Gerald Weston - "My friends, they cannot all be right"

 

From an LCG source:

Gerald Weston writes:

“Many think they know—but, once again, we must ask: Have they proved it? Most people accept the religious beliefs of parents and peers. While many individuals at least temporarily stray from religion after leaving home, normally Protestants remain Protestant, Catholics remain Catholic, and Muslims remain in the Islamic faith. But are all religions equal? Do “all roads lead to heaven,” as some believe? Try to get to Detroit that way! No, there are contradictory doctrines even within dominant religious categories. Consider how many Protestant denominations there are. Some believe baptism by immersion is necessary, others that you are only saved if you speak in “tongues of angels.” My friends, they cannot all be right!” (my emphasis)

 

There is no parody like self-parody.

 

There are over 500 splits of the old WCG. That line may have worked in the 70s, but now the statement should read: Consider how many WCG denominations there are.

 

Jerry should start living in the 2020s – the 1970s are history.

The Power of Poor Little Piggie

Poor little Piggie gets no respect! 

Poor little Piggie gets blamed for all kinds of things in the eyes of true believers.

Piggie is supposed to be in gelatin. 

Piggie has been accused of being in lipstick.

Poor little Piggie has been used to save lives in operations except in the eyes of true believers who would refuse his help. 

Piggie gets blamed for contaminating food that has been cooked on grills while true believers are dining at the Feast. 

Poor little Piggie gets blamed for being used in shoes and belts. 

Now poor little Piggie gets blamed for being used in cereal.  What's a poor Piggie to do?

If I remember correctly, the sugar on frosted cereal is held onto the cereal by a coating of pig material. Is this correct?  We use only unbleached natural sugar in our food!!

Poor little Piggie seems to occupy the minds of true believers more than Jesus does. 

Poor little Piggie obviously has the power to  prevent them from helping the poor and disenfranchised. 

Poor little Piggie stops them from clothing the homeless and taking care of the sick. 

Poor little Piggie seems to be far more important than Jesus because Piggie seems to occupy their minds more. 

They talk about Piggie all the time but ignore Piggies Master. 

Poor little Piggie seems to be mighty powerful!

Only The Best For The Leaders

I had to laugh when I read the following news story this morning that someone sent me.  It immediately reminded me of the hypocrisy of Armstrongite church leaders that claim to be "Just stewards" of the tithes of Church members as they live lives of luxury. 

Mr./Evangelist XYZ is God's TRUE Apostle/leader/Pastor General who needs to interact with world leaders at their own level.  Therefore we MUST have the best. Best Westerns and Marriott's are NOT for us!  We must have our luxury suites, drive the best cars, wear the best tailored suits, etc.

While the people suffer, the leaders revel.

As we can see from the following article, hypocrisy knows no boundaries:

Occupy Wall Street Leader Reportedly Pitches Golden Tent at 5-Star Hotel

Hell no, we won’t go — unless we get goose down pillows.

A key Occupy Wall Street leader and another protester who leads a double life as a businessman ditched fetid tents and church basements for rooms at a luxurious hotel that promises guests can “unleash [their] inner Gordon Gekko,” The Post has learned.

The $700-per-night W Hotel Downtown last week hosted both Peter Dutro, one of a select few OWS members on the powerful finance committee, and Brad Spitzer, a California-based analyst who not only secretly took part in protests during a week-long business trip but offered shelter to protesters in his swanky platinum-card room.

“Tents are not for me,” he confessed, when confronted in the sleek black lobby of the Washington Street hotel where sources described him as a “repeat” guest.

Spitzer, 24, an associate at financial-services giant Deloitte, which netted $29 billion in revenue last year, admitted he joined the protest at Zuccotti Park several times.
