LCG: Back On Its Favorite Topic - The Gays...

 

Where would the Living Church of God be without scapegoating gay people as the source of all the world's problems?
For decades, Rod Meredith was fixated on an anti-gay crusade. Something in his early life triggered an obsession that bled into every letter, article, and broadcast. Perhaps it stemmed from his idol, Herbert Armstrong, who once remarked that Meredith seemed effeminate at times. Meredith faced this issue a lot while growing up took up boxing, becoming a "Golden Gloves" champion—a fact he never let anyone forget. Overcompensation? Maybe. His relentless hatred was often so intense it made him look utterly foolish.
Then there's Bob Thiel, who seizes every chance to rant about gay people causing one catastrophe after another. His eyes practically gleam with visions of his god casting them into a lake of fire or rounding them up into concentration camps in the Midwest or Canada.
Yet, while Thiel foams at the mouth and flails his arms and wrists, he ignores the mess in his own backyard. One of his African leaders abandoned his wife and is committing adultery. Others dabble in witchcraft, while some cozy up to young women to "comfort" them on their travels as they are proclaiming a witness in a few places in Africa.

What will Bob Thiel say when an earthquake inevitably strikes his home in Arroyo Grande, California? Will he call it divine punishment from his god or a test of his unwavering faith? And what about the Living Church of God? When a hurricane or some other disaster wreaks havoc in Charlotte, will they claim it’s God’s wrath for their mistreatment of members or a trial to prove their loyalty?

This is why no one takes these delusional men seriously anymore. Decades of lies, failed prophecies, and absurd biblical interpretations aimed at others—while their own lives and churches fester with depravity—render their words meaningless. These clowns will never deliver a powerful message or a credible warning to the world. Even their supposed god seems to mock their hypocrisy!

If I were them, I’d keep my mouth shut; their track record is already a perfect 100% failure. They constantly need scapegoats to prop up their self-righteous egos.

Armstrongist ministers should clean their own house before casting blame. The corruption and degeneracy in the Church of God’s ministry could outshine any Hollywood scandal!

Sobering Signs of the Times: World events and trends increasingly resemble biblical situations where God dramatically intervened in human affairs. God sent a flood to destroy a world that had become filled with violence, wickedness, and evil (Genesis 6). Some 400 years later, God obliterated Sodom and Gomorrah because of their perverted and depraved behaviors (Genesis 19; Ezekiel 16:49–50). Lot and his family, although warned, were reluctant to leave because they had grown accustomed to and tolerant of the evil around them. Today, the same sinful behavior that the Bible describes as an “abomination” to God is accepted and promoted, such as homosexuality, same-sex marriage, and transgenderism (Leviticus 18:22–23; Deuteronomy 22:5). We are also told that biblical examples are recorded for our admonition today (1 Corinthians 10:11). We need to wake up and come out of the ways of this world so we can be in the coming Kingdom of God.
Have a profitable Sabbath,
