UPDATED: Was Rod Meredith Sermon On "Government" So Outlandish They Had To Remove It?

Proper Church Government Is Necessary!

UPDATED BELOW

It has been well publicized over the decades just how vengeful Rod Meredith can be when it comes to people he thinks are being disloyal to him or the church.  In almost every sermon, article and letter he has to reenforce the "proper place" of government in the church.  The whole idea is to get across to the lowly members that he and he alone is the man in charge and that they are at the bottom of the equation.

When issues in the church start boiling over Meredith immediately sets up a team of loyalists who start the internal inquisitions, where they question and challenge all people they deem to be disloyal.  When theses people are found, the inquisition team them makes a public spectacle out of them.  They start spreading rumors and lies in order to discredit them.  Sermons are given publicly smearing reputations and family names.  Disfellowshipments soon follow ripping families and friendships apart.  All done to keep Meredith happy and in control.

Notice the reason Meredith holds these inquisitions: "We’re trying to keep God’s church clean."

In the quote below he claims that people are put out because they "lie and lie."  The biggest liars I have seen over the decades have been the men in charge of these inquisitions.  These men have no integrity.  That is glaringly obvious on how they will do any thing and say any thing in order to please their master.  Rod McNair is a great example of this.

Church of God News had this up about a sermon Meredith preached on church government in 2014.  This "must play" sermon on authority and love" has been wiped clean from the servers.  Its potentially devastating to the LCG now that they are facing a lawsuit because that "love" part has been sorely missing over the decades.


In October 2014 we reported about Roderick Meredith’s audio sermon, God’s Government Is Vital, in which he said, “I’ve asked Mr McNair and Mr League, they’ve been working as a team to get all the information on many of these things, and I’m working with them and other leaders ... We’re trying to keep God’s church clean.” 
“We found that some of these people we’ve had to put out ... they often lie and lie, and they’ll twist and turn, and turn things around ...” 
This was a must play sermon for the Day of Atonement, together with a sermonette by Rod McNair, Ministerial Authority is Based on Love, in which he set out three measures for disciplining members who cause division within the church by refusing to submit fully to the authority of ministers: Suspension, Disfellowshipping and Marking. This is all done in love, he says, as “love will cover a multitude of sins” (1 Peter 4:8). 
Unfortunately, you can no longer listen to either of these messages, as:‘The item is not available due to issues with the item’s content.’(Bob League, who was named in the legal action, alongside Meredith and McNair, died in January 2015.)

UPDATE:

They pulled the videos because that was the sermon that Meredith slandered the Scarborough's. Which is funny since LCG is obviously claiming that they DID NOT slander the Scarborough's since they have hired those fancy lawyers to defend them. 
Why would you remove a video if it wasn't slanderous? You wouldn't. Obviously. 
And yet, instead of making peace (free) the men at LCG keep paying lawyers because they are so prideful and arrogant that they can't admit they were wrong even though it is blaringly obvious to the rest of us that they were.

Noah's Global Flood? The Big Conundrum


We never heard any COG leader explain this issue.  Perhaps Dave Pack, Bob Thiel or James Malm can fill us in on this conundrum, since they claim to know everything.

James Malm's Attack Against This Blog Backfires



Last week James Malm wwas filled with self-righteous indignation over an item that I posted (from an LCG source) about John Robinson getting sacked. 

The indignant Chief Pharisee wrote:
Over a week ago “Banned” falsely posted that LCG had fired John Robinson.  This has been hot on the internet and I initially believed this myself until getting the facts.
Last Sunday the entire Robinson family attended the LCG social, yesterday the oldest child headed to Banff for the Adventure Camp.  John and family are still in Charlotte and John is still on the LCG payroll and is still working on the next magazine.   The Robinson family will be at Charlotte services today.  
“Banned” twists and spins virtually everything they report to mean something quite different from the truth and often posts outright false reports like this one.  
There is no truth whatsoever to this “Banned” post.
My source from LCG, is 100% credible and has access way higher up the food chain than anyone Malm could ever dream of having, said that Robinson was terminated but because of the story being broke here and the HUGE amount of trouble it caused in Charlotte, the boys had to save face and create a story about him working from home.  It was a CREATED excuse!
Malm is only stating that it's a lie to discredit your site because he hates you more than he hates RCM. That being said, the Robinson family has been at Sabbath services in Charlotte. It's sad to see someone with so little self esteem take a beating and be willing to come back for more because he's too scared to walk away from what he knows is an abusive, ungodly situation.
The Chief Pharisee is bitter that his sources are not on top of things.  Many of the items he posts he finds here first and then spins the tall tale that his secret source gave him the information. We know who the secret source is because many times he has copied word for word what was posted here.

Another issue that has come to light is the false report from apostate Malm is the story, that he started, that 200+ people were subpoenaed by the Scarborough's for depositions in regards to the Defamation of Character lawsuit that they have brought against Rod Meredith, Rod McNair and the LCG.  A source with direct ties to the lawsuit told me that that number is totally wrong.  It is far less than that.  I have the exact amount but will keep that confidential for now.

The Chief Pharisees claims to have high up sources in LCG and UCG.  So far all of these sources have been feeding Malm a lot of feculence.  What more can we expect from a man who has bastardized the law to fit his own perverted agenda that he sets forth to enslave people even further.  His absolute rejection of Jesus, grace and justification sets him apart as being even worse than Dave Pack and Rod Meredith, postioning him right beside Bob Thiel.

The only person the Chief Pharisee and Chief Judaizer is smearing is himself.  He has become the laughing stock of the Church of God.

He can go ahead and spin his tall tales about this blog all he wants.  Every time he does, more people start reading here, much like the LCG member do when Meredith has a fit over this blog.  Its funny how something that started out as nothing more than a diversion has become such a thorn in the side of the bottom feeders of the church. 

This blog is now the "go to" site for news in LCG and has becomes a safe sounding board for LCG members and other groups. This does NOT make the Chief Pharisee and others happy.

Updated: Philadelphia Church of God: KPCG Radio Station A Complete Flop As It Fails To Excite The Edmond Neighbors


In the most recent edition of The Philadelphian an article appears written by Gerald Flurry’s grandson Grant Turgeon about PCG’s fledgling radio station KPCG.FM.  This article contains some very revealing comments by Stephen Flurry who inadvertently admits that their radio station project is a complete flop which unsurprisingly is being listened to only by a handful of members:

For those who don’t know last year PCG established a new radio station KPCG.FM, which began broadcasting from the Edmond compound using a low-power transmitter that covered a 6 or 7 mile local radius.  

Soon after the station began broadcasting the obvious potential for self-promotion was quickly realised by the PCG elite wannabes: Malone, Hilliker, Davis, etc. who proceeded to host their own radio shows. 

Since that time PCG has sunk literally hundreds of thousands of dollars into this project including the development of two broadcasting studios, one in Edmond and one in the new UK campus at Edstone.   Each of these studios is fitted out with professional grade equipment and operated and staffed by PCG employees.  For those who do not live in the Edmond antenna footprint an online service through Soundcloud was developed to allow access to the programming from further afield.  

After all this investment, daily programming, cost and effort what has been the outcome?  According to the article only around 300 people a day on average are actually listening to it!   By their admission of those who tune in the overwhelming majority are PCG members!

In Turgeon’s article uncle Stephen’s comments appear in the final paragraph.  In it he makes some revealing comments:

“[G]oing in, we were aiming to reach an audience beyond our members and co-workers. That may take time.” Mr. Flurry said. “Right now, we have a very supportive audience that consists mostly of members and co-workers. But we have been advertising the station on TV here in the UK, so hopefully we will see our audience expand as we head into our second year of broadcasting.”

That statement is classic PCG-speak which can be translated for outsiders as follows:

Statement
 “Going in, we were aiming to reach an audience beyond our members and co-workers”.

Translation
“The whole point of the radio station was to reach people outside the PCG with our message”.

Statement
“Right now, we have a very supportive audience that consists mostly of members and co-workers”.

Translation
“We have completely failed to reach anybody outside the PCG. The only people who are listening are hard-core members who feel they have to support everything the PCG does”.

Statement
“But we have been advertising the station on TV here in the UK”, 

Translation
“Although we have no idea about advertising and marketing or even possess one iota of basic business sense, we are never going to admit we made a mistake.  Subsequently we will continue to drive this project to its bitter end. Even though it is obvious we don’t know what we’re doing and the station is failing miserably we are going to pursue this even if it means throwing hundreds of thousands more down the drain in the process.  We are so delusional and so out of touch with how modern media operates all we can come up with as a solution is the unbelievably stupid idea of advertising the radio station using the most rapidly declining yet expensive form of media on earth (TV) to promote another form of media (radio) whose terminal decline set in years ago”.

Statement
“(S)o hopefully we will see our audience expand as we head into our second year of broadcasting”.

Translation
“Again, we have no idea what we are doing, we don’t really know anything about marketing, trends, media etc, we just hope it’s all going to work out for us as a simple article of faith.  If we are wrong we will never admit it, we will just pursue this project until we lose interest, then blame its demise on the members for their lack of support and inherent spiritual problems.  Not to worry after all it’s is just tithe money and church morale".

UPDATE:
In the link posted above in the first paragraph is the article after it has been sanitized by PCG.  The original quote that is no longer in the article is this screen shot:

PCG now has to hide the fact that Stephen Flurry admitted they have not accomplished what they set out to do.
