PCG Continues to Arrogantly Flaunt Oklahoma and UK guidelines For Coronavirus Distancing



One thing Church of God leaders have always tried to ingrain in us that because we were sooooooo special and called out from the world that we were set apart and specially protected by God from all kinds of diseases and circumstances. Gerald Flurry, Dave Pack, Bob Thiel, Gerald Weston and other COG leaders all tell their followers this myth.

PCG sticks out above the rest for their blatant disregard to Health Dept rules in Oklahoma and the UK (which has stricter rules than the U.S does).

PCG carries on the COG tradition of using members and students as free slave labor during this time.





Meanwhile, in the UK, it is business as usual as the women trained to be docile and submissive as they cook dinner for the men who spend the day cleaning up campus grounds.




Dave Pack: Christ could literally return at any time



Now that Dave Pack has once again proven he is an epic failure in predicting the return of his creature he calls Christ, he has more excuses as to why it has delayed coming to Wadsworth to walk the hallowed grounds of Dave's compound, as the two of them plan its 3rd coming.

Take Comfort—Be Encouraged Monday
It is now evident God did want us to “observe” all the remaining days of Abib following Passover. He clearly does want to build His third (spiritual) temple in the same month He started the first and second physical temples—in Iyar, also called Zif! As also mentioned in the previous announcement, the apostles’ question about restoring the Kingdom during Iyar now indicates they understood more about timing than we previously thought.
Know that all Greek and Hebrew words—mellemahhamikrontachu and others—are still very much in play. Pestilence is peaking. We have done the will of God per Hebrews 10:36 and must now exercise patienceVerse 37 is now truer than ever: “Yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry!”
God has a set date for His Son’s Return to Earth. Christ Himself said “of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but My Father only” (Matt. 24:36). But understand! Even if we do not know the specific moment He will come, we are close. We must be. This verse must work together with those referenced in the previous paragraph.
We have come a long way. It has been a wonderful—and sometimes hard!—journey. But if we have made it this far, many verses suggest our status is settled. A brief announcement can only say so much, but think of Revelation 22:10 where it states “the time is at hand.” Immediately following in verse 11, God declares that “he that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.” The latter half of this verse is a picture of people SETTLED in a righteous and holy condition! You can be confident God has His little flock in mind. And it is right after this in verse 12 that Christ says, “And, behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be,” further underscoring we are settled NOW!
And then there is Revelation 3:10. We have kept the word of Christ’s patience, so He promises to keep us from the hour of trial—which again points to being settled.
We leave you with one more indicator of Iyar by returning to Matthew 24: “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be” (vs. 37-39).
Genesis 7:11 shows this day when the Flood came—tied to the “coming of the Son of Man”—was “in the second month,” which is Iyar. This was carefully recorded for a reason.
Brethren, it should give us great peace knowing Christ could literally return at any time. Let us continue to do our part and remain spiritually awake until the “day and hour” we all long for!

PCG: Takes 1.1 Million Dollars In Taxpayers Money Through CARES Act And Then Brags About It



Just when you think the vermin that run various Churches of God cannot get any sicker, along comes this. There needs to be a public outcry to force these sick people into returning the money so that legitimate small business can pay their employees.  No Church fo God deserves this money when their entire income is made up of forced tithing. They offer no goods to the public that deserves to be supported by taxpayers.

Froma reader here:
Philadelphia Church of God
The coronavirus lockdown is reducing the income of all churches, but PCG’s treasurer Andrew Locher was able to announce on April 25th that, under the recently passed CARES Act, the PCG had received a loan of $1,100,000 from the government (i.e. the American taxpayers).
He said that the money will not have to be paid back if the church follows the government’s rules – which it will. 
He likened the receipt of the money to the day when Egypt was spoiled by the Hebrew people. 
Does this mean that the financial oppression on its members can be reduced? No – “don’t let down on your financial offerings, on your obedience to God’s financial laws ... step out in faith, do your part, show your faith by your works, and give generously to God’s Work, and He will bless us like we can’t even imagine.”
