The Day The Philadelphia Church of God Was Publicly Humiliated

Remember this news story below? 

This was even more humiliating than the day Gerald Flurry got nabbed for public intoxication, 
when a cop stumbled upon him roadside, surrounded by a glittering carpet of beer cans—like he'd thrown a solo kegger and lost to the pavement.

  1. It looks like a much younger Steven Flurry. I noticed how Steven said that his father believes that he's That Prophet rather than he is that prophet. He has distanced himself from his father's claim.
    I thought it dishonest for the program to mention 2nd and 3rd tithe without an explanation. It sounds to outsiders as if members are giving 30% of their income to the church.
    And the church's claim that tithing is voluntary is laughable. Yes, a member can refuse, but we all know that they will be kicked out of the church if they do.

  2. Follow the traffic laws Flurry! And no $25 is not going to cut it.

    1. It is when people are drunk that they are more their true selves. So if Flurry tried to bribe a police officer when drunk, it shows much about his true character.

  3. So like, HWA, the end is very near, so let's build a 15 million dollar fine arts center. Makes perfect sense. It belies, however, a subconscious belief that no Jesus is really coming soon but we will be found "so doing", whatever we want until then.

  4. A web search shows KOKH did its probe of PCG right before Thanksgiving 2008. That's why Stephen Flurry looks younger.

    PCG responded with a series of full-page ads in The Oklahoman taking KOKH to task. It actually invited people to visit the Edmond campus - but noticeably did NOT invite anyone to attend a worship service.

  5. There's no Herb wannabe like Flurry. And Stephen has as much charisma as a tree stump. I imagine he's still a dick like he was at summer camp. Once the old man kicks the bucket, PCG -- like all the COGs -- will die. So sad to see the waste of life in the meantime. I've been free 25 years and so grateful I discovered life without those childish and violent fantasies about the end of the world. Living your life for the end of the world is the saddest life you can live.
