But really, I am not...
Things don't look too pretty for Sheldon Monson's Church of God Assembly right now. A source just revealed that Monson went to the hospital recently for pneumonia. It then emerged that it was most likely COVID.
Apparently, those LCG members who jumped ship when he split from LCG over its COVID precautions are not too enthralled with him. Some have left for other COG groups.
Maybe that is the reason he has this up as the lead on his web site:
Losing members means less money and what would a good Church of God splinter leader do without money?
Another sermon Monson has up is about the proverbial topic of church government. Nothing about Jesus or what his salvational works accomplished but a lot of crap on how important it is for members to know they must follow government, from the top down.

All right I want to get into the Sermon here today. I want to cover a topic that might not be popular with some, but this isn't a popularity contest. I feel we need to speak the truth no matter what, regardless of the outcome and so I am going to cover a topic that's not been covered by some for a while. But it's a very important topic and several people have discussed this topic with me in recent months. And we live in a time in human history at the end of the age where there is very little respect for authority (Including in the COG movement!). And today I want to talk about government and the Church and what God's form of Church government is and I think that this is something that will be a review for most of you, but for others it may seem a bit self-serving that I'm the guy giving the message on government and that's OK. You can think what you want, we're going to cover what the Bible says.
Nothing like starting a sermon off by being all pissy over people's perceived reactions. Stupid members can never do anything right! What's the point of attending church anymore if all you are going to get is one browbeating after another?
Another source said that none of these leaving Monson's group went to Bob Thiel. Had to laugh at that one.
Any more info available?
