Its All about Me

Oh, where do we even begin with these paragons of humility and divine appointment? Never have the people of God been blessed with such a glorious saga of self-proclaimed saviors in the endless parade of Church of God splinters.

When Bob Thiel burst onto the scene in 2012, the entire Church of God world collectively gasped in awe at the arrival of the most self-absorbed narcissist ever to launch a splinter group. It was all about him—his magnificent website, his breathtaking articles, his unparalleled theological brilliance. The world had never before witnessed such a beacon of doctrinal purity. No historian in the vast arc of human history had ever been more accurate. No prophet of God had ever been purer or more prophetically spot-on. Clearly, the entire sweep of Christianity needed to drop to its knees and bow at his feet in humble adoration. And with each passing year, he somehow manages to outdo himself in sheer, unadulterated grandeur. Impressive escalation, really.

Then along came Samuel Kitchen, strutting in with his shiny new-and-improved "Worldwide Church of God"—a thrilling congregation consisting of himself and a handful of unemployed loyalists (give or take a brother). He and his sibling fancied themselves the noble saviors of the church, heroically preserving the writings, publications, and videos of Herbert W. Armstrong and his crew. How touching. Of course, they didn't just "preserve"—they outright swiped the booklets, articles, videos, and other property once owned by the original WCG/CGI outfits. Then, in a masterstroke of branding genius, they stole the name "Worldwide Church of God" too. Timothy soon tired of the family circus and bolted for the greener (or at least less delusional) pastures of the United Church of God, leaving Samuel to solo-run his mind-boggling ministry. A ministry, mind you, that is first, foremost, and exclusively about himself—with God dutifully tagging along as his personal hype man.

His latest letter triumphantly lists all his jaw-dropping accomplishments—most of which sound suspiciously like the itinerary of an average tourist with a religious-themed travel blog. 

In 2022, he and three or four other brave souls trekked off to Jerusalem for the Feast. Apparently, he thought he was going to dazzle the streets with Herbert's theological landmines and single-handedly revive the Work. Alas, some unscrupulous Muslims had the audacity to take his money and refuse him the accommodations he demanded. A couple of his ragtag followers slunk back to the U.S. in defeat, while he and one other woman decamped to Jordan. There, the Jordanians—clearly recognizing divine royalty—rolled out the red carpet for God's most astonishing prophet as he scoped out Petra, the future rallying point for his mighty army of misfits. Epic.

By 2023, undeterred, he boldly claimed the corporate name "Worldwide Church of God," positioning himself as its official representative in this latter-day dispensation. Because nothing says "legitimate successor" like expecting everyone who remembers the glory days to instantly recognize him as the fresh, updated face of the church. Genius marketing.

In 2024, brother Timothy finally had enough of the escalating nuttiness, jumped the sinking ship (again), and joined the United Church of God. This left God's most cherished repository of Herbertism floundering—until Samuel heroically stepped in to rescue it and restore it to what is surely God's all-time favorite website. Meanwhile, poor Bob Thiel was reportedly spotted whimpering in the corner of his little brown world headquarters in Grover Beach, devastated by the shocking turn of events. The humanity!

Fast-forward to 2025: He returned to Jerusalem and—hold onto your hats—stood in a street! The world shook. Jerusalem quaked. The Temple Mount rocked on its ancient foundations. The planet was forever changed. Tourists really do have that kind of impact, apparently. Then he kept Passover and Unleavened Bread right there in the holy city. Whoop-de-doo. Truly earth-shattering.

A couple of months ago, his holy feet graced the once-sacred grounds of the old Ambassador College campus in Pasadena. The earth trembled yet again as those sanctified soles trod the hallowed Bouquet Canyon paving stones. His gaze finally settled upon the sacred House of God—the Ambassador Auditorium—where the Almighty once dwelled in peace and harmony for nearly 25 glorious years... until the Great Apostasy hit and He was served an eviction notice, and it was handed over to a bunch of Pentecostal pogo-jumping, slain-in-the-spirit types. The very kind Herbert Armstrong despised with every fiber of his being!

And then—miracle of miracles—God dispatched Michael the Archangel himself to whisper sweet nothings into Samuel's ear: "Thou must raise 45 million dollars and buy the Auditorium!" Shockingly, the archangel forgot to mention the part about also snapping up Herbert's old mansion (also conveniently for sale). Imagine: Samuel could live on campus, stroll down each day, and tickle the ivories on the auditorium stage piano just like Herbert used to. Isn't the Work of God just amazing? Truly, the mind boggles at the divine priorities.

These men aren't just leading churches—they're rewriting the very definition of humility, one grandiose self-proclamation at a time. Stay tuned for the next chapter in this never-ending ego odyssey.

In 2022, I announced the existence of the Worldwide Church of God meeting in Jerusalem to keep the Feasts of the Lord. We ended up keeping them in Petra, Jordan.

In 2023, in Philadelphia PA, I launched a new website for the Church. (worldwidechurchofgod.org)

In 2024, I saved the WWCG-archives website domain from being lost. I then added it to the main website. This domain is what was used in All video and All articles on social media before. The loss of this would have completely destroyed what God had been doing through me.

In 2025, Members of the Worldwide Church of God stood up in Jerusalem.

I kept the Passover, and Days of Unleavened Bread in Jerusalem.

We kept the Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement and Feast of Tabernacles and last great day, there in Jerusalem.

In 2026, I went to Pasadena in January, to commemorate the closure of 40 years in the wilderness since the death of Herbert W Armstrong. And to honor Christ’s apostle. I announced the people of God should leave the modern day groups of “Korah, Dathan and Abiram”.

In February, I announced the desire and plans to purchase the Ambassador Auditorium, announcing God’s will to bring His Tithes and His Offerings to do God’s Work and to give God’s name Glory.

No one else is doing this.

What people don’t understand, is that Jesus Christ for many many years has been stirring up His Church members, to exit these other groups.

Not one of these groups is headed by Jesus Christ. God is NOT building their houses.

The Worldwide Church of God is HIS HOUSE.

If you study Joshua, after the forty years in the wilderness, and death of Moses, the next step was to magnify the one God is using next.

In this case, I am the only one fighting for, and working a work for the Philadelphia candlestick! Everyone else is busy creating “their groups”, and trying to siphon away the membership of the Worldwide Church of God.

I am not starting a “new group”. This is the Worldwide Church of God which Jesus Christ raised up!

Now with the work announced. I also have warned of the curses of God coming on those who do not want to obey Him! The countdown is ticking.

If you study, Malachi, Haggai, Zechariah, and Isaiah(plus more of course), but these all talk about a period of plagues, drought, famine, and curses from God for disobedience! It also goes back to Leviticus 26!

So now God will be magnifying whom He is working through. It won’t be a human work. It will be a spiritual and divine work.

The Work of God!

Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit says God!

Right after the forty years in the wilderness, God made it clear who He was working through. The Word of God is unbreakable! Gods will fulfill everything in it!

Study Joshua. For that is what we are seeing spiritually being fulfilled today.

Those outside of the Church, in these groups, are called upon to repent and believe God! To come out of them!

These groups are church structures of Satan the Devil. They teach you how to be a Babylonian “church of God”. Oh how they do lie.(Rev. 3:9)

The way was prepared through Mr Herbert W Armstrong. The Spiritual Temple is the Worldwide Church of God! That is the future wife of Jesus Christ, who is called the Bride.

The Wife shall rule with Christ on earth forever! After a thousand years, Jesus Christ will present to the Father, the Wife!!!

We have faced much indoctrination from thae groups. To teach us contrary to what we receved from Christ in the Worldwide Church of God.

The true Church continues on.

The Work of God continues.

Only those who fear God will obey Him.
