You see, Crafty ol' Satan—ever the sore loser—has clearly dialed his minions up to overtime plus hazard pay, all because he just can't handle the radiant glory emanating from the improperly spelled-but-definitely-legitimate "Continuing" Church of God. No other splinter group in this dispensation dares to suffer like this! While lesser Church of God outfits potter along in boring obscurity, our hero faces relentless cosmic warfare. Why? Because the moment Bwana Bob drops one of his earth-shattering articles exposing the deep truths the rest of us are too cowardly (or deceived) to see, Satan throws a tantrum and hits delete.
It's exhausting, really. No sooner does the Great Bwana painstakingly recreate his vital writings—carefully re-typing every divinely inspired word—than those pesky demonic minions swoop in again like digital vultures, wiping the slate clean. Entire treatises on prophecy, nutrition, and why everyone else is wrong vanish into the ether faster than you can say "shadow-banning." One battle after another! The man can't even enjoy a quiet moment of self-publishing without the Prince of Darkness throwing another hissy fit.
When will that stubborn adversary ever learn? Just leave the Great Bwana alone already! Clearly, the devil is really, really, really rattled by all this explosive truth being unleashed upon an unsuspecting continent.
If only Satan would take a long weekend or something. But no—onward the minions march, tirelessly thwarting the most important work since, well, ever.
Hang in there, Great Bwana. Your legion of repeatedly-deleted PDFs and your ironclad victim-savant status will surely triumph... right after the next inevitable takedown. The forces of darkness tremble before your unyielding refresh button. Or at least they would, if they weren't busy hitting delete again.
Stay vigilant. The end is near... probably right after you hit "publish" one more time.

Dear Brethren and Co-Workers in Christ:
Greetings.
We have continued to have massive issues affecting our ccog.org and other sites. Basically, we have been hit with malware as well as the fact that transferring server locations has affected posts. In addition, the transfer, which we were forced to do, messed up posts and other things at the cogwriter.com website.
One of the many frustrations is that even when we have recreated/replicated lost content, it has gone missing again.
We had to hire another firm to assist with some of this, which is an expense we did not want, but hope will help end some of this.
Satan does not want us to proclaim all the truths that we do and has his minions affect us in many negative ways (Ephesians 6:12).

How does Bob know he is being attacked by Satan rather than being cursed by God?
When these guys experience the natural results of the awful karma they dish out, they expect us to believe that it's an attack straight from Satan himself! Too much illusion, mixed with delusion, and it causes confusion, creating disturbance in the mind.

Well, Bob Thiel has admitted that lots of confusion exists within his group, because he wrote the following:
"...We have continued to have massive issues affecting our ccog.org and other sites.

And that sounds like lots of confusion, and who authors that? Certainly, not God!
"For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints." 1 Cor 14:33
Well, could it be that God was/is working elsewhere? His truth is already in the Bible. Why would there be any need for some "continuing" manmade organization of man/men?
Who else could be the cause? So, perhaps Bob T is correct in blaming Satan.
On the other hand, God's truth also tells us this:
2 Cor 11:13 "For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works."
Could it be that Bob T, unknown to himSELF, is just one of many among those transformed individuals, "deceitful workers?" After all, there is another Jesus(s), another gospel(s) and another spirit(s) in existence, are there not?
Might Bob T, perhaps like so many others taken up with confusion within their organizations, associations, groups, etc., be among those that James had in mind when he wrote the following about some people, with another spirit dwelling within, and associated with God's true Church?
"Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?" James 4:5
Time will tell...

I've wondered something similar myself, John. Unfortunately, I believe the scriptures you quoted present an imperfect metaphor, because I do not see the teachings of Herbert W. Armstrong as equating with the teachings of Jesus Christ. Herbert himself was a false teacher, a broken clock who was only right during the brief minute which happens twice per day as time coincidentally lines up with the time permanently displayed on the broken clock. If there were such a phenomenon as time travel, and if HWA had been able to transport back to the apostolic era of the first century, and had actually met Paul in person, he would have been seen and understood to be part of the circumcision party which vexed Paul.

I agree: "...the teachings of Herbert W. Armstrong..." do not equate "...with the teachings of Jesus Christ..." unless/until they, like spiritual milk/meat" agreed with those of Jesus Christ. Virtually all of the HWA prophecies were like spiritual junk food.
Personally, I've learned some things from HWA regarding God's Sabbath, God's Festivals, God's Holydays, clean/unclean meats, etc., which would equate with some of the teachings of Jesus Christ, but was HWA perfect like Jesus? No. Neither are we: no other human being since Adam has been perfect. Has it affected my, your, anybody's salvation? I believe, "No, but time will tell."
Here is some history of Satan "sitting" within God's Church among some of its members.
Revelation 2:9 "I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan.
:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast [some] of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life."
:13 "I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, [even] where Satan s seat [is]: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas [was] my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth."
:24 "But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden."
Rev 3:9 "Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee."
Where is God's Church today? What did Jesus predict about the hirelings and His sheep?
John 10:12 "But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
:13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep."
Might the hirelings and sheep of God's Church, today, "thanks to that wolf," all be scattered worldwide?
Time will tell...

Well, we cannot time travel back in time, but we may consider the future, when both HWA and Paul shall live again. I believe they will be in agreement with each other, but time will tell.
Isn't the gospel about a time when all nations/families shall be blessed (Gal 3:8; Gen 12:3)?
What about future circumcisions in such a time of this blessing upon all nations/families?
"Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that [is] among the children of Israel." Ezekiel 44:9
This dual circumcision is not for today, nor was it for the past, and it isn't for the future 1,000 years, but for a future time beyond when Satan is loosed from the bottomless pit, and is allowed to again deceive the entire world, and is subsequently killed at the time of the end of the 7 Vials: 7 Last Plagues when an angel declares, "It is done!"
But, the word "shall" is future tense. Even the Levites will live again, obviously, after they are resurrected by Jesus' God: Jesus' Father.
Where are those ancient physical Levites today? They'll be back.
:15 "But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:
:16 They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge."
Those Levites, resurrected, will be part of all nations/families, which shall be blessed.
Will Paul and HWA both agree with what God inspired Ezekiel to tell us?
I believe so; however, time will tell...
John
Same way he knew the Palisades Fires were a curse, but the rainstorm/hurricane removal of his office roof, was not.
