Exposing the underbelly of Armstrongism in all of its wacky glory! Nothing you read here is made up. What you read here is the up to date face of Herbert W Armstrong's legacy. It's the gritty and dirty behind the scenes look at Armstrongism as you have never seen it before!
With all the new crazy self-appointed Chief Overseers, Apostles, Prophets, Pharisees, legalists, and outright liars leading various Churches of God today, it is important to hold these agents of deception accountable.

Crackpot Bob and Malachy
The crazier the conspiracy theory, the more Crazypot Bob secretly believes it.
Malachi and Malachy are two different people. Malachy was a Catholic mystic who made predictions about this supposedly being the last pope that leads the world into the apocalypse. Lots a blithering nonsense that Bob, for some absurd reason, feels is important to regurgitate endlessly as if it were true and then in the next sentence say not everything the man said was true or has happened. Malachy is like Bob when it comes to the Bible's definition of a false prophet. All it takes is ONE failure to happen and they are a proven liar. Bob is a proven liar as a prophet and doesn't deserve to be followed.
Got it. Read up on it. Scholars consider it to be a hoax for various reason, and it's in no way any sort of official Catholic document. Just the sort of thing that would appeal to Diploma Mill Dude.
"We also see that the demonically-possessed do recognize God’s true servants."
Is this why the Roman Catholic Church conducts more exorcisms than the ACOGs? Is this why most Roman Catholic dioceses have a priest formally named and set aside as the official exorcist, unlike the ACOGs? Is this why, before Vatican II, there was a canonically distinct role of 'exorcist' in the Roman Catholic Church? Looks to me like Bobby's dormant Catholicism is showing itself unwittingly here!
Instead of always worshipping Herbert, Bobby need to look at Pope Leo-XIV. He is a humble, kind and down-to-earth man. He loves the people unlike Herbert.
What about the fact that Robert (Bob) Thiel and the new Pope both have the same first name? Pope Bob, Pope Robert, if he had not chosen the name Leo. Thiel is the Pope Bob of his church.
The post photograph does yourselves no favors. I'm beginning to wonder are you sadists? Did Jesus not die for Bob Thiels sins as well as your own ? Bob's not allowed out of your box.
He has proven himself to be disruptive, 11:21! Like the kids in class who always co-opted the teacher's and serious students' time. Like so many of the disruptive kids in classrooms around the world, he was unteachable and ended up dropping out of class. Now, his heart is hardened, and he won't repent and go back to class. He thinks he knows more than the teachers and the system. His salvation depends on his own choices, good or bad. You'd think he'd have realized that he's blown it as a teacher by now, but apparently he believes it's everyone else who needs to repent, and turn to him, the great and allegedly doubly blessed prophet!
It's difficult to perceive his writings and sermons as other than onamatopoeia!
I’ll take the shot at Christianity and point out that however much it may indeed be a grift, “Common” is a New Testament teaching. Jesus shows himself to historically have been an Essene. They were a communal, non-militant (but not pacifist) sect that indeed would often form collective colonies holding things in common. I don’t like it. It contradicts the Law of the God they claim to worship. But it’s the way Jesus set things in motion.
And now, you see a guy profiting from it. At least we don’t see him literally killing people for not paying, like Peter seemed to do (Acts 5 — Remember, Peter carried a sword, and there was no Second Amendment back then).
The Apostle Paul, who so many see as the one who separated Christianity from Moses, as a Pharisee actually over the course of his ministry made Christianity both more biblical (the Hebrew Scriptures being the Bible of their time) and more livable. 1 Timothy is the mirror opposite of the early Christian church’s lifestyle (which is likely why the Christians Timothy was preaching to rejected Paul in the sequel). Jesus-anity would’ve gone the way of the Shakers but for him and his continued acceptance elsewhere. Allegedly, in my opinion.
More reason why Jesus really wasn’t the prophesied Messiah.
He keeps saying he doesnt rely on it, but spends a considerable amount of space on it.
ReplyDeleteBob's problem is that he never really let go of his Catholic upbringing.
ReplyDeleteNo, and it clearly still affects his thinking in some areas.
DeleteIs the misspelling of Malachi a play on words? If so, I'm missing out on the joke.

DeleteBob today, May 10, posted about "purple" and a demonic encounter in Lydia.
ReplyDeleteHuh? The encounter was with a slave girl, not Lydia. And he says.....
"We also see that the demonically-possessed do recognize God’s true servants."
Oh now I get it. Bob's obsessed with demons b/c they recognize him as God's true servant???????!

ReplyDeleteAlso, "Leo" means "lion." Bob Thiel is always lyin', so he has something else in common with the new Pope.

I didn't know pompous self righteous judgement on others was a virtue 1:59.
DeleteUnlike you, 10:08, who has been sitting in self-righteous judgment on here for the last several days.
DeleteGive an example false accuser.
DeleteStill waiting.
Delete10:13. What are you blabbering on about?
DeleteMalacky is considered a spurious document because it appeared about two centuries after the bishops death. It was completely unknown until that time.
