While various COGlet's splinter personality cults are idolizing HWA on this the 25th anniversary of his death, I thought I would give you a peek into the apostles lifestyle.
While the membership toiled and struggled in the 60's and 70's HWA was on a spending spree in Europe. Millions of dollars were dumped over the years to furnish the home of the end time prophet. This was all during the time the pleading letters were sent to the members to send in as much money as they could because the work was 'in crisis.'
Of course we had morons that justified these artifacts as necessary for the entrainment of world leaders and dignitaries coming to hear about a "Strong Hand From Someplace". Others claimed all these goodies would be used to take care of the brethren as they were struggling in Petra. These items would buy us food and drink and shelter by the Muslims.
One other idiot in Pasadena claimed that the Pasadena campus would never be destroyed during the tribulation. The invading armies of Germany would use the Pasadena campus as their military headquarters. They would be so in awe and taken back by it's beauty that they would not destroy it. Because of that the Pasadena campus would be the new earthly HQ of God's people when the Kingdom was established. Never mind that the city is supposed to be Jerusalem, but heck, this is typical WCG mythology and it sounded cool! Never mind that these armies would be torturing and killing fellow citizen's while they dinned and enjoyed music in the Auditorium.
