Crackpot Prophet Wants You To Celebrate Laodicean Independence Day

God's most highly favored prophet, divinely appointed for these perilous end times, belives he is tasked with guiding God's true people back to the one true church. Never before has the church witnessed such an extraordinary man or a church organization so miraculous. Even Paul and Herbert Armstrong pale in comparison to this remarkable figure.

Today, July 4th, is celebrated in the United States as Independence Day, marking the signing of the Declaration of Independence from British rule on July 4, 1776. This is one of the few national, secular holidays that Armstrongists can observe without fear of being tainted by what they view as degenerate, pagan influences seeking to distort God's truth.

Yet, this day has not escaped the folly of the so-called prophet, who feels compelled to opine on everything and dampen everyone's spirits. Heaven forbid anyone should celebrate with joy and have fun.

This brings us to today and one of the crackpot prophet's rants from July 3:

Tomorrow is USA Independence Day. 

 

Many in the USA will celebrate its independence from Britain. 

 

But what about being independent of the world? 

 

The Apostle John wrote:

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world — the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life — is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. (1 John 2:15-17)

The world and its ways will pass away and be gone. 

 

But being a true Christian allows one to abide forever.

How does one achieve this in 2025? By joining his cult, the only true Philadelphian church in existence today.

Yet, Jesus warned in His messages to the churches in Revelation 2 & 3 that most end time Christians would NOT be Philadelphian. Most will be Laodicean–a term that roughly translates as “people judge.” While many seem to think that is great, Jesus harshly scolded the Laodiceans (see Revelation 3:14-22). 

 

Why will most Laodiceans fail to be true Philadelphians? Because they rebel against God's divine government, established through the illegitimately ordained, self-proclaimed false prophet, the Great Bwana Bob Mzungu Thiel!

Rebelling against the King of England is ok, but rebelling against King Bob is not. Who knew?

Our Philadelphian King continues:

So, ask yourself, who is that one man today? Could God somehow have put him in his office and somehow confirmed it?

Anyone who had been in the old Worldwide Church of God in the 1980s, while Herbert W. Armstrong was alive, should have heard him repeatedly emphasize the importance of proper Church governance and one man hierarchical rule.

But most, after his death in 1986, DID NOT accept this teaching, and many of those who thought they did had issues truly understanding and abiding by it–they became cold or lukewarm.

Now, the Laodicean churches are different than other church eras. The letter to them begins with:

14 And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write (Revelation 3:14)

All but one of the other letters in Revelation are addressed to a church using the singular–the Laodicean letter is addressed to the plural. These churches do not accept the ONE MAN at a time that God uses to lead the most faithful church.

The Laodiceans do NOT accept how God works and DO NOT accept any true prophet of God.

How dare you reject the Great Bwana Bob Thiel! He was personally sent by God to restore true church government and hierarchy in the Church of God, despite refusing to submit to the authority of the Worldwide Church of God, Global Church of God, and Living Church of God. He rebelled against all three and set himself up as our new leader. One must pause here to recall that all three organizations REFUSED to ordain him—flat-out refused! He never even rose to the level of deacon! So, you can see why he needed to anoint himself and establish himself as divinely set apart to form a new church. No one was going to follow him, and he knew it. Yet, even after self-ordaining, 99.999% of the Churches of God REFUSED to follow him.

Only properly baptized people can join up with the Great Bwana King Bob:

If you have not been appropriately baptized, or are not sure if you have been, and you believe you are being called to become part of the Continuing Church of God, you will want to meet with a deacon or minister in the church to discuss church teachings and get questions answers. We have many congregations around the world, several of which are listed on our Congregations page. You can also read about the teachings of our church throughout this www.ccog.org website as well as the 

 

Once you have turned you life over to God and learned about the church, you are ready to become part of the body of Christ. You become a member of the Church of God through being baptized by a representative of the church. Baptism is a critical and fundamental step. Baptism signifies the death of our carnal nature and our being begotten as a follower of Jesus Christ. It allows us to partake God’s plan of eternal salvation. Furthermore, baptism is a public statement to the church and the world that the believer is turning away from loving the world and dedicating his/her life to God.

What is this nonsense about "proper" baptisms? ANYONE—let me repeat, ANYONE—can perform a baptism. You don’t need a Church of God minister, elder, or deacon to do it. It could be the elderly Black woman down the street or a Baptist minister, just like Herbert Armstrong did. You most certainly do NOT need a "man" from the improperly named "continuing" Church of God to do it.

The Great Bwana King Mzungu Bob expects you to join his cult on this Independence Day to gain true independence and return to the truth once delivered, preserved solely in the improperly named "continuing" Church of God. He calls you to embrace hierarchical church government, a system that, in Armstrongism, has led to the most abusive and spiritually damaging experiences imaginable! No one in their right mind would do this, nor has!True independence, whether spiritual or physical, can only be found OUTSIDE the hierarchical Church of God government.

So, as you enjoy your picnics, town parades, and glorious fireworks shows today, remember how free your life has been since breaking the shackles of Armstrongism.
