In Vetro Fertilization is an ABOMINATION! - It is illicit sex without face to face intercourse!!!!!!!

At least according to Apostle Malm. 

He is none too happy with Merritt's book called  "When Does Human Life Begin?"

The main issue being promoted by the Merritt book is that life does not begin until implantation and that if there is no implantation of a fertilized egg there is no life.  This is the premise that all the fancy Latin and involved explanations are designed to support.

The point of this position [no life before implantation] is to justify certain birth control devices; and to justify in vitro fertilization and the destruction of  “extra” fertilized eggs.  This argument is used to justify the abomination of harvesting eggs and fertilizing them, then choosing one or two and destroying the rest.

To begin with and completely outside the issue of the beginning of life, is the simple fact that this is adultery and illicit sex; without the natural act of intercourse, but illicit sex just the same!

For a woman to allow the removal of some of her eggs and then to have an anonymous “donor” contribute his sperm is a shocking abomination!  It is illicit sex without face to face intercourse between the two.

Then, The Apostle get's into some more rules and regulations for unclean women:

The argument is made in the book that many fertilized cells are simply not implanted and are flushed out of the body.  This is seen to bolster the argument that life does not begin until implantation.  First, this issue is greatly exaggerated by the medical community because it is self serving to do so.  Second, this argument actually ignores a specific command of God which completely reverses this argument.

God commands in Lev 15 that sexual activity must be avoided from the first onset of menstruation for a full seven days.  This command is given because of the obvious issue of cleanliness and uncleanness, but it also prevents the fertilizing of the egg as it passes through the uterus! 

Only TRUE CONVERTED MEN who will avoid menstruating women will be made RIGHTEOUS before God!

Avoiding a menstrual woman is one of the commands that makes a man righteous before God; and will bring the gift of life to him!  Please study this list, as it reveals very much about true conversion and the way to life eternal

The next thing you know The Apostle will be requiring the women in his cult to wear red bracelets to let everyone know they are having their period !  

Outrageous! Women must wear red bracelets when it's their time of the month at company in Norway   

How long will it take before The Apostle starts advocating menstruation huts?

"Guardians of the Calendar Committee" Job Opening In Petra

Apostle Malm  may have a job opening for you worthy saints. Those lucky enough to be counted worthy to travel to Petra with the Apostle can start applying for a new job opening.

Because there is such a controversy on who gets to see the "new moon" and as to what time it actually appears - if it even does, the Apostle will be setting up a moon gazing committee.  Imagine the amazement you will feel standing in the middle or Petra gazing at the dark sky and you see that first glimmer of the new moon!

Of course, while you are parked INSIDE the great expanse of Petra, the Apostle will be outside in the Marriott in a cozy bed with an ample supply of liquor in the refrigerator.

Drop the Apostle a line and let him you know you want to be on his committee: Email Address

I would expect that God’s two prophets may be trusted to deal with the matter in the rest of the world while those in the wilderness would be united in location and some kind of system of observation would be set up there. I thinkl that a kind of Guardians of the Caendar Committee should be set up of people with some understanding of astronomy and the Calendar issues and a reglular method of observing each month should be doen. I am sure that something will be worked out. The main heavenly disturbances are not so much of the sun and moon but of a comet and or meteor falling to the earth and that only late into the 42 months. The moon turning red has to do with atmospheric smoke and dust due to the cataclysms on the earth rather than anything in the heavens. James

The Prophet Who Is Ticked He Is Being Ignored!!!!!

No, I am not talking about Prophet Thiel, Armstrongism's greatest prophetic visionary. I am not even talking about a drunken prophet in Oklahoma or Weinerdude Weinland.  I am referring to God's most important messenger to the remnant COG in this quickening end times.  I am referring to Apostle Malm.

He whines:

I have worked night and day for over four years to warn of the impending events that will set the stage for the advent of the abomination and the tribulation. At the same time I have warned of the apostasy and trends in the COGs and presented much doctrine and much new truth solidly based on the scriptures. I have been most zealous for the Sabbath and ALL the commandments of my Father and your Father. Yet during that time I have been called everything from a false prophet to a liar and a  fool.

Brethren I live in poverty and have not done this for reward, but out of love for my God and my brethren.
It is long past time to wake up and prepare ourselves;  for the Bridegroom cometh!  Yes, the correction of the lax and lukewarm is at our very door.  Very soon now you will see these things beginning; the Bridegroom is knocking, and saying “open to me, turn to me my people”!

Pining For A New Moon

A small minority of COG members have moved into new noon observance of the last several decades.  To me this is just further delving further into legalistic rules and regulations that ultimately have no meaning whatsoever to a Christian's walk. Plus, the 'new moons' worship is tied directly into pagan worship that was centered around new moons well before the Israelites left Egypt.  Like the spring and fall harvest festivals, the new moons were already a part of the ancient cultures.  Each just 'rebranded' the observances according to their cultural traditions. With all of them, and with Malm, the focus is as usual upon something physical.  Armstrongism has attached great significance to the physical while ignoring or devaluing the mystical and spiritual essences of belief.

Even Armstrongism's biggest apologist site Bible Study.org says Christians are not supposed to be observing New Moons.  Of course Apostle Malm would call these people agents of Satan for saying so.

Apostle Malm went to great lenghts yesterday in determining IF the New Moon was actually seen.  If these witnesses had not been able to see it then Malm was not going to observe it.

I accept that any sighting between the International Date Line and Jerusalem would mean that the moon would be visible at Jerusalem.

I will also say [this was not applicable this month]  that the New Moon can be seen in the morning before sun rise on those occasions where the moon sets before the sun in the evening.  If the New Moon IS seen in the early morning before sun rise,; the New Moon day would begin at sunset the coming evening because we cannot begin a day in its middle.

Please remember that one does not have to be in the faith to observe the moon as this requires no biblical understanding, just good eye sight.

Pakistan:

Seen: Sultan Alam (MCW member) from Karachi reported: Today (Tuesday 30th August 2011), our  observers sighted the moon and central official moon sighting committee of Pakistan also received many positive reports hence it has been announced officially that Wednesday 31st August 2011 is 1st Shawwal (Eid-ul-fitr) 1432 in Pakistan. Nearly whole Pakistan was cloudy or hazy.

• Kuwait:

  Seen: Hussain Khushaish (MCW member) from Kuwait reported: In Kuwait at Kabad desert on Tuesday August 30, 2011 the crescent was seen by 11 people with us which means that it was very difficult to be seen by naked eyes

• Bangladesh:

  Seen: Engr. Azizul Huq (MCW member) from Dhaka reported: The crescent moon was seen in many places of Bangladesh

• Lebanon:

  Seen: Dr. Hadi Jaafar (MCW member) reported: This evening I was able to see the moon of the month of Shawwal here in Tyr, Lebanon. I started scanning the partly cloudy western horizon with my 7*50 pair of binoculars at about 7:15 PM. I was able to see the moon very briefly at about 7:25 local time. I was barely able to see it with the “naked eye” ( I wear eye glasses) for a couple of seconds before it disappeared behind the clouds. The lighted portion was extremely thin, with crescent horns pointing between 1 and 5 o’clock. The moon was located at about 258 degrees magnetic azimuth ( as the compass of the binoculars pointed) and it was low at the horizon.

  
  
  

Tonight You Must Blow Your Shofar! It's New Mooner Time!

Apostle Malm is directing all of his true followers to blow a shofar tonight in honor of the new moon and the start of the sixth month.

The Apostle claims the new moon is as important as Passover:

The New Moon day is not a Holy Day; it IS an Appointed Time, like Passover and Wave Offering.  The New Moon is to be observed with the blowing of trumpets and special sacrifices.

I bet you did not know that you are still required under the New Covenant to do sacrifices!  But just what kind of sacrifices does the Apostle expect you to do?  In typical COG proof-texting fashion and "here a little, there a little", the Apostle says you are to sacrifice by doing bible study.

Since the physical sacrifice was only a physical reminder of the spiritual sacrifice of the Lamb of God, we do a special study of the Scriptures in place of the sacrifices [which cannot be offered because there is no Tabernacle or temple at Jerusalem:

Somehow opening an  onion skin book on a dining room table does not equate to slaughtering oxen, sheep and doves over an altar so that the blood flows off it onto the ground.

Armstrongism has always had to find the easy way out of doing all kinds of things.  Many things in Leviticus are supposedly required, while many things right next to the required things are not required.  Just  one more reason why Armstrongism has no credibility!

FOR SHAME! This is a DISGRACE and a blot on your garments!

Remember those days of spending seven days in Mt Pocono, Lake of the Ozarks, The Dells, or Squaw Valley?

Remember driving down the freeway to your assigned Feast site and being passed up by other cars with FT stickers on them?

Remember seeing the pavement through the floor boards of your twenty year old car as you headed up the freeway?  You knew angels were going to get you to the Feast site safely so you made a game out of counting road kill as you saw it pass underneath.

Remember the pride and excitement you felt as you got closer to the Feast site and started seeing all the signs on the hotels saying, :"Welcome Worldwide Church of God!"

Remember the hurricanes that turned back from Jekyll Island and pounded Cuba and caused myriads of deaths while you basked in the safety of a bouncing, rain soaked tent?

Remember how on the Last Great Day you breathed a sigh of relief.  An end to the mind numbingly boring sermons was in sight!

No more long distance walks from the parking lot to the convention center in the rain.  Oh the rain!  You had never seen so much rain!  Surely it was Satan trying to put a damper on the Feast.
 
No more picnic lunches between three services on holy days.  No more standing in line at snack food stands in the parking lots for a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.

No more listening to other church members in restaurants asking the waitress if there was pork or shellfish in their food.

You would soon be heading home after gorging and drinking yourself into oblivion for seven days. Oh, sorry!  You were not ministers so you could not afford to do that.  You could not stay in Mt Airy Lodge, so you had to rent an efficiency cabin where you had to cook and prepare all your food.  But that's another story.

Back to the Last Great Day.

Before you headed off to the final service you went and paid your hotel/motel bill.  You had the kids look under all the furniture and beds for lost toys and clothing.  You cleaned your unit as best as you could remembering that TRUE Christan's left things better than they found it.  You packed your bags and loaded you kids into the car and headed off to the convention center (or tent.)

Then you sat there listening to a minister tell you to dump all of your access second tithe into the offering baskets since you would not be needing it anymore. You wondered how you would be able to pay for the gas and overnight stay on your way home, so you did not put a lot of money in the basket as waves of guilt swept over you.

You had a lump in your throat as the final hymn was sung, "God Be With You Till We Meet Again."  then it was over.

But not quite yet though.  An announcement had been made for all able bodied men and boys to help stack up and store all 10,000 folding chairs.  A sweeping crew was to sweep the building.  A restroom crew cleaned up the restrooms, and select men helped the ministers load their Lincolns and Buick Rivieras for their trip back home.

But little did you know you were pawns in Satan deceiving the Church by 'working' on The Last Great Day!  How dare you pay your hotel bill, pack your clothes, clean up the convention center all before the sun went down!!! Grievous sinners!  Reprobates!  You are headed straight to the Lake of Fire!  The Apostle has this to say about you:

To the Groups making up the Church of God
The Last Great Day, The Eighth Day of the Feast: Is a High Holy Day, Lev 23:36. It is a Holy Convocation. You shall do no servile work (work of any kind) therein.
For generations now, The Church of God has made it a practice to hold services early, on the Eighth Day; to facilitate the travel plans of their members. People claiming to be converted Godly people: have paid bills, packed belongings, cleaned their temporary dwellings and traveled on this High Holy Day. And their ministers have encouraged this in word and deed.
FOR SHAME: This is a DISGRACE and a blot on your garments. The Eternal will not hold you guiltless for defiling His Holy Time. Repent quickly and turn from this wickedness; lest ye be corrected.

Can't Go To The TRUE Feast This Year? Pitch A Tent!

The Apostle has laid down instructions for you disillusioned COG members who are tired of the UCG/ COGW/LCG politics and hypocrisy.  The Apostle is the ONLY man on earth today preaching the truth, so HEED his teachings! The Apostle does not have the funds to start his own Feast site this year, so he is encouraging all of you apartment dwellers to pitch a tent inside your apartment so you can experience the Feast in your temporary dwelling.  Do you own a farm or have some land?  Pitch a tent in the woods and stay there for the eight days.

Those who have nowhere to go, might chose to go to a place where they can study intensely without the distractions of the many carnal activities usually associated with the modern feast observance.  Or if funds are a major problem they might consider camping out on their farms or in their back yards.  Apartment dwellers might, as a last resort only; set up a tent indoors to act out the analogy of being travelers in a strange land.  I say as a last resort only.

But before you do this you must cut some branches from your trees and wave them around for eight days and pay reverence to them.  You are not to build 'booths' with them, but are to wave them.  The

 rest of hte COG's are ignorant about this awesome revelation that Apostle Malm has had.

As we are to abide in Christ, so is the main harvest to learn to abide in Christ!  The branches [people] represent the main harvest of humanity being brought into the Temple [family] of God.  We are to rejoice with our branches; to represent the great rejoicing as the main harvest of humanity is brought  into the family of God!
