The Church of God has been plagued for decades with one self-righteous know-it-all after another. Each one claiming to know more than the next guy, and each one with more "accurate" dates. We started out with Herbert Armstrong claiming all kinds of fantastical prophecies. Then Meredith, Hoeh, Blackwell, and others added their mixture of personal interpretations into the mix making the prophetic quagmire one enormous mess of lies.
Then Herbert Armstrong had to go and die, throwing the long list of prophecies and expectations into the trash bin. The church then imploded which further threw the prophetic utterances out the window. With the church in such a mess, Gerald Flurry started making his predictions as the rightful heir to Herbert Armstrong. Then Meredith added his mess to the mixture. So far everything these guys have predicted has been one epic failure.
With all of these failures swirling around, God's most superfantabulous man ever to live in human history began reinterpreting the Bible to fit his own deluded imagination. Dave Pack's prophecies have been so far out there that even God has hung his head in embarrassment.
With Dave out of the mess, Bob Thiel and James Malm stepped up to the plate with their equally deluded prophecies. From Germans rising up and using the Hadron Collider to destroy the United States when Baron von Gututtenburg takes over as the Beast, to Church of God members being slaughtered because they lack zeal, these two bumbling buffoons have made it obvious to the COG that they have no idea what they are talking about either.
James Malm has the tribulation starting in the fall of 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and many more dates to just be sure he eventually hits the right one. Bob Thiel is likewise stacking the deck in his favour. Both are outright liars and not to be believed. Malm is the most zealous man on the earth and Thiel is the best doubly blessed self-ordained man the church has ever had lead it in human history, which makes neither one of them followers of the god they claim to follow.
Every single self-appointed prophet the Church of God has ever had, from HWA and onward to the fools we have running off at the mouth today, each and every one of them has been proven to be outright liars. The Bible says all these little men need to have happen is to have one prophecy fail and they are 100% discredited and that members are not to follow them. But since when have any of these men ever followed the god they claim to follow? In their eyes, it is all a money making scheme to put money in their pockets, either through forced tithing or incessant begging like Malm does. None of these men deserves your money. None of them certainly needs to be followed as teachers of truth, because they are not.
