Rejoice, ye remnant seekers of the one true path! For in these latter days, the faithful no longer require the living God Himself. Why bother with prayer, personal revelation, or that pesky Holy Spirit when a convenient "reservoir of truth" exists online?
Behold the glorious innovation: the Herbert W. Armstrong Library (hwalibrary.com and related archives), a humble, independent, non-affiliated digital warehouse stuffed with free downloads of old Plain Truth magazines, World Tomorrow broadcasts, booklets, sermons, and co-worker letters from the Radio/Worldwide Church of God era under Herbert W. Armstrong (1892–1986). Add a dash of modern A.I., and voilà—mankind can now "work out things" all by themselves! No need for God at all. That is precisely what "they" think, according to the profound insight of Samuel Kitchen.
For context that somehow makes this even more delightfully ridiculous: Herbert W. Armstrong founded the Radio Church of God, which became the Worldwide Church of God, teaching a distinctive blend of Sabbatarianism, British-Israelism, rejection of the Trinity, observance of Old Testament holy days, and the idea that God is a family into which humans can also become God. After Armstrong's death in 1986, the organization under Joseph Tkach dramatically shifted toward mainstream evangelicalism, prompting dozens of splinter groups to claim they alone preserved the "original" truth. Enter the Kitchen family of Iowa—third-generation adherents who insist they are the continuing Worldwide Church of God, complete with websites, AI-assisted hymns, tithe-collection announcements, and expansion dreams into places like the Philippines. Samuel Kitchen positions himself as the vessel of Jesus Christ in these end times, holding fast while everyone else falls away. Never mind the fact that Samuels aspostate father turned his back on the mother church and defected to other eCOG groups before claiming he was the arbitrator of all truth.
And yet, according to Samuel, the HWA Library hates the Kitchen family! It has opposed Jesus Christ in Samuel for so many long, persecuted years!!!! How dare an archive of scanned PDFs and audio files from the very era Kitchen claims to champion provide open access so that ordinary men might "CHOOSE and SEARCH FOR THEMSELVES"? This is pure Antichrist behavior. They rob God (by not funneling everything through the correct Iowa PO box, one assumes). They oppose God. They commit the unpardonable sin of letting people read the old materials without first swearing fealty to the Kitchen household's unique interpretation that they alone embody the restored Philadelphia-era work.
Never mind that the library explicitly states it is not affiliated with any church organization, posts no post-1986 material from ministers who left after the changes, and simply aims to preserve historical documents so interested parties can examine them. Never mind the dozens of other Armstrongist remnants doing their own versions of the same thing. The real crime is clear: by making the "reservoir of truth" freely available and searchable (even with AI assistance these days), these digital librarians encourage independent study. And independent study, as every self-appointed end-time apostle knows, is the fast track to becoming the Man of Sin.
So next time you download a 1950s Good News article or ask a chatbot about Armstrong's views on the Feast of Tabernacles, pause and reflect. You are not merely researching history. You are participating in a decades-long plot against Jesus Christ as manifested in one peculiar apostate Iowa family. Truly, the absurdity knows no bounds—and neither, apparently, does the persecution complex. Choose carefully, search diligently... or better yet, just send those tithes to the right address before the archives fully usurp the throne of God.

Samuel William Kitchen writes:We are still in Philadelphia era. You, nor any man can dictate to God the order of things! God created TIME! And Jesus Christ gave the prophecy in Revelation 3:10, and further in Revelation 12:13-17.This is the challenge!Is Jesus Christ a liar? Is this Word of God right here just horse dung? Or is it trustworthy, unbroken and SURE TO HAPPEN? You bet your eternal life it is!Now Jesus Christ is NOT A LIAR. And the Church of God is going to be protected for 3 1/2 years in a place of safety! I believe GOD!This requires, absolutely requires the Worldwide Church of God to be present and living and continuing!!!!!!!!!!!
The Word of God is saying it!!! You better believe it!!! It’s not men saying it!!!The Word of God is saying it!!! You better believe it!!! It’s not men saying it!!!When a man leaves the church, he leaves the spiritual body of Jesus Christ. It does not matter how much “good” he/she has learned from the Worldwide Church of God! Once they leave the Church, they are relying on themselves as the source of knowledge!!!! They are taking from the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil. Spiritually cut off from the tree of life!As empty houses, they grab hold of demons, or demons grab hold of them and begin to take up rent in their minds! More and more they deform, twist and pervert the Word of God, until they reject it completely like the Demon spirit now taking up their mind. They have no flow of the golden oil from God anymore! It’s only when they repent and turn to God and believe HIM, is when that flow is repaired and returned unto them!But now they have a reservoir of truth taught by HWA and The Worldwide Church of God in a website and A.I to help them work out things, and they don’t need GOD! That is what they think! That’s why HWA Library hates the Kitchen family and has opposed Jesus Christ in me for so many years!!!! They are Antichrist, and they rob God, and they oppose God, to try to make men CHOOSE and SEARCH FOR THEMSELVES.THE worldwide Church of God, is a spiritual organism!!!! And when the ministers left they left Jesus Christ!!! And they have done nothing but what their own human abilities could do, with the “good” they chose to keep from the Worldwide Church of God. God’s law is no respecter of persons. Neither is God! An evil person doing good, will reap blessing. But God will have to deal with their sin! And that can’t be hidden and whitewashed!If someone is working their own gig, and doing something right, like casting out demons in Jesus’ name, Christ says leave them alone….they answer to HIM, and they won’t be in the Kingdom of God!Because it doesn’t take works to get into the Kingdom!An evil man cannot try to unlock heaven with a few good deeds! He must be wholly what Christ expects of Him to be! And that requires full surrender to Jesus Christ and full repentance of all sin!!!!!Now, you are saying it is the Laodicean era, and using the old roster of ministers of the Worldwide Church of God, and asking why their absence! They either fell away or was sealed with the Holy Spirit!Those in the world, who have touched the Worldwide Church of God and the gospel message preached by this Church, are lukewarm for not fully committing to Jesus Christ! They don’t want to fully become a member of the Worldwide Church of God, but they want to in the world as much as they can! So they develop a church of their own, acknowledging God so far, but not surrendering.The Worldwide Church of God is still alive! The Word of God declares it! And I believe it!Herbert W Armstrong taught it too, and why you won’t repeat what he said about the Laodicean era just shows you do not believe wholly!!!!!You haven’t surrendered everything yet!!! Now when will be the best for you Thomas? When will your schedule be open to finally consider your ways, and your thoughts, and your speech, to see if GOD REALLY SAID IT!!!!!!!!!!?!?It comes from your heart, and your heart has been influenced by lies and the demons of this world are all around you laughing because YOU BELIEVE THEM over God!You better wake up.Jesus Christ built ONE CHURCH. No other!And I don’t care if you left the church to be a do-gooder, to choose for yourself!!!! You left! You are no longer INSIDE the Tru Body of Jesus Christ! Not one of these groups are!You cannot surrender to God YOUR WAY!!!! You cannot create something new and demand God to funnel it through THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS AND MAKE YOUR IDOLS SPEAK WHEN THEY DO NOT!OH This or that group is formed by men once associated with the Worldwide Church of God, and by the hands of men was it formed!!!! Not by God! not by Jesus Christ!And that’s the point…The Worldwide Church of God was created and raised up by JESUS CHRIST!!!! Not by men!And if you cannot believe that simple foundational truth, stop any association you have with the Worldwide Church of God and Herbert W Armstrong! Because we believe Jesus Christ is fully in control, here!

Inquiring minds will always look at the failed prophecies and timeline of HWA, and the bad fruits exhibited by the WCG, and say, "But what if it wasn't raised up by Jesus Christ?"
Who told you it was raised up by Jesus Christ? A man!
It is ludicrous to think that God has anything to do with it if it all boils down to on man (Sam), who has misappropriated the second name HWA chose for his church.
Sam should be very angry with God. Because, you see, God is not telling people to come back to the name. Or Sam. Any more than He's telling people to go to Bob Thiel. So, once again, someone is telling us that God appointed him leader, but isn't telling everyone else. Consequently, Sam has to berate and intimidate them and hope they see the love and fall in lockstep behind him. Sorry Sam. God doesn't like tunas with good taste! God only likes tunas that taste good! 🐋🐠🐟🐬
Paul’s teaching in Romans 9–11
Paul’s teaching in Romans 9–11 prevents the claim that “Israel equals the Church.” Throughout these chapters Paul keeps Israel and the Church distinct: Israel remains the historic covenant people descended from the patriarchs, while Gentiles are “wild branches” grafted into Israel’s tree.
The Church is the combined community of believing Jews and Gentiles, not a replacement for Israel.
Israel continues to exist as Israel , a people beloved “for the sake of the fathers.” In other words, there seems no biblical proof that Israel should be reinterpreted as “the Church,.
Certainly not as small self righteous sects in the United States.
Acts 15 reinforces this distinction as the apostles explicitly refuse to impose Israel’s covenantal obligations on Gentile believers, proving that Israel and the Church are not interchangeable categories. Together, Romans 9–11 and Acts 15 dont support rhe insistence of those who want to make Armstrong's church the Israel of the Bible.
Paul keeps Israel and the Church distinct: Israel remains the historic covenant people descended from the patriarchs.
Sam is just another Laodicean. He needs to get back to the faith once delivered, and accept that the Radio Church of God had the Truth.
Mind-boggling. People have posted here to the effect that God had called them into His Church, which of course they believe to be the church which was led by Herbert W. Armstrong. As they see it, this is how large numbers of people came to be part of the Worldwide Church of God.
They were called. Such posters also have a second class of church members, the ones who saw the light and left it, who are explained away as never having been called! Therefore, they were never permitted to really understand, and were never converted.
It has always been taught that it is God who convicted the hearts of the truly converted. As the teaching goes, that is how people were "called" into God's church!
Did people like Sam Kitchen and Bob Thiel forget this principle? If God calls people, they're going to come, right? But, they aren't, Bob and Sam! You guys are trying to frighten current ACOG members into your church using HWA's version of prophecy, people who already believe they are safe.
Oh well. It really doesn't matter anyway. The truth is HWA got his initial numbers by poaching COG-7 members, calling their church the dead Sardis era and such. And then when he hit the radio waves, he scared new members in with the Bomb and his prophecy mold. Nothing new under the sun. But, still, you guys are not successful!
