Herbert Armstrong's Tangled Web of Corrupt Leaders

Why Are So Many COG Leaders Such Pathetic Speakers


If you thought watching bouncing Bob Thiel was painful, get a load of Wade Cox and his pathetic sidekick. These have to be the two most boring men I have ever seen "preach" in Armstrongism. 

Remember, Wade Cox is such a dynamic tool of God that he has converted over 50% of Africa to his church, even convincing Muslims to join with him. This is such a miraculous feat that even the Great Bwana himself has been unable to accomplish.

Armstrongism truly has some of the most idiotic men as leaders of splinter groups imaginable. 

You can watch this trainwreck here. All you need to watch is the first few minutes, and you will need a stiff drink, or maybe an ear enema.

  1. Isn't Wade Cox the guy that sues everybody just for mentioning his name in a negative light?

    1. Yep. He also was kicked out of the Australian military for psychological reasons. I believe one of the xCOG blogs did some research on this several years ago. I'm sure the documents are still out on the internet somewhere.

  2. The blowing of the note papers is more fun than Bob's flapping wrists, though both flap rather entertainingly well.

  3. I watched a programme on surgical procedures in a Chinese hospital a few days ago on Sky TV. Fascinating viewing, the doctors and staff were all interviewed, fortunately with English captions on screen. These were true professionals in every sense of the word. Which brings me to the video shown. About as exciting and riveting as watching a graveyard. My goodness I’ve heard three year olds speaking with more clarity and power than these two ‘witnesses’ of the Armstrong movement. Their final demise can not come quick enough. And it surely will.

  4. Armstrongism is such a load of crap that anyone who teaches it except the inventors of it are going to come off as boring. All that's left of it is keeping the rituals and waiting to die.

    Followers are stuck in a time
    warp waiting for something to happen, and it never does!

    I'd feel sorry for the Armstrongites, but they bring this stuff upon themselves, and try to get us to join their misery.
    Fat chance!

  5. Oh dear, two old men, sitting outside on a windy day, without a muffler for the microphone to cut out wind noise, their papers blow about, and they are incredibly boring to listen to with nothing more exciting than the man's papers almost blowing away near the beginning.
    But, I created a more interesting version of the video at https://grok.com/imagine/post/3d2aa8a3-9493-4940-acbb-e1a7f607dd2f?source=post-page&platform=web

  6. Talk about boring speakers. They should have a butt numbing speakers Hall of Fame with the CoGs. Waterhouse, Blackwell, Flurry could all put one in a Rip Van Winkle trance. I think I heard HWA preach about the 2 trees 20-30 times. I think some of their sermons were more effective at making one tired and sleepy than Ambien.

  8. Not all COG leaders are pathetic speakers. Some build their entire ministry around it and the only success they have is their speaking. The theology of some of them is literally ridiculous

  9. I just about soiled my jeans last visit to the Painful Truth! Would you believe their latest blog entry actually praises Wade Cox??? The dude was running for public office (he lost) over in Australia.

  10. I saw that too! Anyone who praises Cox has a few screws missing! He is nuts. If you do a deep dive through the internet, you will find out shocking things about his so-called "illustrious" military career.

    Thank goodness he lost! Can you imagine a COG cult member in the office!
