Exposing the underbelly of Armstrongism in all of its wacky glory! Nothing you read here is made up. What you read here is the up to date face of Herbert W Armstrong's legacy. It's the gritty and dirty behind the scenes look at Armstrongism as you have never seen it before!
With all the new crazy self-appointed Chief Overseers, Apostles, Prophets, Pharisees, legalists, and outright liars leading various Churches of God today, it is important to hold these agents of deception accountable.
Herbert Armstrong's Tangled Web of Corrupt Leaders
One of the hallmarks of a Christian is that a person is supposed to care for those less fortunate, the hungry, the imprisoned, the naked stranger at the gate. This kind of caring does not stop with Christians. Agnostics, atheists, people of other religions all see the need to care for the less fortunate.
However for Church of God members that all flies out the window. Herbert Armstrong and the Churches of God has had a long history of IGNORING the homeless, the hungry, the poor and the Samaritan at the side of the road. The reason was, that if Church members spent money on the poor and the homeless, then that was money that was not being sent to Herbert Armstrong or any of the harlot daughters of Armstrongism.
In the late 70's there was a minister in Pasadena who was an alcoholic. He had struggled with it and found that AA worked for him. He got a small group of local Pasadena churches together to work on this issue. HWA, Meredith, and other right wingers in the church had a fit. They screamed and screeched till the man had to withdraw from the group. Church members were then discouraged from attending AA meetings. They were to find support and encouragement from REAL godly men who were Christs ministers on earth in the Church of God.
Another incident was right after Herb had shut down the Pasadena campus the first time around and before GTA was canned. Ted wanted to use the Student Center to feed and clothe the homeless in Pasadena. This went over like a lead balloon with Herb and crew. Another screaming fit was had by HWA and Meredith about the lost income and the hungry, dirty, urine soaked homeless people that would be walking on God's most beautiful campus on earth.
Like every other issue Apostle Malm wants to get his grubby little hands in, he has something vitally import to say about this too:
A reader of the Apostles blog asks:
Hi James, We still have that freedom to own and run our property here in Tassy {AUSTRALIA} and as I mentioned before, owning and looking after live stock is a 24/7 job, we pay no one to work on the sabbath, I do what needs to be done ! and then call it a day. And as much as I dislike factory farming,{ours is notone} who or what will feed this ever increasing population ?
The Apostle replies:
Let Caesar worry about his increasing masses! We are called out of this world to learn a better way so that we can teach that way to others in the Kingdom! David was a shepherd and the farmers and herdsmen in the faith have a special opportunity to learn so very much! Let us learn from our circumstances and not get drawn into Satan’s ways of doing things; who knows what will come for us in the Kingdom? James
So, in other words, it is SATAN who has inspired people to take care of the poor in the cities, to feed them, clothe them, give them shelter! Part of the real issue behind Malm, Meredith, HWA, and other COGlet ministers is that the homeless tend to be made up of a disproportionate number of blacks and Hispanics. A true British Israelite knows that these people are 'gentiles' and therefore will be take care of later in the Kingdom when they are washed clean of their 'gentile' heritage.The stupidity that continues to come out of Apostle Malm's mouth is amazing. The worst part are the FOOLS that think he is making sense!
