I think it was made back around 2000 or 2001. While talking about Matthew 26 he said this:<br /><br />>>If you do not have the Holy Spirit, you will do very peculiar things. God tells us that at the end of the age, people are going to turn on one another in a way that we would never imagine. They really are. Without God's spirit, men are very helpless.<<<br /><br />We can now see that this is one way LCG's 1% indoctrinate LCG members to disregard and refuse to act upon legitimate criticism.<br /><br /> Redfox712https://www.blogger.com/profile/17734930967002040931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-42234165309642190002016-01-13T20:41:34.158-08:002016-01-13T20:41:34.158-08:00The version I heard of the Lucy story (from a mini...The version I heard of the Lucy story (from a minister's wife) was that Lucy fired up a smoke, was informed of the no smoking rule, gave the usher, or whomever, a dirty look, and then dropped the lighted cigarette on to the prized carpeting, and crushed it out with her high heel.<br /><br />As much as some of us may admire someone who had the moxie to blow off bogus Armstrongian authority, crushing a lit cigarette on expensive carpet is a pretty cretinous thing to do, no matter who owns the carpet. No comedy to that at all.<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-60465131013319616552016-01-13T15:29:07.444-08:002016-01-13T15:29:07.444-08:002016 promises to be a rough year for LCG unity and...2016 promises to be a rough year for LCG unity and finances.

You can never, ever fully grow up whilst treated as a 'child idiot.' A Christian is one who follow Christ, rather than someone who goes to church once a week.

There is an event presently occurring in LCG that has not come to light yet publicly. I don't see the benefit of revealing that information at this time on this site. I will leave that to the people involved. Time will tell. However, I will say that LCG is going to be held accountable for things they have done that weren't exactly 'on the level'. Unfortunately, my LCG brethren will suffer because of the stiff-necked, stubborn men in Charlotte who have made some really bad decisions. When I read this LCN, I was sad to see that LCG was going to blame what's happening on 'an attack by Satan'. Could it be that it is as a result of the consequences of their own actions instead of Satan? The disconnect is shocking and depressing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-34320450235084718802016-01-13T06:04:04.320-08:002016-01-13T06:04:04.320-08:00Rod Meredith IS competitive and accusatory.

LCG is now getting ready to shake the world. How? They have a small group of elderly people living in the past talking about world events speeding up. Small groups of people meet every week in rented halls with their minister preaching to them about how to conform to the government as dictated by headquarters. Then they go home close their doors til the next week when they will meet again and hear the same thing. For over 20 years now Rod has been preaching powerful sermon. I doubt that he even knows his neighbors. I doubt he has been inside the home of one single neighbor. Unless maybe one of his top ministers lives near him like his brother-in-law R Ames. Poor Rod if he didn't have the good old days what would he have to preach or write to the brethren about Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374912687883395553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-77751260024104289882016-01-12T23:38:24.597-08:002016-01-12T23:38:24.597-08:00Accusations of bucking, false accusation plus Sata...Accusations of bucking, false accusation plus Satan is about to strongly persecute the church (hence ignore church mistreatment), amounts to a demand for a moral blank check from church members. So, church members are not to pass moral judgement on a abusive ministry, since passing moral judgment is the greatest sin. Of course a vindictive, punitive ministry does the exact opposite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-89808050757235075392016-01-12T22:57:56.374-08:002016-01-12T22:57:56.374-08:00Uh, this may be a good area for him to practice le...Uh, this may be a good area for him to practice leadership by example?<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-37844221924670372642016-01-12T22:12:11.529-08:002016-01-12T22:12:11.529-08:00And that he seems to confuse prosecution with pers...And that he seems to confuse prosecution with persecution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
