Flurry presents something that's partly true, but the message that he is above the reproach he is putting out -- that all he is saying doesn't apply to him -- is clear, though not to those who think Flurry is somebody important.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-79873561652638913172014-04-08T22:41:02.620-07:002014-04-08T22:41:02.620-07:00When you're a profit of the one troo god, it&#...When you're a profit of the one troo god, it's important to constantly remind people how they're supposed to see themselves.<br /><br />So, here's Flurry, taking another opportunity to step up to the demigod's soapbox and remind all of his followers they're nothing but worms.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-89193611636858824222014-04-08T18:37:28.694-07:002014-04-08T18:37:28.694-07:00Flurry knows that this kind of talk is what draws ... Flurry knows that this kind of talk is what draws people into his PCG. Don't be deceived though. I fell for this in his writings and was I in for a shocker from the first day I attended. <br /> None of the higher ups in the Philadelphia Church of God that I met, except for Carl and Maggie Hilliker,(and look what happened to him >demoted from minister and banished to landscaping at PCG headquarters) were humble and trying to follow Christ's example of kindness and humility. To the contrary, it really is all about money and giving to THE GREAT GODS at headquarters<br />>Edmond,OK...believe it or be scammed!<br /><br />...by the way, my family came into the Worldwide Church of God in 1988, right after Herbert W. Armstrong died in 1986. We were drawn into that group because of the same spiritual talk Flurry puts out there. We were gone by 1995, after the Tkach regime took over and no one could figure out... "What the hell happened??"<br /> Then as you see, I was suckered back into the PCG, took the bait, hook, line, and sinker (as they say).<br /> PSS...BRIAN DAVIS IS THE DEVIL!<br /> <br />old EXPCG haghttps://plus.google.com/u/0/113084575537501184298/posts/p/pubnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-61030161892880071382014-04-08T18:17:35.021-07:002014-04-08T18:17:35.021-07:00Flurry is a corporate church.

He has nothing to offer the world.<br /><br />If he had a store front church and did the deeds of Christ in the local community I would not have a word to say of the negative variety. <br /><br />However, his little group of cultist have not done the works of Christ, but that of their spiritual father, HWA the devil.<br /><br />One does not need to believe in a sky god to decipher good works. One needs to only hear from those who attend this abomination of a church to judge whether it is from a god or from a man who has an agenda.<br /><br />The very name of HWA is the indication that something is rotten in Oklahoma.

There is mixed message or a credibility gap because of who is saying it, as well as the Phariseeism we all know is inherent in Armstrongish legalism.<br /><br />It is difficult to think of Armstrongism as making people charismatic because we know it to be such an ugly, depressing, and even anti-Christian philosophy. Still, looking for a parallel, I've met individual Jehovah's Witnesses and Muslims who are not totally consumed by the basic group mindset, and are pleasant to be around, more by accident than because of their beliefs. If their charisma happened to draw people to those religions, it would be due to people making a false connection. Flurry appears to be not so big on truth in advertising!<br /><br />Flurry also seems to believe that a poor self image is somehow spiritual. He has ignored a New Covenant paradigm in Mark 12:31, "Love your neighbor as yourself." What this means is that in order to be able to even understand how to love your neighbor, you have to be capable of loving yourself. It implies a realistic or healthy self-image, based on knowing yourself. And, who is your neighbor? Everybody!<br /><br />I predict that his latest missive will spawn more, not less self-righteousness.<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.com
