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.
Herbert Armstrong's Tangled Web of Corrupt Leaders
The irony is that if you insist on reading the 1985 version of MOA, and on believing what it teaches about prophets, PCG will disfellowship you. Some anniversary!
Celebrating the anniversary of a dead cult leader’s book with cake—but still no cake to celebrate the anniversary of your own or your loved ones’ births. Makes perfect sense…if you’re in a cult!
Forty years of lofty lore, a milestone worthy to adore. And how do we, the wise, give thanks? By slathering sugar on boxed-mix planks. A cake! As if the book were five, balloons and sprinkles to keep it alive.
Oh mighty text, reduced to fluff, celebrated with frosting — cheap, and enough. So cut the slices, raise your forks, forget the critics, scholars, dorks. For nothing honors a tome so great, like plastic knives and paper plates.
My goodness! I hope the tooth fairy or some itinerant leprechaun wasn't around to dump some magic Exlax dust into the batter! That would be enigmatic, or enematic, emetic, or some such nonsense!
There was a rock band who chose the name Cake cuz the name is meant to be "like when something insidiously becomes a part of your life...[we] mean it more as something that cakes onto your shoe and is just sort of there until you get rid of it".
When my little brother was in high school, he was going to call his band (a fantasy he was working towards) "Names". My cousin was all into Peter Max, and my brother was going to have him create band posters captioned "Styx and Stones will break your bones, but Names will never hurt you!"
Many Christian denominations condemn birthdays and associated birthday cakes because they reject self love. Members lacking self love are easier to control. This is in contrast to the bible commanding self love as in Mark 12:31 "love your neighbor as yourself."
Well, if this wasn't created tongue in cheek as AI, we could caption it, "Officers of the Ladies' Auxilliary of the Philadelphia Church of God profile the latest in COG fashion as they commemorate the 40th Anniperversary of "Mystery of the Ages".
This is a very important, seminal work to the Philadelphia Church of God, considered to be just as important to members as the Book of Mormon is to Latter Day Saints. It is required reading, subject to a detailed test, for any who wish to become members of the PCG. As Karen (middle) pointed out to this reporter, "In a sense, it is too bad that it is in book form, and not written on a scroll. If it were written on scrolls, we would most certainly be dancing with it this evening, much as our Jewish friends in the Chabad movement dance with Torah! It would be a bit different for us, though. As most folks realize, we are internationally known for our Irish Dancing troup, and that is the way we would be celebrating!"

Karen, Karly, and Kelsey all in one photo.. Bless their hearts.
My that cake is mighty white!
A true and appropriate demographic snapshot for the COG.
Now it’s been a couple years but are birthday cakes still pagan?
Women should be building other women up, not tearing them down.
All you do is bake criticism.
These ladies may not have had any choice. Their cake looks very professionally made. Well done to them.
The cake seems as filling and sickening (buttercream?) as the book.
Yuck!

Who has time to bake a cake like that? And does that help in preaching the gospel or just in making church members fatter?

When I saw this headline (before scrolling down), I immediately had a moment of anxiety.
I'd bought cookies (undecorated) to take to the church snack table. Not a cake.
But I will take them today in faith. Hopefully I will not be judged, ostracized or condemned.
Czechoslovakian foxes ready to party with the swinging Festrunk brothers!.
Did you ever look at some folks, and think, their cake wasn't done in the middle?
Bake a cake for the birthday of a book, but will not bake a cake to honor a person's birthday. Classic Armstrongism!

Reminds me of some Armstrong whooey.....

I agree 3:01 .. These women probably had no choice in being subject to their husbands and their church leadership.
It’s akin to a hostage video and they need extraction.
Who would have thought a trio of women baking and icing a cake would create such vitriolic remarks!
What a time to be alive!
Who would have thought that in 2025 we would see COG women baking cakes for the birthday of a book!
What a time to be alive!
