Worldwide Church of God Iowa Renting Its First Office Space

 

Aaron Dean must be positively giddy—positively doing cartwheels of ecstasy—as he contemplates the glorious day he finally gets to unpack his boxes in a shiny new official office. Yes, that’s right: once he finalizes a dramatic apostasy from the tired old United Church of God so he could sprint, breathless and starry-eyed, into the warm, loving arms of the One True Remnant™—the only group on planet Earth still heroically carrying out the real Elijah work. (Because apparently God only hands out one set of prophetic car keys per generation.)

Sorry, Infallible Bob—better luck next lifetime. You’re still clutching that eternal bouquet of participation trophies, forever the tragic bridesmaid in the cosmic wedding no one invited you to officiate. Always almost chosen… never quite chosen. Heartbreaking, really. Someone pass Bob a tissue and a fresh bottle of anointing oil—he’s going to need both.

Meanwhile, the interior design team has already been dispatched with all the urgency of a five-alarm holy fire. They’re furiously sketching mood boards and color swatches so they can rush-order a breathtaking, larger-than-life portrait of Herbert W. Armstrong—probably in full technicolor majesty, complete with that signature benevolent-yet-authoritarian gaze. And naturally, no proper shrine would be complete without a custom-built kneeling bench positioned at the ideal groveling angle. Because nothing says “restored truth” quite like mandatory devotional knee-time in front of a 10-foot oil painting of a man who’s been dead for 40 years.

Truly, the end-time work has never looked so… tastefully appointed. Let the incense and the interior decorating commence!

So I am looking at an office space to use for the “SUPPORT SERVICES OF THE WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD”

(Visit supportwcg.org)

I found one in a town not far from me, for $450 a month with a $450 security deposit. It’s small, but it can be used for an office, and address for the Work.

I do need an office, and a space to use for the Work. It needs to be separated from my apartment. It could also serve as a small meeting hall for brethren nearby.

What do you brethren think?

I have my own source of funding, with my cleaning business, but I also know that God’s people should be involved and I have received many requests to be involved.

I also do have the entity “SUPPORT SERVICES OF THE WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD” already created and being used, to raise funds for the Work.

If God wants us to have an office we will. I believe I need it. I just want to ask you brethren about the idea, and get a consensus of wisdom.
