The Worldwide Church of God site
Europe and especially Romania are trembling in their shoes right now after they discovered a "WCG member" visited their countries. Samuel Kitchen has been on a European/Middle East tour spreading his message about Aaron Dean, the revival of the Worldwide Church of God, and the two witless witnesses he predicts will soon be walking the streets of Jerusalem proclaiming the words of Herbert Armstrong.
Who will those witnesses be?
Samuel and Tim Kitchen?
Aaron Dean and Samuel Kitchen?
Bob Thiel and Aaron Dean?
Dave Pack and Gerald Flurry?
Aaron Dean and Joe Tkach Jr?
Dennis Diehl and Gary Leonard?
Inquiring minds want to know!
If I were Bob Thiel, I would probably have interpreted this quite differently. Someone on a forum about 15 years ago said that he'd heard Ron Dart joke that one of the two witnesses would probably ride a red Harley. I, of course, immediately declined! I'd heard enough of that Amstrongite parental wishful thinking while I was growing up, as did many of the other church kids.

When I worked in Pasadena with Robin Webber's mother, she used to proclaim that he was going to be one of the two witnesses. Apparently, he had a miraculous healing as a child that caused her to think he was specially chosen by God. Now he is just another low level stooge in UCG.
DeleteThe Worldwide Church of God always exsisted. IT is not a revival it was never dead. It is a spiritual Church. God is not mocked.
ReplyDeleteWhat silliness. The WCG has not always existed. It is dead. Deader than the skunk I saw on the road last night. There is nothing spiritual about it. Blasphemous, yes, spiritual, NO!
DeleteGod established the Church of God. Herbert Armstrong established the Radio Church of God. Stanley Rader established the Worldwide Church of God. The Kitchens are backing the wrong horse.
DeleteThe Kitchens are backing the southbound end of a northbound jackass.
DeleteI believe 1:52 is referring to the spiritual body of Christ, not any specific physical group. Their comment reminds me of something I once read ie the worldwide or universal Church of God in Rome gradually became the catholic COG in Rome, then the Roman Catholic COG and finally just the Roman Catholic Church. Even nowadays the RCC will refer to it as the COG. Also this is why I believe HWA renamed his church WCG.
DeleteDidn't HWA go to Romania back in the day to get treatment for his ED? Maybe the still have his Plaster Claster mold and they can buy it and go give it to Gerald Flurry for his HWA shrine.
ReplyDeleteYes, he did. That is where he supposedly got a penis pump to make his erections more firm for his new love, Romona. Can you imagine being a clinician in that clinic and having to see old Herbie undressed in all his masculine glory?
DeleteCue Cher's Gypsys, Tramp, and Thieves!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll vote for Dennis and Gary any day. The trib would certainly be more fun with them! Can you imagine Bob Thiel wandering the streets of Jerusalem flapping his arms and bouncing all over the place, crying because no one will listen to him? The comical shit show that Armstrongism has descended into could never have been written by the best of Hollywood.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that the two witnesses will be high school teachers. This would have given them experience dealing with difficult people as well as public speaking. I shy away from ministers being the two since their experience is in a sub culture rather than the real world.
ReplyDeleteRomona Martin? What became of her after she divorced HWA?
ReplyDeleteShe became the two witnesses
DeleteYes, what did become of Ramona after her divorce from HWA?
DeleteRamona lived happily ever after. Nobody knows this, but Herbert W. Armstrong changed his original name. He had been John Beresford Tipton, the inspiration for the TV Program, the Millionaire. It's how the College got Ambassador Hall. As HWA, Tipton found new ways of building wealth, involving a church, a college, and the CIA. But, in his new life as a Televangelist and Ambassador without Portfolio, he never again made any more individuals into millionaires, except for Ramona!
DeleteDidn't Dave Pack settle this about a year ago, named the witnesses Haggai and Zechariah? But Zechariah himself didn't know who they were - Zech 4:13?
ReplyDeleteDoes Aaron Dean even know who Samuel Kitchen is? Does he want his bottom kissed by Kitchen?
