Prophet Thiel Wants To Know If You Pinched Anyone Today

Today is St. Patrick's Day and Prophet Thiel is having his yearly snit about it.  It's all about those nasty, vile, fake, non-Christians vs the one and only true church, restored after 1,970 years, that is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina.  Dumb Catholic Patrick pales in comparison to the TRUE leader of the Living Church of God!

It's all about the pagan filth that believe in the trinity.  How Patrick took a pagan symbol of spring rebirth, the shamrock, and turned it into a tool of the trinity. It's about marauding hoards of youth running around pinching people not wearing green.

Although most probably consider that getting drunk is the biggest social problem associated with the holiday (other than its ties to idolatry), one particularly disgusting practice is that people who do not wear green on this day are subject to ridicule and harassment.

One such practice (especially among some American children) is chasing and pinching those who do not wear green on that day. And while some may consider that this type of persecution is only a harmless practice, it has caused distress and harm to many children over the years.

The Prophet adds this later on:

...how can any who consider themselves any type of Christian participate or allow their children to participate is such a non-loving, non-merciful practice, like pinching? 

How can any real parent beat their children with inch think paddles.  How can ministers stand in pulpits and tell their congregations that they want to hear their kids screaming when they paddle them? Thiel's hypocrisy has no boundaries.


He then has to get into the debauchery that he sees in all holidays. Drunkenness is the priority of the day.  Everyone is out at the local bar getting smashed and then running out to their cars to kill people.

The “fruits” of this holiday are not good.  Not only are they dangerous (see St. Patrick’s Day: A More Dangerous Time to Drive) the type of revelry and drinking parties that occur supposedly to celebrate it were condemned by the Apostle Peter (1 Peter 4:1-3) and the Apostle Paul (Galatians 5:19-21).

For decades I worked with the ministerial dining room in Pasadena and at a couple of other Feast sites.  I have seen more drunken fools in those rooms, than I ever have seen wandering around Old Town Pasadena!  I have never been in a car accident with a drunken "worldly" person, but I was sure in one at the Feast of Tabernacles in the Pocono's when a drunken church member hit us. Also, many of those drunken ministers are now parked in LCG where I can guarantee you they are still big time alcoholics!

 The Prophet ends with this:

For those and all the related reasons, we in the Living Church of God do not intentionally wear green on St. Patrick’s Day, do not pinch others, nor do we intentionally observe other celebrations related to that Patrick on that day.

We, like others who try to “live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4), instead keep the same holy days that the Bible enjoins and that were kept by the original apostles and their early followers. 

No, we PERFECT COG members do not wear green or pinch people, but we do call Christians fakes. false, unconverted, and pagans.  We mock your beliefs, we mock your faith, we mock those for following Jesus instead of The Christ. We mock you for your supposed pagan holidays where we claim you are worshiping Satan and his demons.  We prohibit you from seeing family members who are no longer believers and have left the church.  We prevent you from seeing doctors.  We tell you to mortgage your homes and businesses and send it all it all in for the :final push" as we build bigger and better corporate headquarters and "colleges."  We stalk your women. We molest your children. We drive people to the point of suicide.

Give me St. Patrick's Day any time over that!

Apostate Malm: Corporate Prayer Leads to Sin and Witchcraft

Apostle Malm, the gift that keeps on giving!  Today the Apostle has an article about prayer.  While some of his comments about deacons and elders getting up at church services and saying long and boring prayers is half way right, the rest of his article is full of some of the stupidest things I have seen come from Armstrongites.

What he does get half way right:

Those who pray to be seen and thought righteous by others, are using God for their own purposes and will NOT be heard by him.  That includes all such prayer, including starting church services with a long and flowery prayer meant to impress the brethren.

 While prayer should be made to God to open a Holy Convocation; it should be a sincere prayer to our Father with no thought of what the people will think of it.

One more thing that is ofter overlooked is the attitude of GRATITUDE for all of our blessings.  When we feel oppressed and feel down sometimes we just need to count our blessings to stabilize our mood and get back to reality.  In the face of trials and persecution we need to stop, take a deep breath and remember how very much God has done for us, we need to remember his promises for those who overcome, and we need to remember that he will deliver those who are faithful to him and who call upon him.

Then stupidity reigns supreme. 


Communal family prayer leads to sin:

Some evangelicals recommend family prayer, where the whole family gets together and prays together.  It is good to teach our children to pray, but when they are ready, encourage them to pray on their own.  This communal prayer  can lead to sin, for persons will drift into speaking to influence or impress the others and so misuse prayer  and lose contact with the Father.

Holding hands in a circle is a sign of witchcraft:

Most certainly, do NOT hold hands in a circle to pray as that is a witchcraft teachnique intended to focus the people and aritificially psychologically unite them together with the leader;  in opposition to each person independently uniting with God.  Always watch for such manipulation techniques, that replace unity with God; with a unity around any person or group!

 Public prayer can be embarrassing and offensive: (half of this is right, I have heard many public prayers where the speaker should have kept his mouth shut!)

Therefore, it is far better to hide ones self away in secret and to pray in private where we can pour out our heart to God in honest sincerity without fear of embarrassment or offending others.

One hour prayers taught by HWA wastes God's time.  (Again, half way right. A one word prayer such as "Thanks!" is just as valid as a one hour prayer that most times was filled with fluff. If you are sitting there with a clock trying to fill time in for an hour then it most certainly is a waste of time.)

In the HWA WCG we are told that we should pray for at least an hour a day, and people often were using repetition and inventing things to pray about just to fill in time.  This is also a great evil.  It is wasting God’s time, so to say; and it is making a mockery of prayer and communication with the Father.

 God's will is defined by the law:

We are told to seek that the Father’s will be done on earth as in heaven; that means that God’s commandments be obeyed without compromise as they are in heaven: for God’s will is defined by his law. 

This is a request that God’s Kingdom come NOW in spirit with the writing of God’s law in our minds and hearts so that we may have a place in that Kingdom.

Apostate Malm talks a lot about "vain repetitions."  He talks about law so much as part of prayer that it has become a vain repetition.  The law has nothing to do with prayer. Only in the mind of legalists is the law important to prayer. To a legalist a sick person is sick because they broke the law.  A person with cancer in the hospital is sick because they broke the law.  A child is killed because of some hind of sin of the parent or child.  People suffer because they broke the law. 

Malm's god offers no hope for either sinner or saint.

More Hypocrisy From Restored Church of God

Dave Pack has been very vocal over the years lambasting various COG's for giving money to various Christian charities or for helping people out after natural disasters.  Armstrongism has always held a belief that it was not important to help those suffering because God was either punishing them, or God would eventually take care of them in the world tomorrow.  It was a waste of money that should be used to further the "gospel" instead of helping those in need.

Pack has attacked UCG over Lifenets and other contributions they have made to disaster victims.  He lambasted WCG for helping people after Katrina and other COG's for tsunami relief.  Pack thinks it is wrong to work with pagan Christians in their humanitarian efforts.

Flash forward to his latest back slapping defecting minister and his wife, Vidal Wachuku.  Vidal and his wife have been active participants and fund raisers for Relief Network Ministries.  They have funneled their own money and helped raise money to take care of the less fortunate in Africa.  RNN does a lot of work helping drill wells.

Engr. Metibaiye suggested that we include the idea of Poverty Reduction in our conception of solutions proposed to them for partnership or small grants to RNM, Inc. Our Abuja representative, Mr. Vidal Wachuku, a corporate law attorney, accompanied us. Relief Networks

 Not only did Vidal and his wife give lots of money to relief efforts he also is a member of various community organizations that  worldly. If TRUE Christians are supposed to separate themselves from the world, why is Vidal allowed to be a part of these groups?  Is it for the prestige it will bring to Dave and his small cult?  Or, has Dave put the breaks on the Wachuku's community volunteerism and donations?

Vidal is a card carrying member of Rotary International:

Jul 24, 2006 (Daily Trust/All Africa Global Media via COMTEX) -- Barrister Vidal Wachuku, was installed as the district gove-rnor of district 9130 of the Rotary Club in Abuja at the weakened. The guest speaker at the occasion Enyinnaya Nwauche, said "we should inculcate service to others in our children, because a civil society must be protected and natured, for the society to grow. Our public service in Nigeria is not well natured, because we do not have the personal feel to serve. Our NGOs and civil society are believed not be honest." 

At 8:36AM on 26 December 2007, IPDG District 9130, Prince Vidal N. Wachuku wrote: I was challenged to meet such a determined and focused young adult who dared to thread where Lions dread. I say this in light of the unfortunate negative publicity given Nigeria by the Western Media. I'm sure Brittney would today be one of the greatest ambassadors of Nigeria having come and seen things for herself at such a tender age.She has demonstrated that she has what it takes to succeed in life. I therefore wish her all the best on her way to the top! Brittney, it sure was a pleasure meeting you.

Then all of a sudden, BANG, Vidal eyes are anointed and he sees the light.  Angelic choirs appear when he sees Dave for the first time.  He is so struck by the magnificence of Dave that he is almost knocked backwards.  (If you are a bonifide Armstrongism, you should know what happens when someone is knocked backwards!!!!!) Do the Wachuku's see a money making empire in training RCGers to manage their money, or has Dave seen them as a money making machine for his new corporate monument to himself?  Why is it OK for his new ministers to give money to humanitarian relief when other COG's are condemned?

Apostle Malm on Frivolous Lawsuits

Apostle Malm had the following comment today about frivolous lawsuits brought by COGers against other COGers.  Armstrongism has had one man in particular who resorts to lawsuits to stop his critics.  One has to wonder if "He Who Cannot Be Named" is going to Satan to get his dirty work done...just a thought.  "He Who Cannot Be Named" has a long track record of doing this.  All of those lawsuits have damaged his reputation beyond repair and has made him a fool to be mocked on Facebook.

I can see where a defense might be needed against spurious lawsuits made to extort by worldly persons, but consider whether it is seemly for saints to seek judgment from this Satan controlled world.  It is a disgrace when the saints cannot settle their own disputes and must go to “Satan” for relief.

PS:  If you comment on this, you cannot mention "He Who Cannot Be Named" in your comments by name.
