Update: This might be the reason Douglass has not heard from The Journal:
"don't know if this is a
factor in the no response for Douglas, but Dixon had a heart attack awhile back
and he may be either recovering or has lost interest in the Journal.
I
have not received one in awhile.."
Douglas mentioned the other day that he has contacted The Journal several times about submitting an ad/story debunking British Israelism. So far they have not responded to him. His articles and information are well researched and thought out.
I find it strange that they are doing this considering the fact they have ads in their paper for some of the weirdest things out there in COGland.
The Journal has a section in it called Connections. Just glancing though it is an eye opening experience. It is filled with some of the most incredibly insane rantings by COG ministers/members that I have ever seen. When people question why the 600 some harlot daughters of the Worldwide Church of God are NOT growing, this is why! If only these loonies would open their eyes! But then I think, 'There but by the grace of God go I!" I shudder to think that I could still be in one of these silly irrelevant cults!
It covers everything from UFO's, crop circles, pagan Thanksgiving, Art Makarow's irrelevance, Slick Willie Dankenbrings Concentration Camps, to Ken Westby and the One God follies.
Here are just a few of the silly things published by these spiritual bankrupt individuals all claiming they alone have the truth:
Most people outside of the Church lack basic knowledge about
God's feast times. We wanted them to understand to have a
chance at attaining spiritual salvation they must become involved
with the things in which God is interested and involved.

When The Saints Go Marching In "The Full Gospel Revealed " by Milton Huston
THE FULL GOSPEL REVEALED: When The Saints Go Marching In is an amazing exposition of "The Full Gospel" as it is revealed in the Spiritual context and consensus of the Holy Scripture, from Genesis through Revelation. The author covers in a few short pages what it would take biblical scholars and theologians three or four Volumes and over a thousand pages to convey. (Houston is a former crackpot deacon from Pasadena)
* Biblical Insights for the world today and the coming new world order.
* Detailing latter day prophecies, our time now, as given and clarified
by Jesus Christ, the prophets and apostles.
* Defining and understanding true Christian responsibilities and
maturity in preparing for Christ's soon return.

2009 Is a Wednesday-Passover Year Like Exodus Year-1,
Conquest Year-1 and the Crucifixion Year
Let us observe in 2009 the correct biblical dates for Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread and Pentecost!
The Creators Covenant Cult uses the Koran to support their fallacies. Sadly, these wing nuts are from South Pasadena! Too close for comfort!
And remember the favor of Allah on you and His covenant with which He bound you firmly, when you said: We have heard and we obey, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, surely Allah knows what is in the breasts. (Koran 5:7 )
Surely Allah has bought of the believers their persons and their property for this, that they shall have the garden; they fight in Allah's way, so they slay and are slain; a promise which is binding on Him in the Taurat(Torah) and the Injeel (New Testament Gospel) and the Quran; and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? Rejoice therefore in the pledge which you have made; and that is the mighty achievement. (Koran 9.11 )

Northwest Church of God (UK)
Re-introduced into Britain by the Worldwide Church of God, the true religion suffered a severe blow when it adopted an hierarchical form of church government.
It was this which caused some members of the NW Church of God to leave the Worldwide Church of God, eventually joining together to form a completely independent church determined to follow the bible form of church government based upon a conference of church elders, as we read of in Acts chapter 15. Until now it has linked with other independent churches in 'Churches of God Outreach Ministries', (CGOM) to more effectively preach the gospel.
And who can pass up phrenologist Fred Coulter's $150.00 'Correct Order' Bible. And just because you are a Journal Reader you can get his silly book for less than $100.00. Oh the joy!
Don Billingsley's Cult has numerous stupid predictions and claims to know when the end is coming:
"...And, basing this projected period of time
on similar prophetic Scriptures that have to
do with three and one-half conclusive years,
such as Daniel 12:7; James 5:17; Revelation
11:3; 12:14, could very well indicate a final
three and one-half year period of time for
this Work to be completed. If this is accurate,
it would reach its conclusion by the Feast of
Tabernacles 2009, or by January 7, 2010;
Christ would then close the door to His
Work (Revelation 3:7-
.
Why January 7, 2010? By use of the 19-
year time cycles that figure prominently with
the Gospel going to the world, beginning with
the ministry of Christ, and each cycle thereafter
a very significant event taking place in
conjunction with it, as did the Work in
January, 1934, another one will take
place in January, 2010."
Projections for 2009
It is highly possible the new president could be assassinated
during his term in office, as have been past presidents,
including the one he is patterning his tenure after, President
Lincoln, and also his possible counterpart, Nimrod. If so, there
will be racial riots that will tear the nation apart...
If this should occur-by observing what took place in previous
years, the grocery stores will be looted along with the
burning and destruction of many of the federal and state
buildings. This could put the people of this country in immediate
need for food! Undoubtedly this would also result in
anarchy followed by the need for Martial Law!
Then there is Ken Westby and the One God crackpots:
We pray to a single person, God, as he
is presented throughout Scripture. Trinitarian
and Binitarian "Godheads" are metaphysical
mysteries that can muddle understanding
and confuse God's children
as they seek to relate to their
heavenly Father. These doctrines
import alien, pagan ideas about
deity into Christian doctrine. Such
doctrines attack the first and greatest
commandment and are properly
exposed and resisted.
Included in this edition is a lot of blabbering from Art Makarow! He, for some reason, still thinks he has some relevance to the world.
And then if you think Armstrongism can't get any crazier there is this:
ET UFO's?
"James S. Downard wrote that the CIA
was making biotelemetry implants in suspecting
people as early as 1933. After the
operation, the victims were kept drugged for
a time and then were brainwashed." 'Alien'
implants into humans used the same devices
and method.
Crop Circles
"Former aerospace engineer Brian Desborough
in his book They Cast No Shadows
[about the Illuminati] says that crop circles
are in many cases due to . . . a low powered
gamma ray beam device. Such technology
was only implemented into widespread use
by the military [when] elaborate crop circles
first began to appear."
"The high frequency gamma ray beam
would cause the moisture in the nodes to
convert to super heated steam, swelling and
softening the nodal cells and causing the
stalks to bend in the direction swept by the
beam
UFO's
Government lied (saying flying saucers
do not exist; if they exist they are alien) to
cover up that flying saucers are real and
flown for 60 years by men without ET help.
So cheap transportation and power supply
withheld from public by the richest men
...cattle mutilations in remote
areas are ongoing program by CIA Special
Operations Division by flying saucer crews.
Specimen samples tested for radiation and
sterilization effects of death ray devices
under development since 1960s.
Then there is a crack pot called Jan Young and his completely insane beliefs:
Church Hymns/Thanksgiving/4th of July/
Likewise, all Protestant songs are of the
devil (this I finally learned). No matter how
good they may sound, they are of idolatrous
worship and it is completely safe to avoid
them all.
My article about the book Lies My
Teacher Told Me told how Columbus Day
honors a 'Hitler' responsible for starting
slave trade, extermination of indigenous
races and other atrocities. And the book
tells how Thanksgiving Day is like it since
the Pilgrims within a generation after the
feast with their Indian benefactors slaughtered
them for no good reason and with
atrocities as bad as Columbus. There is a
"national mythology around Thanksgiving-
a mythology that amounts to a kind of
holocaust denial."
The fact that many atheists keep Thanksgiving
Day that is supposed to honor God,
should point out which 'God' is really honored,
as many atheists keep Christmas, too.
Independence Day is just the US version
of Britain's Midsummer's Fires for the summer
solstice as Canada's July 1. Christmas is
for the winter solstice. US Founding Fathers,
Masons, kept both solstices with works of
fire. Freemasonry's two patron saints' festivals
"are only a perpetuation of the feasts of
the old fertility cult at the summer and winter
solstices."
God that way!
Too bad the featured entrée was not an
unclean meat as pig instead of turkey. Few
COGs would be eating the big meal. Though
no compulsion stops other US citizens from
eating unclean meats during the featured
meal, especially the original Pilgrims
Make-up and High Heels
It is amazing that many COGs allow
makeup, though it was part of the apostasy of
the new WCG after HWAdied. Most of these
would have a different view if they had been
living in the early 1900s when it was becoming
popular due to makeup and high heel
companies hiring actresses to wear them on
stage and screen to boost their sales and get
women hooked on the practices
Platform and high-heeled shoes produce
the wanton wiggle or minced step the Bible
condemns
Slick Willie Dankenbring is confident that concentration camps are being built to ultimately house COGites. One COGite member in Palm Springs several years ago claimed one is currently built here in Glendale CA. Which of course was another COG lie. They claim it was being built up behind Brand Library in the hillside.
"The bill mandates that six separate facilities
be established in different Federal Emergency
Management Agency Regions (FEMA) throughout
the country.
"The camps will double up as 'command and
control' centers that will also house a '24/7 operations
watch center' as well as training facilities
for Federal, State, and local first responders. The
bill also contains language that will authorize
camps to be established within closed or already
operating military bases around the country"
(Prisonplanet.com 1-29-09).
The times are rapidly changing; the storm clouds
are blowing in the wind and increasing in velocity.
Trouble is brewing, and catastrophe is rearing its
ugly visage, frowning down threateningly upon
mankind.
