limited to dark alleyways. Prostitution and pornography are available to every home and device with Internet. Digital prostitution is one of the most profitable businesses in the world. The OnlyFans website is at the leading edge of on-demand digital prostitution.

This exposes one of the greatest scourges of the modern age: the widespread supply and demand for illicit sex. Our Judeo-Christian culture is being replaced by an OnlyFans culture. During this titanic cultural shift, there is one question no one wants to ask: What does the God of the Bible think about it?

I can almost guarantee that those Herbert Armstrong College students who secretly have smartphones have now been titillated into checking out the OnlyFans site.

Blondeau continues:

OnlyFans is an online subscription-based service started in 2016. Users gain access to content by buying a subscription or paying tips. The creators get 80 percent of the money, and 20 percent goes to OnlyFans. Primarily used by pornographers and models, it exploded in popularity during the pandemic. Currently it has 3 million creators and over 220 million subscribers. Seventy percent of the content is pornographic in nature, including nearly all of the top earners. Since 2016, OnlyFans has paid creators over $10 billion.

Its ubiquity is shocking. It was the 25th-most visited website in 2023. The site gets 3.8 billion visits per year, which amount to 320 million monthly visits. Most of this traffic is funneled from social media sites like X, Facebook, Reddit, TikTok and Youtube. Many “creators” preview their content on social media to try to lure users to pay for the full version.

Every day, 500,000 new users sign up. The average age is between 35 and 44. “OnlyFans followers are predominantly male, owning 69 percent of the platform’s user base,” wrote TechJury. “The women occupy the remaining 31 percent. These men are usually white, married and identify as heterosexuals, bisexual or pansexuals. In stark contrast, the opposite is true for the creators: 70 percent of content creators identify as females. This is due to their greater success rate, earning an average of 78 percent more than their male counterparts.”

This has to really infuriate the PCG and Gerald Flurry to see all this money flowing into a website that they cannot get their hands on. It makes more in one day moneywise than Flurry rakes in in a year. Imagine how many more planes they could buy with that money or more money they could put into idiotic Irish dance stage shows about Old Testament prophets or useless topics like coronation chairs. The lost opportunities are endless!

So what is the solution to this fascination with OnlyFans? These people need to read Herbert's crazy book on sex! Herb had no idea his Missing Dimension in Sex book could solve such problems in 2024 if people would only read it! If they don't, that Unseen Strong Hand From Someplace’ will spank their bottoms!

“Since it is a basic truism that a solid family structure is the foundational bulwark of any stable and permanent society, this fact means only one thing—civilization as we know it is on the way down—and out—unless that great ‘Unseen Strong Hand From Someplace’ soon intervenes and saves today’s sick society.” The late Herbert W. Armstrong wrote those words in The Missing Dimension in Sex in 1981, a textbook that explains God’s laws on sex, marriage and family.

At the same time as Blondeau's article came out, those fun boys at the cult compound reposted one of Gerald Flurry's articles from 2019, A Bigger Pastime Than Sports where he flogs indignantly about the easy access to porn on computers and cell phones. I have to say, those guys in Oklahoma sure must be busy checking out those sites if having the Grand Poobah weigh in on the topic so much. But, this is Armstrongism after all and SEX is as important as Satan is. Both get discussed more than Jesus ever has been.

Flurry writes:

Every second, over 28,000 Internet users are looking at pornography. The Worldwide Web is swimming in it. 
 
Thirty-five years ago, the porn industry in the United States brought in $75 million in revenue. That in itself is shameful. But thanks to the Internet, it has since exploded! It is impossible to get a completely accurate estimate, but the numbers range from $10 billion to $97 billion! As much as we love our sports, we don’t love them as much as we love pornography! Major League Baseball makes only $10.3 billion. The National Football League generates $8.2 billion in income. The National Basketball Association generates $7.4 billion. Pornography is probably at least double the nba—perhaps many times greater—and without any of the prime-time advertising, big-time merchandising or the massive arenas.

It must frost Flurry's butt to see all that money flowing into porn when he deserves it all.

A little down the article he says this:

America spews this filth out into the world. The United States is part of the descendants of Israel. Who are some of the other descendants? Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Jewish nation—all leaders in sins like pornography! Our nations are the only ones that have a history with God. They are supposed to set an example of God’s way of life. Instead, they are doing the opposite.

The spiritual filth that Flurry spews into the world is far more damaging than the porn will ever be. The spiritual health of seeking Christians and of his members has been destroyed by lies and false doctrines. Broken families, marriages, suicides, sexual assaults, and more hide under the dirty clothing of the Philadelphia Church of God.

Do you realize what is really inspiring all this family-destroying smut? The Bible tells us: It is Satan the devil. He is very active, and he is glutting us with these horrible influences. We have turned to the devil’s way, and we are about to see where that leads us. We are being entrapped in sins that wreck our families and fill them with hatred and lies and cheating—the opposite of the character of God. The Bible prophesies that Satan’s violent anger will culminate in the horrific Great Tribulation

The PCG long ago went over to the dark side with its aberrant doctrines and teachings. The satan they decry has had full reign in the PCG for decades. Until they clean their own abhorrent house of filth they have no right to be lecturing the world on the things they think is wrong.

  1. Flurry must have found out that one of his HWA College graduates has an OnlyFans account.

  2. The WCG had old sex perverts (including GTA) and the splinter groups like PCG, GCG, and UCG had old sex perverts too from early on. They are no better than the world.

    1. Both male and female sex perverts exist throughout the splinter groups.
      They do not outnumber the decent people within but it's the height of foolishness to be naive.

      When power and control and a desire to manipulate the members lives exist, so too will full on sexual perversion. All linked together. Beware.

  3. There they go, writing about sex again. They must be obsessed with it. Nobody else ever writes about it, talks about it, or thinks about it. Only the ACOG.

  4. If he did his research for the article right, he would have his own account. How else can he know what he is writing about?

  5. Porn is a big problem though; so while i deplore these cog churches that iinjure their members, it’s good when they come out against it.

  6. Satan has influenced attitudes towards sex, but NOT in the way that most of these guys think! It happened long ago - convincing humans that their bodies and their God-given functions were shameful!

    And if you read your bible you will see that nothing has changed. Israel has been punished by God for wickedness and perversion all through history, and yet they keep doing it.

  9. "Our Judeo-Christian culture is being replaced by an OnlyFans culture."

    Do the banks close for OnlyFans Day? How about the grocery stores or the restaurants? Does the president issue National Day of OnlyFans proclamations or hold OnlyFans breakfasts? Is there an OnlyFans center within just about every mile?

    Christians are doing just fine.

  10. I am reminded of an incident which happened back in the 1980s. I had a customer in the manufacturing sector of a city in Southern California. The business was owned by a middle aged Jewish couple. One time as I walked in, the wife was blatantly staring at me and smiling an unusual number of times. I had known them for several years, so it was unnerving that she would be "checking me out". While I was working on their equipment, the man approached and shared with me the reason behind his wife's smiles. Their rabbi had recommended to them that they occasionally watch an explicit video together as a marital aid. Apparently, I was a dead ringer for the male star of the one they had dutifully watched the previous evening. I laughed, and assured the man that I had never acted in any such videos, and that was the last time it was ever mentioned. I had not been aware that in some peoples' minds apparently there is a right way and a wrong way to use pornography.

    Actually, I really never understood porn. Pictures, videos, or even spending a couple hours in a gentlemen's club have never worked for me. The only thing that ever did was experiencing the real thing.

  11. Just imagine the spell which doctor Bob Thiel would mix up if he had that money. Hope of Israel and Terry Nelson wouldn’t have a chance. Maybe the world needs another pathetic animation telling his 100 Caucasian’s that the money they send to only fans would be better suited buying his herbs and potions.

  12. The PCG website is arguably more destructive to society than a porn site. Well, if anybody ever reads it.

  13. "Porn is a big problem"

    If you spent more time reading the bible and less time obsessed with GF you would not have that problem.

    How about an animation explaining the proper etiquette for your first date with a witch doctor?

  15. The store front in the picture is a similar style to Bob Thiel's health food store.

  16. Guys in the church stand out from those on the outside by being sexually frustrated. Single guys on the outside are "doing it" while guys on the inside are trying to flee fornication. Singles being sex hungry is not the same as being a sex pervert.

    Yep! Bob's store in Grover Beach reminds me of the porn shop in the town I am from. Not that I ever went into it! Cough, Cough...

  18. But the search engines are blocking nudity no matter what your setting. They block things like transparent tops and various sensuous things, You need to be a member of these sites. Quite an anomaly.
    HWA wrote in his book that we must not think of a woman's breasts. Then he finds out that he needs it and frequents prostitutes himself, or worse. Oh ... the American Way.
    Yes, making us ashamed of it is Satan's contribution.

    Don't you believe it is a problem? Over 100 billion dollars a year spent on it and it does harm to families and society. GF and the PCG is not where you would get good insight or counseling, but even their addressing it probably does more good than harm. Probably.
